Reader comment on article: Arafat's Last Threat to Israel?

It's what the Israelis must do for themselves. It's the only thing that has worked in the past and it's the only thing that will work now. Avoid making treaties with their enemies but drive them out of the land by military force.

Nobody else is going to do it for them.

I can only wonder what King David would have done with someone like Arafat. I doubt if he would have died peacefully in hospital bed.
