Greetings to the Israeli cabinet and Israel Defence Forces:

Solomon/Shlomo was the wisest ruler of men on earth in ancient times and the people of Israel still achieve greatness in many intellectual areas, in higher proportions than their population proportion in the world. Sometimes, I feel I should add: if other people can think “outside the box”, then you can do the same.
Before I mention the latest Hamas situation, I would like to make clear that whereas I support either a Palestinian Arab state in Sinai –part, most or all of it- and Gaza, which would gets the Palestinian Arabs about the same land area as Israel, or a similar state made of the mirror image of West Bank on the eastern side of Jordan – the Arab part of the Palestine Mandate, or even part of Sinai, part of the southern West Bank and part of Southern Israel –though I think that option probably appeals the least - it doesn’t not mean I support one Palestinian Arab faction over another. I think they should be like Republicans and Democrats in the U.S., and do separation of powers by Parliament, Prime Minister and President. Supposing 100 members of Parliament, the number of reps from each party should be determined by the percentage of popular leaning towards the Fatah/Hamas parties. But that’s something for the future. First either part of all of Sinai, or the mirror image of West Bank, would have to be purchased, like Alaska or Lousiana Purchase, from the neighboring states of Egypt and Jordan.
So here I would like to comment on the Hamas situation: and please encourage original thinking, rather than imitating the Americans in everything, and that makes things very inflexible.
Supposing the Hamas boat was carrying only humanitarian supplies, all the Israeli Navy has to do is to mobilize a cargo ship alongside. Have Navy soldiers (Marines?) or even commandos –but regular soldiers is better just in case like in the movies they detonate the ship – board and temporarily seize the ship. Because otherwise what is the meaning of a blockade?

For PR purposes, do some historical research on how other nations (especially the “western” nations) did blockades in the past. As far as I remember, France didn’t flinch one moment to send a commando team to seize a Greenpeace ship that was going through the French naval ships when they were doing some kind of weapon testing. And that was some international organization. Also, I really doubt when the United States fought the First Gulf War, or during the combat phase of Second Gulf War, would any random ship would have gotten through the naval blockade. There are probably many more examples. Even better would be Arab operations to blockade Israeli ports, did they let any random ship through. And with all the research, compile it into a video, or even a music video, and other people will view it and probably pass it around.

To continue with my commentary, get a cargo ship, get a military ship, like a destroyer, to “block” the Hamas ship. As long as the military ship can carry a few infantry soldiers with rifles and some less-than-lethal (there is no such thing as “non-lethal”) weapons, and the ship can carry a boarding boat, it works. If the side of the Hamas ship is high over the waters like an oil tanker, then use a helicopter since it’s really close to the coast.
After boarding the ship, you temporarily seize it without imprisoning the crew. Any humanitarian supplies will be transferred over unto the Israeli cargo ship. The Israelis will then either distribute it ASAP themselves (all the better with the population), or give to the Red Cross or UN and they distribute it. Of course, filming the whole process so that there will be no troublemakers saying that IDF stole humanitarian supplies, etc.
Search the crew like how Americans would do, by now, at any large port. Perhaps by hand-held metal detector, this is to make sure that no crew is holding some kind of detonator. Any weapons and/or explosives will be confiscated (and I actually don’t know what happens after that, because the books, movies and newspapers never mention it) and disposed or used, unless the “one AK-47 per household” rule apply, but of course I am thinking of Katyusha and C-4 and landmines and RPGs and loads of ammo. And, since random things do happen, in the eventuality that a Hamas person detonates the ship, well that’s why the crew and ship gets secured first, or the ship gets boarded by helicopter. But if they do that, then the “humanitarian aid” PR wouldn’t work.
Or, the ship could be temporarily seized and towed to a neutral port to unload the humanitarian supplies, then the supplies gets shipped to Gaza by the Israelis.
The point is, if it’s a matter of humanitarian supplies, then it doesn’t matter who distributes it, as long as it gets to the recipients.
In terms of the often biased “Israel would look bad” (well, IDF sometimes does bad things, but it’s often unfairly biased against Israel, as can be seen in the unbalanced frequency of UN Resolutions), it’s only a matter of mentioning how “western” countries do things and/or did things.
Should there be need to fight another Lebanon War, merely ask PBS and/or BBC for a documentary of the US invasion of Mexico, including the search for Pancho Villa. Also a proportional population casualty of Israel from northern rocket attacks, compared to proportional population casualty of U.S. from Taliban/Al-Qaeda attack, and compare it with the subsequent U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.
So, U.S. population is 300 million. Israel population is 6 million.
So by population percentage, 300 is one-millionth of U.S. population , and 6 is one-millionth of Israel population. 300 American dead is in percentage equivalent to 6 Israeli dead.

