Special Report: JERUSALEM—Around 100 rockets were launched at Israel from Gaza over the weekend as of Sunday afternoon according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Twitter feed, with the casualty count rising on Saturday. One person in Beersheba was killed in the attacks on Saturday night, according to Yonatan Yagodovsky, the director of the Magen David Adom (Israeli emergency medical service) International Department. The latest escalation with Gaza started with Thursday’s multipronged terror attack on the route to Eilat that killed multiple Israeli civilians.

It was hilarious this week, Obama operatives on the White House F/B page were screeching ‘STOP THE KILLING OF CHILDREN IN GAZA! STOP THE KILLING OF CHILDREN IN GAZA!’...as the Gazans were launching rockets head over heels into Israel.

Sorry, but I have absolutely no pity at all for what is falling on Gaza today. Those puppies keep picking a fight with the wrong bull dog and reap what they sow.

They want recognition as an independent state, yet won’t recognize Israel. They know they’re not going to get that recognition as long as Hamas controls them. So now the Mozlem Brotherhood wants all out war as they’ve got access through Egypt for their rockets.

I hope Israel pounds them into the ground.
