It's about time they did this. It's a real shame it has to be this way, but since the Palestinian people can't seem to do anything about the murderers in their midst, this seems the only reasonable solution.

A "Megiddo-not" Line?

I'm dubious; didn't work for the French. (Yes, circumstances are different, threat is different, but I'm still dubious...)

Following the model of the Romans in fencing off Scotland and Wales. They didn't just put up a picket fence either, it was substantial earthworks with vertical oaken logs. Went up quickly, eliminated most of the problem right away. Apparently the Roman patrol could hear barbarian growls from the other side of the barrier, but taking out a couple posts to breach the wall was more work than barbarians can do quietly, so all in all it did work.

Half assed solution. The solution is to define the defendable borders with a complete wall along the West Bank. The Wall should not run along the Green line. Instead it should include those areas Israel wants. At that point, negotiations over land are over and the PAlestinians can either accept it or blow themselves to bits trying to infiltrate.

There have been many instances of tunneling under.  How can they prevent that?

Well the rag people have really put it in the wringer now. I wonder who amoung them has the capability to ponder their future in any realistic way? I wonder if any of them ever thinks what their lives might be like if they had just left Israel alone and intigrated themselves? What would their lives be like if all the billions given them by the world had gone into infrastructure and development?

Now they are doomed to near utter debasement with no end. Doomed to live like rats in a welfare sewer. They deserve it.
