The IDF has a problem that is very difficult..

Israel knows that it must keep the good opinion of the WEST to survive; They will not keep that if they kill thousands of women and children. by air and arty.  So they need to have as many women and children leave Gaza as possible. Mass use of air and arty.is the preferred way to take a city, you lose less of your people, yet  that makes tens of thousands of dead women and kids and that does not play well on TV. Yet, if they send  ground troops into Gaza to go house by house to limit civilian dead, as people dont leave, and  also go into tunnels they will lose perhaps several thousands of troops.That is not something the IDF wants to do nor do they have the numbers to accept huge loses.  As I said, they have a problem

I think the real danger to Israel is; if Iran gets nukes or a strong ally with nukes. There are about 9,000,000 izzy and perhaps another 9.000,000 Jewish folk world wide against perhaps 2000.000.000 Islamic people. True not all on either side want to fight, but numbers count in war. The word is that Israel has about 200 atomic weapons and that keeps the Islamic mostly at bay. But is Iran gets the bomb, that makes MAD come into play and Israel simply cannot have that.

interesting times
