The crisis did not begin a few weeks ago.Since 2005, when Israel withdrew from the Gaza strip, Hamas has indiscriminately lobbed some 14,000 rockets and mortars over the border with the specific aim of killing as many Jews as possible. It remains committed to the annihilation of Israel (and achieving the same result vis-a-vis Palestinian civil society). Hamas is a fascistic death cult that operates within civilian areas including schools. It has rejected ceasefire offers proposed by Egypt, accepted by Jerusalem, and supported by the Palestinian Authority, Arab League, United Nations, and blatantly violated humanitarian cessations.

Some one has to take a baton and fix the radical Islam's terror outfits. Only Israel has stood up to the Hamas and US should let the Israel fire power to be ruthless at least for the next 50 years to deal with global Jidadi network wherever they are operating.
