http://www.worldtribune.com/2014/08/05/likud-party-leaders-furious-netanyahus-capitulation-hamas/Which begs the question, which party, Hamas or Likud, wants to kill every one of each other more?
Notice the disregard of all members for the civilian casualties, for the humanitarian crisis, for it is all about person power lust translated into blood lust, tinged with religious zealotry that rises from the great pool of religious zealotry that they all swim in.
They are not like you and I.

Furious Likud Party leaders charge Netanyahu capitulated to Hamas
Special to WorldTribune.com
JERUSALEM Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, blamed for Israels defeat in the war against Hamas, faces a revolt within his ruling Likud Party.
Leading members of the Likud, concerned over polls that oppose the unilateral withdrawal, have begun to distance themselves from Netanyahu as the conflict in the Gaza Strip turns into a war of attrition. The members have stressed that they would no longer support Netanyahus position to establish a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Israeli Interior Minister Gideon Saar
After withdrawing from Lebanon brought Hizbullah to power and withdrawing from the Gaza Strip brought Hamas to power, the lesson must be not to form a terrorist state in the heart of our land, Interior Minister Gideon Saar said. A Palestinian state would endanger Israels future.
In an address on Aug. 3, Saar, identified as the No. 2 figure in the Likud, objected to Netanyahus policy against Jewish communities in the West Bank. The interior minister, in an address to a Likud audience, said Israeli withdrawal was only encouraging terrorism.

"Political sources predict that tensions within Netanyahus coalition as well as his ruling party would escalate as Hamas maintains rocket and tunnel attacks. They said the prime minister as well as Cabinet members were bracing for a public backlash that could result in another commission of inquiry, which over the last 30 years ended the careers of numerous politicians and generals.
This is a bad government that needs to be replaced, opposition leader Yitzhak Herzog said."

(6,107 posts)If someeone publishes that there are green and yellow penguins on Mars, I have no way to refute that.
Doesn't mean it's true.
Because I have no way to refute your source doesn't make it a reputable source or make the info true.
It may very well be true, but I'd like to see it from a non right-wing source.

(31,941 posts)Israel was not defeated. Hamas was and is why they finally crawled to the negotiating table in Cairo. Israel achieved all of its military objectives which were stated beforehand.

(23,946 posts)Likud said for two days they would send negotiators only "after the ceasefire held", meaning no rockets.
Then they went.
So..........I have explained?

(21,088 posts)I'm going to start calling it "The Likud/Hamas War" to make it clear that the problem is the political leaders on both sides, rather than the citizens.

I'd look at the charters of both organizations and begin my presumptions from there...

(30,099 posts)Shiffer, regarded as one of the most informed journalists in Israel, said Netanyahu sought to direct the military in the Gaza war. The prime minister was even said to have selected military targets according to perceptions that ranged from calm will be met by calm to destroy the tunnels.
I can think of more than a few agencies that want to know which ones.
