I wonder what Israel's end game is here? Ideally, I am sure they would like to sanitize the entire strip but that has really bad international optics. It gets real murky for them deciding whats military and whats civilian. Say they wipe out all or at least most of Hamas leadership and fighters, they will be replaced in very little time internally or even externally. Through their actions the Palestinians will have plenty of recruitment numbers to "set things right" This does not take into account the next wave of "refugees" that will be imported into countries that really do not want them.
I see no way for them to end the problem, its just going to be kids fighting in the schoolyard and every time the loser plots revenge for the next encounter.

Yep, that approach has been taken before, obviously wasn't to successful. Im thinking blockade until hunger makes them turn against Hamas and agree to a new goverment . They can sell it as trying to limit civilian casualties , while still preserving thier own . win win for them. .

Just spoke to my sister very briefly because she is exhausted. She said El Al was one of the only airlines flying because they have always been equipped with anti aircraft missile equipment. Never knew that. American isn't flying out of there because the crews wouldn't agree to it.

Pretty bad when passenger airliners need that kind of equipment. What a sad state we are in.

Personal interactions with these people are not the point. The point is they will have bigger influence on U.S. foreign policy than supporters of Israel.

Why would they make water line out of steel pipe? That makes zero sense, plastic is cheaper and lasts longer.
