Leaders defend Gaza strike (on “Palestinians” who use kids as human shields)
Boston Globe ^ | Dec 27, 2008
Posted on December 27, 2008 5:34:04 PM PST by PRePublic

Jewish Leaders defend Gaza strike

Boston Globe, United States

Hamas’s disregard for Israeli life is matched by its disregard for the lives of Palestinians living in Gaza. Using innocent Palestinians as human shields, Hamas purposely fires its missiles from homes, schools and community centers, confident in the knowledge that when Israel finally acts to stop the killing of its own civilians, Palestinians will also inevitably be harmed. The use of Palestinian civilians as human shields is not merely unspeakably cruel. It is also a fundamental violation of Palestinian human rights by the Hamas leadership.

Israel cares deeply about protecting the lives of civilians, both in Israel and in the Gaza Strip. Its efforts this weekend to stop the Hamas attacks represent classic self-defense, undertaken reluctantly by an Israeli nation that longs for peace.

Israel is now compelled to act to defend its citizens.

Hamas doesn’t care about Civilians (except the PR Value)... Israel should not care, either.

Israel has the right to defend itself and this is a very good time to demonstrate power. The USA is fading fast and Obama will, at best, give only lip service to Israel.

I have Israeli friends who say confidentially that Gaza should be bulldozed into the sea and cemented over (not the people, just the infrastructure). Something must be done now, before the Bush Administration is gone or Israel is toast.

It may be prudent for Israel to rearrange things and borders while there is still a friendly administration in the White House.

Surprising to read a news article which supports Israel and explains what Hamas is doing. Most news sources seem to leave out this important piece of information. Thanks.

Israel Bombing Lebanon and Gaza = opposite of what you hear in illuminati media

The organization behind the last Israel "wars" is not the same as behind the the 6 days war, 1968, ... 40 years, the last generation, from miraculous victories leading to biblical resurection in 1948  and survival of Israel in 1967...  to fake wars now. Rumors of wars and bombings for the camera, a central  part of the last chapter of the anti-Bible.

“Re: Israeli Operations in Gaza: A Open Letter to the “unbiased” World Press”

SNIPPET: “Dear Professional “Unbiased” Journalists of the World Press:

It never ceases to amaze me that so little has been said by you regarding the callous attacks by the palestinians of Gaza against Israeli civilians, schools, hospitals, children, etc., etc. with rockets and mortars day after day.

The death of an Israeli child or student or housewife or the destruction of an Israeli home never makes for news...but let Israel say enough is enough and what do you say? That the Israeli “retaliation” was “disproportionate “.

What do you mean by retaliation? Israel has been absorbing rocket and mortar fire from Gaza into its cities for months upon months without an incursion into Gaza. How long do you think the United States would tolerate San Diego being shelled by Mexico? This action is not retaliatory...it is Purely Defensive.”
