The 50-day war between Israel and Hamas was more destructive than you might have imagined VIDEO
TIMOTHY MCGRATH, GLOBALPOST



Gaza was devastated by this summer’s 50-day war between Israel and Hamas, which killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, 64 Israeli soldiers, and five Israeli civilians. Israeli air strikes destroyed more 17,000 homes, 360 factories (about 10 percent of Gaza’s industrial capacity), and 42,000 acres of farmland. More than 100,000 Gazans have been displaced from their homes.

1. Where are the drone over flybys of the massive damage in Israel from those thousands of rockets?

I heard one took out a phone booth.

7. When you click through the link there is a "related" story

on the same page about how Israel suffered terribly with 70 casualties.

While I have no love for Hamas, or them firing rockets at Israel, this is Israel's idea of a reasoned response?

It reminds me of Elmer Fudd trying to kill a fly with a shotgun.

It also reminds me of Lindsay Graham this morning claiming that Obama is "Opening the Gates Of Hell" by not putting boots on the ground to combat ISIS and their giant world dominating army of 30,000 barely armed cavemen.
