cut Bad Guys with exact addresses, but there's always One Israel that can be bombed, blown to pieces by every passing piece of Islamic thrash with almost total impunity! "Measured responses"/clever declarations is what depicts us in the eyes of Islamofascists & antisemites of this world.

Turn 10 kilometers of Syrian soil on the other side of the Israeli border into a wasteland. Then we'll have a clear and unobstructed view. If civilians get in the way -- too bad for them. Wasn't that the NATO playbook in Afghanistan and Iraq? They'd go after one small group of insurgents and kill tens of thousands of civilians in the process. To the tune of over one million Afghani civilians and over a million Iraqi civilians. And those insurgents weren't threatening civilians in New York or Washington or London or Leeds or Paris or Lyon or anyplace near a NATO country (Turkey doesn't count; they refuse to participate in any NATO military actions that would cause them to take up arms against their brother Moslems). If they don't have to worry about civilian deaths, neither do we. It's really all that simple.

so far hamas has only received slight slaps. but hit syria 1 or 2 more time harshly. a lesson they will not forget for a while. anything less is worthless.

There is only one problem: Israel has no heavy bombers.

whether it's the killing of this boy, or the kidnapping of the 3 teenagers, or the civil war in syria, the army will do what is necessary. but the most pressing issue for israel, at the moment, is iran's nuclear program. because nothing else poses as great an existential threat to the entire state of israel. and everything else is just a distraction.

when you're on the receiving end, an f16 is "heavy" enough. the idf is more than capable of doing what is necessary, but the orders have to come from the government.

Don't need them. Several squadrons of light bombers carrying very large payloads will do the trick. Although it would be nice to add a B-52 to Israel's arsenal, wouldn't it? Still the best bomber ever made, bar none. Another option would be to deliver a nuclear payload. You don't need a mega-kiloton warhead to accomplish what needs to get done -- and it really isn't going to be terribly problematic. It won't release even a tenth of the radiation which Chernobyl did, or a fraction of the radiation which the Japanese knowingly pumped directly into the ocean from the Fukushima reactor. Prevailing winds will take the emissions across Syria and directly into Turkey. Oh well. Into each life a little rain must fall. In the case of Syria and Turkey .... black rain. Still won't amount to the radiation which Chernobyl sent into Western Europe; nor will it amount to the radiation released by the Fukushima reactor debacle. Given the remarkable silence from the international community with respect to the wanton massacre of civilians by NATO, we can turn a deaf ear to any international fallout (pun intended).

8 not mine.
