Actually,,the Palestinians have yet to feel the nation of Israels wrath...
Last war go round saw Egypt loose some 7000 KIA...even though they danced in the streets of Cairo..and thought they had defeated Israel.
Not alot of Dancing in Damascus...no..a pair of binoculars could see 175mm Israeli Longtoms poised to hammer them into dust.
those that ran from the Golan heights..the guys who ran and left hundreds of T-55's idling in the sun till their fuel expired..they probably had that terrifed look for some time.

Syria lost thousands and thousands..and they perished in the most grizzly fashion..as IAF Phantoms and Skyhawks dropped napalm and cluster muni's on them.

Known to the Israeli's as.."The Valley of tears".
Yes..IDF Barak Brigade was decimated..but they held the line.... soon IAF appeared to send Hamdi to his god.

If you do..enough of them..they do get the message.
Syria and Egypt..both reluctant to tangle with tiny Israel.

The Palestinians are headed for a same/same outcome eventually.
they just do not get it..and thats why..they will eventually..*Get it.

The deaths of 10's and hundreds is easy for the Palies to shrug off...
they won't recover when 7,000 + do not return home...
triple that figure for maimed and wounded.

Richard the Lionheart did a grizzly act after taking Acre in the 3rd Crusade.
after the battle..he lopped of alot of heads...numbers vary..but the point was made.
Crusaders held Acre for 200 yrs.
"Saul has killed thousands..but David has killed tens of thousands".

Islam fears David.....and rightly so : )

That time around, Israel was fighting an army or two, not an irregular force and a civilian population which in large part supports it.

Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

-- William Shakespeare
