Who said it won't make a difference?
From Haaretz: "At the same time, the Israel Defense Forces have information indicating that potential suicide bombers have refrained from carrying out their attacks for fear that their family's home will be destroyed, (the head of Military Intelligence, Major General Aharon) Ze'evi said. Five suicide bombings are known to have been prevented recently for this reason, he said.

In order to keep the identity of the families secret, there has also recently been a trend not to set up mourning tents outside the home of the family of a suicide bomber. The fear that the family will be banished from the West Bank to Gaza is a further deterrent, he said."


This doesn't bother NG and her brave gang of crusaders for "peace" at all costs, who, according to this Israeli (Hebrew) forum, are holed up in the home of the murderer that killed little Sinai Keinan and her grandmother, Ruth Peled, in Petach Tikva in May.


You probably won't be surprised to hear that some frequenters of the said forum think the army should go ahead and demolish the house anyway.
