You lost the content of both of my posts with these light comments style of " They run & cry ...etc". The last confrontation is different than the previous although it ended with nearly the same results of failure to erase Hamas threats.
In each confrontation, Hamas performs stronger style than the previous with a clear evidence of their opponent failure. But this time, the confrontation ended while the Palestinians keeping their military action & offensives till the last moment. The Israeli Arabs displayed evidences of being effective & ready to join any future confrontations. The threat is increasing against the current Israeli regime & policies. Only the blind who fails to detect it.
Israel could 'win' this in 2 weeks. This would result in the forced removal of everyone in Gaza. Is that what you want?
Israel killed several hundred armed opponents, hidden in the civilian population, yes there were civilian casualties, but the unguided rockets are a war crime - you understand the whole world agrees this is a war crime to attack civilians?
Israel values the lives of its troops highly, so to achieve this with basically zero losses, is most certainly a success, and one that can and almost certainly will be repeated.
what the rocket attacks on civilians will probably do, is push israeli politics further to the right, with harsher treatment for the palestinians, and less tolerance next time hamas fire rockets - a reall lose-lose for the palestinians.
Its time for them to accept whats offered, they tried war, they tried terror, they tried rockets, give it up, find a solution, build an airport, hotels, make some money, raise your kids, in peace.
