Yeah, that would mean putting the whole Palestinian leadership and all their croonies in jail. Now that's a good start. Bunch of thieves, terrorists, and thugs.How many "strategic attacks" have Muslim governments launched against civilian infrastructure on the opposite side of the globe from their homeland?
"Case in point. Article 54 of the Geneva Conventions clearly states that destroying or rendering useless items essential to the survival of civilian populations is illegal under international law and a war crime.
"Hard then to explain the 1991 US bombing of electrical grids that powered 1,410 water-treatment plants for Iraq's 22 million people. An excerpt from a 1998 US Air Force document, entitled 'Strategic Attack,' chillingly explains: 'The electrical attacks proved extremely effective ... The loss of electricity shut down the capital's water treatment plants and led to a public health crisis from raw sewage dumped in the Tigris River.'
"A second US Defense Intelligence Agency document, 1991's 'Iraq Water Treatment Vulnerabilities,' predicted how sanctions would then be used to prevent Iraq from getting the equipment and chemicals necessary for water purification, which would result in 'a shortage of pure drinking water for much of the population' leading to 'increased incidences, if not epidemics, of disease.'"
How many incidents "if not epidemics of disease...?
Material Breach: US Crimes in Iraq

Israel does the same thing all the time. It is always bulldozing crops, uprooting trees, destroying water sources. Not to mention destroying homes and places of business.
All the peace process flunkies wring their hands saying that they are concerned or troubled that this is not good for the peace process.
Screw that. Start putting people in jail. The peace process will take care of itself.
Yep, the PA in the West Bank violates domestic and international law every day. This was mentioned in the Goldstone report. And there are many in Israel who should get busted.
If that happens, peace is sure to follow. The peace process will take care of itself.
