I have an idea on how to stop the suicide bombing in Israel.

I'll probably get flamed for this idea but I think it would work. Seeing as how Iraq is giving the families of the bombers 25,000, and the Saudi goverment (SP) is giving 5,000 to the families. So I think it is time for Israel to arrest and sentence the entire immediate family of any bomber to life in prision, and take all there possessions and split them between the families of those killed in the bombing. Now don't get me wrong, Israel is not perfect but at least the don't target innocent people just for the point of killing them. This may make pontential bombers think twice

Why punish those who aren't responsible? Makes no sense to me.

The point is not to punish those families, but something has to be done to stop the bombings, if the pontential bomber knows that he will be screwing his whole family, maybe he or she will change thier mind. Peace will not stop the bombing, they can have a full peace agreement but groups like hamas will not stop their acts of terror

Not to mention that would just make the prosecuted family members "martyrs" in the eyes of other palestinians and add more gas to the fire. *sigh* what a clusterf*ck. I'm not an especially religious guy but seeing war in Bethlehem is really depressing me.

So it's a lose/lose situtation ?

Which is exactly what the suicide bombers are doing anyway.
