Oh, and just correcting this one bit of intellectual sewage: the Palestinians aren't "taking other people's land." That would be the Jews you are thinking of, Dharma.

And the idea that Muslims in Palestine should pay for (alleged and hypothetical) crimes in other areas is ridiculous. Should Latin American Christians pay for crimes committed by Swedish Lutherans?

Considering that the largest Jewish terrorist group is the IDF, your statement is pretty meaningless.

"As far as you know."

Well, I'm sure we can all sleep safely, assured of your expertise in such matters.

What would YOU do?
1. Put up a fucking huge inpenetrable wall on the green line.

2. Stop issuing tax breaks that encourage Israelis to settle in areas that are both (a) dangerous and (b) destined to be returned to Arabs.

3. Round up the right-wing orthodox Jewish parties and activist groups and treat them the way they deserve to be treated: as terrorist groups intent on spoiling the chances of peace.

Oh, come on now. The biggest thing I've heard of them destroying when shooting at a terrorist is a house.

Bigger areas sometimes end up destroyed in battle. When the terrorists use buildings as firing points they should expect them to be destroyed. It's pretty hard to hit the guy in the building without hitting the building.

In other words, those who are fighting but below the level of weapons.

But that requires that we rely upon Loren Pechtel's "hearing" and Loren's memory.

No one around here is willing to trust either one.

Except that isn't the case. We're talking about houses being destroyed for no reason whatsoever, except to make room for Jewish suburbs.

No.

In other words, you need to do a better job of substantiating your basic claim. "Rock throwers and the like" utterly fails to do that.

So then shoot them? Or if you kill them with a rocket, they still count as combatants?

I'm afraid I'm just totally missing what your actual argument here is.
