The whole “peace process” crowd simply does not understand the problem. They imagine that the Muslims want what they would want. They see the outer world as a mirror image of themselves. Look at Condi’s comments on what Palestinian Arabs want. It never occurs to them that the Muslims have their own way of looking at things, different from that of Western liberals. Only genocide will satiate the Muslims, for the war grows out of their vanity and their overblown, narcissistic self-love. The prospect of a bunch of wretched and despised people who should be dhimmis ruling their own state, however small, in the midst of the Muslim Umma is anathema to them. Only genocide will put those uppity Jews in their proper place, and assuage the insults to Muslim vanity they have caused.

Only massive killing of the jihadists like the Hamasniks will drain that boil, just as only massive killing of the Nazi faithful in WWII drew the boil of National Socialism. A whole lot of other people will be killed in the process too, and frankly I’d rather they were not Americans and Israelis. I’m a cold-blooded, flinty-hearted bastard, and prefer that those who are our enemies die, not those who are on our side.
