I was wondering the same thing. What makes people so blind to the repercussions of their actions? Religion? Hatred? Revenge? Brainwashing?
Perhaps the true Puppet Master has yet to reveal themselves.

Again the old "Israel does not want to limit civilian casualties" thing. Given their overwhelming military superiority and material, do you really think that the death toll could not be higher if they chose? At this point in time, they have no interest in taking over the state of Gaza...just eradicating the terrorist scum who run it. Hopefully gaza improves under the next government.
They want to get civilians killed and then drag in other Arab nations into a massive conflict with Israel.
who are these terrorist sympathizers you are referring to? i've not seen a single post in here condoning what Hamas has done and i'm sure if there were the mods would have dealt with it pretty quickly.
calling someone a terrorist sympathizer because they want verification of an absolutely horrific story that's emerging is beyond childish, it's downright shameful.
That's the only other thing I could think of. Sacrifice civilians on both sides and drag other sympathetic states in along with probably the US and get a nice bloody west/middle east conflict going
The plan seems rather inadequate, given the lack of unity among Arab nations regarding Hamas. Some may grow weary of the individuals drawn to such a mindset, and this lack of cohesion poses a potential threat to stable government wherever groups like Hamas exist.
And they will try to minimise civilian casualties as they have always done. However, this time it will not be at the expense of the lives of Israeli soldiers. Any idea of proportion has now been thrown out of the window. Go see what happened in Afghanistan post 9/11.
Israel has a mission. Destroy Hamas and it's terror network of tunnels. Within those parameters, they will try to minimise civilian casualties but not at the expense of Israeli soldiers.
Hamas should know that there will not be any negotiation...Israel is overthrowing Hamas and despite lip service, have essentially written off the hostages. They will attempt rescue where they can but are operating under the assumption that they are all dead.
This is interesting if true, read the 'exit poll' section under 'Conduct'. Hamas won the election mainly on a platform of battling corruption (I suppose fanatics are more likely to stick to holy rules that brand such behaviour as immoral and people are desperate when corruption is rife).
Exit poll from the election in 2006:
Also, most Palestinians in Gaza did not support Hamas' terrorist aims (despite electing them) and wanted them to change and recognise Israel's right to exist and to engage in a peaceful and cooperative manner:

Unfortunately Hamas then did a military coup and removed their opposition, but it is illegal and immoral to punish people collectively, particularly when they have no means to correct the mistake:

Do they think it through though? ISIS was very succesful in fuelling terrorism across the world, and even though thousands have died since then, the problem hasn't gone away.

You'd have to be very special to think any of the countries in the middle east could stop or even be a road bump for the us military
Us held back in the war on terrorism.
It could level most of the middle east bringing it to the stone age without having breaking aa sweat

Arguably what should be done.
Seems Israel are not going to mess about here. Go in hard soon with tens of thousands of troops. I think its the only option after mass slaughter by terrorists.
I'm just saying we need to be careful about spreading false information.
Can't the stone age be rendered from the sky?
I've been reading this article and watching the video of the IDF General talking about the discovery of bodies of families, including children, being butchered in an Isis way.
I'm not sure of the specific story of 40 babies killed in one act. But going around doing similar damage to entire families makes it more likely that something as already happened.
The line of depravity was already crossed before we heard about babies.
I can only assume that Hamas did their attack in order to want Israel to retaliate so hard that other Muslim countries join the fight. They don't seem to care of the price that other people living in Gaza as to pay.
Doesn't Hamas realise China has Muslims in concentration camps and no Muslim country is retaliating, some are making economic deals with China.

It's all **** really.
That's all it is.
You have these terrorist factions and retaliatory actions killing countless innocents.
I'd have more sympathy for Israels actions of it wasn't indiscriminate targeting.
I'd love to just say "leave them to it" but I'm guessing the vast majority are just normal people wanting to get on with thier lives.

That's always the question.
I imagine in 1946 when the Irgun blew up the British Embassy who were stopping the illegal migration onto Palestinian land when it was British controlled never saw themselves as terrorists.
They had confrontations with but we're later Integrated into the IDF (after they assassinated a UN Peace Envoy).
It's a very, very complex region and difficult to identify any party without blood on their hands.
