If israel were smart they would follow the british example in NI, which was to flood the place with social benefits, well paid jobs, and bought off the psychopathic scum who led the 'struggle' on both sides with government jobs, and a get out of jail free card.The psychopathic scum dealt with their own extremists with a bullet to the head and being buried somewhere.Theres a reason why the scots,and northern irish got more money spent on them per head ,than the english do. It's to keep them sweet. Even our most conservative Prime minister knew that if she used IDF tactics we would have suicide bombers as well, because we had fanatics on both sides. If she had wanted to,she could have wiped out the psychopathic scum on both sides, within just 12 hours using, special forces who knew exactly who they were and where they lived, as the IRA and the loyalist groups had been infiltrated by british intelligence, the IRA's chief torturer was in fact a British spy!. But it wouldn't solve it long term, and world opinion would never have stood for it.
All Israel are doing are creating more and more fanatics, and deepening the historical wounds even more. Hamas are scum , but Israel needs to be the bigger entity here, and realise that innocent people are caught up in this, I also thought it would have been better to have given the jews a small part of germany after WW2, Iam certain the germans, guilt ridden as they still arewould have accepted it much more and they were the people responsible for that crime , But we are where we are, and the answer is hearts and minds, ,spend a bit less on weaponry and more on buying off the affections of the pallys, over time ,show HAMAS for what they are. And maybe in the dead of night, a few killings of certain indviduals who will not accept peace. There are also israeil politicians and others who behave like nazis, as do some of the HAMAS leadership, they need to me removed. It took decades though for the british to achieve what they did with the help of the irish government and the americans, it isn't a quick solution,but the only one.
