Killing their leaders won't help. All it does is puts in a new, probably even more violent, replacement and makes the Palestinians more angry! Seriously, I think that Israel is more in the right, and that they have the right to defend themselves, but they are NOT helping calm the situation. It takes two sides to make peace and in this case neither side's leadership wants it. Sharon isn't exactly a peacemaker.

But what can be done? In this case I don't see anything. Neither side wants peace. The Palestinians have demands that can't be met (people pushed out of Israel be given back their lands), and the Arabs have made it so the Palestinians would not be integrated (as in they have not tried to mix the Palestinians into their own peoples -- they keep them in camps, in poverty, which naturally become hotbeds for anti-Israel terrorists... the Arab nations around Israel don't want peace either or they'd recognize that these people will be there forever and would integrate them. (summation: yes the Palestinians are suceptible to becoming terrorists, but it's at least as much the faults of Egypt (to a lesser extent, for some time now), Jordan, Syria, Lebanon...

But Israel has unreasonable demands too... they simply cannot keep so many settlements well inside what is now seen as Palestinian territory! And this wall is a flashpoint issue as well...

Oh, Weltall... you show one of the more interesting things of recent history: far right American Christians are the Jews' best friends. In any other time before this it's that group that would be the most virulently anti-Jewish...
