Israel Monday rebuffed the UN Security Council’s call for an immediate and humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. In a call to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Binyamin Netanyahu said that the text relates only to the needs of “a murderous terrorist organization which attacks Israeli civilians.” It fails to address the harm inflicted on Israeli citizens and Hamas’ misuse of UN facilities for launching attacks on those citizens. Netanyahu delivered his reply as Hamas renewed rocket attacks at noon Monday, with Israeli resuming air strikes on rocket targets towards evening.

Hamas’ misuse of UN facilities...

Don't forget to leave out the UN's misuse of UN facilities to aid and abet Hamas.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Israel will cease fire as soon as Hamas ceases fire, UN Security Apparatchiks.

[elpadre]

a ceasefire now will only make things worse afterwards. Israel, if it seeks a peaceful time, must eradicate Hamas as an organization - all their fighters and equipment. Keep moving Israel, give them no quarter. The alternative is no Israel.

[veracious]

The people of Israel, both those in the land or elsewhere do not want to have any more IDF soldiers killed/wounded, which is what happens after Hamas rearms and reorganizes withn truce times. Furthermore Hamas continues dropping explosive devices upon women and children thru the truces.

[Netz]

Hopefully Netanyahu’s IDF is zeroing in on the HAMAS HQ.
G-d willing a Bunker Buster takes out the entire HAMAS leadership in one nearly atomic blast. Then Netanyahu can agree to a ceasefire...

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hang tough Israel!!! There are a lot more Americans who support you than you think!!! Keep up the good work!

[aces]

Israel must clear out the enemies of its state, no options left...also time to hit irans nukes..

[aces]

Hello my israeli friends, do us a favor and take out the un while ur at it..

The Prime Minister’s Office has just sent a partial transcript of Benjamin Netanyahu’s conversation with Ban Ki-moon, in which the prime minister lays out the reasons for rejecting the UN Security Council’s statement on a ceasefire:

The Security Council Presidential Statement relates to the needs of a murderous terrorist organization that is attacking Israeli civilians and does not address Israel’s security needs, including the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip according to the principle laid down in the interim agreements with the Palestinians. The statement does not refer to attacks on Israeli civilians, or to the fact that Hamas has turned the residents of Gaza into human shields and uses UN facilities to attack Israeli civilians. Israel accepted three UN proposals for humanitarian truces, and Hamas violated them all. Even now they are continuing to fire at Israeli civilians. Israel will continue to deal with the terrorist tunnels, and this is only the first step in the demilitarization. Instead of the funds of the international community serving the construction of terrorist tunnels for perpetrating large-scale attacks against Israeli civilians, the international community needs to act toward the demilitarization of Gaza.

I am pleased that I see little anti-Israeli sentiment on this board; but it seems many elsewhere figure its Israel's duty to simply to keep wasting billions using iron dome, rather than getting at the source.

[combat_boots]

” to simply to keep wasting billions using iron dome”

disagree. Iron Dome rocks

[Rome2000]

the international community needs to act toward the demilitarization of Gaza

Not much chance of that.

Be nice when we have a POTUS who isn't either a muslim or in bed with them.

Then the islamonazis will have an enemy in the White House instead of an ally.

Amin Al Husseini seen inspecting his Hanzar Division made up exclusively of Muslims, mostly from the Crotia/Bosnia/Serbia region. They actively lead the genocide against Serbs, Serbian Jews and Gypsies.

Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe's Jews to the gas chamber. The Third Reich provided Amin Al Husseini with a salary and appointed him Head of the Hanzar SS Division. The Hanzar Division was made of Nazi Muslims and implemented the genocide of 250,000 Serbs, Gypsies and Jews during WWII.

Amin Al Husseini shown here on a Nazi poster recruiting fellow Muslims to join Hitler in the fight against the West and the Jews. His disciples today include Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein and the leaders of Hamas, Al Qeida and Islamic Jihad.

I know it rocks. What I mean is I keep hearing this argument that the Israelis should not invade Gaza since Iron dome is so successful. I just ask why should they have to rely on the dome for their security, considering how much each missile cost - I know right now the US is subsidizing the cost, but what if that ends....
