'No money to Gaza until rockets stop'(Binyamin Netanyahu)
The Jerusalem Post ^ | Mar 2, 2009 | Herb Keinon

Posted on 03/04/2009 4:20:30 AM PST by appleseed

Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu voiced serious reservations during recent meetings with foreign leaders about money going into the Gaza Strip for reconstruction before the rocket fire on Israel has stopped, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

After hearing in one meeting that European taxpayers were concerned about investing in Gaza only to see further destruction at the hands of the IDF, Netanyahu explained that Israel tried hard to avoid civilian casualties and targeted only those areas used by terrorists. He then reportedly said he was not willing to sacrifice Israel's security "for a smile."

Sources close to Netanyahu said it would be critical for humanitarian aid to bypass Hamas, especially with the Islamist group continuing to fire rockets into Israel.

One Netanyahu aide said that with the Gaza reconstruction conference, it seemed as if the world felt that attacks on Israel were a thing of the past, when they were taking place daily.

It almost seems like Bibi is a lone voice in the wilderness. With Hillary now in Israel, boasting about 0bama's $900 mil. to Gaza, I think this would be the perfect time to let loose on Iran and finish off the threat in Gaza just to see her poop in her pantsuit.

re: let loose on Iran

It’s been abundantly clear to me for several years now that getting a handle on Iran is the only way you will ever bring even a semblance of order to that part of world. And the longer we go without moving against them the more it will take. We’re at, or very near, the point now where the only answer will be their destruction.

They have no intention of ever getting along with the rest, non-Muslim, world. They are not content to live and let live. They feel compelled by their religion, back by century after century of teaching, to kill those who don’t share their religion. And now they are on the verge of having access to a nuclear capability. A capability they’ve bragged far and wide that they will use to trigger the return of their messiah.

How much more do we need?

I agree, BB needs to go ahead and start the war and force Bambi to choose sides. Its inevitable anyway. Why this a$$hat wants to give these animals a $billion is beyond me. They would gladly kill Americans if given the opportunity. Plus, Israel will just have to wipe out anything they spend this on when the idiots push things to far again.

IF AND ONLY IF Israel is ready to fight and win, THEN I agree.

Now is as good as any time, there's not much left to wait for. Obama won't help unless forced into it and even then he might not. But it has to happen sometime.

THUD

Fools like Hillary Clinton and George Mithell, think they can go over to Israel and bribe the people there, to give their land to a bunch of godless people, who hope to destroy them.
