#2 it has been forced into a confrontation with Israel — one that it did not want at this stage because of its increased isolation and financial crisis.

If they did not want a confrontation with Israel, all they had to do was release the kids. I have absolutely no sympathy for them.

#3 Too bad.

Israel shouldn't stop until Gaza is a ruin. These idiots brought this on themselves.

#4 "Israel shouldn't stop until Gaza is a ruin."

#5 Good point BP.

Mounds of rubble.

Then bounce the rubble.

Then napalm it to be sure.

#7 "Let's only bomb them one more time -- with everything that will fly, dropping everything that will go BOOM!"

C-130s don't make GREAT bombers, but you can load 'em to the gills and they still fly - kinda, sorta.

#8 OP, isn't the MOAB designed to be dropped from the C-130s? Admittedly, only one at a time, but a few dozen sorties should help.

Unfortunately, the Israelis actually are too civilized to use MOAB near civilians.

#9 Hamas seems to be a threat to Egypt, too, so it seems to me that a quiet squeeze on Egypt and Israeli borders will start squeezing Hamas. The average Joe Paleo needs to realize that Hamas is a dead end and to stop supporting them.

And that will be a tough nut to crack.

#10 A front man for Hamas's armed wing, Izzadin Kassam, listed this demand as part of his movement's effort to end the current confrontation.

Dumb f'n Paleos. You don't get to make demands whilst getting your asses kicked

#11 Help. Help. They're bombing us. (Umm, we bombed them first, but that doesn't count)
