I know you won't agree with me but I feel Israel should have 1) allowed the airport to operate in Gaza 2) allowed them to have a port 3) connected Palestinians areas in the West Bank and to Gaza. Sure there would be some violence but eventually it would settle down as Palestinians could focus on opportunity, both with Israel and the rest of the World.
Some say that most arms and stuff get into Gaza on trucks and Israelis that look the other way. I believe it. The tunnels are mostly about getting out and black market stuff.
I am horrified by all the deaths. But those seven 21-year-old Israelis is exactly the kind of thing I predicted when Israel entered Gaza. A whole generation of young Israelis will be traumatized by the unwinnable war Netanyahu and his Zionist nutjobs have put them through. Those parents will not stay silent the rest of their lives.
Think about it, most reservists in the IDF were tapping away on their laptop last year. They are in NO shape to battle those who have been trained to fight their whole lives (because again, there was nothing else to do).
