File under: Hamas

#1 In other words:

To the World: Put your bodies where your mouths are, or shut up.

Most sincerely yours,
Ehud Olmert,
democratically elected Prime Minister of Israel

#2 UN observers ought to be marginally more effective in Gaza than in Lebanon simply because of the sizes.

Of course, that may not be saying much.

#3 Like TW, I think Ehud is calling their bluff. He may finally understand that the "international community" is all talk, no action.

#4 why would it take a world leader this long too figure that out?

#5 rabid...

we are talking about Olmert here.

on the other hand, the fact that any liberal has figured it out is a positive sign

#6 Olmert talked big last time, too. Ended up doing the same thing they always do. Drop some bombs and arty and called it a day. I'll be impressed when I see something intended to have long term effects.

#7 IAF just knocked off another mosque that was being used for weapons storage and the like. This is the third or fourth mosque so destroyed.

The IDF had expected Hamas to be able to launch 200 or so rockets/day but the actual is averaging about 60-70 or so even with the cloudy weather which helps Hamas. Maybe they are saving their best shot to coincide with a ground invasion.
