The sources, speaking after Palestinian rockets were fired at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, said ministers were being polled by telephone by the cabinet secretary to approve the call-up.

Looks like a major operation is about to begin. Israel has some awesome tanks, btw. Merkava or something.

What choice does Israel have?
If all the entities wetting themselves over Israel’s current actions had been spending 1/10th as much time dumping on the Arabs in the Gaza Strip for firing rockets into Israel, we wouldn’t have this situation.
The blame goes much further than the people in Gaza.
Europe, Egypt, where were you guys on this two weeks ago?

From Prime Minster Netanyahu:
"I saw today a picture of a bleeding Israeli baby. This picture says it all: Hamas deliberately targets our children, and they deliberately place their rockets next to their children. Despite this reality, and it’s a very difficult reality, Israel will continue to do everything in its power to avoid civilian casualties."

I'm afraid that the Palestinians will go to the UN and ask for help. The US will respond against Israel.

It appears Obama’s foreign policy plan is going according to schedule. He knew exactly what he was doing when those in power fell throughout the Middle East
What is the end game? That is the real question.
To: USAF80
If the US tries to take on Israel, UN or no, there will be a lot of US casualties.
We can’t even secure Afghanistan after trying for 10 years, shooting at Israeli defenders is a death sentence for US troops. The Israelis will not have restrictive ROEs, and will hit hard the first time.
See also USS Liberty incident.

The Muslim Brotherhood just got into the act. They are being patient now but I’m sure they will be mobilizing their forces in the next couple of days.
They will get another arse whupping though.

We might not support Israel, but there is no way we would actually start a shooting war with them.
