Highlight:

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

    How do you negotiate with someone that just kidnapped and executed or planning to execute hundreds of civilians?

    What do you ask for here? And what do you give up?

        You know what. Sure. I think Israel will go for this.

        Release of all illegally detained Palestinians.

        In return, Israel gets

        • safe return of all hostages taken
        • complete surrender of all Hamas leadership
        • complete surrender and custody of all Palestinian combatants
        • including anyone who conspired or otherwise assisted in the recent act of terrorism

      You don’t. There’s no negotiating with terrorists, it’s too late. There is no good solution. The best Israel can do right now is make every effort to target Hamas, minimize civilian casualties and try to rescue as many people as they can.

      If they go nuts and start trying to exterminate in Gaza they’ll just fuel the next terrorist standoffs and keep this going for several more decades.

        Hey, guess what’s going to happen!

        I hope I’m wrong.

        But I doubt it.

          I hope so too, but measured and calm behavior is not what I’ve come to expect from Bibi unfortunately.
