"For too long the Palestinians have been protected from the natural consequences of their own brutality and bloody-mindedness, allowed by the Western world to make war while pretending at peace. This has only infantilized them, shielding them from the rightful consequences of their actions, encouraging them to become more vicious.
At some point there has to be a war to resolve this, a real war, with the other side fighting back. And one side needs to be decimated and humilated. That's how peace is made. Only when people truly feel the horrors of war are they willing to give it up."
This conclusion is offered by a blog that confirms what I have felt for some time. The terrorists in Gaza announced today that they shot a rocket tipped with a chemical warhead into Israel. It is doubtful that this is true, but the consequences of actually firing one intended to kill civilians in Israel would be profound enough to actually bring an end to the conflict in that region.
