Seems like Q and Bagor have time and time again had to defend their position that Hamas was wrong in everything they have done, but Israel's response is very out of proportion. But I never see any acknowledgment of when will the Palestinian people take responsibility for Hamas and start joining the effort to eliminate Hamas.
Beninho, you seem less interested in any type of diplomacy and are fine with Israel's methods. You have even gone as far as calling the Palestinian people Nazis. How dare someone with your back ground, would stoop to that level. You are actually diminishing what happened to your people in WW2 by doing this. Give your head a shake buddy.

My expected outcome is that Israel achieves nothing significant militarily, but completely destroys Gaza's civilian infrastructure. Israel sooner or later gets fed up with the war and retreats, claiming that they have "completely destroyed Hamas' military capabilities." In reality, Hamas keeps building their military strength and becomes capable as Hezbollah is now. As in, Israel can definitely take them on in a war, but it's not worth their effort. Whether or not Gaza gets rebuilt, I'm not sure. My gut instinct says yes.
