"Grog mad. Retaliation against
anti-Geneva Convention barbarity
is against the Geneva Convention"

"It would, Dr Abu Sisi said, take a “minimum of three to six months” to restore supplies at a cost between $5m (£2.8m) and $7m."
Good! That's 5 to 7 million they won't be spending on bullets, rockets and explosives. In the meantime let the pallies enjoy the fruits of their newly elected leadership.
No, they are not capable of rational thought.
It is a war after all. The current gov't of the Palestinians is Hamas and that is who committed the acts of war. The power plant is a valid war target.
Shalit is probably already dead. The Pali's blood lust is never-ending. Now, just who is "barbaric?"
You, the sand-dwelling idiots...stop killing people over the dead past, and start running some commerce other than letting your "royal" leaders and "holy" imams exploit you, and maybe you will be rich in two generations. Lord, what a gullible breed!
Well, this is rich. The Terrorist Nation now asks for the protection of the Geneva Convention after decades of blowing up Israel women and children on busses, in markets, and on the streets.
I bet a company of military engineers could have that transfomer yard back up and running in less than 72 hours.
I will admit ignorance of some of the specifics, but something just hit me:
Imagine you have a terrorist organization that is operating within your country. Because they are within your country, they are kind of hard to attack and root out. And in an age of political correctness, even though you know they enjoy the support of entire neighborhoods and towns, you just can’t really attack entire communities because it is really a “police action” sort of thing.
Now imagine that you slice off a chunk of your country and give it to these people. They then elect this same organization as the leader of their country. At that point, the next time they do you harm, you are now at war with their country and can attack their country with impunity.
In a sense you have put all the rotten apples in one barrel and have international law behind you to “clean house”.
The reason I came up with this is that I noticed that Israel has been finally handling this with the Iron Fist they have needed for some time. It is as if they believe something has empowered them to do it right.
Thoughts?
Amen.
Form your post, and by the way...PING
'Monkey see Monkey do in Jihadi Land'.
You have no tag line and that's a beauty.
Bright idea
Whoops! my bad, there's no electricity. No clue for you.
Funny.
Hi, RR.
See my tagline.
I think the Israelis have finally arrived at the obvious answer to their terrorist problems. If they hit us, we hit'em back with overwhelming force, and keep doing that until you modify the behavior of the terror group you are fighting. Kill'em and kill'em quick.
I hope it's not paid for by us. In the long run, I guess we end up paying for everything in the world that breaks.
Exactly. No power is simply the fruits of Hamas-led "diplomacy". Pick stupid leaders who don't value life a whit and you get less than desirable outcomes of their government policies.
The problem is, you have to have a government with the spine and resolve necessary to actually commit to cleaning house. The Israeli government no longer has that type of resolve, IMO. Neither does the U.S. Government.
Remember, this is a "Limited Operation".

The French killed my ancestors, the English killed my ancestors, the British aristocracy exploited my coal-mining Welsh ancestors, the Southerners killed my ancestors, the Germans killed my ancestors, my Uncle died at the hands of the Japanese, and I don't give a rat's backside. The dead are dead, the past is past, and I live in the richest country in the world. I have a home, heat in the winter, coolness in the summer, consumer electronics, two nice cars, a safe and mostly crime-free neighborhood, two healthy children, a medical plan that prevents most diseases, and the biggest fear that I have in my life is that I may eat myself to death because here in the United States we have so much food we eat for entertainment.You guys? You're great grandkids will live in poverty because you are still fighting the last war. You lost. Your leaders exploit you in the name of Allah, your fellow Arabs mouth a good line about how much they care about you, but you notice that they don't invite you to live in their countries. You had plenty of jobs doing work in Israel, but you'd rather blow up pizza parlors full of schoolchildren in the name of some kind of stupid "honor" that has kept you poor and wretched for fifty years when you could be doing the same thing the Jews did and turn YOUR section of desert into green farmland if you would work at it and stop whining.
Can you draw any conclusions from how we live and how you live, guys?
