"...the impoverished coastal strip..."

What a load of B.S. It's impoverished because it's political figures have concentrated for fifty years on destroying Israel, and thereby their own chances for economic progress.

Israeli infantry troops and their military dog receive a briefing just before they move into the southern part of the Gaza Strip, near Israeli Kibbutz of Kerem Shalom. The United States offered support for Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip, blamed Hamas for the incursion, and urged the Palestinian militant group to free a captured Israeli soldier.(AFP/Menahem Kahana)

why not 'kidnap' instead? That's how they play the game. Send in the mercinaries that won't play by the rules.

I understand the concept of dehumanizing your enemy for battle but in this case the mind doesn't need to stretch too far.

Tape hasn't been released yet. This is a report about a possible report. Might be a couple of days.

Even in my most generous moments, I have a hard time thinking of these people as human. One of my many shortcomings, I suppose.

mine too!

Isn't that what it is all about -- making them lose face so that they wont do it again?

The defeat has to be a true defeat otherwise they will do it again and again.

This may be oversimplifying the situation but it seems logical to me.

UPDATE the latest news is that the IDF is distributing flyers in northern Gaza, warning residents in Beit Hanun to leave their homes. Israel is so concerned about Palestinian civilians, they are giving them advance warning. Afterwards, the Air Force fired missiles into a southern Gaza warehouse used to manufacture and store weapons for Hamas.

They need to learn to spell. Then again, English may not be their first language.

Nope, they want this to happen. They will take out Abbas over this. Remember, their leadership is no where near the fighting. Their leadership is in Syria and Iran.

Israel has already warned Syria with that fly over that they can get the leadership. They've made the trip to Iran before, too. Even if they leave the leadership alive, what good are leaders with no soldiers because they've all been killed or captured?

What goes around comes around.

If you act like uncivilized animals, then you will be treated like uncivilized animals.
