it pains me to write this, but if israel does not finish the job of eliminating all tunnels and all missiles and manufacturing facilities and hamas infrastructure this time, then the next war will be much more difficult and the loss of precious life this time will have been for naught.

With whom is Israel supposed to negotiate ? Whith an entity that calls for its destruction ? Let the hamas entity publicly declare in arabic to its people that it renounces all violence, renounces incitement, and recognizes the eternal right of jews to live in israel.
