Hrm. Maybe if most ordinary citizens were suicide bombers, your argument would look less than retarded.
If you read the article, you would have caught the bit where he talks about placating the Palestinians. And you would have remembered that he said that even 100 or 200 people intent on killing themselves (and taking Israeli citizens with them) would still be enough to wreak major havoc. And if you had looked at other stats, you would realize this to be true, as there have been exactly <b>20</b> suicide bombings this year - 2002 - and look what they've done.
Then you would realize that placating the Palestinians does nothing to stop Hamas and Islamic Jihad, seeing as they vigorously oppose the idea of Israel having a right to exist.
Then you would understand why Israel <b>must</b> crack down on militants.
Please read the article thoroughly before posting again. It really truly does make sense.
