I don't like any of these options. Although I would love to get those gits out of there, it will be a strategic faux pas at this time. It will merely further convince the Palestinians that they can get whatever they want from us, by using force. On the other hand, conquering Abu Sneina will convince the Settlers that they can whatever _they_ want of us, if they act enough like asses and attack our own military.

If you ask me, we should forcibly remove all children from that location, until it becomes safe to return them. It's all fine and dandy for the adults to be suicides, but I don't think their children should suffer.

I had thought that this was the omnipresent gag-option. Oh, dear.

The enemy's interests are of no interest to my. The interest of the State of Israel, as I see it, is not to be forced to use disproportionate forces, just to protect some fringe lunatics, which, by the way, take every opportunity to clash with said forces. Do you know that many Israeli soldiers would rather AWOL and go to military prison than continue serving in Hebron?

Absent without leave.

Forgive me for thinking of the State of Israel as some kind of collective which I am a part of.

Though I had meant what I had said as sarcasm, please reparse it as an honest apology.
