Israeli troops move to Gaza after rockets jolt Tel Aviv area
CBS News ^ | November 15, 2012

Posted on 11/15/2012 12:27:47 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Palestinian militants barraged Israel with more than 200 rockets on Thursday, killing three people as Israel pressed a punishing campaign of airstrikes on militant targets across the Gaza Strip.

Late in the day, Israel signaled a ground operation may be imminent as forces moved toward the border area with Gaza. At least 12 trucks were seen transporting tanks and armored personnel carriers, and a number of buses carrying soldiers arrived. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he had authorized the army to call-up additional reservists for possible action. The army said it was prepared to draft up to 30,000 additional troops.

"I ordered the military today to widen the draft of reserve soldiers in order to be able to be ready for any development," Barak said. Military officials said the moves were to prepare for the possibility of a ground invasion, but stressed no decision had been made. Israel TV stations, however, said a ground offensive was expected Friday.

What slot is Obama’s tee time at the golf course?

He's been in NYC today comforting the victims of Sandy, but "From The White House, President's schedule November 15, 2012:

4:35 pm "The President hosts cast and crew members of the film Lincoln for a screening at the White House"

Link

No time nor reason for him to consider the fate of Israel.

I highly recommend reading the @IDFSpokesperson twitter feed:

It’s so good that the Washington Compost wants Twitter to censor them:

It’s just staggering how much things at home and abroad have really ramped up since the election. Its not surprising but I didnt think things would start spiraling out of control this fast.

No surprise. The terrorists are emboldened by the fact that the current occupant of the White House is no friend of Israel.

Prayers and donation away.

Many IDF soldiers are Jewish by birth but from other countries. This organization helps them pay for travel expenses etc if they choose to go fight for Isreal.

DONATE TO IDF

We are about to witness the fulfillment of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39.

Hey U.N.!

Ready the Evacuation Boats! If you don’t it’s your own damned fault. There is a refugee problem about to happen on the Egyptian border. Egypt can take these malcontents or you can!

Say “Good By” Gaza, don’t just occupy, annex it. Let them go “negotiate” with Egypt, Iran and Russia, you’ve put up with their B/S long enough now.

It will need to spiral completely out-of-control in order for us to be able to reclaim & restore our once formerly great USA.
