Beats destroying a country for no good reason or imaginary WMDs or whatever.
What if the courts decide its legal to cut off basic supplies, electricity and fuel to 1.5 million people? What would people do?
fire rockets?

I would look at what Ghandi G taught us about revolution.
How many of the 1.5 million do you see fighting?
We here in the United States have learned to get along with our neighbors. Granted, we may think of correcting Bennedict Arnold's failure in Canada from time to time. But generally we like our neighbors.
Lets say you keep birds in a cage. There are many many other birds in that cage. You make sonic booms, deprive the bird of food, poke sticks and kill the birds with a shotgun if they look aggressive ( and a few other birds besides because you cannot control where the pellets go). You tortured the baby birds by occasionally breaking an arm or a leg or stamping on their chests. One day, a bird gets out and upon seeing your kid, attacks the kid's face and pokes out the kids eye. Whats the solution to this problem?well the people of sderot dont fight yet you support their killing, including the suicide bomb in dimona, because of the poor palestinians.

well maybe if the birds didnt fire in the first place because thats the only way they think theyll get what they want, they wouldn't be locked up?
they wont get any sympathy from me. if i wil die theyll dance on my grave, so screw them. i dont owe them anything.
Locking up people, depriving them of food and other necessities, is never going to achieve anything but resentment and hatred.
It does, in my neighborhood. The rednecks I work with, even the ones who want to break out the cattle cars and start serious deportations, actually like Mexicans - and Guatemalans, etc, whom they lump in. Hard workers, only thieve occasionally and for comprehensible reasons with reasonable means, father stays with the family, send money home, etc etc. -sowhatif said:US citizens like Mexicans?
I don't think this passes.

they lost their appetite's??? horrible!!! nuke israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a very strange thing to see that the leaders only want to attack others instead of addressing their own personal citizens concerns about food and water before spending so much money on weapons and corruption by those same leaders.
• In 2007, there was an increase of 13 percent in the number of Palestinians held in administrative detention without trial, which averaged 830 people.
• 66 staffed checkpoints and 459 physical roadblocks on average controlled movement inside the West Bank. There was little improvement in Palestinians' freedom of movement, despite the promised easing of restrictions.
• Israeli settlement population grew by 4.5% (compared with 1.5% population growth inside Israel), a more moderate increase than the previous year.
• Israel continues the freeze policy on family unification, denying tens of thousands of Palestinians the right to a family life. However, in what was termed a one-time gesture, Israel approved family unification for some 3,500 Palestinian families.
• The number of houses demolished in East Jerusalem rose by 38 percent, to 69 homes.
• Palestinians continue to face severe discrimination in the allocation of water in the West Bank, causing serious hardship in the summer.
• The number of Palestinians killed in intra-Palestinian clashes was the highest throughout the Intifada.
Detailed statistics
The right to life:
A comparison between 2007 and 2006 reveals a decrease in Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, and a decrease in those cases that raise the suspicion of arbitrary killing. However, the figures for 2007 still give cause for concern.
In 2007 (up to 29 December), Israeli forces killed 373 Palestinians (290 in Gaza , 83 in the West Bank ), among them 53 minors. By comparison, in 2006, 657 Palestinians were killed, including 140 minors: 523 in Gaza , 134 in the West Bank . In 2007, about 35 percent of those killed were civilians who were not taking part in the hostilities when killed. This is a reduction in comparison with the number of casualties who did not participate in the hostilities in 2006, which was 54 percent, (348 persons).
Palestinians killed seven Israeli civilians (three in a suicide attack in Eilat, two in Sderot by Qassam attacks, and two by gunfire in the West Bank ). This is the lowest number of Israeli civilian casualties since the beginning of the Intifada. Palestinians also killed six Israeli security forces. In 2006, Palestinians killed 17 Israeli civilians.

Sonic booms from the Minot base were a feature of my childhood. They cause damage which can accumulate over time, to health and physical structures - the Air Force has always had problems with them, civilian complaints. If they were employed at night for deliberate harassment, they would be a serious matter.
