Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent: ANALYSIS / Hamas is playing the brinkmanship game in Gaza
Talkback
Title:Gaza is an independent state that has declared a war on Israel...
Name:Jehudah Ben-Israel
City: JerusalemState: Israel
...and Israel must respond accordingly, do that which is called for by any state attacked by a neighboring state:

1) Close all the crossings into the state of Gaza and cease supplying it with all goods such as electricity, petrol, water, money, food water, building material etc.

2) Clear to those who are still open minded to apprecitate it that Hamas could have chosen a different course, e.g. recognize Israel`s right to exist, adhere to signed agreements, cease all acts of terror and violence, but has chosen to enter into a war with Israel.

3) Punish and punish harshly this state of Gaza by attacking all the legitimate targets that any other state in a state of war would attack, until the authorities in Gaza ask for mercy.

No Jewish child should be sacrificed on the alter of "political correctness", none!
