Southern Israel was bombarded with rockets from Gaza on Saturday morning, with over 50 rockets landing in the southern part of the county, Israeli media reported.

Two people were reported to be lightly injured and two homes damaged by the barrage of rockets.

The rockets began to land in the early hours of Saturday, with most of them landing in open areas in southern Israel's western Eshkol region. Two of the rockets landed on small communities in the area.

Looks like the boyz in Gaza are getting new toys from those freedom fighters that we helped install in Egypt.

Nice job, Obama.

We are supposed to be terribly concerned about rebels in Libya - who for all we know are agents of the Muslim Brotherhood - and yet nothing is done about Arab baby-murdering terrorists attacking a relatively civilized country allied with us....

Since the Gazanians are trying to indiscriminately murder the citizens of Israel shouldn’t nobama enforce a no-fly-zone over Gaza and assassinate their leader? It would only seem fair under the apparent “nobama doctrine” as shown in Libya.

Yes indeed. I think you're absolutely right.

The Impostor-Commie-Kenyan GAVE $$$$, weapons, and know-how
to Gazans/Hamas/Fatah to do the killing
(and enabled CODE PINK, Ayers and the rest to fan the flames)
so it is probably not about “fairness”,
but about the pRes_ _ent’s antiSemitism
and endless helpfulness to al Qaeda/Ikhwan at US and
US taxpayers’ expense.

Kinda funny how silent Obama and his sycophants in the media are about Israelis being murdered but are all up in arms about Libya. The ‘rebels’ in Benghazi are jihadis, even crazy Khaddafi knows that. Per capita, Libya provided as many foreign fighters in Iraq as any arab country.

Now that Hamas has a free hand to import weapons to Gaza, expect to see a lot more of these barrages of missiles. They are probably going to have longer range ones soon, so we will see more Israeli deaths, a massive Israeli retaliation, and Obummer will blame Israel. Thus is life under our clueless POTUS.

Wile E Coyote tries out his new ACME rockets again. Let’s see, how did that work out the last few times they did this?

Unfortunately, it will work out just the way they planned. The Caliphate wanna-be's are happy to sacrifice the Palistinians in order to use them in their propaganda war. If some Jews die as a result....all the better for their evil plans.

I did not say nor did I intend for the U.S. to do it. I have no idea why you started your response with “Can we.”

Let the Israeli’s do it. What they need is for us to get the heck out of their way.

This won’t be reported in the MSM probably.

But the Isreali response will be treated as a war crime.
