IDF Chief of Staff: "There Is a Military Solution to Terrorism"
(Jerusalem Post) David Horovitz, Arieh O'Sullivan, and Margot Dudkevitch - Rejecting the argument that Israel must reach a political accommodation with the Palestinians to reduce terrorism to manageable proportions, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz said there is a military solution to terrorism and that Israel is well on the way to achieving it. "In contrast to the theory that the army cannot exterminate terrorism, I believe the army can reduce terrorism to the very lowest level," Halutz said in an interview. There had been a steady decline in incidents in recent years - not for lack of motivation, but rather because of the policies that the army had been following and continues to follow, he said.
