No other nation other than Israel would put up with this persistent and ongoing incitement, polluting the Israeli border communities with the carcogenic tyre smoke and the incendery balloons etc. This Gazan affront to the integrity of the border, their desire to do everything to cause the IDF to respond with deadly fire has only been met with a very limited IDF response; is it not about time that this so called low level war from Gaza is now dealt with in the only way Hamas understands. That of sanitising the border area on the Gaza side to a few hundred metres and then any smoke and incendery devices will be limited to their own side of the border?
why did the IDF shoot only three? No matter what Israel does it will never gain world sympathy, so shoot them all and stop trying to be the "good guy".
Why not order all deliveries of fuel and goods to the Gaza Strip ONLY on Fridays, with the provision that there are no riots that day? The connection is clear and unmistakable and it would be difficult for anyone to argue against stopping the deliveries if rioting occurs, with a good chance that the rioting would cease altogether given the consequence of stopping all deliveries.
israel allows hamas islamists to terrorise israel's population, invade her territory, destroy her agricultural lands, and destroy her nature preserves and forests. one should not be surprised that the europeans remain silent since they remained silent throughout the syrian genocide. they scream bloody murder about climate change but are indifferent to human disasters caused by war and terror. the europeans have neither shame nor conscience since they do not even care about their own civilian populations, many of the girls and women, but not exclusively. israel cannot follow the example of europe. we understand that the government and the military are anxious about the situation in the north, but without doubt the shia terrorists will wait until israel is exhausted by the situation in the south. we have waited so long that now russia is ensconced in syria and in the eastern mediterranean. at this point, russia is present even in eastern lybia while in the united states all eyes are turned to false sexual allegations and the november elections.
