Report: Rockets Fired from Egypt Hit Israel
Weekly Standard ^ | Friday, November 16, 2012 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 11/16/2012 7:52:43 PM PST by upchuck

Two major Israeli newspapers are reporting that rockets fired from Egypt have hit Israel.

"Terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula launched rockets into Israel Friday night," reports the Jerusalem Post. "The rockets fell near an Israeli village on the southern border, causing some damage, but no injuries."

The Israeli daily Haaretz reports, "Rockets fired from direction of Egypt toward Eshkol Regional Council."

It appears no damage was reported in connection with the rocket fire from Egypt. Earlier today, the Egyptian prime minister visited Gaza to express solidarity with the Palestinians there.

This new front comes a day after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv and on the same day Israel's capital Jerusalem was the target of rocket fire. Those attacks were courtesy of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

"After Tel Aviv metropolitan area, capital under fire too: An air raid siren was sounded in Jerusalem and surrounding communities early Friday evening. After residents reported hearing blast sounds, security forces confirmed that one rocket had landed in the Gush Etzion area near a Palestinian village," Ynet reports.

Obama getting almost 70% of the Jewish vote opened the door.

Time for Israel to go super-asymmetrical, since no conventional help can be expected from us or any of the West.

Yes, he was—see my #5, copied and pasted from an FR article on the preceding page.
I wonder if our Cipher-in-Chief knew about what’s set forth in this article: “Earlier today, the Egyptian prime minister visited Gaza to express solidarity with the Palestinians there.”
How is this trying to trying to “calm the situation in Israel and Gaza”?
Then the PM skedaddled back to Cairo in order to miss being rocketed?

In any event, it doesn’t matter. This administration isn’t accountable for anything. I keep forgetting.

I really don't know how Israel puts up with all of this shiite. I really wish they would unleash holy hell on these monsters and end the madness.

Roll through Gaza

Retake the Siani as a buffer

Move to the west bank and ask those monsters if they are ready to behave.

Lather, rinse, repeat for Syria, Lebanon, ...

He is so much like Lincoln. Except he is black, incompetent, and hates America. Other than that, you could not tell them apart.

Exit polls indicate that 70 percent of Jews voted for President Obama, compared to roughly 39 percent of white voters overall.
American's in Israel voted the other way. And remember at least 10% of them are Arab. Also, the Republican Jewish vote was suppressed by Sandy, which hit areas full of "Russian" Jews.
American Jews don't vote based on Israel and 1/3 are not fans of Israel.

Then do it now. Any other country complains, take them on a 7th century permanent vacation, too.

It is only a coincidence that Obama was on the phone with Egypt earlier today.

Perhaps.

The Golfer-in-Chief probably has an early tee time, and most golfers like to arrive at least an hour ahead of time. He’ll probably check in at the pro shop, then hit a warm up bucket and try to be at the first tee at least 10 minutes before his tee time.....
