The key is not the terrorists. They are stuck in their ways. The real key is the international media --- who are hardly neutral observers as they like to pretend. The international leftist media are essential players in this melodrama.
Put it this way -- do you really think that the Arab civilians in Gaza are volunteering to be human shields for Hamas? Some of the biggest fanatics, maybe -- but how many of Gaza's 1.4 million civilians are really prepared to die, along with their families, when Israel inevitably retaliates against thousands of Hamas rockets? How many Gaza Arabs care less for their children than for their masters? How many would flee from Gaza if Hamas let them?
In fact, it is the media themselves who are criminally complicit in the internment of Gaza's civilians in the line of fire. They could stop the terrorists simply by headlining Hamas' responsibility for the plight of the Arabs of Gaza, over and over again. That's the real story --- if only they could headline the facts right in front of their eyes. But they don't.
That shows us the real values of CNN and BBC; morally they are no better than the terrorists. The media are essential to the Kabuki play of terror, response, and renewed terror. They are constantly fanning the flames.

It’s 7:00 AM. I thought the headline said “The Media Collude in Terrorist Crimes against Hannity”.
Interesting question I saw elsewhere this morning; “Why are there no bomb shelters in Gaza?”
They voted Hamas in, they can die with Hamas as far as I'm concerned.
Reportedly, hamas has fired 10,000 rockets into Israel. Wouldn’t a “proportionate” response be for Israel to fire 10,000 munitions into Gaza? Preferably in a short period of time.
Follow his path, share his fate.
AC that Wikipedia entry on J. Speicher is very informative about his end at the hands of the Allies:
The consensus among eyewitnesses was that the hanging of Julius Streicher did not proceed as planned, and that he did not receive the quick death from spinal severing typical of the other executions at Nuremberg. Howard K. Smith, who covered the executions for the International News Service, reported that Streicher “went down kicking” which may have dislodged the hangman’s knot from its ideal position. Smith stated that Streicher could be heard groaning under the scaffold after he dropped through the trap-door, and that the executioner intervened under the gallows, which was screened by wood panels and a black curtain, to finish the job.[16] U. S. Army Master Sergeant John C. Woods was the main executioner, and not only insisted he had performed all executions correctly, but stated he was very proud of his work. Critics have said that the length of the ropes was too short for the circumstances as recommended by standard gallows technique, increasing the chances of the prisoners strangling rather than expiring instantly, and that the trap doors were too small, causing many of the condemned to suffer facial lacerations and bruises while falling through the trap.
