Situation is still fluid. Multiple incidents, some still ongoing. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has already issued a statement suggesting a large IDF operation directed at Gaza/Hamas is in the pipeline.

Plausible. Turkey and others have stepped up the rhetoric against Assad in recent days, so this could be Assad’s buddies trying to relieve some pressure.

This is the time for President Obama to “reach out” to HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, in addition it would help to pressure Israel into retreating and giving up land in order to ease Arab terror operations against Israeli civilians in buses. When will Hussein and Shrilliary wake up? They called for Mubarak to step down and this is one of the consequences of that request. Where is Obama now, after Assad in Syria slaughtered at least 2,000 people?? Where?

As some Freeper said, if Syria and Iran find a way to make Israel attack Arabs, they can dodge bullets from Sunni Arab nations.

I seem to recall it being written , forgive me if I muddle it or do not get it word perfect. But I seem to recall it is written ...” I will curse those that curse thee.” The bloody evil who teach it is the will of their bloody god to kill the
Jew ,wherever they find them. IMO bring a curse upon their seed. I can only cry Hosanna. And pray we will receive beauty for ashes.

Yes, you are correct, my FRiend. It is Genesis 12.
I will BLESS those who Bless thee,
And Curse those who Curse thee.
Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem.

Hardline Gaza factions obviously have no interest in whatever peace plan might be in the offing from the US or the UN. They want more than a square deal, and on their own terms. Watch for more trouble in the weeks to come.

Let’s hope it is. Sometimes you have to break a few things to get the point across that terrorism is a dead end street.

I’m a little confused - they are saying the missles came from Egypt. Eilat is on the coast near Saudi Arabia that meant the missles came all the way across Saudi?
