Sorry but the daily humiliation of ordinary Palestinians is the first thing that needs to stop. Until that happens there's a ready-made rationale for the extremists to launch their rockets.

But don't start with this "Palestinian land" nonsense. There was no such thing as Palestinian land when Jordan annexed the west bank and Egypt annexed Gaza in 1950.

There were people living on the land who had been there for centuries. It doesn't matter what they were called and Palestine/Palestinians wasn't some fictional creation of the residents. The term for the land had existed in one form or another for over 3,000 years. It's just that the Hebrews never used it.
And I've said this before. When Jordan annexed the West Bank all that happened was that the people living there became Jordanians. When Egypt annexed Gaza the people there wole up to find themselves Egyptian. When Israel "annexed" Palestine they stole the land and dispossessed the people, pushed them off into Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon..... into camps like
Sabra and Shatila.

No rockets, no mortars, no backpacks full of gelignite going off in Sunday markets. The terrorism didn't start until the Jews annexed the same dirt after the 67 war.

The terrorism started long before that, Ike, about 20 years before and you know it.
