Whilst it is emerging that Netanyahu is something of a bad egg, and that the Ultras propping him up have something of the Ayatollahs about them, Hamas did a very bad thing - far worse than freedom fighters (as they see themselves) can possibly justify.

The big picture is that Israel is potentially fighting for its existence. Wider scale war hangs in the balance and Iran gets off scot free.

In any case, Israel must wipe Hamas out and then control the consequences in Gaza. Actually they'll then have a golden chance to initiate prosperity there if the Ultras don't get even more stupid.
