Israel presses Gaza assault, 31 killed (Kim Jong-il helps Israel)

While the world is fixated on N. Korean missile launches, Israel moves into Gaza to clean the clock. Reminds me of Syrian incursion into Lebanon while Gulf War I was raging in Mesopotamia. Palestinians have only Kim Jong-il to blame for lack of international coverage. Hamas picked the bad timing to start this conflict. They appear to be hammered relentlessly.

"Disproportionate use of force"....

Kofi "The Thief" Annan Alert.

Kofi, from me to you..You and your Arab buddies can get stuffed.

[Darkwolf377]

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas called on the international community to halt the deadly assault.

Boo-frickin-hoo.

This is what happens when your only joy in life, apparently, is seeing others in pain (US on 9/11; Israel).

If you morons would behave like human beings instead of animals, maybe the rest of the international community would show more interest. But Palestinians are the biggest bunch of moral cowards on the planet--you talk tough, you kill innocent people, and when someone hits back you cry like babies.

Tough crap.

[American in Israel]

Why is it only disproportionate use of force when it is against terrorist and not school buses. The Pali's kill more school girls on a market day than the IDF kills terrorists fighting them.

Obviously the IDF is far more "proportionate" than the Arab League.

"Disproportionate use of force"....

Uhm, Kofi baby, that's what you DO. See, a lesser proportion ain't as effective.

Go Israel. Go get your guy back (and don't stop there).

"Hundreds of mourners perspiring in the oppressive heat attended the funerals for those killed on Thursday"

Napalm.....

[Maynerd]

In the occupied West Bank, another Palestinian militant was shot dead in clashes with Israeli forces in Nablus, where radicals have threatened to unleash untold violence should Israel move further into Gaza.

LOL. Be careful Israel the Palis are really po'd and they may disregard the Marquis of Queensberry rulebook. Meanwhile the Pali leadership is squealing like a pig to the UN. What a bunch of pathetic nihilistic losers.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Will somebody actually clean out the Palestine toilet!

[river rat]

Kofi "The Bribed" Anus "..disproportionate use of force".

Wrong again, the Jews are using only enough force to kill the freaking cockroaches...

They are NOT hacking them up, slitting throats or beheading...as the practitioners of the "religion of peace" habitually admit to, threaten and televise to celebrate...

The REAL Jews are simply taking out the trash and exterminating the cockroaches...

Semper Fi

[Cinnamon]

Kofi Anus go *bleep* yourself!

with 30 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier killed since Thursday.

Of course there is no information about the line of work of these palestinians, while the dead Israeli is a soldier. So, any normal person reading the article will minimally assume the 30 is made up of some mixture terrorists and innocents, thus Israel BAD and Pali's just being defensively good. Knowing how the pale's work thru the media, my presumption is those 30 are made up of terrorists and a few hapless non-combatants that the terrorists forced to be with them in an attempt of their own at maximizing civilian deaths.

[Triggerhippie]

UN chief Annan said in a statement: "I call again for an immediate halt to the disproportionate use of force by Israel."

I would have give the UN some credit had Annan counseled Palestinians to "learn to pick their battles better."

[Lurker]

Wake me up when the Israelis start using cluster bombs on these 'funerals'.

I want to cheer them on.

They begged for war and now they've got it.

I'm not sympathetic.

Perhaps someday when they are tired killing and hating they can have peace. But until then, let them stew in their own juices.

Re #14

They almost certainly counted on non-stop international coverage, when they hatched this plan. Alas, international media is busy covering Chia Head. Without international media, they are as good as dead.

[Southack]

"They begged for war and now they've got it. I'm not sympathetic."

It's like Helen of Troy except with an Israeli soldier instead of a Greek beauty pageant winner.

The Palis in Gaza are simply reprising the losing role of Troy, a city that was ground to dust and lost to History for 2,000+ years.

PING

"Israel waged fresh air and ground attacks on northern Gaza, one day after reoccupying land in the deadliest 24 hours in the territories for four years with 30 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier killed since Thursday."

Wow, I like Israels chances, there winning at a 30 to 1 ratio.
It's too bad that Hamas isn't smart enough to figure out the folly in continuing this. They started this and are now finding that the Israelis aren't going to roll over, Amen.

[goldstategop]

Its good timing.... Kim Il Jong's missles have preoccupied every one's attention - and Hamas doesn't exactly have sympathy given its Islamofascist orientation.

(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)

"Meanwhile the Pali leadership is squealing like a pig to the UN. What a bunch of pathetic nihilistic losers."

Note the Pali's pocketbook sockpuppet buddy the EU ain't sayin' a word. That's how Hamhockmas knows they've really screwed up this time.
