Let us mirror NATO policy and leave not a single man, woman or child alive in Gaza. Israel will annex Gaza permanently, and will restore it to lush, fertile and beautiful land, as we did between 1967 and 2005. It is time for the decent people of the world to turn and tell the Islamists that we will no longer tolerate Stone Age behavior. They will either behave themselves, or we will make sure they never threaten anyone again. Not even Putin will disabuse them of that notion -- he's too busy gathering up and adding to his personal wealth, which reaches into the hundreds of billions. Yeah. Hundreds of billions. That's your linchpin against him.

Does the Pentagon comprise only of Leftists morons or Arabs?

Without Hamas the region will be in a vacuum of power and leadership with a weak civilization. Perhaps it is time to think ahead. Something has got to give in the end in order to make order from this situation. Either Egypt takes responsibility of this partial of land, or Israel or the West Bank authority. OR transfer the people elsewhere and Israel takes this land. Hamas is only destroying it anyway.

Well, let's see: the "removal" of HITLER led to the healing of Germany; but you are saying that Israel should maintain the pain of Hamas, because what might come after the hamas-ite parasites could be ISIS? Just wait till the jihad hits us full force right here in America: you'll be eating your words. Sçhmuçks.

Is there coming something worse if hamas lose? Worse for whom? For the Gazans? Well if they get something worse there might be civil unrest in the strip, and in what way would that be bad for Israel? In no way, just the contrary.

So the intention of the US is becoming clearer & clearer. First, Kerry (Guy Smiley) came down on the side of the terrorist group, hamas. Now the so called Intelligence of the US says in essence, Israel might as well lay down its defense and accept hamas because Isis might come in. Wake up call dummies! Isis is in and you idiots (US) might as well bring your drones home because when you wipe out your enemies, someone worse is going to come in. And this is US intelligence. Not really, this is only the true colors of the US government coming out, which adds up to its hatred of Israel.

Israel will just have to carpet bomb Gaza once and for all. There are no innocent civilians living in Gaza momentarily. If the Torah calls them 'human beasts' that's what they are and beasts in the form of human beings are not civilians.

with usa & eu on side-lines, Israel seems the only civilized country stepping-up

They are allied to ISIS operating in Sinai (and firing Grads at Eilat). Hmas are allied to Al Qaida too and mourned the death of Osama bin Laden. ISIS are evil, but so are Hamas. ISIS would not be worse.

I wrote some days ago - "Obama has sent Kerry to save Hamas". I Quote - Pentagon warns more dangerous elements could replace Hamas US intelligence official cautions removal of Hamas may lead to 'something like ISIS', additionally states peace in not around the corner. Comment - Seems right . And Israel shoud replace Hamas. Arn

maybe you wil be right but we have G-d ! and good army so we are not afraid this is what israel make strong and victorious - faith ! Lubavicher Rebbe in every war said " there is no so secure place as Israel, G-ds eyes are on Israel constantly" and everytime he was right ! today it is the same !

Those who bless Israel will be blessed. In G-D we trust.

Last week the EU foreign ministers unanimously agreed that "All the terrorist groups in Gaza must be disarmed." Only Kerry demurs and this general gives the silly explanation. This is yet another of the catastrophic misjudgments of this US administration in one country after another across the Middle East.

Yes, the Pentagon should know this very well since taking out Saddam, Iraq has become a powder keg waiting to go off. So, what is Israel to do, nothing?

why not Israel take care of Hamas and U.S. take care of ISIS ? (Israel can do it by itself when Obama stop "calling all sides for restraint"... )

ISIS would inflict a worse version of Islam on Gazans. Hamas are the same terrorists as ISIS and Israel should get rid of them and their terrorist infrastructure as much as the situation allows.

There is no difference between Hamas & ISIS. Both are extremist Islamic terror groups. Both want a caliphate & suppress human rights & oppress women. Both want to eliminate Israel. The best result if Hamas were eliminated would be to return the PA to power. Recent polls have shown Gazans are fed-up with Hamas & want the PA back.

Let IDF do the job, than no ISIS will or other terror organization will be able to replace Hamas.

I am sure glad I am counting on God. There is and will be no doubt worse is coming whether it includes Hamas or not.
