What to do about Gaza: The realistic scenario
2008-03-19
Not only is there no good solution to the Gaza problem, there's no "solution" at all. But in the Middle East, solutions are rare; what's needed is the best imperfect option among alternatives.

WHAT IS needed, instead, is an option based on reality, not wishful thinking: to push Hamas back. Israel's interest is to minimize attacks on its soil and citizens while limiting the cost of the response needed to achieve that goal. This can best be done by combining a more active version of current policy and the creation of a security zone in the northern Gaza Strip to push Hamas and its allies out of range.

How about a final solution.

#1  I think Mossad should slip some rockets to the Pals, rockets designed to blow up on launch. Then spread rumeors the source was trying to kill off the leadership of Hamas for whatever reason. Then watch the show.

Either that or buy a few C-130 gunships and have them flying constantly and rain down hell instantly upon any site that launches a rocket into Israel. If you're using the 30 mm cannon (or whatever) the untrained eye may just assume it was a missle launch accident.
