In a special session called in the wake of the IDF operation in Gaza and the situation in southern Israel, Netanyahu called upon the citizenry of Israel, Jews and Arabs alike, to stand united behind the IDF’s actions in the south. He likewise called for a change in policy that would restore Israel’s deterrence. “For three transgressions of Gaza, I will turn away but for the fourth, I will not”, Netanyahu opened his address in the plenum session of the Knesset quoting from the Prophet Amos.
“For firing upon civilians, for taking cover behind civilians, for causing suffering to our citizens, and for causing suffering to their citizens, we will strike back at the terror in double measure , said Netanyahu and enumerated the crimes of the Hamas: “for destroying our communities, for destroying hope, we will pay them back with an iron hand, the hand of the Jewish people, as the Prophet Amos said: “I will send fire in the walls of Gaza.”
“There is no nation in the world who would have acted differently, said Netanyahu, noting that “For years we have been saying that the ceasefire was an illusion and that we have to move from passivity to activity. But now is not the time for divisiveness. Now is the time to focus on the challenge of the present.”

Have Obama sign it with them so it will be ordained!!
Just wait until they get a load of our new President with his chiseled pecs and spine of steel. Then they will fall silent and behave themselves.
I hope that after January 20, 2009 that the US would act the same.
