That seems to be the likely scenario. It is sad that no method can be found to eliminate Hamas short of total destruction of Gaza. And, once the military operations are over, more Gazans will die of disease and squalor than by war. Since this was all easily foreseeable, I just can't understand...

They can start with a six-week basic training course. That will put them in good shape and cure any diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol.

mock an elderly Holocaust survivor taken hostage by Hamas sounds disgusting in itself. Poor man or woman may be in her nineties or even older. What sense in dragging him/her? It is almost like Hamas is walking around with a sign 'destroy me, if you can'.

You have an exaggerated opinion of them. They mostly talk a lot of hot air. Real policy is done old fashioned way - interest group push and pull.

As ugly or uglier than our Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. There is some detail of what it entails here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12626805/Inside-Gaza-Metro-Hamas-secret-labyrinth-tunnels-militants-plan-operations-launch-attacks-Israel.html

If you erase all the religious stuff, these two men seem to present "U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East for Dummies". That might help explain why this Gaza war has morphed from Israel-Hamas war to Israel + USA vs. Hamas war. In reality, we have to add a dose of seasoning of post 9/11...

Onion is a parody site. Also, Bible Thumpers can be unpleasant, but the body count they have scored is zero, unlike ISIS.

I think the python has swallowed too much of pig to spit it out. They have to remove Hamas at any cost from Gaza, including laying it to waste. Otherwise, just imagine if there is another Hamas attack. they will be compelled to nuke it then.

That doesn't seem like good value for losing Gaza. I set fire to my house, but hey look at these roasted marshmallows.

Hamas's actions have made them all blind, deaf and mute to the unfolding catastrophe. They all seem to want to get rid of Hamas at any cost.

I think the fine print seems to suggest it is 'our' (U.S.) war too now. If so, at least go through a proforma Congressional authorization like we did for Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Let the State department make statements that they tried to get a hold of Hamas without Armageddon but were not...

You think anyone reads junk tweets and makes 'policy'? There are more tweeters than roaches on the planet.

You have to become an Amish farmer:

The question is, since Hamas is the government of Gaza, does it care for Gazans? Does it really like to prevent Gaza from becoming the next Yemen or Afghanistan?

Most of the world that is mutely watching the unfolding events and signaling their approval by silence surely have no love for Hamas. They seem sufficiently disgusted by Hamas to allow what is happening by using a blindfold on their eyes.

Is there no other method to destroy Hamas without vaporizing Gaza? No one loves Hamas, but to sacrifice a couple of hundred thousand innocents seems senseless.

I am not OK. I am shocked and puzzled that the world is not even making much of an attempt to prevent the unfolding catastrophe. Usually, there will be some diplomatic initiatives, some attempts at compromise etc., In the end, they may all fail, and war may become inevitable. In this instance I...

I think it has nothing to do with religion but national psychology. 9/11 has affected us so deeply that any act of terror, especially as gory as we saw with the videos showing women being carried away and mass murder has caused us to completely log off. So, if Gaza has to be vaporized to...

Not just USA or West, there is nary a peep from the world. There was a lot of antiwar sentiment prior to and during Iraq war. Lot of antiwar politics with Vietnam war. But this time, everyone has pressed snooze and gone to sleep. My guess is Hamas did such a bang-up job that world has turned...

Most of us will be left behind as there are only 144,000 seats on the plane to heaven.
