Israel must be very careful in its response to the current Palestinian initiative. Israel holds immense and overpowering military assets to deal with this but they must be used in measure and as required. To launch an all-out, no-holds-barred offensive (as the current center-right government is likely to do) could lead to atrocities and accusations of genocide. In this digital age it would only take a few horrifying pictures of innocents caught in the carnage going viral for world opinion to turn against Israel. I have no dog in this fight but this fight could easily spin out of control and pull the entire world into flames if cooler heads do not prevail.

They really need a 1 mile no mans land with 40 foot wall. there is no reconcilation that will ever happen with these people.
Even with a wall in another fifty years, with a new generation of hatred, there will be another war. Glass factories would be a great deterent to all these mindless wars. Just ask the Japanese.
True. They are the nicest people. I loved japan when i visited. Cleanest country I have ever seen and the best quality food.
Would that stop the rockets?
