It didn’t take long, but then the religious psychopaths in Hamas gave the Israelis no other choice. Look at it this way – if a major social group in Mexico was sitting in Tijuana lobbing missiles at San Diego and the Mexican government did nothing about it, would the United States have the right to respond?

Dammit, Roger, once again you fail to grasp one of the simplest “progressive” dualities…
Mexicans are entitled to wander across the border at will.
Jews are not entitled to return to Israel.
I mean, really, how hard is this to keep straight. Remember, we hold these untruths to be self-evident…
Total war can’t be far off. Israel is going to come down on Hamas like a ton of bricks; it’s simply a matter of time. I hope Hamas has some slight idea of what thay’re messing with. They’re about to get many innocent people killed.
Too bad Israel didn’t wait longer. They would sieze a much bigger weapons cache than they will.
Mexico may not be lobbing bombs, but it is lobbing Mexicans over our border. These are human beings and not explosives, of course, but their presence is terribly destructive nonetheless, to the most marginal of Americans who compete in the job market for unskilled work. Even if people in a higher bracket benefit from lower hotel and restaurant prices.
If millions of people with my skill set were let into the States in flagrant disregard of the law, I’d be plenty damaged myself.
Roger:
You are using logic and reason. You don’t understand the international rules of war for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Palestinians are allowed to send rockets and the Israeli are not allowed to respond, except with negotiations. hamas and the assorted terror networks, who openly state that their primary goal is the elimination of Israel, are allowed to use schools, Mosques, Ambulances, and any other civilian building to stage their attacks and the Israeli government is judged barbaric if they try to eliminate those war staging areas. The palestinians are allowed to target non defense targets with non combatants as their primary targets and the acts that would normally be judged as terrorism are excused because of palestinian frustration. Of course the Israeli government and people are not allowed to use anger or frustration as a justification for targeting those military targets that are being housed in civilian locations. When an Israeli child is lost to a pipe bomb the world does allow mourning but the Israeli are reminded that it is their Zionist nature and the “cycle of violence” that are the primary cause of the deaths. When a Palestinian women or child is killed it is back to the normal “But you killed a child you butcher” that Israeli women and children are not allowed to receive. Now that you know the rules I will hope you will conform your post’s to the proper content. Thank you for your patience, you American tool of the Protocols
of Zion war machine.
If the aggressed State is called Israel, it is not allowed to respond. It’s supposed to make concessions.

About time. Death by APACHE!
The United States has been in that position before, Roger. It was 1914 or so. And the fellow in question was Francisco ‘Pancho’ Villa. The American Commander was a chap named Pershing. And his ADC was a young man named Patton who you might have heard of in another context….
The Palestinians managed to kill 14 of their own in an explosives “accident”. So far they are doing more harm to each other than the Israelis are.
I hope the Israelis keep building that wall. I don’t really think pulling settlers out of Gaza was a mistake if the Israelis can get their people inside a defendable perimeter but that does not mean they have to just sit back and let Hamas attack them.
If they were just another bunch of heavily armed Arabs nobody would think twice of them shooting back.
I hope the IDF cranks up its UAV “Target Hamas Leadership” again. And Hezbollah and AQ as well if they pop up around Gaza.
Terrye,
Hamas claims that explosion was caused by the IDF. Therefore their 35 rocket attacks were justified as retaliation. The Israeli defense minister has said he wants to teach all of Palestine a lesson. I hope he succeeds. The AP report I read sounded surprised that the Gaza pullout didn’t stop the attacks on Israel. But, maybe I should take Kevin P’s suggestion and stop using reason and logic.
I hope Israel now will uses full force to drain that vile swamp. It angers me to think of the time wasted because of our past US policy of imposing lame “peace” processes on Israel.
“Good fences make good neighbors.”
Coupled with Apaches, surface-to-air missles and all of the other hardware Israel should employ.
