#1 You mean your sympathy meter actually had an input channel for the "Palestinians"?

Once upon a time.

#3 Here's my solution: Two years of restraint on Israel's part. No retaliation, no reprisals, nothing. Then go apeshit on Gaza (because there's no way the Palestinians will follow suit and restrain themselves for two years, that's a given). No excuses that way, and no apologies.

#4 Dunno why, mebbe it's one of those history lesson thingys, but I think it will only end when one side is totally wiped out. No reason I can see since 1948 to think otherwise. But that's just me.

#5 Hate to do this, but I agree with com. I see the mask completely unveiled with Syria and Iran, and their minions in PaleoLand and Lebanon.

In short, their cruisin' for a serious brusin'

#8 The only good Palestinian is a dead Palistinian.

#9 How come I have this feeling in my guts and a faint wisper in my ears going so: "The shite is going to hit the fan very very soon......??

Could it be the smug look upon Abu Maazen's face ?
or the bloody visions of the Hadera bombed market on TV ?

or maybe it's just the "Beauty of our Weapons" syndrom ?

I am sick and tired of the Pali's and I hope the velvet gloves are going to come off soon !

#10 Two thousand pounders in the largest mosque during Friday prayers for each bombing. Oh, and extend the fence outward each time.

#11 And none of this wasting missiles on empty fields crap. It's as stupid as targeting cruise missiles at empty palaces when the US had to occupy them later anyway. Time to think like the Palis and target the densest gatherings of those homicidal lemmings.

#12 Ed,
you really nailed us down on this.
It seems the bombing of empty field crap number used by Mofaz and Sharon (for internal political reasons)is kind of growing stale.
If I were Abu Maazen I would buy a good insurance policy (including a generous "act of hostility" indemnification clause).
Its high time to give the Palestinian stables a very thorough cleaning.
I hope we go really aggressive on them soon.

#13 Somehow we need to get the Palestinians out of the West Bank as we don't want to destroy valuable resources. I like the idea of taking an acre of land away or maybe deport them to Gaza. Build a lead fence and it would only take one nuke.

#14 The West Bank has valuable resources? Who knew?

#15 .com is right. But his solution is too close to being the final one. That's why Israel will never adopt it.

I still like the idea of buying Baja California from Mexico, about the same size and the same climate as Israel. Bring 'em all over and give them $50,000 per person. Let them decide if they want to be an independent country, 51st state, or part of Mexico. Let the Paleos seeth.

The only other alternative is continued war till the Paleo population bomb takes effect.

#17 ed, I trust you were referring to Israeli retaliation strategy and not my own cluster bomb suggestion. Sowing small minefields over every launch point would certainly send a strong message to the Palestinians. Even if it were not minefields but merely some truly vicious non-ferrous caltrops that would deflate tractor tires and lacerate feet or livestock hooves, the results would still be acceptable.

I don't see much argument over steering the fence, so I'll leave that one where it stands.

#18 Zen,
I was referring to the Israeli tactic of firing expensive missiles into empty fields. Might as well as take $100,000 and set it on fire. As for scattering mines, I am against it. The opposition will disarm the mines and use them against the Israelis.

#19 Good points, ed, I'll go with the caltrops then. Either that or simply salt the earth with herbicides or whatnot. There must be some sort of punitive measure.

Killing non-combatants isn't the best solution. However, since a majority of Palestinians support the aims of Hamas and al Aqsa, I'm beginning to think that there are no Palestinian non-combatants. Much like the way they regard the Israeli population.

#20 On sending the Palestinians to Mexico -

What have you got against the Mexicans ?
