#2 This might work. I'd make it about 20 miles deep, though.

#3 I was thinking the same Jackal. Extend to within 300 meters from the waters edge.

#4 Yes..300 metres on the watery side of the edge.

#5 I just checked a map and it looks like a buffer zone about 6 miles wide, extending SE from the water's edge, should just about do it.

#7 Now they are thinking. 300 meters is a OK start they should just make the statement that it will continue to be expanded 300meters at a time deeper and deeper until the rockets STOP. At some point there will either be no more rockets, or no more paleo's in Gaza to fire rockets.

The Paleo's wont compromise becuase they think they have hit bottom and cannot be hurt any worse. The Isrealis need to make the Paleo's understand they can lose what little they have left ALSO. Once they understand they can lose all the Paleo's will be ready to accept a compromise.

#8 Remember to box off the paleos in the low spot so the sewage problem can be used to remind them who is in control.

#9 Time to erase Phakestan and send them all packing to "Jordan" and Egypt.

#10 Ghazi Hamad, spokesman for Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, called the proposal a "dangerous idea." "It will cause more confrontations. It won't provide stability," he said.

Which, in realspeak, means it will reduce confrontations and increase stability. Israel needs to turn a deaf ear to world opinion and flush out Gaza and the West Bank. Let these vicious thugs find homes elsewhere. There will never be any peace so long as the Palestinians exist.
