#1 Bravo! Great work by the IDF. But against whom: unarmed Palestinian civilians. For every one Palestinian killed by the "brave" IDF, two will don the suicide garb and blow up ten more Israelis. Calculate the losses in a decade and sum up the equation. Actually Israel looses in the long run. next time tell your bosses not to harp on the Human Rights flawed slogans. IDF kills three year old baby and the world looks the other way. Well, ten more suicide bombings for this crime expected in the future.

#2 Onlooker, if your logic was at all applicable, the last 20 years would have surely provided the Palestinians with better than a 3-1 death/kill ratio. At any rate, I find it hard to take your point seriously since an additional, possible threat from an already actively hostile enemy is no argument for inaction, which appears to be what you advocate. The only mistake the Israelis made is that they failed to take such decisive action to its logical conclusion back in the day; one can only hope that there is still time to kill enough of the more rabid Palis now.

#3 So, Onlooker, NO mention of the mom and two boys who got killed last Sunday, hmm???

Keeping your eyes focussed on the issues of only one side makes your mind go blind...
