| What israel cares about in this operation is first and foremost deter any possibility of a palestenian state, and that has been largely achieved for the next decade. Second, israel being a modern country does not like rockets falling on its citizens, even if they are fireworks, that too has been achieved for many years to come, the recent lebanese example is readily available. Israel wants hamas alive to serve as a division factor within the palestenian community, it is so primitive of my fellow arabs to think that israel can not militarily remove hamas, true they would lose casualties but if it is an existential threat they could, wake up!!. Again watch out for hamas now moving in to inner wars with their bretherins. The palestenians were better off when they used to throw stones at the israelis, they got things accomplished back then. Fundamentalist islam is indirectly serving the extremists in israel by maintaining the falacy that israel, a nuclear nation, is under threat |
