Gaza Rockets

[GeoMuller]

Can't Israel see it is shooting itself in the foot? Sending in ground troops to surgically remove the rocket launchers should be its only response right now. No more rockets on civilian areas, please; that's playing right into the hands of Hamas.

Israel can do what it likes as it knows the Americans will always support them.
The last time they went into Gaza more that 1400 were killed. What's the total so far this time?

[ummmm]

Over 800.

occasionally Jews here and abroad fret about growing anti-semitism; I don't know if they ever wonder if there could be any connection.

Israel has never be interested in world opinion. It was founded surrounded by enemies and has always had a seige mentality.

The present situation will not end when Israel cracks. It will end when the US becomes too embarrassed by its offsprings' behaviour.

As in life, the abused often grow up to be abusers. The State of Israel was born from a people horribly abused by the Nazis. And it has grown up to revisit equally appalling abuses on the Palestinian people.

^Amen to that - except I don't think it will ever end - and I sincerely hope it will never impose equally appalling abuses upon the Palestinian people.

[naomi24]

I sincerely hope *Israel* will ..........
