Israel to wage overall attack on Hamas

Israel: In for more fighting with Hamas
By Joshua Brilliant
United Press International

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 23 (UPI) -- Key Quote from the aricle:

Israeli officials felt Hamas has been deliberately stepping up its attacks as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon seeks a "separation" from the Gaza Strip, in order to create an impression that it is actually pushing Israel out.

That is not the image Sharon wants.

Accordingly, Israel has decided on an overall attack on Hamas. A military source who spoke to United Press International on condition of anonymity said the Israelis would hit "all along terror, from its infrastructure to its leadership."

No more BS myths like post-Lebanon. Read the whole thing...

#16  Israel's army chief of staff hinted Tuesday that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah may also be in the military's sights...

But not too quickly. There's something about the idea of a distraught Arafat cooped up in his fetid, half-demolished compound, jumping every time there's a loud noise or an aircraft overhead...

#14  "antiwar" says: ".com--why does he hate me . . ."

antiwar: I no longer take you seriously because you NEVER answer the inquisitive, sensitive posts I send your way. And you don't answer anyone else's good posts either. You are an operative.

In your post above you are using the liberal age-old gimmick argument: "you (.com) attack me personally because you know what I say is true and can't admit it . . . " Antiwar--you've got to be kidding-- .com clearly wasn't attacking you personally --AT ALL! I don't think .com thinks what you say is true, and neither does anyone else. Good try though. Are you feeling the heat? Is that why you're retreating into an attempt at a character assassination against "BIG OLD MEANY" .com?

Some facts: With or without Zionism, Moslem leaders would still be sounding the war cry. That's what keeps them inside their personal power structure, and inside their psychological dysfunction. They don't really care about the people like they pretend to. THEY are not for peace, antiwar! THEY are not for peace! Can you understand that? Frankly, I wish they were. Many moderates in the Arab community, who were willing to work with the Israelis, were murdered by the likes of the Moslem hardliners. Murdered, antiwar. That doesn't sound very peaceful to me. The reason the Moslem leaders don't want a truce, or for either side to find any common ground, is because they would lose their power base if the two sides collaborated and began building together. Those Moslems don't even want discussion to BEGIN between the two sides. They are hanging their people out to dry. There are many Israelis who don't adhere to Zionism, or support what the radical Zionists did or do. But the facist Moslems ONLY focus on Zionism in order to keep the people confused. And Robert Crawford is correct. There were (and are) many attacks against non-Zionist, peaceful Jews, by Moslems throughout the last century and earlier. Please do some research, antiwar. Your bias is showing.

(I'm not attacking you personally, either, in case you missed it.)

#13  from Drudge:
Israel's army chief of staff hinted Tuesday that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah may also be in the military's sights after the killing of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

Asked at a security conference in Tel Aviv whether the two leaders were also marked for death, Moshe Yaalon said: "I think that their responses alone yesterday show they understand that it is getting closer to them."

Yaalon said in a speech that the army's killing of Hamas founder and spiritual leader Sheikh Yassin in a Gaza City missile attack on Monday had dealt a "significant blow" to the radical Islamic movement.

Arafat denounced the killing of Yassin as a "barbaric crime" while Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, vowed to make Israel "pay very dearly".

#12  AW - You post silly half-wit shit and others post responses. Don't want responses? It's simple: STFU or get an education and use your fucking brain. Judging from your posts, and that's all we have to go on here, you really are a simpleton. Besides, on the personal thing, I don't wanna get that close to you - I believe you're ill. Nothing personal, you understand.

#11  No thanks, Antiwar (what a lie of a name).

I'd prefer that Israel simply decided to remove the Paleos once and for all. Send them back to Jordan, Eygpt, and whatever other of their Arab "brethren" from whence they came.

#10  Robert - she doesn't know what your talking about. In her Barney books, everyone just hugs and sings the I love you song. Except Americans and Jews. They are bad. Auntie said so.

Run along, antiwar, it's time for your nap. The big people are going to talk about serious subjects now.

#9  AW: Do some research into the pogroms and massacres that Muslims carried out against Jews before the founding of Israel. They happened, and their existence contradicts your claim of "living peacefully".

#8  Robert I said peacefully dismantle not destroy.

Yeah, like there's a difference. Not that you care how many people die; just as long as no one resists, you'll have your "peace".

#7  ..com, I think you attack me personally because you know what I say is true but can't admit it even to yourself.

#6  AW - Nah, I don't think so. We'll just dismantle the asshats and you can maintain your status quo of pissing and moaning, K? You really are selective about history - and your focus is so narrow, one would think you could get this one teeny-tiny bit of it right. Since you claim to read so much, it's rather sad you haven't read accurate material.

#4  That's the essence of being "antiwar" in the modern world: wanting to destroy Israel.

#3  The only thing to do its to peacefully dismantle the Zionist Entity and return the land to the Palestinians. Jews and Arabs lived peacefully in the region until the advent of the Zionist Entity.
