Your urge to kill Israelis is sickening.

Your urge to keep Palestinian victims from defending themselves is sickening.

Your use of smilies is disturbing.

In serious arguments (like with Dino) I use them sparingly. But with you...

Sorry. That was the only way I could fathom that such an action could have any use in turning back an Isreali incursion.

But what about regularly setting a few clever traps on expected Israeli paths of advance?

I still see two problems with this approach.

1) Isreal has gunships.
2) How would you deal with the problem that Isreal's usual points of access are mainly public roads? Unintended Palestinian casualties could hurt Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc. in recruiting.

I see. I didn´t mean to turn them back entirely; just to up the price for the incursion. I think the basic point in guerilla warfare is making the war costly for the attacker.

Sure; I didn´t mean I have the universal tactical solution for Arafat. But you can´t take ground with gunships. Hampering Israeli ground troops would at least help.

How about 'danger' signs? You will say that beats the purpose. Not really. Such danger signs would be helpful in complicating Israeli operations even where there are no actual mines.

My idea is really simply about making things more complicated for Sharon. I think that the Palestinians are not yet creative enough in that department. They should create more friction for their opponents.

I should say that I am far from pleased by more violence from either side. My earlier comment was sarcastic.

I see, AH. But if the Palestinians are not winning, they will never get a decent deal. When Rabin proposed one, a Zionist murdered him.

When will you realize that

a) it is impossible for the Palestinians to win militarily, and
b) they don't want a deal, they want no more Israel.

Never say impossible.

and

If they didn´t want Rabin´s deal, why did he need to be killed by an Israeli?

The Israeli also didn't want Rabin's deal.
And I do say impossible. Because as soon as they start winning, public opinion will switch.

Zionists sure didn´t want Rabin´s deal. They expressed that in their usual unmisunderstandable way by murdering him.

Let´s say the outcry among Zionists was limited.

I meant the outcry about Rabin´s murder. Perhaps more than one person in Israel deplored the act, but seemingly not too many.
