Israel To Gaza: It’s On
From Hot Air:
The Israelis have sent a warning to Gaza and its Hamas leadership after the latest rocket attack on Ashkelon. If the attacks continue, Israel will invade Gaza and conduct large-scale military operations to eliminate the threat:
Israeli leaders warned Friday of an approaching conflagration in the Gaza Strip as Israel activated a rocket warning system to protect Ashkelon, a city of 120,000 people, from Palestinian rockets.Ashkelon was hit by several Grad rockets fired from Gaza on Thursday, a sign of the widening scope of violence between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza. One hit an apartment building and another landed near a school, wounding a 17-year-old girl.
Located 11 miles from Gaza, Ashkelon had been sporadically targeted in the past but never suffered direct hits or significant damage.
“It will be sad, and difficult, but we have no other choice,” Matan Vilnai, Israel’s deputy defense mister, said Friday, referring to the large-scale military operation he said Israel was preparing to bring a halt to the rocket fire.
“We’re getting close to using our full strength. Until now, we’ve used a small percentage of the army’s power because of the nature of the territory,” Vilnai told Army Radio on Friday.
Israel had tried using softer methods to stop the attacks, including a lockdown on the border between Gaza and Israel. That resulted in a breakout at Rafah, which took the Egyptian government several days to resecure. Other nations had pressured Israel to end the embargo or at least loosen it for food, energy, and medical supplies, but the rocket attacks continue.
Hamas says that Israel’s return fire has killed 15 civilians and blames Israel for the rising tensions. Apart from the absurdity of blaming someone for hitting an aggressor in return, Hamas and other terrorist entities have no one but themselves to blame for civilian deaths. Even the AP acknowledges that Hamas launches its rockets from densely populated civilian centers, drawing fire onto their own people.
Israel cannot stand idle while terrorists rain rockets onto civilian populations, and the escalation to Ashkelon is a deliberate provocation by Hamas. The IDF has to take action, and this time it cannot be constrained by proportionality. They need a massive response to the Gaza provocateurs, one that leaves them no ground to hide. If Gaza’s civilian population wants to avoid that, then they need to rid themselves of the terrorists before Israel’s military does its work.
Hot Air has it right as usual. Israel needs to quit taking this crap from the terrorists and take care of business. The sooner they move into Gaza and lay waste to the place the sooner the violence will end. Anyone who thinks Israel can ever coexist with Hamas is living in a fantasy world.
Every single member of Hamas should be systematically hunted down and killed. The same goes for Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah, and any other gun toting, missile firing, Islamic group.
All the pretend cease-fires and half measures on the part of Israel only prolongs the violence. They need to get in, level the joint, and get out.

It’s being reported from Gaza Strip: Following the Zionists’ heinous and violent attacks within the past five days:
• 110 were killed and 312 others wounded.
• A six-month old baby was amongst the martyrs.
• Ihud Olmert, the wicked Prime Minister of the Zionist Regime, called this winter “The Hot Winter” and added “No state has the right to protest and the attacks on Gaza will be continued”.
• Ihud Barak the Zionist minister of war when asked by a correspondent whether he feels ashamed of the massacre said “I do not feel ashamed at all”.
• The Security Council’s meeting on the issue was in vain because of the US vetoing it.
Now; how will the history judge it? We assume that there are quite a lot of historical counterparts for Olmert: Jenghis Khan, Mussolini, and Hitler!!! What do you think? I’m waiting for your comments on the navaeian weblog .

Allow me to echo the sentiments of Ihud Barak, “I do not feel ashamed at all.”
The thugs in Gaza fire missiles into Israel and then cry when Israel responds. If the Palestinians want someone to blame for their lot in life, they should blame Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Aqsa Brigades, and Hezbollah.
It’s unfortunate that Hamas cares so little about human life that they set up bases in civilian areas.
There are no dead martyrs at all. There are a bunch of dead terrorists and a few civilians.
The only thing the terrorists ever accomplish for themselves by using terror is to make life even more miserable.
When Hamas fires rockets into Israel they know Israel will respond with brutal force, but they choose to do it anyway. They bring the misery on themselves.
The only language that Islamic radicals understand is the language of violence.
The Palestinian people say they want their own state, but instead of coming to the negotiating table they choose to continue the terror.
