GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Asked if Hamas political leaders might be targeted next, military spokeswoman Maj. Avital Leibovitch said “Any Hamas target is a target.””

[gwilhelm56]

IMHO... Israel needs a TOP 40. Piece of paper with 40 Holy ISLAMIC Sites. Everytime Hamas sends a rocket.. ONE Site on the list is DESTROYED.
One Rocket ... one site
One Mortar ... one site
one BULLET ... one site

Hamas sets off one FIRECRACKER could mean the end of MEDINA? (it’s on the list)

[gwilhelm56]

**“Hamas declares Israel truce over”**

Then DON’T go WHINING to the MEDIA and the UN if ISRAEL decides to BOMB your BUTT back to the Jurassic Era.

/sarc ... maybe

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Watch out for yourself, AII.

**“Asked if Hamas political leaders might be targeted next, military spokeswoman Maj. Avital Leibovitch said “Any Hamas target is a target.””**

Any spot that is NOT ISRAEL should be considered a target...and the first dozen on MY LIST should be GONE already.

One Rocket ... one site

I'm with you. A mosque for every rocket. Even taking them out when they are empty would send a message: keep this crap up and you'll be praying at the 7/11.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Red Crescent director Ahmad Navvab was quoted as saying, “Despite the Zionist regime’s opposition... this consignment will leave Bandar Abbas for Palestine on Saturday and will arrive in 12 days.””

Yes, ALL is a good number.

......This is the beginning.....

It is destruction of the enemy on the flank

The record Christmas travel to Bethlehem is over and the precedent for tourism prosperity set and felt. Bethlehem is a money making asset. The west bank will stay above the fray.

Open the door so Hamas can run out.

I saw some footage on Fox. Lots of people rushing children to hospitals. No doubt some are hurt. However, you know how cynicical I’ve become when my first thought is that its staged. These people are probably taught to act like children are hurt when cameras are present.

I believe the “Perfect Storm” is beginning. Look around the world.

You do get that feeling these days --especially with a boob soon to take the oath in our country

[oscars300]

I think it’s safe that Hamas will fudge their casualty estimates quite a bit. Little to no risk of being found out during the conflict (who is going to check?), and good propaganda payoff. (”Disproportionate force!111!!!1 Stop now!”)

“At least 155 killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza”

GAZA CITY (CNN) -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The strikes followed several days of rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel.

A statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Israeli aircraft attacked “a series of Hamas targets and infrastructure facilities.”

“The Air Force activity came as a result of the continuation of terror activity by Hamas terror organization from the Gaza Strip, and the duration of rocket launching and targeting Israeli civilians,” the IDF statement said.”

Will there ever be peace in the Middle East? I doubt it. The Israeli are not know for turning the other check. The Intellectual Redneck
