I hear that those Gazans dig terror tunnels.
I hear that those Gazans use their own children as human shields, forcing Israel to shoot them.
The next operation against Gaza will take at least $4.5 billion, I should think.

And that says nothing of the money required to do peacekeeping work in the West Bank, esp. around those areas where new settlements are being introduced.
