1....I am not in a position to argue... But I will:<br /><br />1. Bibi did not start this. No way did he want this. What choice did he have?<br /><br />2. He wanted to finish earlier. Much, much earlier. He couldn't. Hamas carried on till they ran out of rockets. <br /><br />3. The tunnels. Might not all be destroyed. Yes, they may build the new ones. Still, the immediate threat of a massive nightmare terror attack is - as a minimum - postponed. <br /><br />4. I am not sure there are any options other than to cease fire. Hamas does not want to fight any more - they don't have anything to shoot with. Israel would be framed as a villain even more than it already is. I can't think of any government other than Canada that hasn't condemned Israel. Canada does not have a veto in the UN.BHChnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-52307672145221464632014-08-06T02:33:27.314+03:002014-08-06T02:33:27.314+03:00There's still capes.There's still capes.LouiseShahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-50577087559845199742014-08-06T01:29:13.438+03:002014-08-06T01:29:13.438+03:00I am a firm believer that if you do not like a pol...I am a firm believer that if you do not like a policy or idea or proposal, you need to more than be critical of it.
