Bullshit. EVERY woman in Isreal can handle an Uzi. Universal service sees to that.

Know many women that can bench 350 or curl even 150? Know many women that can leg press half a ton? As a whole, women are far less strong than men - and therefore less able to overpower attackers.

Damn right, I'm serious. By the time a kid (on either side) can walk and talk, they've been taught to hate and how to throw rocks or worse.

Not true. Many kids are this way, but it's hardly correct to make blanket statements. And there's hardly anything that some TLC couldn't correct.

So "generally speaking" collaterals don't matter. Methinks I detect some bias here. I firmly believe there are worse things you can do to a person than killing them, therefore body count isn't the best measure of good and evil. Or bad and less bad.

Collaterals <b>do</b> matter, but again, what is worse - shooting a girl in the face, or accidentally shooting a girl in the face? The outcome is the same and cannot be disputed, but one is an inherently wrong act whereas the other is a pretty serious fuckup.

The sides have to be separated, and kept separate for a long, long time.

I wholly disagree. If anything, I think they need to be forced to live with each other. About ten years ago there was a program to bring Israeli and Palestinian youth together. What came out of it? A bunch of kids that loved hanging out with each other. They all eventually grew apart, and in the separation, became alienated. When they were brought back together this last year, the conversations were less than friendly. There are Israelis that are friends with Palestinians and vice versa, and they are the ones setting a good example. Separating the two only increases their ability to see the other side as less than human.
Your pseudo-solutions are typical of someone who does not understand the problem. I suggest you pick up some books on psychology and stop looking for easy answers to hard questions.
