Since its founding in the wake of the Holocaust, Israel has been seen by those who love freedom and justice as a "light" unto the nations, an uncanny progenitor of what it means to be brought low and to rise up again from the ashes. If this perception of Israel is true, and I believe that it is, then how Israel now chooses to deal with Islam's most shamelessly sadistic barbarism may yet set an absolutely necessary example to other nations.

The only way to put a stop to such an unequal and immoral exchange, is to institute a death penalty for Jihadi terrorists.
After Israel receives the very last living hostages and the very last corpse is set free — it must do the unthinkable: Totally destroy Hamas and remove its active supporters in Gaza, finally take over the Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria (i.e. the West Bank), and create a sufficient zone of safety between itself and Hezbollah in Lebanon. (Please note I am not suggesting that men like Khaled Abu Toameh or Bassem Eid be ethnically cleansed or exiled.)
Israel must try, one last time, as must the Trump administration, to persuade other Muslim countries to grant asylum to the allegedly "innocent" Gazans, perhaps even the type of Gazan who mercilessly mobbed, jeered, and menaced, the sole, lone, young Israeli woman on her way to the Red Cross truck, a woman who'd spent 482 days in solitary, in addition to being starved, deprived of oxygen, sunlight, and medical attention, and who suffered God knows what other abuses.
Perhaps other Muslim countries will choose the more "innocent" of Gazans, such as the women who kept the Israeli hostages as food-deprived domestic slaves; or those who were employed by UNRWA and who also starved and hid them — and did God-only-knows what else to them.
If Israel obtains a total military victory (as so many other experts far more knowledgeable than myself have long been calling for); if Israel rids itself of the most hate-filled Jihadists, at least those Jihadists who hug its border...
