#2 Will the IDF be allowed to shoot back when they are attacked from these sites?

#3 In for a dime, in for a dollar.
Line up a few dozen big Cats and scrape the whole place flat into the sea (or to Egypt) the next time they push beyond the limit.

#5 g(r)om, how am I being ridiculous? IIRC, the ROEs for Americans in Iraq forbade returning fire if they were fired upon from a mosque. They could not call in an air or artillery strike either.

#6 I personally don't care if every building in Gaza is demolished, down to bedrock. In fact, knowing Hamass and Hezbollocks as I do, I feel that is the only humanitarian thing to do. It will not only relieve the suffering of Israelis, it will also relieve the suffering of paleostain "refugees" who have been bottled up in "refugee camps" since 1948. If Hezbollocks should attack from Lebanon, Israel should totally level everything from their northern border to the middle of Beirut and all the Bekaa valley. Screw the "UN Peacekeepers", who are at least complicit in the re-arming of the northern border. The Israeli use of nukes against its enemies should be a given, since that's the only way the "humanitarians" in the world will learn that Israel not only has the RIGHT to use whatever weapons it has in its arsenal, but also the moral imperative to use whatever is necessary to protect its citizens. I would suggest that Israel hold at least one nuke back for use on Brussels when the EU begins their criticism.

Sorry. Sometimes, I assume things.
(i)I'm sure US servicemen in Iraq comply with these procedures religiously. I know I did with similar ROE during the first intifada. How shall I put it? There is an American expression "It's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six." We have a somewhat similar expression in Hebrew.
(ii) After 15 years of Oslo war, nobody in Israel---not even the Peace-seeking left (the EU funded Tranzi fringe doesn't count as Israeli in my book), believes that sacrificing IDF soldiers lives to "World Opinion" does any good (it took some time, but most Israelis noticed that the more concessions we make, the harsher World Opinion treats Israel).

#8 ..naturally there will also be a map to list the Israeli sites that shouldn't be hit with rockets or suicide bombers [sarc].

Can you imagine WWII being fought this way?
