#1 Disproportionate retaliation would end the Hamas missile-genocide. However, Israel is under pressure to exercise restraint. The Euros are already blind-eyeing the Paleo diversion of aid to war operations.

#2 "You don't want people to get hung up on the fact that the Palestinians haven't fully been able to deal with the terrorist infrastructure. . ."

Who said that, McZ?

#3 The Israelis should deploy two Phalanx guns (called C-Ram) to protect Sderot. This was mentioned on Strategypage, but maybe the Israelis didn't get the memo.

It fires 20mm airburst that would take out almost all of the rockets fired, and because the Israelis are so concerned about harming Gazans, most of the 20mm frag would be too small to hurt anyone.

The cost of a Phalanx is small change to the Israelis, and nothing says "FAIL" to your enemies like "Your weapons are useless".
