Honestly, I don't see a choice. Staging a terrorist incursion and then withdrawing with 100 hostages, if that stays Israel's hand on fighting back... it will become standard procedure for future attacks, of which there would be many and frequent.

If I was the leader in Israel, I would reply back, "For every Jewish hostage you kill, we will kill 10,000 Palestinians. Let's go.

Hamas WANTS Israel to kill scores of civilians.

Better solution might be to quickly introduce death penalty for terrorism, and then say: for every dead hostage we execute 500 Hamas terrorists in our prisons. These are the guys Hamas wants to free. For every mistreated, tortured, raped hostage, we execute 100 Hamas terrorists in our prisons. For every hostage paraded on TV, we execute 10 Hamas terrorists in our prisons.

Sounds good to me. Maybe sew them up in a pigskin first. Newly captured Hamas go to the head of the list after what they did recently.

I heard someone mention that if you went by the number killed versus total population butchering 1,000 Israelis was the equivalent of killing 20,000 Americans.

Read this today in a National Newspaper.

Arab League foreign ministers are set to meet to discuss 'the Israeli aggression' against Gaza, the group said.

Wow, "Israeli Aggression?", shouldn't that be "Israeli Retaliation?", those Arabs sure do speak with forked tongues, I just love how they've spun it in the Palestinians favour, that must be one of the reasons the "Arab League" is viewed as the laughing stock of the world, just like the "UN" and the "WHO" is.

It looks as if Israel will not only be fighting the Palestinians but fighting a Media war as well.

That would work for me

But meanwhile, down on the ranch...

Quote:
The EU has been plunged into a diplomatic row after an announcement that it was to suspend “all payments” to Palestinians as a result of Hamas’s attacks on Israel led to clashes with several member states including Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands.

After six hours scrambling for an explanation the European Commission appeared to backpedal on an announcement made by the commissioner for neighbourhood and enlargement, Olivér Várhelyi, saying: “There will be no suspension of payments” – but muddied the waters by saying there were “no payments foreseen”.

I've read that when using the UK as the comparator the figure is 5000

Of course 260,000 illegals crossed our border in September so our number would ever be climbing upward.

Just imagine if 5% of those are planning/involved in bad stuff.

That's 13,000 in a Month. Now go on for 12 months!
That's 156,000 invaders!

Seen some truly disgusting video footage online today, much of it involving the brutal slaying of children and babies.

The piece below of these two animals at work isn't anywhere near as bad.

I say spend the billions of dollars to bomb them back into the Stone Age.
Might only set them back a few decades but well worth the cost.
Some Humans don't deserve to live!

The four nations including Ireland who blocked EU suspending funds to Palestine.

Spain, Denmark, Ireland and Luxembourg have been named as the countries which rejected a move by the European Commission to put more than $728 million of aid under review.

Most surprisingly in my eyes is the fact that Britain is also still willing to continue providing aid for Palestine.
