If the so called Palestinians were German Nazis, One wonders if the notion "Collective punishment" would disturb the sensitivities of Olmert. Weakness only encourages acts of aggression, this is a such a known truth, why then this sensitivity for the Muslims that want your country dead, gone, wiped out, and will complete that ASAP. Will the dead Jews be any less dead because the killers were Muslims and not Nazis? Islam hates Jews as much or more than the Nazis. The Muslims are viewed differently by Israel, as misguided and hostile, but still fellow "Abrahamic" , followers of the same God, and sematic.
If it were Mexico lobbing missiles into Texas, I doubt if the Americans would fail to respond because of some abstract "Collective punishment" nonsense. Dr. Pipes is right to advocate for reciprocity and shut off all service and let the Moslems sink in their own mire.
