Yeah, when the Muslims win or everyone else gives up. Then it will be as the Muslims say, The House of Peace under Islam.

Actually, Israel had incoming 80 + rockets and 20 or so mortars before they did anything. That’s like turning the other cheek 100 times at least.

If Mexico did that to the USA; how many rockets and mortars, explosives of various types would it take before we respond?

I hope we never have to find out.

You should go troll somewhere else.

Since Israel withdrew from Gaza a few years back, Hamas has launched over 5,000 rockets/mortars at Israel.

Israel has turned the other cheek 5,000 times.

Idiot.

Oh, I don't think you have to worry about that. Seems like one of your fellow Austrians took care of Jews in your neighborhood some 60 years ago or so.

Take your first picture and multiply several thousand times over.

Then you would actually get a bit closer to reality.

I wouldn’t be surprised, since these attacks are aimed at police stations, that this is really an attack on Hamas; and that FATAH and the PLA are not unhappy with them.

And that an attempt will be made by FATAH and the PLA
to re-establish their own control over Gaza as soon as Hamas’ forces have been decimated by Israel.

IOW, Olmert is helping out the PLA, so that once the PLA controls Gaza again, the “road to peace” can continue.

(I don’t ascribe any good motives to Olmert at this point...)

After Olmert’s weak Lebanon debacle, I wouldn’t put anything past him.

Regardless of the motivation though, I won’t shed a single tear for Hamas.

There is an alternative.....

The west bank leaders have written Gaza off. Gaza must sink or swim on its own. The dream of a united Pali nation is sundered

Hamas-owned media outlets have reported that according to medical officials some 120 people, including schoolchildren, have been killed in a series of Israeli aerial strikes on Gaza. (Ali Waked)

Typical terrorist propaganda. I am surprised it wasn't a wedding with 100s of women and children killed.
