Because I think that you have so deeply misread the motivations and intentions behind this conflict that I was unsure how to respond initially. I think you have described here what may be the single worst plan I have ever read out of an endless stream of awful, misinformed proposals. Seriously, I think this idea is guaranteed to do nothing other than initiate a huge increase of attacks on Israel, fortify the munitions and ability of terrorists to wage war while simutaneously erasing most of the hard won defenses that Israel posseses.

What makes you think that this plan would dramatically improve matters? I'm serious, I want to know if it is something you just know in your heart or if you have evidence that supports it or it just makes sense to you, or whatever.

I also find it a little callous that you think the risks are worthwhile because they do not include Israel's wholesale destruction. The risks to Israel's citizens are very real. Remember, Hamas is not aiming for Israel's destruction. It isn't their goal. Their goal is to massacre as many civilians as possible. I am not interested in a plan that exposes my family to such an expanded risk for nothing in return at all, (other than fulfilling your requirements for Israel to finally justify defending itself.)
