7 Lessons all Gazans should learn from this war.

1) Don't provoke a war with Israel (unless you really want your ass kicked).
2) Don't spend 60+ years targeting Israeli civilians (unless you really want your ass kicked).
3) Don't violate cease fires (unless you really want your ass kicked).
4) Don't elect terrorists to run your country (unless you really want your ass kicked).
5) Don't store rockets in schools or mosques (unless you really want them to get blown up)
6) Don't use human shields. I'm serious. It makes jihadists look cowardly (and it won't stop your ass from getting kicked).
7) All the people in the US and EU who side with you, can't do anything to help you outside of protesting and making hateful posts on otherwise enlightened forums (in other words, you may get a warm feeling, but the IDF will still kick you ass). Even socialist French leadership is siding with Israel. It's election time in the US. Both political parties are talking about how much they love Israel.

If you don't do those simple things, Israel will leave you alone. You can build malls, invest in business and infrastructure. Live good lives free from tunnels and terror.
Look at the West Bank: They don't do the things in the list above...no one is kicking their asses.

A very wise woman one said, "When the arabs love their children more than they hate us, then we will have peace."

About Countdown_3_2_1

I work. I'm Married. My Wife and I are DINKs: Dual Income, No Kids. Come Spring we are going to get a house. Wife: Hooray! Me: (no so enthusiastic) Yard Work. Yea. On the downside this means no vacation this year. On the upside, this means we will get a pair of kittens. I'm into sci-fi, go to conventions. Met the wife at one. I would love to colonize Mars as part of a terraforming project--I would go knowing I could never come back. I would colonize the ocean floor if I could, but it seems Mars is more likely to happen sooner.
