59. so this is nothing more than a numbers game

Hamas sends terrorists into Israel and kills 1000 or 1200... men, women, children... and if the IDF in response kills X thousand then that is "fair". So now what? Israel should just withdraw and let Hamas rebuild?

And your statement that "Netanyahu has made it clear that he is not stopping till all Palestinians are gone" is simply wrong. At the current rate of death in Gaza, and assuming no one has babies, it would take 20 years to kill everyone. I don't like Bibi at all. I hope that Israel removes him from power... anytime now will do. And I hope that after the IDF kills as many Hamas as they can get their hands on... I hope both sides return to peace talks and 2 state or 3 state solution.

but right now... Hamas must be hunted down and killed or arrested.
