I am not going to debate the numbers....suffice it to say that they're in the tens of thousands. Then again, does the number really matter? I think all can agree that too many have died in response to the evil inflicted upon Israel. Enough already. And no one is asking for Israel to lay down arms....quite the contrary. The real ask is for Israel to re-think its current strategy....realizing that the current one is a dead-end. Pax
Feel free to suggest another strategy, I'm sure Israel would like to hear any ideas. But the current strategy of wiping out every Hamas member sure sounds like a way to defeat the enemy. How did we defeat Japan? How did we defeat Germany? We bombed them into oblivion, it's about the only way to win a war.
Dude .... your ignorance is showing....please quit while you're behind. You obviously know precious little as to what went on during WWII. For starters the way to win a war is to convince the other side that to purse said endeavour is a dead-end strategy. We did a lot of that BUT it was Russia pressing on the eastern front that ultimately ended the war. Not the 8th Army (though they did contribute significantly). The Bomb was the real reason we won (and the belief that we had more) otherwise, Japan was prepared to fight on. What Israel should do now is to tone down the offensive and look for an off ramp. Many within Israel do not like the continuation of hostilities as they see bad things coming via the current strategy. Not a good leading indicator. Thus, Israel should take any reprise to regroup and play the long game. This unfortunately is just the beginning of a new series of violence within the region. Read my previous responses as to why.

I'm fully aware of WW2. Yes Germany attacking Russia was their death knell. But D day, the allies wiped out the rest of Germany. We bombed the hell out of Dresden for example. And Japan surrendered when we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is what it might take for Israel to defeat Hamas, deal them such a severe blow that they realize they're done for and they surrender. In fact, most of this has already happened. At this point it might only be a mop up action for Israel to finish Hamas.
