#13  Sure. You can deal with these folks...

IDF soldiers evacuated the children from the day care center soon after the strike. The rocket was one of seven to be fired from the Gaza Strip into the western Negev on Monday. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks, calling them "a gift for the opening of the school year."

#12  I would hope this would be a move to legitimize any counter attack into Gaza, but with Omygodiamapuss at the helm, I doubt it.

#11  Gentlemen, the Israelis do not have the spleen to defend the remains of the Temple let alone take decisive action of the kind you describe. What they should do is expel every journalist from Israel and make proper Old Testament war until the rabble are driven south into Egypt and east into the desert. The power grids and palaces of a handful of petty arab satrapies should be destroyed as an object lesson and targeted killings carried out on the neo-Nazis masquerading as academics and protesters in the West. But none of this is going to happen.

#9  RD, suppose tha hey fire somewhere from the center of Gaza. The proposed acuisition won't be practical. A better idea would be to start from north border. Acuire 1 km2 for each kassam fired into Israel. Push southward. D9 the acquired area. When the acquisitions reached the poximity of Egyptian border open the border wide for Gazans to pour into Egypt. Whether Egyptians would mow them down with a machine gun or not would be their biz. Anyway, Sinai is large and a lotsa Gazans could fit in there.

#8  Time to propose permanent seizure of all lands that continue to fire kassams. As well as a 1km arc of land around the launch areas, and a 1km corridor back to Israel's border.

This is the only answer, Red Dawg, Others like 'moose and myself are firmly in the same camp on this. Maybe they'll reconsider when the Palestinians have finally crowded all of themselves onto a postage stamp. All around the world Islam continues to elude truly severe punishment. This despite the deepest and most heinous provocations upon Islam's part.

In the case of Israel's petition, I'll paraphrase Samuel Goldwyn:

A UN petition isn't worth the paper it's printed on

#5  Well, why not boggle UN down on procedural issues? Sent a petition every time kassams are launched. The busybodies then will have less time to devote to smearing Israel.
