An opinion piece argues that the current Israeli government's policy changes regarding settlement in Judea and Samaria are insufficient to deter terrorism. The author contends that following every attack, Israel should implement a new policy of expelling the families of terrorists and immediately establishing new settlements.
The article criticizes the current approach of merely sealing off rooms or demolishing homes of attackers, stating it does not prevent future attacks. It calls for a decisive government decision, not individual initiatives, to expel the nuclear family of a terrorist from their home, have a Jewish family move in, and for the terrorist's entire family to be deported to Gaza.
The author acknowledges the government's significant policy shifts in settlement activity in Judea and Samaria, praising the Religious Zionism party and its sector. However, the piece insists this is "more of the same" and will not stop the next attack, citing repeated attacks and casualties despite security measures.
It is argued that expelling families and expanding settlements would create the most significant deterrence against hostile acts. The piece dismisses concerns about international opinion, suggesting it is already critical and unlikely to improve. The author also notes that voter apathy among some right-wing supporters stems from politicians' unfulfilled promises.
The article references a Talmudic passage about collective punishment, suggesting that the hatred absorbed by terrorists from their families necessitates holding the entire nuclear family responsible. The proposed policy aims to deter future attacks by making terrorism financially and materially unprofitable for the families involved, thereby incentivizing them to prevent or report terrorist activities.
