There is a case to be made that Netanyahu, in order to hold onto his title, has made so many compromises with West Bank settler aligned parties, his cabinet took their eyes off the ball with Hamas in Gaza. I don’t know enough to say whether this is true, but others have said it and I see the logic. The more desperate a leader is to hold onto power, the worse his decisions will be, because he will compromise any principle to maintain his grip.

They strategically roadside bombs, explosive belts, mines, booby traps, and anti-tank fire along the roadways," Brick said.

So take a page from Desert Storm.

The whole damn place is a desert (from what I've seen) suitable for a cross-country advance avoiding roadways.

Raghead bastards can't mine the entire region.

But what do I know - I was a sailor.

I understand the general’s caution, but without troops on the ground in Gaza, how would Israel ever dismantle the huge tunnel system constructed by Hamas? Bunker buster bombs cannot penetrate 200 feet into the ground. This is a big problem.

Curtis LeMay would know how to deal with Gaza.

He suggested that Israel continue its aerial strikes on Gaza “rather than a ground incursion into their territory."

That's the smartest thing to do. Then mine the Gaza border. Lick their wounds and move on.

People living in Gaza is not sustainable. There should be a conversation in the United Nations about the Muslim nations accepting the refugees. But we know that won't happen.

He’s really going to disclose his military advice to the media? This is disinformation.

They have more soldiers than weapons. They are waiting on a supply. This is according to Amir Tsarfati
