trump once opined that the families of terrorists should be executed. It seems far fetched. however, there is evidence that families cheer brutal murders of Israelis civilians and others
do families know what their kids are up to in terror? More than likely and they might even give them support.
if the would be terrorist or freedom fighter in their lingo knows his family will be harmed, then he may not do it. or some may not do it . so society has to do 2 things-
1) hold families partially responsible- so they at least will be jailed, their money confiscated, etc
2) all Jewish Israelis even 19 year old girls have to be armed 24/7. they have to be proficient. and they have to be able to shoot any would be killer. at least with a gun she had a chance, maybe not a great chance but a chance.
blowing up their houses does not go far enough. Arabs have fear Israelis. they do not. gantz will only increase the appetite of terrorists by offering livni style concessions as outlined by gen yadlin,, who outside of air operations, is as dumb as a doorknob.
