sorry, the thread ran ahead of me!!! Anyway, tooo late to fix now. Just read the link, please and comment.
It is a classic military-political dilemma. The progress in stopping suicide bombers, the vast majority of whom cross into Israel from the West Bank, has brought enough quiet for Israel to resume peace talks with the Palestinian leadership there.
But the current calm is fragile, and to maintain it Israeli security officials say they must continue their nightly arrests and sometimes deadly raids in the heart of the West Bank — tactics at odds with a peace effort that envisions a separate Palestinian state, an eventual Israeli withdrawal from much of the West Bank and, in the meantime, a gradual transfer of authority to the Palestinian police.

Oh, you must mean these terrorists.

The successful upwardly mobile terrorist wears expensive suits and nice shoes has a driver and works in a bank or somewhere in the speculative financial market, the ruffians at the street level are not even in the main part of the game. You can easily do a village with a stroke of the pen or a phone call, why get dirty that's for the underclass who can be persuaded to engage even tanks with the right motivation.

Israel’s Tactics Thwart Attacks, With Trade-Off
That is a totally phony tactic!!! I think the military is so used to doing these nightly raids, they don't want to stop!

That is just silly!
Did you miss the part that said suicide bombings had dropped from 59 in a year to ONE in a year?
Israel has the right to defend itself. Obviously, they are doing a good job.

Have you ever been driven to that point of despondency where putting on the dymamite vest to take as many of the bas*ards out with you as you can seems like a justifiable action? Perhaps suicide bombings have dropped because some of the candidates are getting breaths of hope....
Woof!

Interesting reading materials
-sites are new to me thanks
Decades ago I saw a Chinese film>> two cages attached with a sparrow in each one, one being well fed the other starved, the adjoining door is opened and the starved bird attacks the well fed and is killed.
Fata<>Hamas Israelis <> Palestinians---
If the USA were to give Palestinians $10,000,000,000 as they do to Israel, would there be peace?

Not many Louis Riels around,

Clarify? Are they seeing hope or being "strategically eliminated" ... or are they not being driven to despondency or out?
Woof!

But Colpy, Israel wants peace!!! So they should be happy the Palestinians are holding themselves back, because they also want peace.

Apathy can only come from someone who knows all the facts and then purposely chooses to ignore those facts either through in-action or through silence.
Quote has been trimmed, See full post:
The very day the Gospel was taken to the Gentiles the special relationship God had with Israel came to a screeching halt. The whole purpose of having a "His people" was finished for the moment, that moment has not passed it is still very much in effect. Now that the God part is covered you still need to know the dynamics of why such a small actual number of people can and do have such an influential voice in matters over and above much larger numbers of people. Canada can be used as an example, a very small example. Taking only the immigration aspect into account Canada is more or less a collection of people from many Nations. The members of those Nations did not disperse throughout Canada when they arrived, they tended to settle in groups, more or less. Since time is a factor that cannot be ignored those that arrived first and in the greatest numbers more or less set the tone for the way things would be run, usually based on the very model of the way things were run back in their respective nations.
Today there has been a small integration so those various different Nationalities operate with an increased co-operation, but only to a certain extent. If a new immigrant hated a certain Nation back in the 'old country' that very same attitude is with them when they settle in Canada. Time is the only way...

Exactly.
I do not argue that Jewish influence far outpaces their numbers........only 13 million Jews on earth.
and yes, in Europe before the Holocaust, Jews were by far disproportionally represented in the intellectual class, professors, teachers doctors, and as entrepreneurs.
It is, as your source says , a survival strategy among the most persecuted people on the face of the earth........
So what?
Are we envious of their ability to focus on education? On achievement?
What is the point?
if jews have influence, they EARNED it!
