Israel is now completely at war with Palestinian terror groups, no less than America is at war with al-Qaida worldwide and Saddam Hussein loyalists in Iraq.

Hence, Israel must escalate its rules of engagement, mimicking those recently established by American forces in our own war against terror waged in Iraq and Afghanistan. As such, Israel should pre-emptively and unrelentingly eliminate Hamas and company where they stand as soon as they are identified or self-identify.

By "eliminate," I mean kill.

By "as soon as they self-identify," I mean as soon as parading militants don the green-masked and explosive-bedecked uniform of a suicide bomber, or publicly proclaim themselves as waiting for orders to do so, whether the militant is beating his chest in a rally or cradling a megaphone in a press conference.

By "where they stand," I mean wherever they are located - in a car, in a training camp or in a public protest procession.
