Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu usually goes for the measured response and does it on his own schedule and not an immediate knee-jerk action!

Israel is prepared, there is no need to contemplate a 'when' date, this is all politics and someone should nuke islam.

period.

War is coming and it would be over or half over by now if W had nuked Afghanistan.

I’d like to see a measured response: the number of terrorists they kill should be proportionate, so that those who support terrorism value the lives of the dead terrorists as much as the Israelis value the lives of the dead civilians. In other words, they should kill every terrorist in every known terrorist training camp, for starters.

Considering that Israel is the superpower of the Middle East, and they could go all-out by rights, yet, they do it in a measured manner.

Lost in the conversation is the fact that one of these kids was an American citizen. To me, this requires a punitive, retaliatory response from the US.

Once again, the first duty of the President is to protect our citizens. Anything short of a punitive response is abdicating this duty, and inviting further transgressions against our citizens, IMHO.
