Negative Effects of Israel's Assault on Gaza

Not in any particular order:

1) Thousands of Hamas fighters will be killed;
2) Hundreds of Gaza civilians will be killed;
3) Thousands of Gaza civilians will be severely maimed for life;
4) A media blackout will not prevent Al Jazeera from broadcasting factual, photographic coverage of many dead children and other civilians;
5) Global public opinion will strongly hold Israel and the USA responsible for the carnage;
6) Muslim disgust with the action will result in the widespread radicalization of currently-moderate Arab opinion leaders;
7) Hamas will become much more respected, among Palestinians and in the region;
8) Economic costs will be huge--to Israel, to the US and to Gaza's infrastructure and people.

If you think additional negative effects should be added, please email them to gavin6@gmail.com
