I think we can all agree that kidnapping, and then killing, Israeli soldiers and civilians was a very stupid thing to do on the Palenstinians part. But, I don't think Israel should escalate this into a war. Although, "war" is a pretty strong term to describe something that would only last a few months, at most. Palenstine could not win a fight agains Israel, period. Israel has the backing of the U.S. Although, IMO, this is and always has been a very stupid thing for us to do. Israel has made a lot of enemies in the ME, which is definitely not good for our foreign relations.
So here's to hoping this doesn't get much further.
months?! lol.. I give it two weeks tops before Israel has the entire Palestinian populace under lock and key, or in the ground. Things are about to get realllll ugly for the Palestinians, and nobody can deny that they've brought it on themselves.
my thoughts and prayers are with the Israeli soldiers tonight. It's time for them to go to work!
Funny, that's basically the same thing that was said about Iraq. Terrorists don't just go *POOF* and vanish into thin air when a military power waves its war flag. They endure, always have and always will. And putting a country under "lock and key", as you put it, is not a way to get rid of them.
And in response to JediYODA: Yes, that's pretty much exactly what I'd do. What Hamas did was wrong. I'm not going to argue with you there. But Israel doesn't exactly epitomize peace and democracy either.
The Isreali army, and the nation as a whole, are unlike any other in the world. They can, and will, defeat whomever they need to, using whatever means necessary. They wont let the politics from China, Russia, UN, EU, US, or any other factor get in their way... trust me.
I'm actually jealous of their abilities to fight terror with a massive balls-to-the-wall response. This may just be the final straw for them; and if that's the case, they're not going to stop until every militant is in the ground.
That is one of the best ways to skin a terrorist cat. I just wish that our military were allowed to do the same! Take the political handcuffs off, and we too could bury the terrorists we're facing every day... every last fvcking one of them. (ie, allow us to enter Pakistan, Iran, or anywhere else they are currently allowed to run and hide! then, once we're there, let us bury them all!)
I hope Israel kills every last gun-toting jerk they find in Gaza! It's truly sad that it must come to that, but enough is enough!
