Gaza demilitarization won't solve Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Disarmament of the Gaza Strip is too simplistic of a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as this has proven unobtainable for almost four decades and will not reinforce the fundamentals of a cease-fire.
Demilitarizing Gaza is being touted as part of a solution to the fighting that has, over the past month, torn apart the small area of blighted territory.
Israeli leaders are making this demand; US officials are endorsing the demand; and Europe's foreign ministers have stated that "all terrorist groups in Gaza must disarm." Sensible as the idea may sound, however, it's a red herring — and a potentially dangerous one.
