The problem on the Israeli side is an administration that isn't going to hold its people accountable for carelessness, cruelty, or vindictiveness. They are going to back their soldiers no matter what they do. Nice, except it lets the worst element run rampant. Shoot kids? Well fuck them for throwing rocks. Bomb a school? Well fuck them for launching rockets.
You simply cannot give a military force carte Blanche, as Netanayhu has done, pretty much. I mean, not rape of Nanking style, but a more passive look the other way thing. They justify every action by what Hamas has done and cry anti semitism if anyone dares criticize them. In the end it's going to be as destructive for Israeli society as it will be for Palestinian.
The Israelis lost over 100 men in the last assault. Think about the retribution they are allowed and how simply perpetuates the cycle of violence.
