#3 Bloody Jews had better mind the warning. If there's one thing we're current on, it's cross-border assaults, infiltrations, and invasions.

#5 As long as Hamas is unrepentant, it seems silly to expect the Israelis to care more about the Paleostinians than the Paleos do themselves.

Previously, the Israelis could 'mow the lawn' whenever Hamas got uppity, back when over-sized bottle rockets tended to land harmlessly in the desert. Now that Hamas has upgraded rockets that can reach major cities, Israel no longer has that luxury. Iron Dome has stopped a hundred or so rockets. Eventually, one will get through.

The choice becomes crush the new, upgraded Hamas now, or take the hit on a major city. A cease-fire is just a change for Hamas to obtain better weapons.

#6 My question is what happens when one of those rockets DOES get through and causes major damage and death in say Tel Aviv?

Would anyone do anything?

#8 "But it said even more civilians would be put at risk were Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to heed hardliners in his governing coalition and send in troops and armour."

Guess DC is unclear on the concept of "Human Shields." Should there be civilian casualties on the Israeli side, all hell will, deservedly, break loose.

We have selected morons to represent us.
