| Israel retaliates after rockets fired from Gaza |
| 2011-09-30 |
| Israeli warplanes took to the air overnight Thursday, retaliating after rockets were fired from Gaza. Hamas sources said that two rockets were fired into Israel on Thursday night. The IDF said that one such rocket damaged an abandoned building. In response, an Israeli military aircraft targeted what was described as a "terror activity site" in the central Gaza Strip overnight. "A direct hit was confirmed," the statement added. At around 1 a.m. Friday, an Israeli missile struck a Hamas military base located east of the al-Maghazi refugee camp, according to Hamas security sources. Israeli warplanes remained in the skies at least 40 minutes later, they added. |

| #4 The government just approved 1000 more apartments for Jews in East Jerusalem, and has resumed clearing illegal and unsafe buildings inhabited by Arabs near Israeli communities on the far side of the Green Line (if I have my nomenclature right). It seems Prime Minister Netanyahu's government has decided to wait no longer for the Palestinians to step up, and is establishing facts on the ground. Applying both the stick and the bigger stick, if you will. |

| #2 If you look at the pertinent history, Mr Hunt, you'll see that Islam has an amazing ability to be peaceful when confronted with superior force/resolve. However, when the weather changes.... |

| #1 Israel should announce that for every rocket/missile fired at it's civilian population, they will drop a "daisycutter" bomb on a random Gazan town. And cut off all utilities and payments too. Make the cost so steep there is but one choice. Knock it off! Watch hilarity ensue as panic sets in to the entire region. Next attack on Israel... do it. There won't be a second attack! Problem solved. Islamic terrorists only understand force. So use force! If they attempt any type of counterattack, Israel should attack forcefully with all the might they can muster. Public opinion be damned. Peace thru strength. Especially now. |
