A bankrupt policy

Must be one of those really egalitarian orgs, like Al Qaeda, which as we have all noticed the last few years, is composed entirely of "9-11 masterminds."

they have no idea who the hell they are killing and just picking targets at random to try and make it seem like they have a clue what to do.

The whole thing about Arafat is a form of denial. It all
stinks of denial and paranoia and disfunction. Like if Arafat
is killed, it will somehow be fine. I have the feeling that if
it is admitted that Arafat is just a stooge, then they must
also admit the failure of the current policy, that is why all
the fuss over Arafat. They have to admit all those people on
both sides died for nothing. Getting rid of him is the big hope.
This shows up in the delusion that if only Arafat had let him,
Abbas could have cleaned up the terror networks, even though he
had nothing to do that with.

Or maybe Sharon just doesn't want to leave his old enemy behind
him when he falls.

It's like Pooty-Poot and his phoney election in Chechnya, things
will be settling down real-soon now ...

that killing one terrorist will end terrorism

that killing a bunch of terrorists will end terrorism.

Caving to terrorists will bring peace to the region.

when it gives money to the Israeli army - do you have a problem with this?

not acting like scum in the first place before some "terrorist" decides to smack you in the face for it, but since it's a wee bit late for that you should at least have the good grace to quit acting like a villian while you fight the guy.

Are they sequentially killing those who take over as head? Or do they have no inkling of who the head really is? Or do they know but playing for sound bites whenever they kill someone fairly high up? Does it matter?

What defense do you offer for the hamas murder of Jewish children?

at the loss of innocent life, and explain that their intelligence indicated that a top level IDF official was in the area, planning an attack on Gaza, and emphasizing that they make every effort to avoid civilian casualties.

Why don't you zoom them an email and suggest that?

If you can sound sincere, that is. Hamas suicide bombers are groomed for the job, and given glory before death in the claims they make about going to heaven and living with dozens of virgins. They glory in the dead and show the bomber pictured in his glory next to the dead Israelis. It's like a trophy. You, with your commitment to human rights and the GC, might at least expain that the rest of the world doesn't see it that way.

And just think, if Hamas had Apache choppers, they wouldn't have to send humanbombers to the bus stop - they could fire missiles into the crowded street like a civilized country.

an opportunity to miss an opportunity. No doubt. The cards are stacked against them. There must be a G-d in heaven.

the IDF was disappearing Palestinians way before there ever was a suicide bomber so I really don't think it has anything to do with Israel's policies.

It seems you have a point. Can you back that up with factual documents from universally accepted sources?

ws of the Islamic Jihad head in the Hebron area. Maybe the Hamas heads have run out.
