Truce seems over -- Israel resumes killing of militants
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 7/16/05 | Scott Wilson

Gaza City -- The Israeli military killed seven members of Hamas Friday and early today in rocket strikes that renewed Israel's policy of assassinating militant Palestinian leaders and effectively marked the end of a five-month truce.

The military wing of Hamas, known formally as the Islamic Resistance Movement, has fired more than 100 mortar shells and rockets into Israel and Jewish settlements in Gaza in recent days, one of which killed a 22-year-old Israeli woman Thursday.

100 mortar shells and rockets fired by Hamas doesn't end the truce, but the IDF responds by whacking a few of the terrorists does?

Sounds good to me.

Israel should nuke Syria and do everybody a favor.

No truce is ever going to work. Total victory is the only solution even if it means bulldozing every Palestinian village.

Gotta admire the Lefts ability to believe two or three mutually exclusive things at the same time!

100 mortar shells and rockets fired by Hamas doesn't end the truce

And neither did the murder of little girls (committed by Islamic Jihad) in Netanya the other day.

Leftists/the MSM would like nothing better than Israel to roll over and get slaughtered.

It's actually from the Washington Post. The SF paper just picked it up.

The suicide bombing in Netanya doesn't qualify as ending the truce I guess.

When Jews die, the left roundly ignores it. When Hamasniks fire rockets into Israel and kill, injure and maim Jews, it rates a 2nd graf mention.

When the IDF reacts to stop the firing of rockets into Israel, that ends the truce.

I guess the truce is still in effect when Jews die. It's only over when "militants" die.

I'm sick of this. And I'm sick of our administration tolerating this.

No surprise there...the biggest anti-Semites in this country today, is the left. Yet my co-religionists still vote for these crazies. I don't understand it...

Not only tolerating it but encouraging it by drawing up "roadmaps" that contain conditions that they have no intention of enforcing, and of course giving billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to a Palestinian "leadership" that will never go after their own terrorist scum.

The administration has Islamic "hearts and minds" to win (as if that's possible), and if that means turning a blind eye to Palestinian terror, so be it.

How about "Palis resume killing of Israelies," which is actually what happened (with the homicide bomb attack).

Or completely eliminating the Muslim problem.

It's not so simple.

The one who just gave them $Millions with $Billions on the way, the one insisting on a "Palestinian" State: is a Conservative Republican.

Mr M, we as a country had better wake up. The Islamists have no intention in living peacefully with us. We had better take the terrorist threat seriously enough to wage an effective war on terror. The Islamists don't play by the rules..in fact, they will use the rules against you and they will use useful idiots like Ted Kennedy to further their own aims.

Point taken...bearing in mind the efforts by previous administrations such as Oslo, Camp David and Wye River...this is a natural progression.

Fact is, though, that there has been a much "friendlier" atmosphere towards Israel by this admin...to a point. It boggles my mind that this admin is so clear on their stance on terrorism as it affects us but has become so wishy washy when it affects Israel.

The Netanya attack is a perfect case in point...Israel should consider the ramifications of retaliatory action????? What is that all about?
