I think that the Jewish State of Israel’s intention should be and possibly is to “Let palestinian
terrorists and supporters know that there is a room -1- for taking Gaza back to cave era”, and
-2- for leaving the newly displaced Gazans in tent-cities along the Egypt border, and
-3- for as long as it takes for their existing rulers (Hamas, Fatah, etc.) or new rulers to both:
– [a] – Release the abducted hostages and – [b] – Accept a peace agreement with the Jewish State of Israel.
