US warships turn around toward Israel

He does not need to pay for Hamas' missiles.

Friends of Hamas do that. Again, rockets are cheap and ineffective to the cause. Netanyahu is playing on the stupidity of Hamas' leaders. Those who suffer will be the people of Gaza. And eventually, the people of Israel, who really need a peace agreement.

I think that the leaders of Hamas have that stupidity with or without Netanyahu, but he does have to deal with it , and the people of Gaza do seem willing to spend the price of a university on having missles .

I know it is not their money , but the leadership of Iran is stupid enough to play the people of Gaza into taking the heat.

It is working pretty well , none of us have mentioned Syria this week , the MSM is just as distracted .

I hope that our leadership is not distracted , if all goes well Gaza will return largly to where it was a month ago all this effort being a waste as far as improving anything for Isreal or Gaza.

I don't think the stupid puppetmaster is Netanyahu, I think the stupid puppetmaster is the theocracy of Iran.

===================
I never said that Netanyahu is stupid. He is calculating,manipulative and sly. The Iranian government is presiding over an economic disaster because of the embargoes. They need someone other than themselves to hang the blame on,and Israel is the perfect scapegoat. Directing the hatred of the Iranian masses against the Zionists deflects the hatred being directed against the ayatollahs and Amedinejahd.

None of these people is stupid in their own context. Hamas is stupid to use rockets against random civilians, because it cannot further their cause. The puppetmasters are behaving logically. It is those who allow themselves to be used as puppets that are stupid.

I agree with most of this too.

I am starting to worry about myself.

Killing a few random civilians with clunky home made rockets is simply stupid, whether is a tactic or a productive act of terrorism.

Blowing up a busload of civilians is also mostly stupid for the same reasons, though it does send the message that it is unsafe to  travel about for those who rely on public transportation. Hamas needs to study Gandhi. They are imitating tactics that have not worked in Lebanon, Algeria and other places. Gandhi brought down the British Empire with a minimal number of casualties. The Partition of India and Pakistan resulted in far more deaths. Mandela used mostly passive resistance to liberate S. Africa as well.

The government of Israel is vulnerable to passive resistance and world opinion. Toy rockets and bus bombs have proven ineffective.

I am going to quit talking to you unless you can stop being so agreeable.
