There is no shortage of opinions being offered as to what should be done to solve the current security situation between Israel and Gaza.
Even on the right-wing edge of the Likud there seems to be conflicting opinions.
While some believe, and I thought this was the more common opinion of people on that edge of politics, that Israel should reconquer and occupy Gaza. Take control. Re-engage. It was clearly a mistake to disengage, so it is time now to solve the problem by re-engaging.
I hear this argument fairly regularly, especially now during the current conflict.
MK Tzippi Hotoveli (Likud), who is considered by most people to be on the right-wing side of the Likud party, has suggested something completely different. Just the opposite, as a matter of fact. Hotoveli does not say to re-engage, but to disengage even further.
Hotoveli is calling on the government to stop supporting the infrastructure in Gaza, the electricity and water systems, and to financially disengage from the Gaza Strip.
I get both arguments, and maybe even Hotoveli's is a suggestion only because she knows Israel won't re-engage (perhaps - I dont know if she thinks that, if she thinks it would be a bad idea or something else)... but I find it interesting that people on the same side, and in the same corner, of political ideas can come up with entirely opposing solutions to the same problem.
