I'm a pretty smart person, well educated and as well read as I can be in
foreign policy and international politics as I can be without it being a
full-time career, but I really don't understand the policy Israel is
currently enacting to control the violence - how does bombing a police
station help the Palestinians control terrorism? How does killing their
leadership help the Palestinians to exert leadership over dissident
factions? How does continuing to use excessive force against an angry
people engender anything other than more hatred and fear, leading to
further acts of violence against the only targets they can attack and
with the only means at their disposal? Could somebody explain it to
me? Seriously, if I'm missing something, I would very much like to be
informed..
