    Well, looks like the Middle East is going to continue to implode then.
    Lovely.

    Pity the poor Palestinians. (but fuck Hamas).

    I think a wall should be built around israel and palestina and a lid
    should then be lowered on top.

    Then we wait for 50 years and when lifting the lid, things will have
    calmed down.

    That might be a better or even quicker resolution than selling arms to
    just one side .

    Israel threatens to strike Iran directly if it attacks from own
    territory

    The Israelis may be overestimating their military strength. While succeeding in destroying Gaza infrastructure and slaughtering a sizable number of innocent civilians, Hamas remains a force to be reckoned with. Iran possesses a well-armed, well-trained military and will prove to be a worthy adversary for the IDF.

    Note that israel is defending itself against terrorists, and any civilian casualties is the fault of hamas hiding among them thus drawing fire onto
    them. Sad of course, but israel has the right of defense.

    As for iran, they need a good war, preferably with israel + the US, so the dictators can be killed and democracy restored.

    iran realizes this and will of course never risk the wrath of the US.

    Strength? Man-to-man warfare is old school Being stealth is what
    counts.

    If Iran does more that tit for tat, it may be in for a big surprise.
    All countries in middle eastern neighborhood do not support Iran.

    I agree with you on this.

    6 mos into this war, Hamas is still fighting

    Semantics...using civilians as their shield for hit/run shootings


    fighting Muslims is not as easy as it would appear

    I'm not sure previous events in Afghanistan and Iraq would compare to
    what Israel has done, especially destroying those tunnels.

    With fewer standing buildings, and no tunnels to hide in, this means
    Hamas is crippled.

    Their firepower is limited since stockpiles have been
    removed/destroyed.
