“Israeli troops have carried out local raids over the past day in the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces said Friday.

The raids involved “infantry and armored forces,” the IDF said.

Troops searched for hostages and collected evidence that would help them find the captives, according to the IDF statement. The military also said it “thwarted terrorist cells and infrastructure located in the area, including a Hamas cell that fired anti-tank missiles toward Israeli territory.”

The IDF said it has also continued strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza.”

I’m sure that this has been said before, but this is Israel’s Pearl Harbor and 9/11, 2001. Imagine if Cuban terrorists who were sent not just from from Cuba, but the Cuban Communist State there, to bomb innocent Floridians, perhaps ex-Cuban nationals who fled Cuba, to escape the Communist State there and then successfully executed that bombing, of course America would respond not just with a full attack against the Communist State there, but perhaps even to take out the Communist State and then occupy Cuba, till a responsible government could be formed there. 

The old cliche that war is hell, but sometimes it’s also a necessary evil to prevent further murders and to protect your own people. I don’t think Israel, regardless of what you think of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his nationalist government there, has no choice but to knock out the Hamas Government in Gaza, not just for the good of his own people in Israel, but for the good the Palestinians who are living in Gaza. (If you want to call that living)

After the Hamas regime is eliminated in Gaza, then Israel should set up a temporary, responsible, hopefully Palestinian led government in Gaza, that could govern Gaza, until the Palestinians are ready to set up their own government there, that is accountable and responsible to their own people, that’s friendly to Israel and the Jewish people there, that can all govern and defend Gaza, in a responsible way. 

At risk of sounding like a Neoconservative: I don’t make these arguments as a Neoconservative, but as as an actual Liberal Democrat (meaning someone who believes in liberal democracy and the protection of innocent lives) who believes people shouldn’t be murdered simply because of their ethnicity. And while Israel is taking down Hamas in Gaza, they need to see that as many Palestinian innocent civilians as possible in Gaza, are allowed to leave Gaza temporarily to a safe place where they could stay, until Gaza is safe for them to return and live.
