Where are you going with this stupid speculation?

The corollary to your argument is that Israel should not have attacked Hamas because they would only have to do it again with its successor terrorist organisation.

What you should have said is that post-Hamas, a solution to the Gaza situation will be needed. Of course, that's impossible because the Israeli Ultras have embedded themselves in the West Bank and they are also part of the Israeli government.

So, is terrorism the answer? Is it a justifiable 'last resort'? It's a vicious circle. But the terrorism must be punished.

You're exaggerating. I'm the voice of cool analysis and common sense.

You are a provocateur.
