You shouldn't have because that's as ridiculous a statement you can make. It shows you don't grasp Israeli internal politics. Bibi is NOTHING LIKE Jimmy Carter. Israeli counter-strikes are hitting Gaza every 4.5 minutes. Have you ever listened to this man speak? To Obama? To the UN? In an interview? Sorry Joe, swing and a miss. Read this:

Tit for tat. What is Israel accomplishing?
As it stands both sides are perceived as equally strong and that means Israel loses. You say they are striking Gaza every 4.5 minutes. So what? The rockets keep coming.
This from the IDF:
"Since the start of the operation, over 940 rockets have been fired towards Israel, the IDF said Sunday night. Of them 740 hit Israel and nearly 187 have been intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system.
"The IDF has targeted over 1,425 terror targets, with both naval and aerial capabilities, the statement said."
When does the ground campaign start, Bibi?
