ISRAEL VS. HAMAS

ISRAEL: Israeli Defence Forces have a tough job. They are fighting committed Muslim fanatics who hide amongst the civilian population. Whenever Israel responds to something like, oh say, DAILY ROCKET ATTACKS, the terrorists go to ground and hide in either civilian homes or places that would not normally be targets: schools, hospitals, or mosques. Then when the IDF visits and KILLS them, they can cry about collateral civilian casualties that are the inevitable result of the terrorists hiding there in the first place. It's part of the vicious cycle of Israeli -Palestinian violence. The Hamas terrorists operate completely outside the laws of land warfare, then seek world sympathy for whatever inflated number of deaths they are claiming. They never mention that the vast majority of civilian deaths were people being used by Hamas as human shields.
Then the pacifists at the United Nations start wailing, and Israel starts granting short cease fires for humanitarian resupply. The Hamas terrorists use the pause to resupply as well, prolonging the fighting. We've seen it all before. It seems to have no end. That's why the Israelis should get a bit tougher.
Cancel the humanitarian aid breaks. Give Hamas no quarter and no rest. Anything delivered to Gaza will be seized by Hamas in any event. The terrorists hide amongst the innocent, so supreme discretion is needed, but that should not impede location and destruction of Hamas targets. Israel should clean out Teheran's Hamas surrogates before wrapping up operations. No nation should be expected to be indifferent to constant terrorist attack, and there should be a wider recognition of Israel's right to self defense. Let the crybabies at the U.N. do what they do best: cry. Until the rocket threat is eliminated, Israel should apply maximum pressure and eliminate as many Hamas targets as possible.
Hamas alone bears responsibility for the collateral damage. They are using civilians as sandbags, so some innocents are bound to get caught in the fire. Hamas knows that the world media will pick up on film of the injured civilians. Their complaints fall on deaf ears for my part. Don't hide in civilian homes. Don't use civilians as shields. Stop hiding in or firing from protected buildings. While you're at it, try a uniform. The Hamas terrorists would never do that. Then it would be a straight up fight with IDF, a fight they have to know they would lose badly and quickly. I don't hear law of land warfare complaints from those who launch unguided rockets into civilian populations, or blow up civilian buses with suicide bombers, or hide amongst civilians.
From my perspective, Israel is way too restrained. Can you imagine the American response to rocket fire from Canada or Mexico? Would that be restrained? I hope Israel gets both hands around Hamas' neck and twists. Why should they stop before finishing the job?
Any conclusion to the conflict that does not eliminate Hamas power in Gaza is unacceptable. It would only continue the cycle. Israel should break Hamas once and for all as a power in Gaza. The whole mess makes a mockery of any so called "two state" settlement. Setting up Hamas as heads of a state is a bad idea. This has to be the most intractable conflict on the globe. I support the IDF.
