Reply #3: And I don't disagree that the status quo goes nowhere [View All]

but people trying to protect their lives isn't foolish. Only people who aren't Israelis can say that.

Terrorists have taken every possible opportunity, from bombing border crossings that are delivering THEIR humanitarian aid, to kill or terrorize Israelis.
No matter what Israeils have done, they have been terrorized for decades. Whether they respond or don't respond, they get rockets, bombers, etc. Only walls and checkpoints have stopped these things. And some kind of broader incursion in Gaza may be in the offing, because 100s of rockets a week, landing on people's houses, isn't acceptable as status quo either.

Doing nothing doens't work either. Ignoring the rockets just meant more came. I don't know what you think the solution is.
