&lt;strong&gt;2. Let them know your going to blow up their home, include day, date, time. &lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;3. Let it be known that the call was made.  Call his associates on their Home phone, cell phone, office phone, car phone, sat phone, leave message.&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Mosques will reamain the ideal weapons depots.

Despite all this, the wire services will still send out messages that &#039;holy sites&#039; were destroyed. In a sense they are correct - Mosques are holy sites. What they always omit is that it is totally legitimate to store bombs and rockets in Islamic &#039;holy&#039; sites and give cover to &#039;holy warriors&#039; there. Something your average Priest or Rabbi would likely take great exception to happening on his property. 

Still, there is no reason for Reuters and AP to point this up.</description>

		<description>The phone calls are simply and example of political correctness run amok in a highly inappropriate setting (it&#039;s WAR!!).  Phone calls won&#039;t defeat Hamas.

Israel should give one blanket announcement that any structure containing rockets or other instruments of war will be obliterated, as will anyone firing at or otherwise attempting to harm any Israelis.  

&lt;strong&gt;In other words, RUN AWAY FROM THE ROCKETS: don&#039;t wait for the phone call!!!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>The only way to stop the terrorists and their supporters in Gaza is to make it unbearable for them to continue. Generals Curtis Lemay and Arthur Harris had it right. If civilians are willing participants and supporters of the terrorist war effort then they are complicent and valid targets.</description>

		<description>On the other hand, think about the message this sends:

&lt;em&gt;Even with warning and time to prepare, Hamas can&#039;t protect their own homes, and in this case their own families.  How can they protect the rest of the Palestinians?&lt;/em&gt;

I think Israel is doing this as a part of a psy-op to break the will of the Palestinians to keep attacking by rubbing their noses in how hopeless it is.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why warn them? Erase them all and level the Gaza strip so they cant hide anywhere. That will solve that problem

Uh, maybe because the Israelis understand that it&#039;s one thing to take your opponent&#039;s land, forcing them into diaspora, and quite another to completely obliterate your opponent, causing another Holocaust.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Telephone calls are cheaper than bombs. If the Israelis repeatedly make 10 calls and bomb one site each time, they should soon get a Pavlovian response. That is, if Hamas’ leadership is at least as smart as a dog.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Continue to execute the leaders of Hamas, Hezballoh, Iran, Syria for starters and the war on terror would immediately start to wind down.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

...eh...sort of but not quite....

...this whole murderous mess is premised on the fact that the terrorists can count on conditional support from their own community...they attack and make the Israelis (and US) look bad, the supporters are pleased....

...now...make it costly for those conditional supporters by, say, bombing &lt;em&gt;at&lt;/em&gt; targets they as well as the Israelis know are there, hitting the civilians meant to shield those targets -- in effect saying &quot;we don&#039;t &lt;em&gt;care&lt;/em&gt; any more than you do if you hide among your women and children...we can kill them too&quot; -- and the dynamic changes.  It becomes &quot;don&#039;t piss of the Israelis&quot;....

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Israel would be better suited to issue a blanket warning to Hamas leadership, and let them discover the specifics of the IDF schedule at the moment when their luck runs out.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

...bingo....

...gonna fight a war, fight it like a war....

...as they should know by now that, no matter what, they&#039;re going to be treated by the UN and the world&#039;s establishment press as lackeys of the US and as genocidal maniacs -- a nice bit of historical acrobatics there -- what do they have to lose?  Some future terror attacks, maybe?

...they have the targets based on reasonably reliable intelligence?  Hit &#039;em.  Knock &#039;em flat.  Get in the way, you&#039;re flattened, too. 

On the matter of noncombattants, so called, consider that in Palestinian terms, a &quot;noncombattant&quot; is someone who&#039;s not yet old enough to commit political murder on the basis that they can&#039;t yet tie on the dynamite vest (just as they can&#039;t yet tie their own shoes) or their feet can&#039;t yet reach the pedals of the car-bomb they&#039;re expected to drive.  All comes in time. 

...so, put the targets behind the soft barriers of your &quot;noncombattants&quot;, and it&#039;s rather like putting on the targets in the shooting gallery...you&#039;ve put &#039;em at risk...who&#039;s to blame?</description>

		<description>Is psychological warfare pure and simple. How many of you had read &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Starship Troopers&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; (the book not the movie)

&lt;strong&gt;Remember the: I am 30 seconds bomb, I am a 29 seconds bomb, I am a 28, etc...&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>I have argued here and at the old Captain&#039;s Quarters that we won&#039;t be serious about the war on terror until we approach it &quot;top down&quot; first. 

The terror leaders themselves have to be personally held responsible for the murder and mayhem they are instigating. They have to be terminated on the field not in a court. 
Continue to execute the leaders of Hamas, Hezballoh, Iran, Syria for starters and the war on terror would immediately start to wind down.

If it doesn&#039;t, then start down the food chain. In the interim it is not necessary to bomb countries and populations into the stone age hoping to change the behaviour of the terror leaders. These leaders will take their people down the drain. Prime example Mugabe, another terror leader who should have been shot on sight ten years ago.

We have to let the dogs out.</description>

		<description>Telephone calls are cheaper than bombs. If the Israelis repeatedly make 10 calls and bomb one site each time, they should soon get a Pavlovian response. That is, if Hamas&#039; leadership is at least as smart as a dog.</description>

Israel&#8217;s response is perfectly proportionate



    
        
            Moral clarity in Gaza

		<description>Hamas simply does not accept the right of Israel to exist.  They are implacable enemies, who keep logging ordnance at Israeli civilians.  The Israelis have every right to defend themselves.  Unfortunately, the Israelis have to play the PR game, hence the phone calls.  Still, in my cynical way, I&#039;d just chalk a crude drawing of a phone on the bombs and call it good.  Anyone who wants to live can leave - and anyone who is staying in a war zone helping hide weapons is a participant.  They are not a civilian.  

Another option might be to publicize the fact that they will devastate any area used for launching missiles or firing mortars, manufacturing bombs etc.  Publicize it heavily for a week, then just let the bombs fall where they may.  If people in Gaza really want to end this they can - by stopping the attacks on Israel.  Since they do not want to do that, there seems to be no alternative but for Israel to take out the weapons, and as many Palestinians as are nearby when the bombs fall.  Not perfect, but probably more defensible to the weak-kneed crowd.</description>

		<description>This is like the story of the burglar who brought in to a Quaker&#039;s Home.  The owner showed up with a shotgun and said:
&lt;blockquote&gt;Friend, I mean thee no harm.  But thou art standing where I am about to shoot.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
