Go get 'em, Israel!

fyi
Send 'em to hell Israel.
They should just drive them ALL from Gaza!
Jimmah Carter needs to talk to these folks.
Within Hours?
I shall expect good news when I get up in the morning.
The IDF should smite the jihadists wherever they are to be found..
For Pete's sake, don't threaten. Just do it without warning. Salute IDF!
The Palestinians don't want peace. Israel needs to crush them.
Does anyone ever bother to explain the harsh reality to these idiots that the "Palestinian Authority" are terrorists themselves?

Israel warns of Gaza Defensive Actions 'within hours'
| 7/16/05 | JERUSALEM Israel could launch a ground defensive operation in the Gaza Strip "within hours" unless the Palestinian Authority makes good faith efforts against terrorists there, a senior government official was quoted as saying on Sunday.
Israel Radio quoted Deputy Defense Minister Zeev Boim as saying tanks and troops that massed near Gaza over the weekend would begin a sweep of the coastal strip "within hours" if Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas failed to show some sign of living up to his "road map" promise to combat terrorism. Abbas claims he urged Hamas and allied Islamic terrorist groups on Saturday to halt attacks on Israel and return to a temporary tactical ceasefire, seen as key to securing Israeli withdrawal from Gaza as planned next month. He also blamed Israel for the truce's near collapse, characterizing its responses to Arab terror attacks as acts of aggression.
The Palestinian Authority's president's appeals came amid escalating terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians, and vows of revenge by Hamas over the retaliatory killing by Israel of seven of its organizers of those attacks.
The Israeli government is expected to require that its citizens not be fired upon as they are departing the land unilaterally ceded to Arab groups earlier this year.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who ordered military actions against armed members of Arab terrorist groups stepped up after a Palestinian suicide bombing and a rocket attack killed six Israeli civilians last week, has vowed not to withdraw families from Gaza under fire.
Israeli officials have said the army might carry out wide-scale defensive raids and maintain military presence in Arab areas that are attacking the 21 Jewish settlements to be evacuated.
