Excellent idea! If one considers that a single Iron Dome battery costs about $50 million, while each of the Tamir interceptors cost as much as $100,000, maybe Israel would find the money to pay the Arabs to move. Just the other day, US lawmakers approved $351 million for Iron Dome and $269 million for David’s Sling and Arrow 3. That adds up to $620 million! Surely a good part of that money could be used to prevent attacks rather than respond!

yes and no, right now the money needs to be invested in the very best available defense.... no matter what better long-term solutions may be possible

but we do agree on the larger issues, and removing the terrorist population is much “nicer” (politically correct) than the obvious (just eliminating them where they are camped — which they so richly, richly deserve...but Israel is always so kid-glovish, so pacificistic, the Russians, the Chinese, the Germans, almost any other nation would have known how to take care of their enemy attackers...long ago)
