Israel's air force fired around 20 missiles at targets in Gaza City on Saturday, causing heavy damage, a Reuters witness said. The IDF has confirmed the report. (Hanan Greenberg and Reuters)

Well, that’s good news.

[Cindy]

Yep.

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTTT for later.

My prayers are for Israel’s safety...please Lord, hear these prayers.

Everyone...time to REALLY MAKE SURE you are right with God. Dark times ahead...for not just Israel...

A follow up. Nidra Poller on AtlasShrugs write:

" Noting that Hamas spokesman Fawzi Baroum gave shooting orders—over the radio-- to rocket launchers near the Israeli border, the Metulla reporter supposes that the military communications network was destroyed. An airstrike against a building where Hamas military and political personnel had just gathered for an emergency meeting indicates, according to the same source, information gathered from human intelligence on the ground. The Metulla News Agency release concludes that Hamas, caught by surprise by “the timing, the scope, and the precision of the attack,” is desperately searching for some civilian victims to display as proof of an Israeli massacre."

They have a call in to Wolf Blitzer and Cris Matthews to get som dead kid shots on tv. Won’t be long.

I’m just going to address both of you at once since you both think my post demonstrated some sort of liberal guilt...

Let me make this perfectly clear — I could care less what is going on when Israel’s rockets hit their mark. Israel has already been WAY more patient than I think I ever could be were my home being pelted with rockets again and again.

What I was commenting on is the way the casualties are reported in the MSM when dealing with Hamas’, Lebanese, or Palestinian casualties - it is always accompanied by some mention of daily life, and/or always involves a group of children. This is not done for Israeli casualties (unless you are reading the Jerusalem papers, for instance...). It is a clear effort to control the way the news reaches the rest of the world in these conflicts. The Islamic Radicals and their supporters are not idiots - they know that if they provide the pictures, and the stories the Western papers will run them (if it bleeds it leads...). It doesn’t matter to them if the photos are “shopped”, or if the same pictures are used over and over — their goal is, as I said, to control the information heard in order to maximize most human beings’ compassion. Remember during the Lebanon War after a few weeks Israel was getting yelled at by the Global Community to stop bullying? All the while conveniently forgetting that Lebanon, Hamas, Hezbollah, and their supporters were the ones poking Israel over, and over again. I expect the same thing now — that Hamas, and their supporters will try to elicit the same “compassionate” response from the world as before by peppering their reports “from the front” with all manner of propaganda.

With that all said, I won’t apologize for praying and mourning the INNOCENT victims of any hostilities, anywhere... The ones who have no choice, and the ones who perhaps don’t agree with the brainwashed, frenzy-filled, hirabists among them in this case...

Again, this doesn’t mean that I am mourning the “activists” (as Neophyte called them) who are being taken out. I am fully aware that were the situation reversed they would be celebrating the deaths, and planning more.

[LibertyRocks]

Very nice... God bless Israel. I’ll be praying that those in the MSM, or at least in the general public start to see through the propaganda put forth by Hamas and their supporters.

[Cindy]

Yes, always praying.

[ScaniaBoy]

Yes, but as I wrote earlier (post #224) the usual suspects* may not be too pleased about that. If Olmerde and the rest of his government stand there as losers again, guess who will win the Israeli election in a landslide.

*UN, EU, the Dims, State Dept, the Foreign Office (London), etc, etc

[papasmurf]

If Israel and Gaza fight it out on their own it may settle down. My fear is the opportunity for Iran to jump in and try to accomplish their agenda...the destruction of Israel...add to it Russia will probably help and China would probably help Russia. I see the possiblities of dominos!!

Yes, all of that is possible. But, I don't think it will happen at this time. All of the pieces aren't yet in place.

Iran is a strong possibility, and it may be good for them to jump in now, and we can get that over with. At this time, IMO, the others will watch and try to learn so they can be better prepared to attack at a time of their choosing. In the meantime, they will be loudly and vociferously condemning us and Israel to the rest of the world.

What pieces are you watching for?

[Cindy]

Thanks to Ernest at the Beach for posting the thread in post no. 272.

[LibertyRocks]

Just FYI...

The following links from "Zombietime" are just a reminder of the lengths the Hamas/Hezbollah/Palestinian supporting PR people will go to in order to elicit a compassionate response from the world, and in order to frame Israel...

"The Red Cross Ambulance Incident" -
http://www.zombietime.com/fraud/ambulance/

"The Reuters Photo Scandal" -
http://www.zombietime.com/reuters_photo_fraud/

Let's hope the MSM has learned from the above incidents. Although, I won't hold my breath.

God Bless Israel, and her true friends and allies.

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTTT

[papasmurf]

If I were in command, they would consider themselves blessed if I left them a Camel between them all.

And, right now, if I were in command, I would also puff my chest towards Iran and Syria, too.

Let’s not forget, we have more than 100 thousand troops in the area and Iran sandwiched in between them. :)

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

FYI - this should draw a Hamas response
