In the UK we have lived with the IRA for years. We haven't found that the answer to this is military action. Quite the opposite in fact.

A more complete history will give you more complete information. I posted a rather general history of israel that explains some of israels reactive nature - imo they are entitled to be reactive. The israelis have lived with the kind of terrorism we experienced here in the US on 9/11 for many many years.
