1. you are wrong. your weak limited imagination condemns you.

2. a broken record
(11.11.14)
The Left has a limited number of false messages that they repeat like they are a broken record. The First Intifada lasted for years because Leftist generals and politicians sabotaged the IDF while repeated the mantra "Israel cannot win, only fight with no hope of victory until there is a political solution that involves retreat to 1948 lines and allowing unlimited Arab immigration" Then, between 1990-1992 (after Peres' "Dirty Trick" cleansed the government of Leftist influence) Shamir and Ahrens easily defeated the Intifada and rendered Arafat irrelevant.
3. Protection is possible
linda ,   Paris, France   (11.11.14)
You must give anti-bullets/knife coats to Israel population, as you do with gas masks. And also helmets. And evite incidents and Arab hysteria.
4. Indeed, you can't 'thwart everything
tiki ,   belgium   (11.11.14)
What you can do is use the same methods x 2!
5. Stop saying cannot
zelig ,   Memphis,U.S.A   (11.11.14)
When People used to cringe in fear of Polio,Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin didn't throw their hands in the air and give up.When liberal democrats laughed at Ronald Reagan's S.D.I., Israel perfected it with Iron Dome.If Shin Bet can't stop these killers today,then get on your thinking hats and help them do it tomorrow. If you have to monitor everyone living in Israel 24/7 then do so [I tossed the "everyone" in so as to appease the self hating liberals].If you need to shut down Arab schools and replace them with Montessori schools then do so.Do whatever it takes.If you have to deport,then deport.If you have to jail,then jail.Ask Singapore how THEY do it.Ask North Korea how THEY do it. Just take "can't " out of your lexicon!
6. Yes but...
Rube Vogel ,   Jerusalem   (11.11.14)
You are correct for now but eventually the free world will need to find solutions even to this thorny problem if it wants to remain free. The solutions are extreme and nasty and unfair and cruel but the alternative, of letting terrorists dictate our way of life is unthinkable.
7. Oh we can thwart both this and any coming attempts at black-
(11.11.14)
mailing Israel into national suicide by agreeing to a terrorist entity in our midst: be it called Palestine or ISIS-stan! The only thing stopping us from doing this is (as always) our own, hapless government.
8. #3 Also armor suit against cars
(11.11.14)
9. #4 Those methods already increased terrorism
(11.11.14)
Do you want twice as much terrorism?
10. What a useless weak individual who
DT ,   TA Israel   (11.11.14)
writes such articles. Everything can be overcome- and defeated if there is the Will, strength and leadership

Gideon Reader ,   USA   (11.11.14)
...event a drum head court and immeadiate PUBLIC HANGING, is in order as well as the destruction of family homes to the fifth degree, along with instanter expulsion from Israel and all of it's territories. If attacked shoot early and often. Nothing to stop violence as well as greater overwhelming violence. Screw the civility crap. Discus among yourselves.
12. Self-hating Jew defeatist Yossi
Beno   (11.11.14)
What a heap of poop
13. There are no quick fixes ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.11.14)
.... or short-term solutions. Annex Judea and Samaria and expel the illegal Arab squatters therein to Gaza, along with any fifth columnists in Israel. The carrot hasn't worked. Time to go with the stick.
14. MAKES COMPLETE SENSE !

No kiddin', who said so? ,... Take look in the mirror, obviously you look like them, you talk like them, you dress like them, you eat like them, you dance like them, you ... to make it short, there's not one shred of doubt that belong to that part of the world, no ma'am ;) ,...
16. to 15
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (11.14.14)
You need to calm down, split....Norma was not kidding, "genius"...You do need to study some stubborn historical facts, no person with basic education can deny...For starters, you could read your Bible and learn, that Judaism is the over 3000 years old religion with a very reach glorious history...There wouldn't be a Christ (Joshua) or the Bible, if there wouldn't be Jews...It was the Jewish People, who received the first "word" from G-d, the 10 Commandments and the Bible...on the land of Israel...And no matter, where We are these days, We Were There First.. And just as the land of Israel belonged to the Jewish Nation thousands of years ago, so it will forever remain our National Homeland...
17. BULL-ONEY!
Dina ,   Jerusalem Israel   (11.13.14)
That's just total bull that there is "no security solution" to handle the lone terrorists.... Rabbi Meir Kahane HY"D had the ONLY solution that would have taken care of the problem once and for all: There would be NO Arabs here to carry out attacks, whether as individuals or in groups. But no, we just didn't want to listen to that. And we suffer the consequences of our blindness, stupidity and obtuseness ever since.
