Operation Protective Edge may look like its predecessors--Operation Cast Lead in 2008-9 and Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012--in that it is a response to Palestinian terrorism launched from Gaza against Israeli civilians.

Targeting Dimona? Big mistake. Buckle up.
One can hope. I hope they finish the job this time.
Wipe out HamAss once and for all.
Good article. The scary part is who else in the Middle East might step in to help HAMAS? Will Turkey get involved? How about the Russians?

The US needs to step in and help Israel!
The only problem with this hope, is that Arab Terrorist groups are sort of like the Greek figure Hydra.
You cut off it’s head and two more grow in it’s place.
How can you put an end to terrorism, when the whole populace is indoctrinated from birth to think of the Israelis, or more specifically the Jews, as evil animals?
Terrorism against Israel will end when Christ comes to reclaim the Earth as His own, and remake it. That may not be the rosy ending the Jews look for, if they have rejected Him and salvation through faith.
Israel has my full support until such time. If Israel were playing the role we see the Arab terrorists playing, I would be against it too. I don’t believe it is, therefore I support it over the evil hordes.
Not with Obama & Kerry in the theater!
It will be hard for Obama to try to save Hamas than it used to be for others who had safed Arafat.
Interesting analysis, but I still think the Usual Suspects will ride to Hamas’s rescue. Sadly, this includes the United States. The question is: will Israel give in to the pressure? Time will tell.
I think Obama’s multitude of failures makes it far harder for him to say, “Hey, stop. Trust me. I’ll fix this problem.” He has no credibility on this or any other matter.
The behavior of ISIS in Iraq makes it a lot harder to paint Muslims as warm, fuzzy, peace-loving people.
Of course, not that Obama and his ilk let facts or common sense get in the way of their policies.....
You will keep getting terrorists for as long as somebody is paying them to commit acts of terror. There is an effectively unlimited supply of fighters, provided they get paid.
You don't target the fighters. You discover and target their sources of financial support.

Hamas is a jihadist death cult and needs to be taken out.
Paging Mr. Obvious...
The Russians ?
Seriously ? Why in the hell would Putin help Hamas ?
All true, but we’ve seen their behavior plain jane al Qaeda for sometime and historically much of Islam’s history has these types of techniques for proselytizing.
Too many ignorant posts above in this thread.
Guys, here is a primer on the M-E:
#1: Hamas is Sunni and Arabian
#2: Hamas is at war *against* Assad in Syria, against al-Sisi in Egypt, and is aligned *with* ISIL inside Iraq and Libya
#3: Hezbollah is Shi’ite (Arabian and Persian) and is aligned *with* Assad in Syria and the Ayatollahs in Iran
#4: Iran is Persian and Shi’ite
#5: Sunnis hate Shi’ites
#6: Arabs hate Persians
#7: Chechens are at war against Russians, and are in Iraq, in Syria, and are allied with ISIL
There’s more...but tossing out random theories on who will do what in the M-E is worse than guessing if you aren’t factoring in the above 7 key points of the M-E.
