Defense Minister Ehud Barak urged the cabinet on Sunday to consider discussing in its next session the use of counter fire in response to the Qassam rockets being launched at the Negev from the Gaza Strip.
During a debate on the matter of reinforcing Gaza-area homes, Barak suggested that the matter of responsive fire be raised during the cabinet's next meeting on Wednesday.
The defense minister stressed that the most recent Israel Defense Forces operation, which was carried out to destroy a tunnel from the coastal territory believed to be intended for abducting soldiers, was a "defensive raid."
"The operation does not give the Palestinian organizations justification for breaching the calm," he said.

So a response to the Qassam barrage is a violation of the cease fire? I don't know what to make of the world, lately. Logic has no meaning anymore.
Helicopter gunships can patrol Gaza and fire at the first sight of a missle launch. The bastards want to set up the missle launch pad on top off a hospital that’s their problem.
From the title I thought Obama was suggesting Israel fire back. I got my Barak’s mixed up but should have known better.
Wanna bet several DUmmies crapped their pants over that headline? Rahm Emmanuel works fast, lol.
ROFL....Emergency rooms across the country must be full of lib heart attack victims...
Wow, after EIGHT THOUSAND shells and rockets fired at Negev towns, someone MAYBE thinks that Israel MIGHT be morally justified in shooting back.
(Not that the UN and the rest of the world won’t condemn it, though...)
It’s Israeli racism./s
But, once again, military force is OK if a Dhimmicrat is in charge. It's evil (and let's protest at Green Lake in Seattle every Sunday) if its a Republican in charge.

CONSIDER firing back?
No way of knowing, but had Sharon remained in power, I suspect the response would have been forceful. Which would have put the Gaza withdrawl in a different light.
Barack: Israel Should Consider Surrendering to Qassam Launchers
same here
Consider?
No. Israel should seize land in response to every attack that breaches the current border.
A reprisal that destroys a house or kills a couple of losers is no reprisal at all. Israelis care more about the lives of terrorists than the arabs do. You can kill them all day long and it will transmit no pain at all to the people deploying them.
Only the loss of land transmits any pain, and only loss of land will get the point across. They’ll get pretty mad the first time you do it. And the second. After that they’ll get the message. The seizures have to be permament; the land has to be annexed and integrated into Israel proper.
Just do it! Fire away!
Feed em fish heads Israel!!!!!
I’m surprised that Barak didn’t suggest that the government storm troopers just didn’t rip out all Jews from Ashkelon to Jerusalem and destroy their houses so that the arabs could occupy Jewish land. That would stop the missles—//major sarc///