3000 Americans dead on 9/11. Adding to that the Kenya and Tanzania deaths (maybe 100 Americans), adding the USS Cole (maybe 20 or 30), and the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 (nearly nobody died), so added that up doesn’t surpass 4000 dead, total, by Al-Qaeda/Taliban, before the Afghanistan invasion. That’s about 0.0013% of the U.S. population dead before the U.S. did Afghanistan war.
That means 80 Israeli dead is enough for Israel to invade Afghanistan-style as well. After all, the U.S. sets the example.
So you should set an Israeli death counter. Every 80 dead Israelis there should be a massive invasion toppling the government. But instead of occupying the country, leave it up to the UN. Then reset the counter to zero.

I am most desiring that a Palestinian Arab state be established either in the mirror image of West Bank or the Sinai+Gaza, and that a final peace treaty be signed with Israel and Palestinian Arab country recognizing each other’s existence, and that Israel and all Arab states help the economic development of the Palestinian Arab nations, building roads, ports, (and parts of Sinai would be excellent for windmill and solar panels, they may even export electricity) etc, my videogaming way of how-to-develop-a-country is rather limited.
I am also most desiring that somehow HizbAllah disarm and that all the rocket expenditure gets used to build the impoverished Shia’s lives in Southern Lebanon. (I have thought since last week and perhaps the week before, that Hizballah is deliberatedly not doing that, so people’s lives stay terrible in S. Lebanon so that Hizballah exploits that for recruiting and for consolidation of faction power/grip, that all good things and services be coming through Hizballah and the people can’t develop themselves, so that all goods be associated with Hizballah, a personality cult of the militant group, not just the leader)
It would start with the purchasing of the mirror image of the West Bank, or the Sinai, or most of Sinai. The aim is a defensible border (the last annihilation war happened about 30 years ago, it’s rather recent), plus an economically developing Palestinian Arab nation (so preferably not landlocked), else it might end up another S. Lebanon in terms of poverty and cult takeover by a militant group.
Research on that laser-zapping-missile thing should be accelerated, maybe jointly done with DARPA, since they have a lot of money to waste and they seem to be spending it on everything, including brainscanning me. So they might as well help out with the development of an actual weapon system that is necessary and not frivolous, since it’s something the U.S. would also find extremely useful. Installation of a few of those on the Gaza border, which is not all that long, would neutralize all missiles fired. It really would minimize the disruption in Israeli life in the Southern part of Israel, and also minimize the need of retaliation (which can be Hizballah-ed/Hezbollah-ed into faction grip).

In other words, the blockade should be continued and humanitarian supplies, if any, should be seized and distributed. But this should not be seen as long-term solutions. Seriously, military attacks in both fronts (Hizballah in Lebanon and Palestinian Arabs) are like hair cuts, and should be recognized as such. As long as the root issues aren’t deal with, no battle is decisive, and it will happen again and again and again.
This is why I hope all sides seriously consider the creation of the Palestinian Arab state in either Sinai-Gaza, or mirrored-West Bank, with as little of historical Jewish homeland as possible included, with massive help in building economy and infrastructure (this is different from humanitarian supplies, that’s just for “getting by in daily life”. In order to make a country that can develop and prosper, even into the parallel success of Israel as a country, in living standards and prosperity and intellectual achievement, the infrastructure/development aid will be more necessary than humanitarian aid, when the Palestinian Arab state is created.’’
And I also hope that the Hizballah gets to be developing S. Lebanon, and an internal-Lebanon political thing, rather than trying to be a state. But that involves the country of Lebanon, and it also involves Iran and Syria. So comparatively, the Palestinian Arab state is actually easier. And in order of long-term resolution (and by that, I of course mean eventual development of the population), the recommended chronological order would be Palestinian Arab State in purchased Sinai-Gaza or mirrored-West-Bank, then Southern Lebanon.
