THIS NONSENSE HAS GOT TO STOP!

This is not enough.

The Palestinians have to be crushed militarily and they have to understand beyond any reasonable -- or unreasonable -- doubt that they have been crushed militarily. Then Israel has to take over the Palestinian school system of madrassas, a.k.a. mad-houses, and run it themselves to eventually fade out Islamic fundamentalism. Anyone who preaches or gives aid to Islamic fundamentalism in any way should be shot ...Then after a couple of generations come and go when the Palestinians are ready to not be suicidal maniacs, Israel can implement a Gradual-Sovereignty plan in which the amount of troops that would be in Gaza and the West Bank and the Palestinian's ability to do foreign policy themselves would be based on their behavior and not what some guy with a pocket book from Brussels, Paris, or the United Nations says.

However, the Palestinian security structure would be limited by law and the Palestinians would NEVER be able to enter into military alliances on their own. Does this sound familiar? This is exactly what America does in its foreign policy, and it works. Israel should learn from the United Sates, and not from European pompous ... meaning that Israel should crush terrorism decisively once and for all. Not doing so wouldonly have more Jews killed, when they need not be, and the Jewish state further demoralized.
