| You show the same lack of understanding as Barak. Surely the evidence shows that the only way to end terrorist attacks finally and absolutely is to change the social, economic and political conditions that fuel anger and frustration. Walls may work for a while, weapons may help in the short-term but only a profound change in all our hearts will really end this violence. After all, these terrorist attacks are the manifestations of an underlying sickness that afflicts us all - like boils that appear on a body. You can apply all the creams you like and lance all the boils but, sooner or later, you have to accept that there is a sickness in the body producing such boils and deal with that. This sickness belongs to us Israelis and it goes back a hundred years at least. It is a sickness of ideology - of the belief that you can create peace, happiness and security at the expense of others. |
