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

“Israel Completes Preparations for Gaza Offensive Amid Continuing Rocket Fire”
By Mark Lavie
Associated Press
Friday, December 26, 2008; Page A17
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “JERUSALEM, Dec. 25 — Israel moved closer to invading the Gaza Strip, saying Thursday that it had wrapped up preparations for a broad offensive after Palestinian fighters fired about 100 rockets and mortar shells across the border in two days.”
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.
If you live in Israel, please read this.

I'd prefer someone with a working knowledge of capitalization.
“Scores killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The mid-morning air raids followed days of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel by militants inside Gaza, which the Jewish state had warned would be met with harsh reprisals.”
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.
Launch against Israel, December 27, 2008.
IDF Retaliation.
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...)
Al-Jazeera: 155 dead now, 30 missiles fired, Egypt is calling for restraint from both sides
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
My hubby says that they know how to do it right and those graduating slimebuckets got an explosive welcome!
Typical terrorist propaganda. I am surprised it wasn't a wedding with 100s of women and children killed.
JPost reporting Iran Red Crescent vessel is headed to Gaza.
