We shall see what happens. If the IDF retrieves Cpl. Shalit then we will know that someone in the political wing of the Israeli governing class has actually grown a spine.

Silly Meryl – that was the military wing, not Mr. Haniyeh’s political wing. They’re just sharing the name, and maybe office space at the parliament building, to get savings on rent and stationery. The politicals have already announced that they’d like the militarys to keep a lid on things, and they’ll be telling them in person next time they run into them, maybe over Kiddush in the Mosque next Friday. What more could anyone ask of them? It’s not like they have control, or responsibility or anything like that. Be reasonable.

If you weren’t so brutally Zionist you’d see the distinction. The Guardian, the BBC and the Independent will.

The Pali Arabs claim they are at war with Israel. Take them at their word. This has gone on far too long.

Sweep the Gaza Strip from one end to the other with overwhelming force.

Kill anyone who resists.

Kill anyone bearing arms.

Destroy any building from which fire comes.

Destroy all munitions found.

Tell the population that any further attacks on Israel will be met by heavy and indiscriminate shelling, just like the Qassem attacks are indiscriminate.

Listen to the Arabs whine that the Jews aren’t playing fair ’cause they shot back.

Do not apologize or offer regrets for anything. Such action is what the Arabs asked for when they decided to make war. Hiding their “fighters” amidst the civilian population just puts the onus for any civilian casualties on the Palis, as the Geneva Convention spells out. Let them endure the just deserts of their own folly, incompetence, and black malignity.
