Israel's Gaza Demilitarization Policy

Israel's terror risk from Gaza's tunnels is low, and Israel knows it. Thanks to Israeli use of modern listening technology, a terrorist infusion from them is Israel's lowest risk.  The HAMAS militants use the tunnels to site and run away after rocket launches  A subterfuge to destroy terrorists tunnels as rocket launcher access with no minimus in civilian noncombatant collateral damge is Israel's inhumane policy in occupied and subordinated areas. Israel's policy is reminiscent of anti insurgent NAZI policies in NAZI-occupied territories and it always has been. 

That is Israel's conundrum - how to be a "different-way" HUMANE  Israel, and stop a  military capacity.  Reserving the Iron Dome for population risks and accepting structural damage in Israeli areas is one method.  Spot aversion targeting without site destruction  is also capable. Twenty-five (25) + Israeli deaths balanced against a modern militarists' slaughter of 3000+ is unacceptable.

A better campaign aims at world influence to HAMAS politics : the victims will not stand for their shielding a front line with access through the near equivalent of a park or modern apartment complexe's access ways .. ie tunnels. 

The other good Israeli conscientious policy is to close down Netanyehu's Likud I II III governments and do so permanently, and put an end to the voting management of newer post Soviet Israelis and their cultivated populist paranoia.

Windows 8/8.1 Refresh/Recovery/Reset

Windows 8 & Windows 8.1 users/owners who installed that operating system before last fall; may have a difficulty when Refreshing, Recovering or Resetting (Factory Reset) their OS. Windows 8 is re-installed and requires some 100 + security updates which preclude a fast re-install. When using, unless your PC permits a System Restore at the latest possible date, do the REFRESH or RECOVERY, DO NOT install the update s( it will attempt to install all of them). Instead use this link : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40098 first. It will UPDATE all you need to go to the Windows Store and download the WINDOWS 8.1 version of the OS. Again, if your machine came with Windows 8, the restore/refresh functions will return you to Windows 8 even if you had update prior with Windows 8.1. Without the security update at the link noted, you will be unable to download the Windows 8.1 version from Windows Store immediately. NB too there will be an update for 32 & 64 bit systems.
