    You seem to be wanting to emphasize that they are Jewish. Got a problem with Jews?

    Israel should cut losses and drop a few MOABs into Gaza

    I'm not ruling anything out in this early stage!

    For anyone that's interested in this dialogue there is also the theory floating about that Mossad had turned its attention internally, and had become complacent about external threats.

    That would kill not just Hamas fighters, but MANY civilians. It would present Israel in stark relief, as perpetrating a genocide (with which, you apparently have no problem ). It would also possibly, I'd say likely, lead to our ceasing to provide Israel any more MOABs.

    Why would you do this? What is your suggestion? Seriously, you agree with the obvious fact that the situation that Gazans find themselves in is basically a pressure cooker?

    I like to give members a chance to suggest something constructive. Sometimes it's interesting.
    Bookmarked, thanks.

    It's not just the Israel. Look at how they carved up Africa and the Middle East, sometimes straight through tribes.

    I know you're joking - but obviously Britain should stay the f out.

    Hamas didn't concern themselves with civilian casualties when they attacked, what if they had MOAB bombs and delivery methods?

    The US is giving them a % of the loot, making it too lucrative for them to stay the f out.

    Nothing is ever going to change as long as our alleged ally in NATO--Turkey--continues to refuse to allow us use of their airspace to bomb the stuffings out of Iran.

    To answer your question one suggestion is that once Hamas is cleared out - which is nothing we can do anything about, to allow the opportunity for peacekeepers from other more friendly Arab nations to keep an eye on Gaza strip, rather than Israel. I don't think Israel wants Gaza land or cares about it too much.

    Why would you want to bomb Iran? What have they done to you?

    I'm open to any suggestion, but I like evidence.

    What is there to loot? It's a dust bowl.

    I'm glad that they don't, because bombing Iran would sit back the Middle East peace process 20 years.

    The arms industry makes gazillionaires out of them.

    True. The arms industry is not sorry about any war.

    I guess the question is to what extent do they control their respective governments.

    Then your support of nothing ever changing is noted.

    If Israel can go on defense, they might have a chance to keep these so-called Hamas at Bay. I hope Israel won't end up like Afghanistan.

    Since Hamas doesn't have them, and are unlikely to be able to get anything of such magnitude smuggled past Israeli blockades/check points, your question is moot. Also, there are now Israeli hostages in Gaza, which would prevent the wholesale destruction of the land & people.

    That said, now hearing that Israel's death count has risen to 600, it seems a certainty that, sooner or later, Israel will conduct major military operations in, that is, will judge it needs to invade, Gaza.
