Michael- Aside from your misapplication of the principle, simple solutions are appropriate for simple problems. Terrorism is not a simple problem nor, to paraphrase Sandra Scarr, is this a simple world. To be quite honest, I believe that offering that there are simple solutions to this problem, that there is a direct causal connection between the Israel Palestine problem (which has exsisted for far longer than the US), and other such nonsense is disrespectful to Israel, Palestine, and the lives of the victims of this tragedy. Such simplifications presuppose that Palestine is the perpetrator; That Israel could have prevented it or bears responsibility for the acts; That the US controls its allies and its enemies. All of which is absurd. Michael- this level of simplification is inconsistent with reasoned discourse.
