Eliminating Palestinian Terror Attacks: Do we spray the ants or eradicate the nest?

By Dan Calic

In light of the horrific attack in Tel Aviv where 4 Israeli civilians were murdered by Arab terrorists dressed in suits, we find ourselves in yet another quagmire. The issue is how to respond.   Prime Minister Netanyahu says “we will attack those who attacked us….” Exactly what does that mean Mr. Prime Minister? Is Israel going to launch a targeted strike on Hamas operatives in Gaza or Judea/Samaria?   What will that accomplish? Indeed, it may take out some Arab terrorists, but what will it accomplish in the end? Will it prevent future attacks from taking place? Will it deter leadership from promoting jihad against Israeli Jews? Will it foster a better environment for peace?

Killing Arab terrorists is the equivalent of spraying a trail of ants with pesticide. It only eliminates the ones you see. In order to stop more of them from coming, one must go all the way to the nest and root it out completely.   Other suggestions include halting the influx of Arabs for Ramadan. I find no problem with refusing to allow thousands more Muslims into Israel, which can only increase the chances of more violence....... Read more

My Take - I think the author is correct in that it will take a change of mentality, education and moral imparatives, but, it clear he's delusional because that's not going to happen as long as Islam is allowed to exist.  What he's proposing is serious reform of Islam, and that's not going to happen either.  If Islam is "reformed" it isn't Islam....and Islamic leaders will never tolerate that. Violence is central to Islam practices and teaching.   The problem is Islam - get over it!
