How can Israel stop Arab terrorists from murdering Israelis? By handing over more strategic lands?

In the summer of 2005, the Israel government unilaterally pulled the Israel Defence Forces out of Gaza and uprooted all of Israel's settlements in the area, leaving the territory completely in Palestinian hands. The Israeli leadership hoped that this would result in the cessation of terrorism from the area.

But the opposite occurred! The number and variety of rockets hitting Israel increased.

So would you recommend that the Israelis turn more strategic territory over to the Arabs in the hope that this time the opposite will occur?

Albert Einstein said the the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.

Now the Israel government spoke specifically of cutting off electricity to Gaza's inhabitants if more Kassam rockets were launched from the Hamas-controlled territory, and of a possible fuel cutoff down the road.

Update:

Smoke ON just proves the thesis. No matter how much you give to the Arabs, they just want more. They won't be satisfied until the have all of Israel and the Jews are thrown into the sea. Until then, they will just cry and claim that the Jews haven't given them a thing.

So sad; you could laugh if you weren't crying.

    1) By separating Jews from Arabs altogether

    2) By retaliating with overwhelming force

    3) By throwing away political correctness, by not negotiating with murderers, and by acting ONLY in the interest of Israel, and Israel alone.

    I don't think you can necessarily hand over more land, since it doesn't belong to anyone.

    Giving in to things that you think terrorists want is proooobably a really bad idea, as it can backfire easily. They'll keep giving more land until they have nowhere to go, then the terrorists will probably kill them anyway, lol.

    It seems like the Israel government is trying to do as little as possible, and it doesn't seem to be helping.. I'm not sure what I'd do in this situation.

    Sadly these people hate Israel and the Jews too much and their hatred is nurtured and handed down from generation to generation.

    As with Northern Ireland, the only real solution in the end lies in political negotiation, going hand in hand with education of the population on both sides, until they are all sick of the violence and refuse to accept conflict any more.

    I am sad to say that I have no confidence in this fact of Israel giving away land to hopefully stop terrorism.

    No matter how much land is given away, things will not change. The evil terrorists want to wipe out the whole Nation of Israel!!!!

    Did you not hear what those evil men like Ahmadinejab and Osama bin Laden are saying? They spew out words that indicate hatred for Israel. Terrorism is worldwide in its extent and this hatred for Israel is not just confined to Israel. They hate all that involves giving people the freedom. They hate democracy.
