A last stand? Wow... Israel can kill Hamas all in one swoop. But I still stand by my premise that unless all of Gaza is wiped out, another group will simply take Hamas’ place.

And that's the plan. Israel does NOT want to take over Gaza, it will turn the Strip over to Fatah. Fatah's been wising up lately, and realizes that the world will shower it with boatloads of free money if it will only make peace with Israel. All Israel needs to do is to cripple Hamas' leadership and ability to fight, then it can ferry Fatah troops over from the West Bank to "reclaim" Gaza.

Once Fatah takes over, they distribute food and medical supplies to the Palis, they become the legitimate government over there. They sign a two-state treaty with Israel, and forswear any ties with Iran. Everybody in the region is then happy, except for a few remaining Hamas-Hezbollah types that can be taken out by Arabic governments that distrust Iran as much as we do.
