Michael Oren: “How do you send an army into Gaza when Hamas and Islamic jihad are holding as many as 130 Israeli hostages?”

You can shoot 350 projectiles at us. And if one of them had gotten through, it could have killed thousands of people.

Ceasefire means Hamas wins.

I would like to see more aid personally, and I'm sure that this -- what has occurred, this tragedy will probably strengthen the president's hand and trying to persuade Israeli leaders to go against public opinion.

I think the Israeli public will be open to any realistic venue that will change the status quo, perhaps a peaceful resolution.
