Israel should stop treating Palestinians as child who must be constantly appeased

Anyone who tries to type the word “gestures” in a search engine will be frightened by the number of times these gestures were always made unilaterally, by Israel, to the Palestinians. We have seen all sorts of gestures: Willingness to hand over rifles and machineguns to Palestinian police; willingness to arm Fatah’s security forces with armored cars (a gift from the Belgians); approval for helicopters for the Palestinian army being formed (a gift from the Dutch); and recently, not for the first time, the unilateral release of murderers.
The gestures were never beneficial to the Israeli public. The machineguns were not utilized by Palestinian Authority soldiers to fight Hamas strongholds, but rather, were directed at IDF and Border Guard forces; the armored cars were not used as a police force, but rather, blocked IDF troops pursuing terrorists in narrow alleyways; the helicopters did not transfer patients to hospitals, but rather, were used to smuggle in weapons, money, and wanted suspects for the benefit of terror groups. The released prisoners, beyond undermining Israeli deterrence and emptying Israeli law of any substance, went back to terror activity.

The most widely-published of all Jewish books is the Haggada. Each year, numerous new editions are released, offering probing insights into this marvelous work. Most fascinating, I think, is the halachic requirement that - for at least one night in the year - parents and children must speak to each other. Sad to say, despite all the labor-saving devices which mankind has created, we seem to have less and less quality time to spend with those we love the most.
Pessah provides a rare opportunity to review the Jewish experience with our entire family, and convey essential truths to our kids about who and what we are all about. Here is what I consider to be the Top 10 Talking Points of Pessah:
