Reply #3: unilateral withdrawal from the W.Bank invites rockets on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem

[shira]

Within months, Hamas would control the W.Bank after full Israeli withdrawal. Everyone in the know knows this. Think Gaza rockets on Sderot, only 10x worse.

Israel is not allowed to defend itself properly now - so it certainly would not be allowed to defend itself properly (as any other nation) after a W.Bank withdrawal since Hamas will use human shields again in order to maximize Palestinian civilian casualties once Israel responds. The media will do Hamas' bidding again, as they did Hezbollah, use these civilian shield deaths as PR against Israel - the hypocrites and dupes will become enraged and then Israel will have to stop before finishing off Hamas. Rockets will continue. Rinse and repeat for several more years.

Without question, the result of such a unilateral withdrawal will result in thousands more Palestinian and Israeli civilian deaths.

So is ending the occupation unilaterally and therefore inviting thousands of more inevitable deaths the best 'moral' choice?
