Israeli warplanes and helicopters pounded Palestinian targets in the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing 11 people, including eight in a refugee camp where a car was bombed. One missile exploded on a street crowded with schoolchildren, wounding four of them.

Perhaps they will consider the consequences of launching missiles at the Israelis, perhaps not.

Palestinian logic....

I get to kill your kind

but if you retaliate...

then I am going to swear revenge.

And the NYT will say you are justified in doing so.....

[dennisw]

Sorry but this collateral damage is OK by me as long as these scum are bombing busses and restaurants.

[Centurion2000]

The violent Islamic movements Hamas and Islamic Jihad threatened revenge,

Every time they talk like this I think of the image of Billy Bob Thornton trying to stand up to Wyatt Earp in the movie Tombstone ...

I TOLD YOU TO THROW DOWN BOY !! Now jerk that pistol and go to work.

[Joe Hadenuf]

The endless punchfest continues.....

[Mears]

The Islamic militants would vow revenge if an Israeli sneezed in front of them and didn't say "excuse me".

[tubavil]

The endless punchfest continues.....

The terrorists can't end it, but would if they could.

Israel could end it, but won't.

You nailed it.

ISRAEL COULD END IT BY NUKING THE PALLIES; I AGREE.

Israel should secretly fund a group that kills as many Pali civilians as possible.

Then things will be even.

This will cause the war to go on and on. The Isrealis need to cut a deal with the Pali's. This bombs and bombers thing can go on for a hundred years. This air raid isn't "protecting" Isreal its just REVENGE. Only one man can solve the problems over in that land. You know who it is--The fellow they nailed to a cross a while back.

Israel should secretly fund a group that kills as many Pali civilians as possible.

Israel would be no better than the German's at that point.

With that said, I don't have any type of constructive answer for the P.A./Israel (ongoing) situation other than for the media and the U.N. to quit turning a blind eye to the monsters the Palestinians truly are. Their breeding suicide bombers, hatred and death. And the media outlets go on with the merry terroristic towed line; and more than half the world falls for it.

[LenS]

Nuking has it's limitations when your target lives across about a hundred yards away. But a nice field artillery barrage ala WWI (or Assad in Hama) would do nicely as an alternative.

It's "pull that smoke wagon and go to work".

[Centurion2000]

It's "pull that smoke wagon and go to work".

Not so ... that line quotes as thus :

Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens. :)

Trust me .... that's one of my favorite movies .....

[winker]

Peres cain't stand the fact he cannot hug a terrorist and make excuses for them. He needs a refresher course at the colon bowel school of Treason!

[Dialup Llama]

Isnt the Pali threat of revenge ringing a little hollow? I mean they try to kill you during 'peace roadmap' and 'hudna.' then when you respond they say they are going to kill you some more?

It seems to be a permanent Pali psychological condition- seething, anger and threats of revenge. What else is new?

>The deadliest attack came after nightfall in the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Residents said Israeli helicopters fired three missiles at the main street, destroying a car.

On for the front seat, two for the backseat and three to bounce the rubble. I'm guessing there was no quick exit out the back seat of that car.

>"Prime minister, you have missed the opportunity," Peres said.

>"We are dealing with a nation that is fighting for its freedom, and don't take them lightly," said Peres, who shared the 1994 Nobel peace prize, of the Palestinians.

I could understand someone saying this IN 1994, but how can any knowledgeable person in Israel actually believe this today? Someone please explain.

Nah, better idea: for every Israeli killed, Mossad assassinates a member of the Saudi royal family, or member of other Arab ruling elite, that has made any sort of contribution to a terrorist cause
