This article boils down to simply saying Hamas will now have to live peacefully with Israel, or else the whole world will discover just how murderous Hamas really is. Hamas will have no more excuses for its own intentions and behavior.

So... What will all these previously ignorant nations/peoples of the world DO once they see Hamas really means it when they call for the extermination of the Jews? Wring their hands about all the dead Jews, and send in Jimmy Carter? (Actually, they probably won't care enough to wring their hands...)

I hate to say it, but the author was trying too hard to find a silver lining in this cloud. Anyone with eyes to see ALREADY knows Hamas is dedicated to the violent end of Israel, and that they really mean it. Making the obvious even MORE obvious is pointless.

Or, in a more Machievellian sense, Israel will now have the justification to impose a biblical solution on the so-called Palestinians if they continue to murder its citizens.

Let's just hope they have the cojones to pull it off ... they need to tell the rest of the world (including our vaunted State Department) to STFU while they take care of business and eliminate this cancer from the face of the earth.

Bibi, are you listening???

What will happen is that Israel will not be criticized as much for going after these guys.
