#2 Question for Israeli Rantburgers.

Do your politicians have the support neccessary to take Gaza and run a long term COIN op there?

#3 We are seeing in Gaza, and have seen to lesser extent in Iraq and afghanistan, a change from war being impersonal to war being personal.

Wage war and your house and (hopefully) your relatives houses will be bombed. Civilian causalties will in all likleyhood be your relatives.

Terrorists are no longer fish swimming in the sea. They are fish with bright neon targets on their back.

#4 Wrong question Mike N. The right question is "Do Israelis recognize that it's Metzada/Warsaw Ghetto time again---only this time we've an equalizer?".

#5 overwhelming Gaza's beleaguered medical facilities.

I am sure that wasn't too fucking hard. They invest so heavily in medicine and education for their top notch doctors.

#6 Haaretz and JPost both report that some Hamas units are low on ammo; others have lost enough personnel to be essentially ineffective. Hamas leaders are holed up in hospitals and some foreign counsels.

#10 I don't think you gave enough thought to how we view Metzada & Warsaw Ghetto, MT/2. Anyways, I did say equalizer.

#11 I think you don't see his question correctly.

He's saying you either

A) View Warsaw incorrectly, or

B) View the Palestinian problem incorrectly.

I suspect B.
