the numbers of reservists showing up, I just caution all to beware of anything being reported w/ a grain of salt.

(IMHO) no need to kill so many like they did, from the awful stories I've seen and heard.

If anything, they've set themselves back 100 years and done far more harm than good, in making any kind of statement w/ this action of theirs.

What did HAMAS expect to get out of this? Innocent Palestinians are being killed as well and most of the world is obviously turned against HAMAS after this horrific attack and they stand to be annihilated.
