(among other things) I think Israel is taking the opportunity to define the starting point of the next round of negotiations that O and his team will lead. Before Israel’s ground invasion Hamas had plausible deniability about the attacks. After the ond the ground intel of Hamas’ tunnels, missle locations, etc. they will go into that negotiation with stronger evidence to counter the bias they know they will face.
Special housing? Cash benefits? Where do I sign up? Seriously, can’t we buy an island somewhere to house these people and get Sheriff Arapahoe (sp?) to adminster it?
even geothermal is not all that effective. As heat is extracted from the hot rocks, they cool and new heat can only be conducted in to warm the area up at a certain limited rate.
One of my favs from Bierce although I don’t agree with his views, I appreciate his craft:
“The man was in such deep distress,”
Said Tom, “that I could do no less
Than give him good advice.” Said Jim:
“If less could have been done for him
I know you well enough, my son,
To know that’s what you would have done.”

There once was a ‘bama named “Barry”
Whose views on taxation were scarry
“tax the rich, help the poor”
“nothing less, nothing more”
It’s the rule of Moe, Curly snd Larry
When I visited the tower of London, I saw signs in several languages warning people to beware of pickpockets. The Spanish version read “Cuidado con las carteristas”. Words to live by.
