File under: Hamas

#1 Israel would be wise to crush this scum now. Bigger fish await the deep fryer.

#3 Avoiding, as much as is possible, harming Palestinian civilians who are not involved in the fighting

One of their favorite things to do as "civilians" is to stand between the IDF and their own terrorists. In my mind, that makes them combatants.

Also, I don't know if Israel has anything like six months to prepare considering where they are going to be getting their supplies from. They want it to be over and done with by the time the next president takes office. Just in case.

#4 preparations have not yet been completed, which is why the operation is delayed.

The whacking of Imad Mughniyeh was the start of this operation.

#5 Six months yes, but when did they start?
My guess is at least 4 months ago.
I'm going to enjoy watching this,
call me a ghoul if you must but the paleos and ham-ass have got it coming.

#7 ...preparations have not yet been completed, which is why the operation is delayed.

really, how long would it take to plan a rolling artillery barrage.

Avoiding, as much as is possible, harming Palestinian civilians who are not involved in the fighting

someone needs to wake up and realize that there are no civilians there. (civilian implies civil...)

#11 If Israel plans a large incursion into Gaza, it will trigger Hezbollah incursion from Lebanon.

Pass the popcorn.

#12 Hezbollah won't cross the border IMHO. They may push ~~civilians~~ willing human shields across and will definitely rocket N. Israel. Israel needs to get out front with a widespread release: "approach the border and you'll be shot. Allow Hezbollah to rocket from civilian postions, and they are subject to attack. Get out now!"
