I've always thought Israel knows what it's doing. But I wonder about creating chaos in Gaza. Hamas might be a bad neighbor, but if ISIS gets in there, Jordan, or Lebanon it will be far worse.

I was hoping that countries that still had stable established leaders put aside their differences and together blew ISIS off the planet.

Maybe I listened to too much 1960s folk music. I still hope for the best. But now I fear for the worst, much worse than we could ever have imagined back then.

I am afraid you are right.

It really makes no difference to Palestinians (Arabs) what Israel does or doesn't do...they will always play the victim with or without or without war they are a people OF war.......parade the deaths, (real and false), and with this all the drama of mothers crying and families mourning. This ‘IS’ their weapon of choice to lay claim to how terrible they are treated.

They will never “put aside” their differences. Arabs will always use and abuse the so called Palestinians...as they are their weapon and their excuse for a war they won't fight outright. Rather hit or miss and deliberately agitate situations until there is war among countries.

The leadership of the Palestinians chose to align with terrorists politically...(Hamas)...knowing full well what this would mean.....they simply thought this would be yet another quick fix by Israel and they could continue as always.

This is NOT a quick fix and Israel's made it clear they are not interested in what the worlds nations think about this....they will do what they choose to deal with Hamas...and citizens will die in the crossfire.

Nobody is to blame here but the Palestinian Leaders and Hamas for joining together as they did and their consistent rocketing Israel for years now.....time to take out the trash....
