Where else would Hamas fight? 24 X 4 miles with 1.5 million people leaves no realestate to fight on. Anyway it seems that plenty of fighting took place on the outskirts of populated areas. Does the IDF want Hamas to line up against the security fence and wait for white phosphorus bombs to burn them?

blood in their hands for encouraging and defending the criminals Hamas .....

Hamas was operating out of civilians' personal HOMES. This has nothing to do with the larger geography, no matter how small.

Jared (#3) in Stillwater writes, "Where else would Hamas fight? 24x4 miles with 1.5 million people leaves no realestate to fight on." Wrong on several counts. The Strip is actually 7.5 miles at its widest point. And while Gaza City is quite crowded, there is plenty of open area. All those former Jewish settlements are open areas and, in fact, many have been turned into training camps. Its eastern flank and northern border are also open areas. But to use them would leave them without their precious human shields.

all here are small talks, Eight years Israel ask to stop need more time to get it, Just don't mess with the Jews, you will get back 100 time fold, 13 for 1300. get a place and live and let live, remember, this time Israel will not wait 8 years

So - now we have the military providing political propaganda. Is this not incompatible with democracy ? Sorry - now I understand !
