Just like when the US Government sent in the Cavalry with guns to "protect us" from the bloodthirsty savages with bows and arrows.
My God, will we never learn? As always, "Might makes Right", the rest be damned!

(733 posts)All discussions of the Israeli/Palestinian relations should start with this mantra.
A. Accept the fact that the Palestinians are not going away.
B. Ideas don't die. Israel is implementing a solution based on violent removal of individuals, not the causes for the extremism.
So plan on a forever occupation.
C. You can't negotiate with a non-existent country or an adversary that has no power.
Provide the basis for Palestinians to actually build a society. People are known to become less extreme if they have safety, food, shelter.
D. "If you want peace, work for justice" (Pope Paul VI).
