Quotes of the day:
"It is impossible to keep a hold over a state for 100 years. Because of the strength of the people living in the vicinity of Gaza…some say that it is possible to manage the conflict and not to resolve the conflict. (But) our strength is also a shot in the foot because it allows us not to solve the problem."
—Aviva Loten, a resident of Moshav Dekel, which is adjacent to the Gaza Strip, said after dozens of rockets were shot into Israel from Gaza and she spent the night in the safe room. (Maariv)

"The rocket attack is a surprise only if we allow ourselves to forget the wider context of the daily reality of occupation — from arrests of Palestinian children in their classrooms to settler attacks on Palestinian farmers — or the siege on Gaza, which has left the Gazans impoverished and hopeless."
--Journalist Haggai Matar writes in +972mag.*

"Netanyahu is not willing to take the additional step that would lead to a cease-fire or a long-term arrangement with Hamas. All he has to do is make a courageous decision to say that in exchange for Hamas' agreement to such a move, Israel will agree to a thorough and comprehensive reconstruction of Gaza in order to improve the standard of living and well-being of Gaza's residents."
—Maariv's Intel correspondent, Yossi Melman, in today's Op-Ed.**
