fyi
sounds like this reporter took reporting lessons at CNN...
We put up with these stupid rockets/mortars almost daily. They inflict little or no damage or injuries. Unmanned air planes should patrol the area and shoot hellfire missiles at the launching areas. The Arabs only respond to one thing: Brute force that kills 100 of theirs to every one they kill. That’s why we are still here in Iraq and Afghanistan and troop morale is lower than I’ve ever seen it; we are trying to fight a civilized war with an uncivilized people. We need to either fight or pull out now.
My Old Testament memory is a bit dodgy sometimes: can someone please remind me — was “Ashkelon” once a Philistine stronghold in the time of King David?
The Israeli’s deserve the missiles, and the suicide bombings, and the massacres. Any country not willing to do what it takes to survive, is asking for war and terrorism.
Why are food shipments allowed to go into Gaza? Why are Gazans enjoying Israeli gas and electricity? Why do tens of thousands of Gazans work in Israel? Why are the Kasam attacks not answered by artillery barrages against densely populated areas? Why are imprisoned terrorists not executed in retribution for Israeli civilian deaths? Why is the whole sh*thole not pulverized into dust???
You gonna fight a war with kid gloves, you will get missiles up your butt. Hitler was not defeated by feeding German civilians, supplying them with gas and electricity, and letting them work in the US.
Before anyone flames me, I am an Israeli and have two cousins in the IDF. I love Israel and would die for that country, but the cowardice of the politicians and population makes me want to vomit.
Let’s see. Suppose a Pali rocket takes out the Israeli power plant. Palis cry to the UN that Israel is not providing electricity to Gaza. The UN censures Israel.
Is that about right?
It seems some posters fail to realize the Ashkelon is an overwhelmingly Jewish city today in Israel proper.
