Was I right or was I wrong?

I said last week that something big would happen (or start to happen) this week in Israel. Hopefully something that will lead to the destruction of out enemies and peace in the Homeland.
Well the big news of last week is that Hamas and Fatah have started another civil war in Gaza. This has unfortunately lead to a large number of kassam rockets being fired into Sderot and other parts of Israel, but this has finally called on Olmert to take some kind of action.
Not that his action has been very helpful, but the IAF has started firing at the missile launchers n Gaza and there's been talk (at least from the right-wing in the Kenesset) of a large scale ground operation into Gaza.
I remember back in 2005, the arguments that took place about the expulsion of Gush Katif, how the right-wing side was saying yehdi lo migaresh yehudi, Jews don't throw other Jews out, and the Left saying that, by giving the Arabs their own land, would give Israel the ability to treat them like an enemy country if they shot rockets into Israel, and wipe them out. Ariel Sharon even said at one point the if one rocket came into Israel the IDF was going to go in and wipe them out.
Almost 2 years and hundreds of rockets later, Israel still has not taken any significant action against Gaza. I hope that the current situation will eventually lead to the expulsion of the Arabs, to other lands, and the Jews can once again populate all of Eretz Yisrael.
Now for the incompetence of the PM. Olmert made an absolutely outrageous statement last week that had Tovia Singer in an uproar. Olmert announced that the current attacks in Sderot would not warrant a serious response because no one had been killed.
If a rocket was ever launched from Mexico into Texas, the US would have a bout a 45 second delay from the moment the report came in until the fighter jets dropped bombs, and destroyed the entire area from which the rocket came from.
Why does Israel refuse to respond to rockets that are being fired into it's own country.
Tamar Yonah has been talking now for about a year about MEFTA, Middle East Free Trade Agreement. How the US State Department wants to bing peace to the area, not for the sake of Israel or the Arabs, but so the stability in the region will open up the ability to create a free -trade-bloc and that would translate into more money in the world economy.
The truth is, I don't have a problem with this, but the desire for this trade bloc should not be at the expense of Israel's security and future. A new way should be found to solve this conflict and I truthfully believe that, unless something drastic happens, the only way to achieve this is to get all of the Arabs out of Israel and settled somewhere else.
