The message is that Israel gov doesn't have it, like Donald vs Iran

Every time this happens it emboldens jihadis around the world
2. THIS REMINDS ME :
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (11.06.19)
Israel routinely " ALMOSTS " destroys its enemies with its " ALMOST" attacks . Years ago , I " ALMOST " became a millionaire ,I had one dollar and only needed another $999 ,999 and I would have been a millionaire.
3. THE NEXT STEP
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (11.06.19)
The I.D.F. will be issuing all soldiers with water pistols.
4. " EMPTY POST "
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (11.06.19)
I always thought ' Empty Post ' was a day in which I received no mail .
5. Just like Shadow Boxing .

6. The Psychology behind this :
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (11.06.19)
Israelis, if they were truly ruthless ,would have totally destroyed enemies long ago. However, israelis whether consciously or subconsciously desire to live peacefully alongside Hamas and other enemies one day ,which is one of the reasons it acts with restraint and " pulls its punches ." The thinking is : '" one day we will have to co-exist with these people ."
7. The only thing these people are
Naor ,   Haifa   (11.06.19)
Afraid of is power and strength.Taking out a building or Hama's post with people inside will send a stronger message of curtailing their attacks then blowing up an empty outside toilet.They want to see how far they can go with their rockets- now is the time to change the game.Otherwise they just see us as a toy they can play with.
8. Time for leaders to pay cash for wasted weaponry.not taxes
(11.07.19)
These attacks cost 1,000,000s for the missiles and such. If the leadership refuses to destroy the Israeli Isis they should start paying for it themselves instead of using taxmoney to hit empty buildings.
9. People starve and $millions wasted hitting empty buildings?
(11.07.19)
10. An armchair General's strategy. Pointless.
(11.07.19)
I guess Israel is just waiting for a rocket to cause fatalities- then, and only then, will it feel justified in a seriously lethal attack on Hamas.

What does that say about the leadership, who's willing to let a few Israelis die in order to gain 'approval' from the foreign Israel-bashers?

When rockets land in Israel, Sinwar's office, home, shelter, should be bombed into dust, while Sinwar is in them. That is a very simple concept to understand. The leaders are responsible and will pay the price for attacking another country.

Any commanding officer who's willing to let a few civilians get killed in order to prove Israel's 'restraint' needs to be fired. Nothing should be coming from Gaza. Nothing.
