Lots of empty buildings being destroyed? I have heard one too many times about the coming severe response. It never happens and given the current paradigm never will. Remember the fuel truck that was blown up that luckily had diesel instead of gasoline. Had it been gasoline it could have resulted in hundreds if not thousands of dead. No severe response there. The Dophinarian bombing what severe response. Even if there is a real response within days the Israelis offer more concessions. They have chosen the liberal version of suicide and unless they change course they will experience it.
There are some lines the Palestinians have never dared cross. Once they cross certain lines Israeli anger would be too great to contain. Oh, and yes, our government has been way too timid at times.
