To be honest Saf I wouldn't have a clue about the capabilities of any soldiers or terrorists, no more than I do of the IDF. What my eyes do see though, is Israel have gone as far as they have, so why would they stop and not just keep going - reason I say that is the threat is always going to be there otherwise. I doubt any of us can ever imagine what it's like to be surrounded by neighbours who would happily exterminate you, so why not stamp on the threat once and for all, they wouldn't hesitate to do it if the shoes were reversed. Maybe it even needs to be bigger than this and for the US to stamp on Iran. Non of these terrorists are doing it for the people, they do it for their own extreme reasons. I don't even see my words as supporting Israel or the IDF, I'm just saying that's how I'm seeing this play out, past, present and future. The trouble is thousands upon thousands of kids are stuck in the middle of this, but the blame for that has to fall to the cowards that hide behind them, it;s how they've always fought, personally I couldn't fight like that, I would either fight out in the open or not fight at all, the choices are simple, don't involve kids. If you choose to not fight at all, at least solutions can be reached in the longer term, once trust has been built, then an end to this madness of humanity can begin. It's just one massive mess, but sadly none of them on any side appear to be backing down, so the cycle in the loss of life continues.
