Israel – The Likud Central Committee was set to convene in Ashkelon in two weeks to discuss the operation in Gaza, committee chairman MK Danny Danon announced Wednesday.

Danon said the committee would also deal with security policies regarding the challenges posed by Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.
“The Protective Edge war that began with huge support ended with Israel shamed and confused,” he said.
Bayit Yehudi MKs and ministers said Wednesday that even though they were disappointed with the outcome of the operation, they would not leave Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s coalition or topple his government.
“We will not overthrow a right-wing government in order to gain a couple of mandates,” Bayit Yehudi faction chairwoman Ayelet Shaked told the website Walla News.
Labor leader Isaac Herzog said he did not expect Netanyahu to take any diplomatic steps following the cease-fire. He hinted that an election was the only chance for a diplomatic deal.
“It will be up to the public to decide,” the opposition leader told Army Radio. “Only a revolutionary diplomatic process can guarantee us a better and quieter future.”
“I know it will take time for the public to realize it, but whoever wants to prevent Judea and Samaria from becoming Gaza will have to understand that we need to go toward a diplomatic maneuver.”

The truth is, that Israel gave Hamas nothing. Israeli’s are upset that we didn’t finish off Hamas entirely. This is understandable. If you think of the positions of the two fools, Livni and Lapid, who wanted Hamas destroyed in order to make a phony peace agreement with the terrorist in a suit, Abbas, the status quo of a defeated Hamas may be a better alternative.
The only better option, it seems to me, is to give Gazan’s 24 hours to leave, then destroy and recapture the place. A recent Palestinian poll, by a Palestinian polling service, showed that 89% of Gazan’s are in favor of missile strikes at Israel. They elected Hamas. The people there are not innocent. There are so many tapes of parents in favor their children to become Jihadists. It’s a sick and evil society. The only this that works with evil, is to destroy it. They are clearly Amalek and we are commanded to destroy Amalek.
The problem, besides Netanyahu’s backbone is Obama, who only meaningless talk without knowledge or substance.
Only a prolougue ;
והיא לא תצלח,
And its voracity
Is eternal as it is True!
“The Protective Edge war that began with huge support ended with Israel shamed and confused,”
Even more than that: During the first 10-14 days of the war, the foreign media concentrated exclusively on the aeroplane that had been downed in the Ukraine, and barely gave the conflict any attention. Even the media was tacitly agreeing with the war.
It dragged on too long because it had no clear initial goal, and new objectives were thought up on the hoof. It was clear that the discovery of the tunnels threw the military and political leaders into total confusion. Expert opinions claiming that they had been warned of these for ten years and had done nothing escaped the censor, before being silenced, but not before irreparable damage having been done. The PM and his top honchos, not to mention the top brass, saw their political futures on the line, so the objectives of the war changed yet again.
It was during that time that world opinion swung heavily against them.
All in all, it would appear that Hamas won.
Danny Danon should volunteer to lead the army into Gaza the next time they go in.
Bibi is the real hero, although the right wing nutcases will sound off just to get some media attention. The next step, which will require the return of much of the West Bank to the Palestinians will be even more painful but necessary.
How can you stay nothing was accomplished by this war, when they destroyed the tunnels that could have resulted in many more death of jews?
Hope you realize that fighting HASHEM does not pay before its too late CHAS VESHOLOM
