[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Maybe I am being a bit too stupid about this. But I really think that anyone expecting that shooting some missiles at Palestinian terrority will do anything constructive is wrong. Israel has one of the most renowned intelligence agencies of all time ... why can't Mossad track down who is behind the attacks and send an spec-ops team to capture them? At the same time, in one of the links I posted, we all found out that one of the reasons for Hamas' popularity is because it is "...its large-scale welfare arm. Hamas provides educational, medical and other desperately needed welfare services in impoverished West Bank and Gaza towns and refugee camps, creating a marked contrast with the image of corruption and cronyism most Palestinians have of Arafat's administration." (And people are surprised Arafat doesn't have any say). It seems to me, that a better security net for the future for Israel would be to provide these services, either directly or through another party (Arafat?) who is willing to work with peace. It may not immediatly stop the violence, but I think it would go a long way to bringing peace. As it is now, a Palestinian goes into Israel and blows himself up. In response, the Israelis shoot some missiles into Palestine, and some bereaved family members of those killed in the missile strikes strap themselves up with dynamite and so on, and so on, and so on ... (And, yes, Rob, I did mention the Palestinian post-'94, although I did only list him as one, since I wasn't counting number of attacks, only people ... <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" /> ) (Then again, I'm also curious when Bin Laden blows a hole in the USS [i]Cole[/i], we call him a terrorist, but we don't call the Israelis terrorists when they bomb the USS [i]Liberty[/i].)
