It is not rational to believe that the Palestinians in the occupied
territories will be terrorized by force and violence, by cruelty, by
starvation  or by
slaughter into a docile acceptance of the Israeli occupation. There is no
evidence that that could possibly happen and mountains of evidence to the
contrary.

My comment:

Shawn should try telling that to the Sioux or the Apache or the Maya.
Conquest is possible,  Militants can be crushed and "moderates" will then
emerge. The project of conquest of course it has its own rationality or
logic. I really think that calling what Israel is doing "irrational" really
functions to prevent us from analysing and acknowledging properly what is
going on.
