Unfortunately Israel has said it will be quick incursions....in and out.

Same as before, they want to prevent the deaths of “civilians” who routinely strap on nail bombs to kill Israelis eating their lunch.

Their Ambassador on TV is worried about the “international community” opinions.

Same song and dance.

They have made grave error, and their bones will bleach in the sun to be eaten by rats and maggots, as Islam’s holy warriors once again, as always, slay the infidel w/out mercy or pity, and march on to victory after victory after victory, just like Islam’s warriors always do. So there.

I certainly hope that all the wedding parties escape unharmed. ( I know it is a waste of bandwidth, but the MSM coverage is so biased one has to say something.) I hope that the supply of virgins (or is it ripe grapes?) is not running out in heaven.

No, no, no, you’re reading the wrong script. This one’s: There are no Israeli’s in Gaza, they have all been defeated and turned around at the border, Gaza is fully under the control of Hamas.

Screw the terrorist-loving, “western media.” JUST DO IT!!! There are still a lot of Americans left in this country and we’re on your side.

What must it be like to hate Jews with a hatred unimaginable, be possessed of way too much macho pride, and, in the manliest of all possible arenas (combat) consistently and regularly have the mortal fricking sh&% beaten out of you, especially when you outnumber the Jews by HUGE margins? What must it be like?

"There is a critical emergency right now in the Gaza Strip," he said.
Yeah, the place is full of lunatics and the worst crazies of all are in charge.

But that's not news.

The Israeli leadership will send these guys in, they’ll do a few things and then they’ll be out in a week with no real net effect. As was the case with Hezbolla, PC and terrorist loving ‘world opinion’ will rule the day, as it always does.

As long a Hamas exists they will claim victory, no matter how much damage has been done to them, and the rest of the terrorist lovng world will agree with them.

This problem will not be solved until Netanyahu is in charge of Israel.

Israel briefly opened its border Friday to allow nearly 300 Palestinians with foreign passports to flee the besieged area.
Maybe they should have been ready to do this with much larger numbers. Have camps ready for any Gaza people who want out of the fighting. Camps with good food and flatscreen TVs. Entice the populace out and then grind what remains into powder.

What must it be like? To win?

Hamas, as usual is fighting a propaganda war....and winning.

Until Israel gets serious, and goes in full force...instead of the “incursions” they are touting (to save civilians), they will continue to lose their land and their country.
