Ladies and gentlemen, it's not happening

>Look Israel. We weren't sending our best. Figured a few stabbings, a shooting or two, then our guys are slaughtered and we roll out the tv cameras to film a few dead 14 year olds that were in our group to air on BBC. You lob a few missiles our way and we all start planning to do this again in a few years, job well done by all.

>How the heck were we to know they'd actually succeed!?

I mean, it's waaayyyy to late now to stop this shit, but it's somewhat reassuring that Hamas knows the extent to which they fricked up this time. No idea how this ends though. Israel may want to setup shop in Gaza for a bit, but they don't want to stay and they can't kill or displace 2 million people. They earned a pretty free hand on the worldwide stage, but not that much.
