#1 I've got a solution!

Call these bozos every night to say they are getting attacked! Eventually, the Innocent Civilians(TM) will get tired of it and wander off to bed. Or maybe call here, then there, then somewhere else, all at random, until they get tired of it and wander off to bed.

Then call your main target and bomb the crap out of him.

Eventually, they will only surround the houses of known terrorists, so you can separate the men from the boys that way. Send in ground forces on the real terrorists, or do the call/call again thing.

We can use this against them!

#2 How about equipping Spectre with a water cannon? With soap!

#3 The preachers noted that the IDF always phones the owners of the houses and warns them that they must leave within 15 to 30 minutes.

Why risk israeli lives to demolish an empty building?

Either stop it altogether (buildings don't kill peopel, people kill people), or simply stop phoning warning! This is pure non-sense. Do terrorists phone warning to evacuate israeli buildings their boomers will explode into?

#4 You could just go ahead and bomb, regardless of the subhuman shields. You will get blamed, anyway. The Paleo use of civilians to guard military targets is a war crime and according to international law, that means Israel is not responsible for their deaths.

Of course, the actual international law and the phoney "international law" cited by the transies are two different things.

#5 another aspect of a solution:

instead of announcing that ONE building will be attacked and should be vacated, announce that 5-10 will be attacked and should be vacated -- all suspected of housing legitimate targets. If they coalesce around a single target, that's the one to go after!!!

#6 I thought that their artillery was pretty effective against human shields. I would continue to use it.

Note the drop-off in suicide bombers against coalition forces and Israelis. After awhile they ran out of martyrs. It would take even less time to run out of willing human shields.

#7 I don't see what the problem is for the IDF. They're going to get blamed anyway for "civilian" deaths, so why should those human shields matter?

#8 I'd be calling the building around the corner from the main target. When the 'civils' still run to the target, that would be a real clue that an industrial work accident is overdue.

Besides, a "heavy price" is a heavy price, whether it comes from the air or the ground.

#9 Israel should declare that the entire Gaza Strip is a military target, and demand the civilians and fluffy bunnies evacuate. If they don't, it's THEIR failure, and no reason to condemn Israel. Follow up by using direct arty fire on every structure in Gaza City. Continue until Hamas/Fatah/Hezbollah/whatever other funky pieceofsh$$ organization in Gaza begs for surrender terms. Then target the "peace" delegation. Sooner or later the paleos will get the message and move to Darfur, where it's friendlier.

#10 Turn off the water and electricity and let them stew in the dark. Let Egypt, the EU, and/or the UN take care of this literal and figurative cesspool.

The IDF also needs to let these fools surround the house and send a jdam either concrete or HE right though the stovepipe of the house. The Paleos see the Israelis humanity as a weakness to be exploited. So that little loophole needs to be closed.

The US is in the same boat in Iraq.
