The only group dumber than hamas in this situation are the Israelis, and Im pro-Israel. Every time they do something like this, they play right into the hands of every nutjob islamic religious extremist organization in the region. By bombing gaza, Israel are perpetuating everything they claim they want to see an end to, no matter how justified they may be in their attacks. They can't go in and destroy hamas (hezbollah et al) outright, which is what I would like to see happen...so hamas wins a propaganda victory claiming more "disproportionate violence" from those occupying bullies in tel-aviv. Of course everyone knows hamas' goal is the destruction of Israel...so anything short of their own destruction, preferably by Palestinian moderates, is a win for hamas et al.
