6/24/2002: Another Palestinian child

Perhaps I'm being naive, but it seems to me like what Israel should do is just prevent any Palestinians from getting to where Israelis live. It's always some Palestinian going into some Israeli neighborhood and blowing themselves up. Why not change to checkpoints to prevent anybody who doesn't have a beard and is wearing a black hat from coming through? I doubt that would take any more resources than they're already committing, and it would require a lot more effort on the suicide bomber's part to get to a target. (The settlements are a problem in this scheme, but they too can be isolated.)
