#1 Wretchard at Belmont Club has an excellent essay, "The Pound of Flesh", where he notes that Israeli settlers are taking matters into their own hands and are retaliating at levels that "the palestinians don't like" because their government is reacting to terrorists as if they were legitimate combatants under the Geneva conventions.

#2 If the settlers take a page from Vlad's ideas on turks, I'll wager Ham-ass will really start to panic.

#3 This continuing nonsense can be attributed solely to Israel, because of its utter unwillingness to do what every other country on Earth would do when faced with an intransigent and violent enemy.

Yet Israel so revels in its own feelings of guilt and *potential* guilt so much that it allows its own citizens to be murdered, instead of kicking all of the violent people out for good.

It is like a sane person trapped in a room with an insane person fixated on killing them. Focused entirely on killing them. And yet the sane person just tries to pretend the insane person away, only reacting to attack by gently pushing back, never attacking themselves. And they give the insane person endless gifts and promises of more if they will just stop trying to kill them.

It doesn't work.

It should be no surprise that the rest of the world is losing patience with Israel. They cannot blame the insane Paleos, because they are insane, and they have never really lied about their murderous intent.

But Israel has no such excuse. Time and time again they could have resolved the problem, but have refused to do so. Were they to just act decisively, ONCE, then this would finally end.

#4 I think Israel should take a look at the Phoenix Program and watch Godfather. In most cases they already know who the bad guys are. Next time there is a rocket attack take out the leadership of Hamas.

Even better arrange a spat/miscommunication between the Pals and Iran and then take out the leadership so others get credit.

#5 The problem is not the leadership of Hamas, or any of the purported "leaders" of the Palestinians. It is the Paleos themselves. And their foul religion and culture and all the other Muslims that goad them on.

Israel could just sweep the Gazans into Egypt and shut the door behind them. Then offer to do the same on the West Bank into Jordan unless the Paleos behaved themselves.

No "second chances", either. Once out, they are gone for good.

#6 'Tis a WIN-WIN for the Paleo, Regional MilTerrs - technically, they get to keep mil attacking Israel while putting the entire or predominant burden of econ developing the new Paleo Stare on Israel + the US-West.

#7 Kill the leaders and they dissolve into civil war until a new leader arrives. Kill those leaders and they dissolve into civil war again. Eventually the more militant ones are all gone.

I think the pushing them into the Sinai is not a bad idea either. Israel would be vilified for a decade or so but that's small change compared to what's going on now.
