"Hostages and civilian casualties will be secondary to destroying Hamas, Economy Minister Nir Barakat told ABC News, "even if it takes a year.""

Fucking hell.

There's no way that invading and indiscriminately killing anyone and destroying everything in their way could backfire and create more terrorists!

Forget terrorists, this will certainly provoke Hezbollah and Iran. Arab people throughout the region too, though their governments are much less interested in opposing Pax Americana

Well, I’m sure they will continue their careful and considerate approach to safeguarding Palestinian lives, and working to fostering goodwill to their neighbors while they work to identify and systematically remove Hamas, then call for new fair and free elections.

Or they’ll just glass the place.

Yeah, probably the second one.

No wonder Hamas took hostage, but unfortunately for them, they're dealing with bigger monster than what they are.
