Kondor3, Humanity, et al,
The observation by "Humanity" is correct, but the evaluation, by the UN and Permanent Court of Justice and others, of the observation is entirely wrong. Our Friend "Kondor" is more correct. "Containment" is the right word.
Various decision making entities in Israel had come to the conclusion, in 2005
(influenced by the response from Palestinians in the shadow of disengagement making the security situation worse), that Israel should focus on concentration of countermeasures in two directions:
• Motivations of the terrorist groups
• Operational capacity of the terrorist groups
Israel's counterterrorism strategy tries to reduce the motivation and operational capacity of terrorist groups, such as HAMAS, Palestine Islamic Jihad, Al-Aqsa Martyr Brigades, Fattah Tanzim, and Hezbollah to adopt terrorism as a tactic. The problem the Israelis face is that their tactics often give the terrorist groups even more motivation to attack. As the disengagement demonstrated, that the positive withdrawal cause just as much hostilities as would the expansion of settlements. There was no net positive gain. Thus, by 2009, Israeli had to institute the greater security in depth because it no longer had the ability to restore, and ensure, as far as possible, public order and safety, IAW Regulations 42 and 43 of the Hague. The criminal activity had to be interdicted outside the area of control by the Palestinian terrorist.
...Israel retains control of Gaza's airspace and coastline that, according to UNSC and UNGC, is "occupation"...
Israel is engaged in 'containment'... a.k.a. pest control... and they try to minimize civilian casualties while doing it.
(COMMENT)
False logic is as immersed issues around the Naval Blockades. The Naval Blockade is to assist the curbing of illicit traffic in small arms and and preventing them from the hands of designated terrorists (
A/RES/53/77 B) and (
A/RES/55/33 F) and (
A/RES/61/66).
The is no reasonableness, on the part of Israel, in dropping its effective defense against Palestinian groups that have declare Jihad against Israel and wish to assume sovereignty over Israel.
Most Respectfully,
R
