The only solution for Palestine

[dudeness]

Even if Ariel Sharon's men do succeed in eliminating the entire Hamas leadership, the suicide bombings and rocket attacks on Israel will continue and perhaps intensify. No doubt the classic texts of counter-insurgency advise that resistance is best crushed by eliminating its leaders. But the textbooks do not consider the despair of an entire people suffering under an occupation which makes itself tangible daily - through security fences, checkpoints, ditches and sensors, alongside seizures of water supplies, olive groves and grazing land - and which makes not the smallest effort to buy off a section of the occupied population. Nor do the textbooks consider a resistance movement that minimises its logistic and organisational problems by using the bodies of its soldiers as its chief explosive weapon.
