I have the sneaking suspicion the doves in Israel are doing this to prove to the right-wingers in their country that they will also punish terrorism.

Anyone with more knowledge about Israel’s internal politics care to comment?

I am glad to see Hamas getting whacked, I can tell you that.

"all-out war against Hamas"

It is clear this is a lie already.

Any commander in an "all-out war" would have cut off the strategic rear of his adversary: Land invasion across the south of Gaza on the border with Egypt.

Everything else can happen in good time. But the bombing should have coincided with tanks rolling East to West to the sea.

Having not seen that, I suspect the Israelis are going to pull another South Lebanon, in which they failed to encircle their enemy first before destroying them.

at last we can enjoy world peace and harmony between Israel and all of its neighbors.

What koolaid have you been drinking? Hamas needs to be eliminated, but they are by no means all that stands between Israel and "harmony with all its neighbors". Islam is anti-Judaism and anti-Semitic (and, as a side note, anti-Christian) by doctrine and so long as Israel's neighbors remain Muslim, this problem will not go away by killing some green hooded men.

What would be a fitting name for a Muslim terrorist that tried to negotiate away his nation’s sovereignty?

Barak Osama.

Spooky, huh?

I forgot Ehud Barak was Defense Minister. I’m surprised he’s on board with this.
