Nobody is being kept in reservations, they're being kept OUT of a state that has right to fear them. Open your eyes!

Oh right. I shouldn't have said state, because everything established and all the people trying to live their lives there are FAKE

In any event the wall is much needed and should be expanded even more. Plus the IDF should guard the wall 24/7 and have ground motion sensors installed so tunneling activity can be discovered before the Arab murders can complete the tunnels. The US Army has done this alone the Korean DMZ and it has been effective.

Ideally I'd like to see two walls which are 50 feet apart and a mine field in between the two walls just in case some Arab terrorist gets over the first wall.

Wow, Zylka has become a supporter of the state of Israel. It is amazing what love can do.

An assasination in Gaza. The target is the Hamas spokesman Mahmud a-Zahar.

Ethnic cleansing (and that's what is going on) can be a part of the solution, but not the solution itself. Give the Palestinians their ****ing own state, tear down the israeli settlements and then establish a harsh border control should be the plan. Not ghettoizing them now and maybe in ten years negotiating about their demands. That won't make peace.

On a sidenote: I have nothing against the assassinations of Hamas leaders. Although it's against democratic principles to execute somebody without a sentence, but these people are murderers.

The Palestinians should have their own state. It's called Jordan.

This does seem to be the cycle. It appears that the Arabs will never really ccept Israel and it is certain that Israel will never go away. A low grade war without end...what a horrible way to live for both sides.

Perhaps one day the Palestinian people will wake up to the fact that their leadership continues to squander their future in a useless attempt to drive Israel from the ME. If not, one day an Israeli leader will determine that it is worth the cost to destroy the regimes that make the terrorist viable threats.

I've recently been wondering why this conflict is such a big deal. I mean, a month in Israel/Palestine is equivalent to an hour in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Solving the war there is a thousand times more important than wasting time on the Middle East.

Actually the IDF has tried on numerous occasions to arrest them. They have a nasty tendency to kill IDF when that happens though.

Now if the PA would seriously begin to arrest these people, then IDF wouldnt have to kill them.

Can somebody explain to me how the first attack was terrorist? All but one of the killed/injured were soldiers, and were legitimate military targets...

I can't wait to see Israel's reaction. And then the Palestinian reaction. And then Israel's reaction...

I've given up all hope that anybody in the region has any sense whatsoever.
