A missile lands in a major Israeli city. But for luck, a few yards to the left or right and who knows how many casualties.

But is it news? Has it been reported on the networks or cable news? See it on Google News or the Times frontpage?

But if Israel acts to prevent further attacks- that will be news- and this will be minimized.

I once figured up how much it would cost to asphalt the entire Gaza Strip. It was surprisingly cheap.

Israel needs to blow up their new supermarket in retaliation.

And, I don’t know, stop giving them free electricity.

The palis should loose a square mile of land for every attack. If they eventually are pushed into the sea, oh well.

And in any case the American Left, including it’s pathologically insane Jewish wing, will continue to tout Hamas as “legitimate.”

Well, ya gotta take your hat off to the KGB of yesteryear. They originally invented the “Palestinian cause” and they originally invented the American Left. Talk about bite for your comintern buck—!!

Pretty clever of the Pali’s to transform “humanitarian” goods into viable short range rockets!

It would only have made the liberal news if it hit Kerry’s yacht.

"But is it news? Has it been reported on the networks or cable news? See it on Google News or the Times frontpage? "

Reminds me of a joke. Saddam Hussein complains to Yasser Arafat: "You hijack plains, throw grenades at school children --- and they give you a Nobel Peace Prize. I do none of such things and I am a villain. Why?"

"Ah," says Sadat, "but I kill only Jews."

Can you imagine one such rocket landing somewhere in Texas or southern Italy? I doubt that would happen more than once. But these attack are against the Jews and Israel --- who cares? In fact, everyone and his dog will ask Israel "to show restraint."

Unfortunately, all that will likely happen in response is a couple empty buildings will get bombed. Cmon’ Bibi, man up.

A Grad missile? Where did it graduate from?

It lands? IT LANDS? It didn’t freaking land, it freaking DETONATED in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Typical soft-soaping of the leftist mainstream apparatchiks.

I had a jerk leave a comment on my blog earlier this week. I'll let it speak for itself.

Most of the 'missiles' that have been fired at Israel are based on the old 'Katusha' unguided rocket design. While they have killed a relative handful of people, Israeli retaliation has always been with the very latest US supplied military hardware, and has killed thousands of Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, etc. There have also been several *documented* cases of Israeli special forces sneaking over the border of the 'bad guy du jour' to fire rockets back into Israel as a pretext for a subsequent Israeli 'retaliation'. Please consider that while the Israelis' have bomb and blast shelters to retreat to, their neighbors do not. For a contrasting point of view, think about what life in the Occupied Territories, Gaza, or the refugee camps must be like. Apply your own drive to survive and protect your family. Now add forty years of occupation , discrimination, poverty, starvation, and indiscriminate retaliation.

Pretty condescending, eh? Of course I let him have it with both barrels. I can't believe how many people buy into the Pali propaganda version of reality.

I don’t feel sorry for Israel. Not one bit.

Israel has the means to stop this. In one week they could clean out Gaza. They figure it isn’t worth the effort, SO I figure its not worth the effort to worry about Israel either.

When the rockets start coming in guided, what will Israel do? It will be too late then. Hamas won’t fire one at a time. They will wait till they have hundreds, and THEN fire them.

Nuke Iran NOW.
