#1 For a civilian like me, this is a good look at boots on the ground ---- and I really wouldn't want to be near enough to hear those tanks coming.....

#2 opinion piece ignores the tunnel issue

Hamas has offensive tunnels whose purpose is to facilitate incursions into Israel

They have smuggling tunnels between gaza and egypt

They have tunnels that store rockets, tunnels that house combat personnel, etc.

The smuggling tunnels have been hit hard from the air.

The offensive tunnels are now being discovered and disabled.

The other tunnels have only barely been touched.

#4 It seems to me that Hamas is losing big time, so, keep fighting, until they win and all is lost.

In short fight/win/ lie, till you have lost everything.

Like Obama.

#5 Israel's most difficult battle IMO is to overcome the bad press they get in America. I have great faith in their military strategists, fire power and the comittment of their people both military and civilian. But here in America, Hollywood and the press would have you think these people are anything but patriots. It disgusts me.

#6 It is as simple as this, If the Palestinians, Hammas, and Arabs put down their weapons, there would be peace. If Israel put down their weapons there would be genocide. Israel need to keep the wolves at bay.
