#1 Rockets, retaliatory airstrikes. Seems like we've slipped right back into the good, old, comfortable status quo.

#2 My devious mind has just produced a thought that troubles me. Hamass, on behalf of Iran, may be keeping the violence at just the appropriate level to drain Israeli defense funds, preventing Israel from having the financial ability to respond to a major coordinated attack on its territory by Syria, Hezbollah, and others. The constant drain of resources HAS to be costing Israel a bundle, not to mention the high cost of maintaining an army in the field, even in its own territory. If Obama cuts off funds to Israel, they may have a hard time defending themselves.

#5 It's not reasonable to expect anything more than routine gestures right when an election is occuring.
