I've Been Thinking:
Shaul Mofaz, chairman of the Israeli Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, came out with a clear and unequivocal assessment of Hamas on Sunday.
Mofaz said that if Hamas uses it longer range rockets to attack Israel, Israel will respond by destabilizing and unseating Hamas.
The point is obvious: it is one thing to shoot a few rockets at kibbutzim and small towns near the Gaza border, but if you plan on attacking a major Israelis city with a significant population - you can expect real retribution.
The implication is clear: if Hamas attacks, the Israeli counter attack will not be proportional.
Mofaz is saying that if pushed too hard, Israel will take out Hamas - all of Hamas, from infrastructure through leadership.
