Hundreds of casualties? Has Yossi Klein Halevi succumbed to the HAMAS propaganda of its urban guerrila prowess? HAMAS strategy and tatics is a massive sacrifice to the Molech of propaganda victory. They are not fighters. They are terrorists, and terrorists do not care for their own people.

yuval Brandstetter MD, so tell me, when the people of Gaza looks for someone to fight against the Israeli military opression, who else could possibly stand up for them?

Imagine your neighbourhood was controlled by some external military, you were not allowed to go to the shops if you did not have special passes, you were restrict from access to water and electricity. Would you not look for someone to fight against this? even if it meant someone who isn’t your real leader? Hamas is doing what (stupid) little it can because it knows clearly that it has no chance in defeating Israel’s mighty military.

Dear Steve

That is exactly israel’s situation. All borders are controlled by belligerent Arabs States. Their fifth column has already infiltrated the jewish State so that forty percent of the land are under their control, Only one international airport liable to be closed with every rocket fired from Gaza, and a military which is all conscripted volunteers who know if they do not volunteer their country will be torn apart by 300 million rapacious Arabs. As for gaza, they have 12 miles of open border with a friendly Arab country, Egypt, which they use to smuggle long-range rockets. As for HAmas, it is but an arm of Iran wheihc is 50 million oil-rich Nuclear-arming strong ultra-fundamentalist islamist country.
But I have an idea to redress the balance. israel will stop using its airforce. instead the local militias to be named ZLF (zionist Liberation Force) and HJO-LOI (Hebrew Jewish Organization Land of Israel) will set up their own home cottage industry of rocket manufacture, every bit as inaccurate as the Hamas rocket factories, and begin shelling Gaza and all Arab habitations at random. Thus ballance will be achieved, both sides using equal levels on non-sophistication. Would that be an acceptable balance?

Dear Yuval, I dont think Israel is surrounded by rapacious Arabs. If it were to be so, then they would have fought against Israel when Israel attacked Hezbolla in southern Lebanon in 2006 and Gaza at the dawn of 2009. I don’t quite understand the question you pose about the balance, but I have seen and herd that Hamas officials are marked men that the Israeli military has been and still are taking out using sophisticated weapons technology, also the fact that it kills civilians that later attempt to rescue those that have been killed.
Israel can drop pinpoint bombs, Hamas couldnt hit water if they fell out of a boat.
Prior to Gaza “war”, 14 Israelis had been killed and unidentified number of Palestinians killed. During the attack, 13 Israeli’s killed of which 3 were killed in friendly fire and 1,417 Palestinians including 926 civilians, 255 police officers and 236 fighters, over 5000 injured and more than half a million displaced.
I dont see how you can say Iran is “nuclear arming”. I pose you the questions, who decided that the US was in charge of the world? and, why was Israel (a well off country) getting the same amount of aid from the US as the rest of the world put together? All this when America’s debt is in the region of $7-8 trillion. Also why is it the of all the Arab countries in the middle east none are allowed to have Nuclear weapons yet Israel is an exception?
What justifice we have in this world!
