When the Israelis, for instance, were killing 25 Palestinians for every Israeli lost, the Israelis were bulldozing the houses of innocent civilians. Every time they did that they created more enemys, by the way.

The Palestinians launched suicide bombers, and the loss ratio went to 3 to one.

Now, tell me it "works". Tell me how it "works". Where do you get the idea it "works"?

If an army has been fighting a war against an unarmed (no armor, no artillery, no air) for 40 years, and is still in the same fight, tell me what is "working".

And, if you kick and kick and kick an opponent when they are down, and don't kill them, what do you think will happen when they stand up?

What would you do? Bow, nod, smile, and let 'em hit you again? You might, there are some people with no spirit, no guts, no whatever.

Tell me what the hell anyone is doing over there that "works". It's in your subject line, I'm assuming you're thinking you have the answer.
