Netanyahu should use a few “well placed” MOABs, and turn Gaza into a parking lot, and be done with it...
No mention of partners on Israel's side that are outside of the region - Canada, Australia.... That is all.
Note what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says to the WHINERS around him ... LOL ...
Thanks all the same, Messrs Liberman and co, but nobody needs to lecture me about the dangers posed to Israel by Hamas and Islamic extremism. As for minnows like my Likud “colleagues,” Gideon Sa’ar, Yisrael Katz, Danny Danon, et al, I marvel at their arrogant inexpertise.

Liberman’s unacceptable war on Netanyahu [Israel]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3181417/posts
If the foreign minister thinks the prime minister is doing a lousy job, he should either shut up when outvoted or quit, not publicly undermine the PM at the height of a bitter conflict with Hamas.
Israel is currently a nation at war. It has been targeted with some 1,300 rockets over the past eight days fired at its population almost everywhere in the country.
Untenably, on Tuesday, Liberman sought to score points at the expense of Israelis’ faith in their leadership. Whether his prescription for Gaza is right or wrong — does Israel really want to reconquer Gaza and retake responsibility for 1.6 million Palestinians there? How many Israelis might die in the process? How will Israel’s international legitimacy be affected? Are there better ways to de-fang Hamas, including via the quietly flourishing Israeli-Egyptian axis? — the fact is that he was not elected to run this country. If he thinks the man who was is doing a lousy job, he should quit the government, not undermine it from within. Least of all from his position at the helm of Israel’s entire diplomatic hierarchy
The foreign minister is not the only prominent Israeli government politician to be openly opposing Netanyahu. Lesser-known figures including ministers Yisrael Katz (Likud) and Uzi Landau (Yisrael Beytenu), and Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon (Likud) were also spouting criticism in the course of Tuesday, and the eminently dispensable Danon was fired later Tuesday. But Liberman is the prime minister’s former bureau chief and was his political partner going into January 2013’s elections, when their two parties ran on a joint list (a partnership Liberman abrogated last week). He is seen as someone who knows the prime minister well, and here he is telling us that Netanyahu doesn’t know what he’s doing.

The Danon effect: Rightists tone down criticism of PM [israel]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3181259/posts
The dismissal of Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon on Tuesday night had an immediate dampening effect on the right wing’s criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Danon was fired after publicly opposing the cabinet’s decision to accept a cease-fire with Hamas.
“Firing Danon was intended to send a clear message to our ministers and MKs that Netanyahu has lost his patience and will take harsh measures against those who come out against him at this time,” a hawkish Likud MK said.
He said that in view of the critical statements made by other ministers and MKs, such as Gideon Sa’ar, Gilad Erdan and Miri Regev, Netanyahu had no choice. “Netanyahu lost control over quite a few party members who blasted his policy publicly. Danon is only a symptom of a much wider trend,” he said.
Anything less than the clearing of all traces of things Islamic in Gaza will perpetuate the problem.
