Both sides have committed war crimes and no-one is taking the high road. Netanyahu has pledged to destroy Hamas completely. He's got to be kidding. Unless he ethnically cleanses the whole of Gaza (he appears already to be trying to do that in the northern half, another war crime underway), Hamas will just renew itself via its radicalised young generation of men, and there's plenty of outside help. Hamas have networks of tunnels and bunkers and will mine areas likely to be attacked by an IDF ground force. Bibi is right about one thing if he goes ahead: this is only the beginning. If it happens, a lot of Israeli families will be getting their loved ones home in body bags. He can't go on blaming Hamas for every single death for ever. I think that a ground invasion, as well as being bloody, will inflict a heavy political price on him, quite likely fatal.
