    The boy would be the fourth civilian in Israel to be killed in an attack from the coastal territory since the outbreak of conflict on July 8, and the first Israeli death since an Egyptian-brokered truce broke down earlier this week. More than 2,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, most of them civilians.

    Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu vowed that “Hamas will pay a heavy price” for the death.

    The premier spoke with the head of the Sha’ar Hanegev regional council, Alon Shuster, by telephone shortly after news broke of the boy’s death.

    Netanyahu told Shuster that the Israeli military will intensify its actions against Hamas in the Gaza Strip “until the goals of Operation Protective Edge are achieved.”

    This is the result of agreeing to ceasefires and peace talks with an enemy who seeks to destroy you. Instead of destroying Hamas, Israel’s leaders give them time to re-arm and play this tit for tat game. Is the United States dropping leaflets and sending text messages to civilians as drops bombs in ISIS fighters now? Of course not; only a leader who worries more about world opinion than his own civilians would do such a stupid thing.

    Lets wait for the UN to decry the murder of innocent children. Oh never mind. They only use those terms when Pali terrorists and their future-terrorist offspring die.

    “More than 2,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, most of them civilians.”
    How do we know so? Because Hamas says so. Also, most of them were not wearing uniforms and badges.
    I used to think that the lowest IQ was zero. I see it can go below zero.

    Nebbich, nebbich, nebbich.
    So much for all the talk about how much of Hamas’ capability was destroyed. It’s time to take off the gloves and destroy Amalek.

    > “Netanyahu Vows Hamas To Pay ‘Heavy Price'”
    >> Wait…I thought Bibi declared that Hamas would pay a “heavy price” after the abduction and murder of the three yeshiva bochrim…and pay a “heavy price” after the killing of our soldiers trapped in an outdated APC…and pay a “heavy price” after killing our soldiers from terrorist tunnel attacks inside Israel…
    Well, I guess Bibi never runs out of “heavy prices” to be paid. Either that, or it’s all empty talk and paper tiger threats. In the beginning I fully supported Netanyahu’s leadership in this war…but now I’m having my doubts. He that he seems to come up with now is tough talk, but never the kind of “heavy price” that will force Hamas’s unconditional surrender (as happened against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan). Short of the ultimate “heavy price” of destroying Hamas, Jews will continue to die (Rachmana Litzlan).
