No. We need to adapt a policy of scheduled maintenance. Nuke the place every five years to keep things “hot”.

How does Israel deal with and prevent domestic terrorism?

First Muslim that shoots up a shopping mall will ignite hatred and distrust to any Muslim living in the United States regardless of the "diversity is god" crowd attempting to control thought.

Point stands, the fly paper strategy is not worth the monumental resources that are wasted.

I understand your point.

Never was a fan of the Kennebunkport Bush clan despite voting for them 4x because their political opponents were worse in certain areas.

Basically threw up with the “winning the hearts and minds” strategy and intelligence insulted with the "religion of peace" claim, despite documentation of over 1300 years of violent Islamic aggression. Islam's lust to destroy the Judea-Christian society/culture will never be quenched.

Let them kill each other with their sectarian skirmishes and if the violence spills into our area/interest, hit them as hard as possible with man, woman, and child being shown no quarter or sympathy; we should not become tools of foolish appeasement strategies.

We need to pull out, without surrender. This can be accomplished. We leave, but make sure no one else can.
They are bordered by Pakistan in the southeast, Iran in the west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the north, and China in the far northeast.
We use drones, surface to air missiles, and fighter craft and kill anything that crawls, drives, or flies leaving within 5 miles of all boarders EXCEPT for the Iranian border.
We eliminate anything that crawls, drives or flies trying to get into 5 miles of all boarders EXCEPT for the Iranian border.
In other words, we lay siege unto them.
We force them to fight Iran or die.
This will create an unacceptable situation for Iran. Hundreds of thousands of the starving, flea infested filth will tax their resources.
A thousand years of resistance proves they will not accept Iran as their superior. They will be locked in battle for the next thousand years while civilization moves on.

Israel isn’t the best way to do it. They are winning all the battles and loosing the long war.

They are in trouble for the same reason we are, they are trying very hard to be nice in a place where that doesn’t work, and they are at the end of a long supply chain.

Israel is going to have to decide what to do soon. They are out numbered and running out of options.

What does Israel’s foreign policy have to do with preventing domestic terrorism?

If you recall, Israel had a problem with Muslim lighting up school yards and shopping malls. They instituted a domestic policy that scared the living s**t out of every Muslim allowed to live within their borders.

Yes, but they are still fighting. They walled off most of the areas, but still have attacks.

We can't wall off the areas the attacks could come from, the US is to spread out.

When one side starts playing asymmetric warfare, it the more powerful side is stuck. To win, they have to hit hard, which will only turn the target population against them, causing more unrest.

To truly win, you either eliminate the enemy culture, or move them to a more controlled area. Look at what we did with the Indians. It was horrible, but it worked.

“The Obama administration’s increasing reliance on special operations forces with a stagnant budget has sparked concern among the elite units that they will be asked to do too much with too little.

The forces will be conducting missions in 120 countries by year’s end, up from about 75 currently. This activity is increasing as the U.S. Special Operations Command’s budget is set to remain flat.”

Get out, flat out, stay out.
