#1 You weaken them like you weaken the terrorists in Iraq. The same methodology that Israel has used for years. We can start by exchanging IFF codes for the airspace over the West Bank and Iran.

#2 "..as the political process is already blocked by the Israeli occupation.."

Occupation, occupation, occupation. That's all these assholes ever obsess about.

Quite simply, there's no point in devoting any further efforts on the part of the Paleos. It's high time for them to either sink or swin on their own.

#3 One way to "actively weaken" Hamas is to make d@mn sure that we don't backtrack on withholding the money we said we would. Not a plug nickle for these bloodsuckers.

#4 “Money should not only continue to flow but even to increase, so long as it does not end up in Hamas’s hands.”
We've got plenty of people here in the U.S. who could use that aid and would be grateful for it and productive with it. Support democracy and natural selection: let the Palestinians live with their choices.

#5 "..as the political process is already blocked by the Israeli occupation.."

"Occupation, occupation, occupation."

#8 Occupation?

I wonder if a valid census has ever been done of who really is now in the West Bank. With all the settlements and the like in the last thirty years, can anyone say with certainty that the Israelis may not be in fact the bigger part of the population. With Gaza out of the picture, just who then is the occupier on the West Bank?

#9 "Occupation, occupation, occupation"

yup. but only because paleos have committed to destroy, destroy, destroy Israel.

If they wanted to live in peace, Israel would be out, out, out.

#10 I wonder if a valid census has ever been done of who really is now in the West Bank.

I posted a link on just that question recently on p.4, if you want to go look for it. To sum up, the population numbers listed by the Palestinian Authority are high by at least 1 million (lots of double and triple counting), the Palestinian birth rate is only 3.something (PA women love their educations and their birth control pills), the Israeli birth rate is 2.something because the non-Euro Jews have lots of babies, and supposedly the Jewish population in Israel plus the West Bank is 67% of the total. Also, lots of quiet emigration of Palestinians from the PA as there appears to be no end to the chaos and violence under successive "governments."
