It's not stopping

The third intifadah as it is being called is continuing unabated.
It is not stopping and not expected to stop.
Some including the Israeli prime minister had said that he believed that it would die down on its own.
That was said over a month ago and it has not.
It's not stopping and no one is doing much in this regard.
There has been a beefing up of police and army in certain areas and preemptive arrests to try to mitigate but that's it.
Real measures to battle this mini-war are not being used.
Here are some steps that should be taken.
Whether captured dead or alive the entire extended family should be deported. If there is clear evidence that the family knew of the atrocity that was to be committed.
House demolished of attacker within 24 hours.
All legal proceedings should not take more than 24 hours.
A new settlement built in every place a murder occurred.
This should start as the houses of the terrorists are destroyed.
Parts of Judea and Samaria should be declared Israeli territory. The Gush Eztion bloc should enter a five year annexation plan that would lead to complete annexation to Israel.
Arabs not involved in terror should be granted citizenship if they want it during this five year period.
Those who do not want this will be granted residency status.
The two state solution should be officially discarded. All these steps will stop the violence but it won't happen tomorrow.

WW3

If this isn't war then I am not sure what is.
Russian plane being blown up and Paris being attacked with hundreds of dead and wounded.
The French may have not awakened completely to this new reality.
They have a history of defeatism and lack of resolve that dates back to WW2. They do not want French soldiers dying in Iraq but they seem to have little choice now.
The west should have been planning the destruction of Isis long ago and now they have shocked the world.
Terror aims to paralyze and debilitate people.
If people in Paris are afraid to sit outside in Cafes then the Terror has won.
Those who refuse to put their soldiers in danger will find the terror on their doorstep, with fatal consequences.
The French who were humiliated by the Germans in WW2 are being humiliated by Isis in WW3.
Running away from terror and aggression never works.
It needs to be confronted and destroyed.
There is no other way

The winds of War

It is unclear where the latest knife intifada as it has been called is leading.
There have been many attempts to destroy Israel over the last 67 years and they have taken different forms.
This latest round has seen knife attacks and other low tech methods.
These methods are very effective in causing big headlines but less is causing any major change on the ground.
It seems the Arab side has spent all its options in its attempt to shake Israel into concessions.
This may be a prelude to the shutdown of the Palestinian authority and the chaos that may follow.
Nobody really knows.
Very hard to say how this all plays out. Won't be pretty.
