#1 Israel has been given fair warning by the rest of the world that the status quo is no longer acceptable. As such, they are pushed to the wall. Therefore, their future plans should be directed at ushering the Paleos out of the Gaza Strip entirely, and permanently.

In an orderly manner, Israel temporarily opens the wall to Egypt, then advises Paleos that they have several hours to load up and transport everything of value, then a broad sweep begins.

They can even offer exceptions for those individuals who are too sick to be moved, and other humanitarian exceptions, for added delay. But the end result will be to no longer have Paleos in Gaza.

Then, so that Gaza just won't be empty, it should be given to Israeli Arabs to occupy as their own, but still under Israeli jurisdiction and government.

Then Israel should build not just a big wall opposite Egypt, but a deep canal as well.

#4 From Israelleycool:
Israel said on Monday it was investigating how a night-vision security camera and other electronics ended up on humanitarian aid trucks bound for the war-torn Gaza Strip. The equipment was seized at the Kerem Shalom border crossing before entering the coastal enclave along with truckloads of food, medicine and other humanitarian goods, said defence official Peter Lerner.

#5 from same blog:
According to army estimates (based on intelligence and information obtained by the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration), at least 400 of the palestinians killed are known Hamas operatives. Furthermore, the IDF believes that among the remaining 500, at least half are Hamas operatives. In other words, more than 750 of the 905 dead could well have been Hamas terrorists, which is a starkly different picture to the one being painted by the likes of Hamas, UNRWA, and the world media.
