JERUSALEM -- Israel's prime minister issued a stern warning Sunday to Gaza's Hamas rulers after a weekend of rocket attacks from the Palestinian territory on Israeli communities.

Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet that Israel holds the Islamic militant group responsible for the rare flare-up in violence and would retaliate for any attack against its people.

"I see the Hamas as directly responsible for any attack that comes from the Gaza Strip toward the state of Israel and the international community should see it this way as well," Netanyahu said. "Israel reserves the right to defend its citizens and we will continue to use all means to protect the people of Israel and the children of Israel."

Warnings do nothing. Bombs are far more effective.

Enough with the warmings already. Just print out a flyer and everytime they fire a missle, tape it to a return rocket.

Israel will put down the rabid dogs snapping at their
children and the world will wonder,”Why did they go
and do that?”

My only question is why did they wait so long?

3 steps for Gaza to prosper in peace.

1.-- Palestinians officially recognize Israel right to exist. 2.-- Hamas vows and stops all rocket attacks and terror. 3.-- Release Gilad Shalit in good faith.

Will they do any of the 3 steps? Probability = Zero!

Liberals, progressives, and communists are the reason.

Look we have said it before. Take a map, grid it out. Announce that for every rocket that falls on Israeli territory the Pali’s lose one square block with 48 hours notice. Leaflet drops on those areas and media announcements. But 24 hours after warnings given, they level the place. And so on until the rockets stop. The rockets will stop, when the palis kill the terrorists themselves.

Nothing says "Quit it" like a fission warhead delivered on Damascus.

Too expensive.
Unlimber a good ‘ol 155mm howitzer battery and unload a battery six on the launch site.
Repeat as necessary.
I’m guessing it won’t be necessary for long.

Hamas is trying to provoke Israel into doing something they can pointb the finger at them for.

The Obamites would similarly like the Conservatives here to be the object of finger-pointing. They will try provoke us. Any resulting crisis would be used by them to further Progressivist aims.

"I see the Hamas as directly responsible for any attack that comes from the Gaza Strip toward the state of Israel and the international community should see it this way as well," Netanyahu said.
And he should add, "further attacks from Gaza will result in the thermonuclear annihilation of the Hamas-supporting state of our choice."

Israel should announce loudly and repeatedly that with the next rocket it will deliberately target the new Gaza Mall

The World and the media will howl at Israel threatening to target civilians.

That's the "bad news". Or the usual blame Israel news.

The good news is that the World and Media will be forced to openly show their hypocrisy by attempting to explain how Gaza is suffering a "humanitarian crises" caused by Israel when at the same time such a mall can open.
