I’ll just get this out of the way.

Israel’s attack on Gaza is probably strategically counter-indicated, even if it wasn’t so startling. I find it hard to live in country responsible for hundreds of thousands of Iraqis for no reason whatsoever and criticize the actions of virtually any other country. Still, this falls under the “no one could have predicted” category. Hamas knew that this is how Israel responds. That’s what they want, because it keeps them in power—which is why they actually closed the border with Egypt.

I’m not convinced this is how to stop the rocket attacks on Sderot. Bad move. That’s all I plan to say.
