Israel routinely undertook such house demolitions before it signed interim peace deals with the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1993.

Sounds like they've totally given up on Oslo. And rightly so.

What was the value of that house? Was it enough to offset the $25,000 from Saddam and the $1000 from the Saudis and however much a bomber's family gets from Syria?

This has got to piss off the neighbors, too. People talking about how they want their kids to be suicide bombers may start to become unpopular.

All in all, sounds like a good policy.

It might even make family members think twice before encouraging one of the kids to become a suicide bomber..

Israel will win this war she will incur heavy losses but she will win and decisively, you may ask yourself ( how does claptrap know this? ) claptrap is plugged into the all seeing eye, the record of the future, the word of the eternal. You are saying to yourself ( another foil hatter ) but I say to you the double minded broad is your path and many are those who keep company with you. The day of the Deciever is at hand he shall rule over you for three and one half years.

Palestinians and human rights groups say destroying houses of Palestinians involved in attacks on Israelis amounts to a collective punishment"

So?

Palestinians and human rights groups say destroying houses of Palestinians involved in attacks on Israelis amounts to a collective punishment.

Yes, and about time.

Instead of getting rich at the minimal cost of selling thier children into martydom, now the parents of suicide bombers have to consider that they may end up in worse poverty than they started out with. And now the neighbors are upset, too. Bummer.

>>>> a collective punishment<<<<

This is a great phrase to describe the process. Collectively the extended family is guilty and deserves collective punishment.
