Consider the way the U.S. won in Iraq. They convinced the local tribes to join in the war against Al-Qaeda because not doing so would lead to their deaths.

This sounds like a limited incursion. I think that would be a mistake. Israel should take out Hamas in Gaza completely, cover every inch of the strip and kill all men who resist. Then give an ultimatum to the clan leaders there, either you live at peace with Israel or you go find some neighbors with whom you can live at peace. Also that they, the “natural leaders” of Gazan society, will be held personally responsible for any comeback by Hamas or other Palestinian terror groups (they are protean and there seems to be no end of them). Cooperation against Israel with the terrorists will mean death.

I’m sorry it has come to this due to the Arab refusal to abide by any of the agreements they made, but that was the Arab choice. Hamas has said it is at war with Israel, a war of genocide by Hamas’s own statements. If they want war give them war, a outrance. If Israel does not strike on her schedule, they will attack when their masters in Iran yank their leashes, both Hamas and Hezbollah at the same time, and maybe Syria as well. Clean up one front before the others attack at the same time in a coordinated fashion.

Yuval, you don’t know who I am if you think that “glee” describes my feelings toward a war in Gaza.

The last thing I want is the deaths of anyone, Jew or Arab—with the exception of the terrorists. No quarter for them, as they refuse to stop murdering Jews.

The IDF is going to take Philadelphia? I know the crime rate there is insane, but wow. I wouldn’t have expected that!

Dear Meryl

I have no idea who you are but this glee regarding an israeli incursion into gaza is truly hair-raising
Gaza can be dealt with using civil means, then a systemtaic realignement of the structures so they cannot hold any more shooters. So, first shift all the blame for Gaza’s predicament unto the Egyptians, and demand they open the border to the Arab world, then shut off all communications with the state of israel inclusive of everything. Aain demanding that Arabs be made responsibel for arabs, as Jews are the responsibility of Jews. Then, start to demolish all structures which house rocket launchers, bar none. As long as a single rcoket can reach Israel, all structures withing range must be razed. The hamas can always stop the bombardment if they feel slighted. That would be my plan. as for the West, if they truly care for the Arabs they can take them away from the Land of Israel, because Arabs will not find their national aspiration fulfilled here. Perhaps in Spain, they were ousted from spain after all.

Cue to pieces?

Strange. Mahmoud Abbas lost part of a finger when he visited Gaza a while back.

Maybe he should visit Gaza a few more times?
