I hold that the only way to achieve peace in the Israeli-Palestinian situation is for the Israelis to respond to the initation of force (the terrorist acts against them) by ruthlessly eliminating all of the terrorist organizations of the Palestinians and refusing to negotiate with terrorists.
I’d like to offer you some links and articles in support of this position.
First, I’d like to offer The Ayn Rand Institute’s website dedicated to the moral defense of Israel
Ayn Rand Institute’s In Moral Defense of Israel Web page was created to explain why Israel has a moral right to exist and to defend itself against attack, and why the United States should unequivocally support Israel.Israel and those who attack it are not moral equals. Israel is a free, Westernized country, which recognizes the individual rights of its citizens (such as their right to liberty and freedom of speech). It uses military force only in self-defense, in order to protect itself.
Those attacking Israel, by contrast, are terrorist organizations, theocracies, dictatorships and would-be dictators. They do not recognize the individual rights of their own subjects, much less those of the citizens of Israel. They initiate force indiscriminately in order to retain and expand their power. In contrast to the state of Israel, such organizations and regimes have no moral right to exist.
Fundamentally, Israel is the target of these organizations and regimes precisely because of its virtues: it is an oasis of freedom and prosperity in a desert of tyranny and stagnation. If Israel is destroyed, the enemies of freedom attacking it will be able to turn their full attention to the United States. The United States must not let this happen.
In America’s war against terrorism, it is imperative that America distinguish friend from foe, good from evil, the opponents of terrorism from the perpetrators. In the name of justice and self-preservation, therefore, America should uncompromisingly encourage and support Israel in the common fight against the enemies of freedom.
On this page you can find numerous articles concerning Israel’s moral right to exist, Israel’s moral right to self-defense against the Palestinians, the identification of Palestinians as terrorists, how President Bush’s peace plan will fail, the nature of pacifism, etc.
Pacifism necessarily invites escalating acts of war against anyone who practices it.

I highly recommend not only all of the articles I’ve mentioned here, but all of the articles on the ARI medialink webpage
