Hamas Headquarters Leveled, 'Gaza Power Grid Targeted'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 17/11/12 | Gil Ronen

The IDF's pounding of Hamas' infrastructure in Gaza entered its fourth day Saturday, and is deemed as highly successful until this point.

The Hamas government headquarters, which housed Gaza "prime minister" Ismail Haniyeh's offices, were leveled to the ground. In addition, "security compounds, tunnels and electricity transformers" were hit, according to Al Jazeera. "Missiles also knocked out five electricity transformers, plunging more than 400,000 people into darkness, according to the Gaza electricity distribution company," the news network reported.

The government has approved the call-up of 75,000 reservists and massed troops, tanks and armored vehicles along the border with Gaza, signaling a ground invasion could be imminent.

The IDF's attacks from air and sea have been very accurate, and attempts to minimize civilian deaths have also been relatively successful, although with Hamas, one never knows when a family may be purposely placed in harm's way to create a bloodbath that can be blamed on Israel....

When this latest pounding of Hamas is over, we will see the media focus on one or two Ululating morons firing their guns in the air and declaring victory over the evil Jews.

We used to have a great deal of fun on car-be-que threads - watching the palis jump around and manhandle the survivors. I do’nt know what happened to that.

“Bomb them back to the 7th Century.”

Thaty’s the problem—sharia and the humpin’ goat pedophile have kept them in the 7th century.

-———watching the palis jump around———

In my view, that spectacle is a wonderful target

No it hasn't. There wouldn't be a power grid to target if it had. They couldn't support the population density of that hell-hole if they had to rely on donkeys and camels to bring in supplies.

When I say 7th Century, I mean just that. No electricity, modern communications, modern medicine, transportation, sanitation...NOTHING that wasn't available in 620 AD.

Nice to see a country whose leaders believe in protecting its citizens. Nothing like our ‘Shoot later, ask questions first’ PC, America-apologists...

There are only two entities to blame for anything that happens in this world, it's either George Bush's fault or Israel's fault.

Cheers!

Personal anecdote: We were making a small kiddush (banquet-let) at our synagogue in honor of my father-in-law’s yahrtzeit (anniversary of his death). We bought some cakes. We made some salads. Due to the missiles reaching Central Israel, a young couple moved their wedding from a large hall in Kiryat Malachi to a private home,and returned a large amount of goodies to the caterers. The caterers are the Tabachnik family, that makes the kosher frozen soups available in the US. The family matriarch lives near us in Kiryat Arba, and she donated this humungous amount of food to us for our kiddush, which was unfortunately underattended, as such things tend to be. So now we are stuck with a ton of mock chopped liver, eggplant, cake, salads made with strange vegetables I don’t know the names of, potato and macky salads, and soda. My mother-in-law, widow to the aforementioned, is living with us, and has just let me know that she has been up with heartburn all night because she can’t stomach this kind of food. So now it’s up to the three of us, wife, ten-year-old son and self, to finish this mountain. I’m trying to lose weight. At least we won’t have to shop for a while.

If Israel was not constrained by conscience, there would not be an Arab alive in Gaza. If the Arabs in Gaza were not constrained by military reality, there would not be a Jew alive in Israel.

On the waistline, in this case!

Well zu gesund. Like the late Allan Sherman wrote in one of his ditties “let my diet start tomorrow, for today I drown my sorrow in a double malted milk.”

Theologically I’m Christian. But gastronomically I think Judaism has it down pat. No Baptist supper was ever like that.
