| Israel warns Gaza of "shoah" |
| 2008-03-01 |
| A year-old Palestinian girl and a senior Hamas bombmaker were killed in the Gaza Strip on Friday as Israel pressed home air strikes after a senior official warned Gazans they risked a "shoah" if rocket fire did not stop. With the Palestinian death toll at 35 in three days, aides insisted the deputy defence minister used the Hebrew word not in its common meaning of holocaust but only as a term for disaster. But the strength of his language reflected mounting anger after an Israeli was killed by a rocket on Wednesday and the government debated whether to mount a major ground offensive. Hamas, which organised rallies in Gaza, held the comment up as proof their enemies in the Jewish state were the "new Nazis". Friday saw fewer air strikes. One, which the army said had targeted a rocket team, killed Eyad al-Ashram. Hamas said he was one of the Islamist group's senior munitions experts, involved in what it said was a total of 208 rockets fired in February. |

| #9 Oh I think they've gone and done it this time. Me thinks the Isrealis are really up to here with the rockets and the Hamas thing. Anytime the Hebrews start talking "Shoah" that means something very BAD for those on the receiving end. Think Maccabees or even think of the 100,000 Assyrians that bit the big one trying to lay siege to Jerusalem. Shoah? Pass the popcorn. |

| #7 There are no more Hassassins, ever wonder why? They pissed off the world, now they're dead to the last infant in his crib. Learn, world condemnation does nothing when you're extinct. |

| #4 Once again let me suggest "land for peace", but with the meaning that the Israelis take some Paleo land, and unless the Paleos are peaceful, they take more. Eventually, no matter what else happens, with that technique, either the Paleos would stop with the violence or be shouldered out entirely. |

| #2 I've got a better idea. Turn it into a nature reserve dedicated to researching climate change. It might get the Lefties on side and it will be a more a more productive use of the land than currently. |
