Let the tumor grow?

Cancer cells

A Life of Unrest - Steven Erlanger

Israel is now confronted with a dilemma. There is a hostile entity on its southern border, run by an armed group [Hamas] that is committed to fighting Israel and is opposed to its existence. Should Israel now let a Gazan Hamastan grow?

It seems clear that something needs to be done. If the Palestinians refuse, or cannot reign them in, and the UN, as usual, fails to act decisively, it is clear that eventually Israel will, yet again, need to protect itself and its interests.

The Prime Minister of Israel should declare a no tolerance missle policy and amass IDF troops for assault along the Gaza border.

Note: Kassam rocket fly regularly from Gaza into Israel, terroizing the population of Sderot.

Each round of missles from Hamastan would be met with a hammering from the IDF.

Waiting for Hamas to gather strength will only lead to an enlargment of the conflict.
