What I would like to see is not public bravado and "revenge" talks - that alone makes more enemies and" reduces global empathy for Israel's situation. The most effective approach they can likely take is to grieve with the families, quietly reassess their security and intel game, identify as many of these Hamas members and their affiliates as possible, and go on a non-stop hunt for these guys, surgical strikes included... isn't the Mossad supposed to be top notch for this kind of thing? They could probably do much better dismantling Hamas this way then bombing the heck out of Palestine when most of Hamas leadership is already long gone.
Hamas is burning children alive. Burning children alive!!! You really want them to remain calm and take a measured stance while more children are being burned alive!!?! Are you serious?!? Are you nuts?!?
Remember what they did to Daniel Pearl? Nick Berg? Kenneth Bigley? That was 20 years ago. These animals have not changed. They will never change. They need to be destroyed. Gaza needs to be destroyed. Iran needs to be destroyed.
So, Ginamator, Israeli leaders and the military should just stand back and do nothing while Israeli children and babies are being beheaded and burned alive? You were always into infanticide like supporting denying health care to babies who survive botched abortions. Wow, Ginamator - you are really lower than the gutter now.
Pretty sure that Trollminator never said that "Israeli leaders and the military should just stand back and do nothing."
Why are you unable to debate the actual poster but are instead forced to make up nonsense in your head, attribute it to the poster, and then argue against the nonsense that you, yourself made up?
Are you unable to do better than that?
Ginamator urged "restraint" by the Israeli leaders. I don't think he has once condemned this massacre. He wants Israel to sit back and resist retaliating against Hamas. You okay with that?

That's the job of the leader Sally - to make decisions that are effective and not based on emotions, and clearly not to foment more chaos and violence and potentially plunge the country into an all-out war they can't possibly win. I don't need to tell you that Israel has also burned alive many Palestinian children via air strikes... Don't you evr read, watch TV, or dare to think critically a bit? You're being lazy.
1. They can absolutely win the war.
2. It is DISGUSTING to equate children killed while Hamas used them as human shields to children killed directly by Hamas intentionally in horrific fashion for the sole purpose of killing.
Sounds like your schools failed you. Im sorry that happened to you, but that's no reason to put your ignorance on display like this. Any one who took a basic history class knows that plenty more people than the Jews died during WWII and that the nazis didn't just single out the jews. They also persecuted gays, blacks, the disabled, and "gypsies". But go on and espouse your nonsensical tripe, just realize that youre showing yourself to be an intellectual midget.
That's a testament to the utter and complete incompetence of Hamas and the average Palestinian male.
The death count isn't skewed for lack of trying on the terrorists part.
If they're incompetent, why are you worried about them?
Incompetence is dangerous when a bunch of stupid and incompetent people get together, especially since they lack the basic self awareness to realize their own stupidity. This forum is a good example of that.

Do any of those other groups of people have museums in every major city trying to gain sympathy?
You were supposed to learn how to think in school, not believe propaganda. You're an "educated" moron.

Well clearly they're not incompetent at getting their military together

Urging restraint is now a bad thing? WTF?
I condemn this massacre. I will let Trollminator speak for him/herself.
Again, I have seen nothing from Trollminator that says he wants to "sit back and resist retaliating against Hamas." But again, Trollminator can speak for himself.
For my part, if there was a way to put a bullet in the head of every single person who knowingly and deliberately planned, funded or executed this atrocity, without killing umpteen thousand folks who were not involved, I'm all for it.
Since such perfectly targeted "retaliation" is not possible, it behooves us to think in practical terms. What course of action will lead to the best outcomes overall? It is not at all obvious to me what this course of action should be. My guess is that it does not involve Israel killing the 2 million people in Gaza.
