1. Bibi is a coward leading a bunch of cowards.
DSM ,   USA   (12.23.18)
If Israel is attacked by a governmental military rather than border terrorist Bibi will first give a stern speech and then act in a tepid manner.
2. Deport those guilty of incitement
(12.23.18)
Stateless aliens, should the court of law find them guilty of incitement or supporting terrorism, should be deported. Do not just demolish the house - uproot them. Make the demolition permanent. If the house gets rebuilt - demolish it again.
3. Reciprocity
Fred Nassar ,   Los Angeles   (12.23.18)
But will you knock down Jewish terrorists homes too?
4. Draw and Quarter Terrorist Children First - Televise

5. When punishing criminals, JUSTICE must not be ignored
Moshe   (12.23.18)
It is wrong to write only of deterrence in punishment, and not to heed the feelings of general public, and particularly the families of the victims. They want to see justice befalls the murderer, and he suffers some of the torment which the hurt households endure.

6. Razing Palestinians homes is what created apartheid Israel.
Ken   (12.23.18)
7. Sitting in Our Front Yard
Joe ,   Gush   (12.23.18)
In the Golan Heights bordering with Syria, 22,000 Israeli settlers have Iranians and their proxies sitting in their front yard. Restraining them are Russian forces who are busy stabilizing the regime of Assad. Meanwhile, it is expected that the Iranians will fill the vacuum created by the departure of the Americans. Sadly, there is nothing that Israel can do to prevent this from happening.
8. You should raze your illegal settlements first
(12.23.18)
9. Crime including "islam" and Israel
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (12.23.18)
Any country can take a good example, how Israel solves crime, terror and terrorism, including the United Nations Organization, UN.
10. Better Yet
joe ,   gush   (12.23.18)
If that doesn't deter terrorism, every grave containing a terrorist should be dug
up and the remains fed to the fish in the sea. That should teach them.
11. Collective punishment is wrong
(12.24.18)
Democratic societies guarantee due process and collective punishment has no place.

12. Home demolitions don't deter terrorists
Shachar ,   Eilat   (12.24.18)
because the flip side is the PA gets them new dwellings, a monthly stipend and hero status. That doesn't mean we shouldn't destroy the homes of terrorists....quite the opposite, Israel must exact a price for every terror attack. This is a long term conflict where the side exacting the higher price eventually wears the other side down. Paying terrorists and rebuilding homes is now one of the PA's heaviest financial burdens. They won't mange to pay for much longer and then it really will be deterence.....
