#2 G(r)omgoru, would you write a little bit about who is doing this and what impact they are having? The periwinkle paragraph above is the sum total of my knowledge on the subject. Thank you.

#3 We don't know who is doing this---otherwise they'd be in jail. People, not necessarily "settlers", who had enough---I'd guess.

#4 I disagree with this, from a tactical point of view. I call it the "dog-coyote" theory.

Dogs almost always fight to establish dominance, and though their brawls can cause serious injury to each other, their *intent* is to establish who is superior and who is inferior.

Coyotes, on the other hand, only fight to kill, most often for food. They do not fight for dominance.

So, when dogs and coyotes fight, even if the dog is larger and a better fighter, the coyote will usually win, because it uses no restraint at all, but intends to kill.

Importantly, humans can adopt either mode, but with the same result. The Paleos endlessly say that they want to kill all the Jews and destroy Israel; but the Israelis only fight to establish dominance, and can't get it through their head that this is not a slap-fight.

The only reason a LOT more Jews aren't dying is because they are particularly good fighters, and well equipped with the technology for fighting. But both of these things are fleeting, and eventually the Paleos will either figure out how to fight better, or smuggle in the technology they need to kill.

And then LOTS of Jews will die, and Paleos will never, ever, give Jews any quarter, because as they keep saying, endlessly, they want to kill all the Jews and destroy Israel.

Seriously, how many wars by Arabs trying to destroy Israel does it take before the Jews finally get it through their head that this is a fight to the death?

Even on the small scale, burning a car is just a slap that means nothing. Burning a person means something.

#6 Good Comparison Anymoose.

Same could be said of Islam and the West.

#7 Part of the problem is we keep perpetuating the myth of the moderate Muslim.

#8 Probably not a new phenomenon. I remember seeing a documentary in which a Sabra described the olden days (paraphrased): "We used to sometimes get hit from the Arab villages. So we would hit them back, but always a little bit harder!"
