32. Then you legitimize the conflict
My response on this failed to post. I'll try again.

The signed agreements contain the following for the Gaza security forces:

The Palestinian Police will enforce special security measures aimed at preventing infiltrations across the Delimiting Line or the introduction into the Security Perimeter of any arms, ammunition or related equipment, except for the arms, ammunition or equipment of the Palestinian Police, authorized through the relevant DCO.

This is the relevant portion of the Gaza-Jericho Agreement. Terrorism is one of the primary reasons that none of the previous agreements have advanced into real implementation.

Smuggling arms through a tunnel is contrary to every peace accord yet signed. Arming militants is contrary to the Road Map. In fact, it stipulates disarming militant groups if you recall.

Gunmen who are employed to carry out the arms smuggling operation are participant in the terrorist organizations. If Arafat can't/won't stop them, Israel must. It seems to me that you are in favor of continuing the conflict, if you view the militants as carrying out a ligitimate resistance. Only supporting the Road Map was the objective. Peace is the objective, remember?
