End Terrorism in Israel/Palestine/Lebanon

We all believe that violence is wrong, even evil, and would like to put an end to it everywhere. Right now, most of us are concerned about the Israel/Palestine/Lebanon regional conflict.
Terrorism is not a political belief or movement. Terrorism is a method for creating fear, doubt, and instability; it is a means to an end, not an end unto itself. Terrorism is violence aimed at anyone and everyone, but especially innocent civilians. It is random, deadly, and is a crime against humanity.
Right now, each of the major forces in the I/P/L region, the State of Israel, Hamas, and Hezbullah (and sometimes al-Fatah), are using terrorism to get their way or, at least as they see it, for keeping their perceived enemies/opponents from achieving their goals.
Through NATO or the UN, we must demand and enforce the demand for the cessation of terrorism.

• No more killing of innocent civilians.
• No more rockets launched against non-military targets.
• No more suicide bombings.
• No more bombing of civilian infrastructure such as bridges, civil airports,
fuel tanks, roads, schools, hospitals, and communication facilities.
• No more collective punishment.

Any state that engages in or supports such activities will be excluded from the United Nations. Any group which engages in or supports such activities will be boycotted by UN members. No such group will be allowed to act as a conduit of aid package distribution or serve as a provider of any other form of governmental relief or function.
