#1 The IDF should consider their Gaza operation a complete and total failure if even one single building is left standing afterwards.

#2 I dunno, Zen. The problem with that is then you have to provide for the Gazooks. Smarter policy I think is to whack Hamas as hard as possible, making the survivors scurry off to Syria and Mauritania. Then you let Fatah back in only on the condition that they behave themselves. If not, they get whacked.

You've got a million Gazooks in Gazoo. Destroy every habitat and then you have to do something about them, and there's certainly going to be no 'final solution' in any way shape or form.

Whack Hamas. Kill their leadership and every hard boy who sticks his head up. But don't level the place.

#3 This war won't be won by leveling Gaza, Zenster. It will be won by leveling Mecca, and Cairo, and Bagdad.

#5 I think we all know well enough that Israel isn't going to level the place. I am also sure the lot of us know that not one thing will change until the Palestinians, both Hamas and Fatah are ushered off of Israeli soil. Shooting the Big ~~Turbans~~ Keffiyas is a good startas I have always advocatedbut all of the Palestinians are so completely disinterested in real peace that even targeted killings will not succeed. My post was merely wishful thinking. G(r)omgoru is far closer to the real answer.

#6 Why bother shooting? Shut off fuel, water, electricity and all commerce and/or contact between Israel and Gaza. Tell Egypt that Gaza is their problem and that if the rockets don't stop, they should expect IDF rockets on Cairo.
