Bibi seems to have overlooked the fact that we will need a much much higher wall around Gaza to keep the balloons and kites out of Israel. Put that in your plans too. Now lets see. What will be left for the yeshiva students?

total up all the Gaza wars and flareups- 200 dead, thousand wounded, rockets, mortars and now significant destruction of Israeli farmland and nature reserves and disruption of the life of 1/2-1 million southern Israelis..

various talk-backs say that bibi is weak, not really an attacking soldier, and who is frankly gutless. His performance in protective edge was abysmal-it was as if he didn't show up. and shapira took him to task for it.

would it not be easier to decisively rout Hamas in 1 larger war to get a truce for 10-15 years rather than get a series of never ending confrontations.

well bibi made comments that were reported in the media roughly this way if memory serves me correctly. assuming they were accurately reported- one has to consider the cost of action, the cost of war, the heavy and terrible cost, so one should reduce the heavy toll by choosing less costly options ie truce options. it is always true to weigh costs but not if the life of the nation is on the line. the defense of Israel is sacrosanct. the leader must do whatever it takes, mobilize the entire armed forces and reserve and fight like hell to beat the adversary.

Israel has to have a leader who does not think this way because he will inevitably embolden the enemy, force concessions on israel and lead to never ending warfare.

choose Bennett in the next election to take care of Israel.

if nasrollah sent 15000 motorized troops to take over a northern town, plant a flag in it, declare it syrian and hold the residents as bargaining chips,what do you think netanyahu would do???? ask the Goldin family what he has done so far.

I completely agree with the premise. Just wish it didn't have to come from
my (our) pocket.
