Don't tell us what restricts Israel - tell us what it should do to get rid of the threat by Palestinian terror.

Simple truth is - you don't like what is going on right now. Same for me. But you do not have a realistic alternative to offer that goes beyond the heart-warming daydreaming of the UN and the EU and that could work not only in dreams, but in the grim world that we have. The only world.

Well I'm sure if Scandium (or anyone else for that matter) had the 'final solution' -perhaps a bad turn of prase there I shall rephrase - or the ultimate answer to all of the troubles in the ME/Israel/Palestine etc then he wouldn't be sitting here endlessly debating the issue with you lot.
Imho I think punnishing the majority for the misdeeds of the apparent few is a totaly BS way to achieve a peaceful resolution the the current debacle - that's all well and good when attempting to control an unruly classroom full of kids hehe, but in that instance nobody is going to get blown up by a 5oolb laser guided bomb, are they?

hello, pot? this is kettle...

Pffft, asside from bludgeoning civillians with artillery and air to ground missiles and bombs, and breaking international law prohibiting the targeting of essential civillian infrastructure and carrying out the threat to turn the clock back 20 years in Lebanon, what is the IDF doing right?
Sadly I have no more idea on how to realistically solve the problem which has been festering away over there for decades and longer, than any of the rest of you people. Does that mean I should just forget about it, sweep it under the carpet away from consideration and the light of day? Resign the issue to parriah status only worthy only of distain and ridicule should anybody see fit to instigate discussion, regardless of merrit? No.

The article itself (at least to me) did not seem overly pedantic or selfrightious; unlike some of the posts appearing here :rotfl:
