Agree with your analysis. I would add this: the best incentive is success. The terror tactics have been successful beyond expectation. The more brutal, the more grotesque the murders and the rapes, the more the world applauds. Sinwar, the master tactician, knows this full well

Yes, sound logic, it’s been/being bred in the bone. Here and there.

Israel should stop at nothing less than full victory over the savages, keep up the assault until the enemy is crushed and submits fully. The initiators of the violence must be roundly defeated and see that they have no choice but to surrender without conditions. The aggressor must never be allowed to sue for peace. Victory is the prerequisite to a lasting peace.

Love your article, it is wonderfully refreshing, thank you!

Yes I noticed too some of the math didn’t add up. You may, since you use it, ask someone to look over the source where you got your figures to check for accuracy, then ask them to edit that portion of your article. Otherwise, excellent

I think I made my point. I'll depend on mathematicians to crowdsource anything that needs fixing. hahaha

Excellent piece I get it- it’s like looking at medieval documents they may not add up perfectly but the artifact itself is telling

Are you kidding it’s a bizarre Palestinian poll and exemplifies perfectly the author’s point

If 67% of Palestinians supported stabbing and 73% opposed “the participation of young school girls in the stabbing attacks …” that doesn’t mean more than 25% think “young school girls” should be stabbing Jews.

There is a group of 100-67=33% who don’t support stabbing. There is also a group of 73% who oppose young girls’ participation. That second group could possibly be completely different people to the first group, so the minimum number who oppose young girls stabbing Jews is 33% and the maximum is 96%.

I've never bene good at math. But you get my point: An unacceptable number of Palestinians think "young school girls" should stab Jews.

Your arguments are strong, you don’t need dubious statistics!

This is different from how Democrats react to Trump only in degree, not kind.
