In the allys and the gutters of the world when fighting with men of low morals the one who insists on the Marquis de Queensbury rules will get his righteous ass stomped.
Fight like you mean to win damnit or you will surely die.

The statistics are in: Shermans virtually never killed King Tigers. Once a German Heavy Tank was spotted, standard operating procedure was to call in Tac Air Support — a spotter with the Ninth Air Force was always forward deployed.

Napalm was used to devastating effect against tanks in Normandy. The morale impact was horrific.

The number of German tanks lost to Tac Air and low gas ( Tac Air at the second remove ) was huge.

Other favorite tank stoppers: heavy naval guns — they work every time…

The Strategic Out for Israel: cut a moat at the Egyptian border of Gaza from the Med to the Negev… say 200 meters wide… drop the spoil into the Med slightly off shore creating an artificial island and naval base… keep extending the moat further into the Negev as needed….

The Double-standard strength Taboo armor is what has keep the world attentive to the woes of the Gazan children while shedding nary a tear over the dilemma of the Israeli child similarly injured.

It is the semantic desecration of the language of empathy and sorrow by members of the elite ranks of academe and “cult-ure” that double glazed and double pained eyes wet with the tears of easily avoidable, nightmare encroaching anguish and trauma.

Thank you men of the left, for these twisted and gnarled ghouls of thought repression and the immoral lie. How will you now deal with the oppressions and tainted by human expression of life, now that you have charge? Remember please, the whole world is watching.

The Gazans are ultimately playing a dangerous game. As has been said above, taboos shift, culture changes. There is sufficient Old Testament justification for absolute genocide of the Palestinians that a cultural shift in that direction is possible over the course of a generation or two.

No one can look at Meir Kahane now and say he was wrong.

An elderly gentlement who survived 900+ days of starvation in Leningrad, who was 9 at the time the seige ended, said they loved the arrival of the American tanks because of the leather seat cushions: they boiled and ate them.

Any Reuters employees in the area should consider themselves warned.Information Armor is based on respect – the assumption that the other guy will “respect” your armor for some reason internal to him.

I think you have put your finger on the key. When “journalists” say bad things about the Palestinians, bad things happen to them, even if the worst is just being evicted from the territory or having your stream of information being cut off. When they say bad things about the Israelis, nothing happens to them. At the very least, the journalists who are shilling for the Palestinians should be declared persona non grada in Israel and should be warned that because they associate with Hamas representatives their whereabouts will be tracked, and hopefully (snicker, snicker) they won’t be meeting with anybody who is slated to be shot or blown up on sight.

This is very silly. Why Israel insists on fighting with its gloves on boggles me. The information as to “Where is Hamas?” exists within Gaza. Hamas has no armor that can protect them from its immediate neighbors. The only thing Israel needs to do is to convince the neighbors who possess this information that they ought to act on it in a resolution inducing manner. And Israel only needs their tactical cooperation, not their support in the emotional sense.

All Israel needs to do is announce a 50:1 policy. Each Hamas missile will be answered by 50 Israeli missiles, aimed at no house in particular. Small diameter bombs will not be used (that’s explicitly part of the 50:1 policy).

And just to make sure the UN gets the message, Israel must also announce that an explicit plank of the 50:1 policy its full intention of ignoring all taboos and “international laws.” Those only belong to those who respect them in turn; Hamas of course has not done this and has declared war on Israel’s civilian populace and infrastructure without regard to any taboos. Any Reuters employees in the area should consider themselves warned.

Information Armor is based on respect – the assumption that the other guy will “respect” your armor for some reason internal to him. Anyone who gives the impression that he’s got respect for something other than the lives of his loved ones is a fool. Israel needs to reconsider its first principles. Civilization is pleasant, but its maintenance requires the willingness to use the tools of Barbarism under confined circumstance for short periods of time. The Citizen must be different from the Barbarian in the sense that he is capable of Civilization (and prefers it), not incapable of Barbarism (though he detests it).

I believe that the taboo only works against an opponent that holds themselves to a higher standard. The US will try to avoid killing civilians, the Russians look you in the eye and say, “You got a problem with that?”. I.E. if you think it is wrong to kill non-combatants then you are bad if/when you do (even if you do so inadvertently) if you don’t give a damn you are exempt. What everybody seems to miss is the start point; if Hamas quit attacking Israel the IDF would never trouble them again.

The problem is that Hamas consists largely of infantile sociopaths that cannot live without being center of attention; to give up their grieveance culture would mean that they would have to get a day job and be productive.
