You misunderstand my outlook; and my outlook does give me pause; BUT


The Israeli's will eventually kill innocents. If not in this case in another. Its how war works. Mistakes are made. People who deserve better die. Usually by the 1000s. The hospital is in Gaza City. The Israelis have ordered civilians to leave Gaza City. That's not a whim. Anyone who stays too long is likely going to die. the Israelis have accepted that reality. I have too..

Look at the big picture. The Israeli's can't starve everyone. In addition to moral implications; it would take too long and alienate the US public. The Israeli's don't want to fight street by street, tunnel by tunnel. Too deadly.

What can they do? Make the problem smaller. Turn the no go zone between Gazans and Israelis from a few hundred yards to 1 full mile of waste. Cut the Northern half of the strip off and turn it into a gravel parking lot. To be honest, if the Israeli's could pump the Mediterranean Sea into Gaza City and turn Gaza City into a modern day Atlantis; they'd happily do so.

Will they end Hamas? Not easily. They'd eventually need to take page from Hamas' book and launch a surprise attack. They would need the PA or at least the Egypt to participate and that isn't happening in the current environment.

So that take what they can take and lives their lives and wait.
