If you imply Hamas, are a decent fighting force

Um, no, read what I said:

Hamas aren't Hezbollah, who are a decent fighting force with some good brains

Lebanese Hezbollah are a decent fighting force, in the sense that they are well-trained, well disciplined, pretty well armed for the doctrines they have developed and thereby saw off the IDF in 2006. Their prize for that was entry into Lebanese politics as the de-facto rulers of the south of the country.
Hamas, on the other hand, are barely beyond the futile 'wave your AK and shout Allah' phase of development, which has never really worked as a tactic. My point was that if Israel can't beat those guys (and the evidence is they can't, as Hamas have pointed out by loosing off some more rockets, bigging themselves up fpr the cameras and generally still being around and in charge), they're in serious trouble and need a plan B beyond just dropping bombs on people they don't like.

Quite. Ever ask yourself who's sitting on the *good* land?

I'm not sure the word I want to use at this point is allowed on this forum. I'll just ask this - in what way does Israel's perpetual tactic of making Hamas stronger make Hamas weaker? In other words, what's the point of all this?
