This isn't a movie, there will be no Navy Seals HALO jumping into Gaza for a heroic rescue. A rescue mission isn't a priority. The Israelis are running the show. Does it look like they're preparing for a rescue mission? Would you be turning the place into rubble? Are you even listening to what they're saying? This is scorched earth, kill'em all and let Allah sort it out. Hamas doesn't care either. Every dead civilian, every dead kid, old lady, everyone is expendable for the cause. In fact their belief is that the dead are now released from their suffering and are now in the loving arms of Allah. Victory for these people isn't survival, it's dying while killing as many infidels as they can. Here's how this goes down. Israelis go in and the slaughter begins. They get hit from all sides in a big way. They cannot fight that off conventionally and can't wait while we dip our toes in the fight. The button gets pushed, nukes fly. Then we'll see who has what pointed at whom and who the global decision makers are willing to sacrifice while cutting a deal to "save humanity".
