Their officially stated goal is the elimination of HAMAS. I don't think they can do it. Probably not even if they nuked Gaza.

It's a horrific thing, but as another poster observed, stopping, allowing Hamas to regroup for another slaughter of thousands of Jews is intolerable. .

Imagine the Nazis refusing to surrender, continuing to stage urban attacks on US troops as they rolled north. Do you think we'd retreat, sit in France and allow the Nazis time to regroup? Or would the Allies continue to bomb the crap out of them until they surrendered?

Death toll of German civilians is controversial."Around 600,000 German civilians died during the allies' wartime raids on Germany, including 76,000 German children, Friedrich says. In July 1943, during a single night in Hamburg, 45,000 people perished in a vast firestorm.

Numbers seem irrelevant in a war. War starts when it starts, and ends when someone surrenders. Horrific, huh?

Don't do war!
