10. I'll take door # "not treat the Palestinians like animals and seek a negotiated peace"

That 'tiny' country has the most powerful military within a 1000 mile radius.

Stop buildings settlements. Stop talking about "Judea and Samaria" and pretending that some words on scrolls from thousands of years ago trumps the human beings and communities there now. And become willing to allow an actual Palestinian state, not some rag-tag bantustans still possessed by the IDF.

Unfortunately we have too many "Palestinians can do no wrong" people here. Archae Jul 2014 #1

I think that you have to take away weapons away from people using them against you Bonobo Jul 2014 #4

So it's an issue of proximity for you Cali_Democrat Jul 2014 #14

A free Palestine is off the table? evlbstrd Jul 2014 #3

No, it is NOT off the table. I am all for it. Bonobo Jul 2014 #5

Who said they weren't a threat? Not I. evlbstrd Jul 2014 #11

So if they are a threat, they have to be stopped. Bonobo Jul 2014 #19

Have you even listened to Netanyahu? evlbstrd Jul 2014 #28

I do not like him and neither do many Israelis. nt Bonobo Jul 2014 #33

They shouldn't keep voting for his party. nt evlbstrd Jul 2014 #38

Bushes was in charge of the US for 12 years. Bonobo Jul 2014 #44

Even if Palestinians were given a whole state... Archae Jul 2014 #8

After a thousand years of occupation... HooptieWagon Jul 2014 #15

That's no damn excuse. Archae Jul 2014 #18

The essence of your argument seems to be that the Palestinian people are just inherently Maedhros Jul 2014 #31

Wrong. Archae Jul 2014 #40

Native Americans were a bit pissed off... HooptieWagon Jul 2014 #35

That's not even an argument. evlbstrd Jul 2014 #16

Stop stealing land, maybe? klook Jul 2014 #6

A rocket is coming at you right now.... Bonobo Jul 2014 #12

They reap what they've sown. HooptieWagon Jul 2014 #22

Hey, your side's policy of "kill and oppress the Palestinians until they cry uncle" has worked geek tragedy Jul 2014 #24

Well, obviously the answer is to launch an equivalent attack klook Jul 2014 #64

Ding ding we have a winner malaise Jul 2014 #23

I agree with you my friend Aerows Jul 2014 #51

I'll take door # "not treat the Palestinians like animals and seek a negotiated peace" geek tragedy Jul 2014 #10

Wait, let me think if that will stop the rockets..... Hmm... well.... Bonobo Jul 2014 #13

Were there rockets being fired in April, May, or June? geek tragedy Jul 2014 #20

Yes, a shitload of them. Too many to cut and paste. Did you not read the link? Bonobo Jul 2014 #29

Here is the reality: the only thing that can stop the rockets is a Palestinian state on the ground. geek tragedy Jul 2014 #49

I largely agree. Bonobo Jul 2014 #53

Israel would be very smart to recommend that the UN take over Gaza. geek tragedy Jul 2014 #55

All they are doing is making excuses for Hamas. Archae Jul 2014 #26

Just keep killing then Aerows Jul 2014 #54

But the rocket attacks come when there is no killing by the Israeli side as well. Bonobo Jul 2014 #59

Like I said Aerows Jul 2014 #62

It's not difficult cpwm17 Jul 2014 #17

Exactly! Spazito Jul 2014 #27

I lay all of the current violence at the feet of Hamas MohRokTah Jul 2014 #21

Obviously, blame falls on both the IDF and Hamas as well as their respective political wings. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #30

Including blowing up kids playing on the beach? GeorgeGist Jul 2014 #34

War is war. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #39

They have two options: Meet the demands of Hamas or bomb them into submission. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #25

And your argument seems to be that the Palestinians should just sit down, shut up Maedhros Jul 2014 #36

The question by the OP was what Israel should do about the missile attacks... Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #43

Meeting Hamas' demands means another 6 million dead Jews. name not needed Jul 2014 #46

"Hamas proposes 10-year cease-fire in return for conditions being met" Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #48

Maybe they should be met... But... Bonobo Jul 2014 #50

Except Hamas is not a terrorist organization. It is both a political and military group. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #57

I say terrorist here in a very specific and accurate sense. Bonobo Jul 2014 #63

THAT is as silly as the idiots that compare Israel to Nazi Germany. nt Bonobo Jul 2014 #66

Withdraw from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and abandon the settlements, for a start? Spider Jerusalem Jul 2014 #32

Those rockets would go a lot further fired from the Golan Heights, that's for sure. Bonobo Jul 2014 #37

Who said anything about the Golan Heights? Spider Jerusalem Jul 2014 #41

Many people think they should be returned as well. nt Bonobo Jul 2014 #47

The assumption you're making is that Hamas would still attack after their demands were met... Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #45

NOT murder 1,000 civilians alcibiades_mystery Jul 2014 #42

stop occupying Palestinian land...? mike_c Jul 2014 #52

The Nazi solution to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising was a crime against humanity The Second Stone Jul 2014 #56

And there it is folks. Bonobo Jul 2014 #65

Murdering civilians is not the answer. Gaza is even smaller and they have no Iron Dome. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #61
