Also in the news this morning, a Gaza bar -- yes, one that serves ALCOHOL -- claims to be serving 'resistance by the pint'. Isn't Islam supposed to be rabid anti-alcohol? I guess this shows the real side of Islam (keeping their own little secrets from the world so they can claim to be holier than thou.)

Pictures of Palestinians wailing about damage caused by Israeli response to their attacks on Israel?

Wake up folks. If you don't want the war you started, you have the power to stop it.

Gaza at least since hamas murdered and threw out the co governors the PLO in Gaza is often called Hamastan or maybe even better suburban Iran. Gaza is a terrorist strip and is not really even part of Plaestine any more. it is a sharia jihad gang thsat controls the area and they take orders form Iran. They are the agressors and commit unprovoke d attacks on a sovereign nation. Israel left Gaza years ago,but instead of building a decent societh they spend their time on terrorism.NBC coverage of a certani tit for tat conflict is a big lie,an illusion and only confuses things.The very Isalmic terrorists groups are criminal gangs.many of them taking orders from iran.The title of the article is obsolete.Israel id now very justifiably attackning the Gazan terrorists on many fronts after more than a hundred missiles were sent to Israel.Hamas puts missile site in crowded civilian areas and in a very real sense sacrifice their own babies.THis even compounds the crimes against humanity by thr Islamic gangs in Gaza!Israel must and will defend their country. and the missiles are sent to Israel proper and not to the disputed areas. All this could have been avoided if the Arabs had accepted their own state to reflect their own historical reality in 1948 through partition othe th ex British mandate. Instead they mostly set out to destoy a sovereign country.They are still intent on this horrible and mass murdering intention.If they continue ,I´m afraid to say it will be their own funeral.Israel,as any other country wouls will defend its people. and obviously take the war to the enemy when necessaryAnd as the writer above said.Wake up Arabs if you don´t want the war you started,,accept Israel .stop the aggressions and get your own state!

Please excuse the typos newsvine wasn´t cooperartive when i tried to correct them. But what´s a few typos compared to the continous acts of terrorism and criminal attacks and aggression on Israel?

The UN Human Rights Council has adjudged the Jewish state guilty of violating international law by repeatedly obliterating infrastructure and civilians in Palestinian neighborhoods with American tanks, fighter jets and white phosphorous. Innocent fathers, mothers and children are being killed, splattered actually. The Palestinian's response with crude rockets is pathetic. But those rockets do confirm that Palestine will not accept defeat, they “give proof through the night that (their) flag is still there.”

Besieged Palestinian Gaza is an experiment in provocation. Stuff one and a half million people into a tiny space, stifle their access to water, electricity, food and medical treatment, destroy their livelihoods, and humiliate them regularly...and, surprise, surprise - they turn hostile. Now why would you want to make that experiment? Because the hostility you provoke is the whole point. Now under attack you can cast yourself as the victim, and call out the helicopter gunships and the F16 attack fighters and the heavy tanks and the guided missiles, and destroy yet more of the pathetic remains of infrastructure that the Palestinian state still has left. And then you can point to it as a hopeless case, unfit to govern itself, a terrorist state, a state with which you couldn't possibly reach an accommodation. And then you can carry on with business as usual, quietly stealing their homeland.

Hey John, while youre glossing over facts, in the arab journalistic tradition. Israel has repeatedly shown an overt willingness to back off if the Arabs behave themselves. (see the west bank) Israel hasnt gotten tanks from America since the early 70s (fact). All of the technology inside of Israeli aircraft (purchased from the US) is israeli. The fact is the arabs have proven again and again and again (the number of times is incalculable ) that they have zero willingness to act in any sort of responsible manner. You speak of 1.5 million people besieged in gaza and the trauma that may cause. How about 8 million israelis, squeezed into an area smaller than new jersey, surrounded by howling mobs of violent lunatics more than willing to attack and murder anyone they get their grimy hands upon. Your attempt at analysis ignores the fact that Gaza is more or less a microcosm of Israel, except Israel doesnt destroy them even though the option is always there. You arabs supporters are like people who back someone into a corner and then bitch that that person is hogging all of the corners.

i could not have said it better... rickyricard...... it is mmost amazing how the arab continue to bring to the attention how so many arab children are killed and at the same time have parades with the children dressed as soldiers cARRYING GUNS .......and in the schools they are taught to hate an kill the israilis........ now even to the most ignorant does that make sense........ and at the same time they keep, firing missilsinto housung areas..... does that make sense...... even the dumbest would want their citizens protected from this nonsense ... and you great arab humanataries...... just think now if you would turn your attention to help the syrians..... thirty thousand have died so far.... more to come..... that would be more beni'ficial and something you could get your teeth into ......

Until the terrorist organization Hamas is eradicated, there will be no peace on Israel's southern border.

These events are proof of the lie that is 'land for peace'.

Of course, we are talking about the grand Islamic Nations support for terrorism against Israel. Prior to, and after 1948, the wondrous and enlightened Islamic true believers were busy throwing their own Citizens out of their own Nations. Their crime was that of believing anything other than Islamic fantasy... Israel should go house by house and eliminate any and all Hamas members. Anything less will simply be a waste of time. However, since Israel is not Islamic, they will be humane. The faith of Islam is one of hatred and terrorism directed at Women, Children and anyone who dares to believe in personal freedom.
