It was a difficult decision but ultimately not one that stops the Israelis from offense or defense. Israel cannot root out all of Hamas to destroy them in Gaza. Instead it will have to be done by cutting off the heads of their leaders harboring in safe nations. Much like the Mossad did after the Munich massacres. Killing more civilians doesn’t accomplish a thing except to bring scorn and derision on Israel and its claims of purity , justice, democracy and humanity
