As Hamas rockets continued to fall on Israel even after Jerusalem accepted the Egyptian ceasefire proposal at 9 A.M., Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that if Hamas does not accept the ceasefire than Israel will “have all international legitimacy to broaden the military operation to achieve the required quiet.”
Netanyahu, speaking at the beginning of a meeting in Tel Aviv with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, said that Israel “agreed to the Egyptian proposal in order to give an opportunity for the demilitarization of the Strip - from missiles, from rockets and from tunnels - through diplomatic means."
The prime minister, in his first public comments since Israel accepted the ceasefire, said that the purpose of Operation Protective Edge was and remains to return quiet to Israel's citizens while delivering a severe blow to Hamas and other terrorist organizations. He said that Israel succeeded in hitting the terrorist organizations in Gaza very hard, and prevented their efforts to attack Israeli citizens.

Tell the people to get out first then flatten the terrorists
Israel has the best intelligence in the world IMHO
Israel actually did warn the Palestinian civilians about that a day or two ago. The civilians were leaving the area that Israel warned them about.
When he is done there can he come over here and handle the mexico situation for us?
Israel will be accused of “breaking the cease-fire” that never existed.
well ya.. they are gods children after all ;)
“Tell the people to get out first then flatten the terrorists”
True. I have never agreed with this ‘measured response’ thing. Go in and kick derriere!
It’s too well established and it was announced clearly that Egypt brokered it and that Israel accepted, but that Hamas refused. It’s way too easy for anyone to refute ... with simply a “newspaper” in their hand ... LOL ...
About the only country in the world speaking out on behalf of Hamas right now is Turkey ... and they sound like real idiots for doing so.
After clearing out Gaza, bulldoze the place and start building Israeli settlements. Tell the West Bank Palestinian morons that this is their fate if they keep firing rockets into Israel. You only get to pull on Superman's cape before he really gets mad and cleans your clock.
They’re on their heels - Hamas - so hit ‘em hard now while you can.
Israel doesn’t commit war crimes!
If Israel targeted Palestinian civilians in order to kill them and in order to get them to leave the country and force a mass migration of the population (which is exactly what the enemies of Israel claim it does) - then that would be a war crime.
If Israel targets Hamas operatives and Hamas buildings and war material, and avoid hitting Palestinian civilians (which is what Israel says it does and “does”) - then that is not a war crime.
The second of the two paragraphs is what Israel actually does and which the ENEMIES OF ISRAEL deny that they do. Also those who “feign support” for Israel also are the ones who urge Israel to commit war crimes (and Israel doesn’t listen to those “faux-supporters”).
> Israel actually did warn the Palestinian civilians about that a day or two ago. The civilians were leaving the area that Israel warned them about.
Majority of terrorists probably left too...: )
I bet Obama will be very pissed about this for days....
Their facilities and buildings can’t get up and walk away ... :-) ...
As far as getting the actual Hamas operatives themselves, Israel is pretty good at getting them when they least expect it .... it just goes “boom” on them.
I could see Soros running around frantically in his twisted underwear with a voodoo doll in his hand screaming “it’s not working...not working the way I planned it!” full of anxiety and pissed off at the same time....
Destroy them. Until they come crawling.
You don’t cry peace and accept violence.
If the other guy betrays his word, he deserves what he gets.
Go, Iron Dome!
