“We have put terrorists on notice, wherever they may be … we’re going to pursue them, and we’re going to destroy those who will destroy us,” Yechiel Leiter said in a speech at the U.S. Capitol complex on Wednesday.

That says it all really. Why would someone stop fighting if their enemy says “you’re dead!” no matter what? Shit like this strike and the bold statements just entrench an already entrenched enemy. Hamas will salt the earth behind them in Gaza if it means Israel doesn’t take the land.
