Israel is indeed under criticism.
But the criticism is not our biggest problem.
Our biggest problem is how to deter suicide bombers from fulfilling their murder campaigns.
How can you deter a person who is brainwashed, incited, thinks he's doing a noble thing, persuaded that 72 virgins are waiting for him in heaven and knowing that he's helping his familiy ?
He's helping his family because Saddam Hussein is paying 25,000$ to the family of each suicide bomber !!!
How can you deter such a person ?
You obviously can't threat him with long prison sentences, after all, he's willing to die - right ?
Well, actually there is one thing that has not been tested yet.
Will a suicide bomber go out to his murder campaign knowing that if he does, his home will be demolished and his family will be deported ?
Actually I don't have the answer for that, I simply don't know but I'm willing to test it for a couple of months.
I prefer to face criticism from other countries for certain tactics that we use over attending some of my loved one's funerals that happened because we were not doing anything in our power to stop these unnecessary deaths.
