| Gaza toll hits 500 as Israeli assault worsens |
| 2009-01-05 |
| The death toll of Palestinians killed in Israel's nine-day assault on the Gaza Strip hit 500 with thousands injured as Israeli troops advanced in their ground invasion supported by military helicopters that sporadically dropped bombs and caused mass panic as frantic families fled by car or on foot. Since the ground invasion began at least 40 Palestinians have been killed and one Israeli soldier killed with some 35 injured, according to both Palestinian and Israeli officials. Israel's assault worsened as world outrage continued, the U.N. Security Council failed to agree on a solution, the Islamist group Hamas called for national dialogue and Israel's President Shimon Perez rejected calls for a ceasefire. Israel launched a ground invasion late on Saturday, pouring tanks and troops into the Hamas-controlled territory after a week of air strikes, prompting many residents to flee their homes. |

| #13 "Any nation that has behaved towards a subject people, as Israhell has to Paleos, is worthy only of utter contempt." Any people who are utterly enslaved by Paleo propaganda, as SK is, are worthy only of utter contempt. It is frankly laughable that you would post such a pronouncement in the apparent belief that it would persuade anyone of anything other than your submissive gullibility and brutality. |

| #12 Sure gettin' a lot of trolls today. Fred needs to issue some more troll licenses. Huntin' trolls without a license could get ya sink-trapped. It's nice to know that a few Ayrabs have the intellect to actually make it to Fred's place. too bad they don't have enough intellect to detect the presence of their betters here. SK - my money's on Israel. You might want to begin thinking of an alternate strategy as Hamass gets theirs kicked. |

| #10 "Subjects" who fire rockets and do suicide bombings against civilians should be tolerated, eh Shiwayit? Your people would have cut off Hamas heads if they were your subjects. |

| #7 Any organization that has resorted to random terrorism when offered peace, as has Hamas, is worthy only of complete destruction. |

| #4 So...whaddya call refugees from a refugee camp? Reclassifying that should keep the UN busy for the next year at least. |

| #2 I wonder whether the plan is to go all the way through house to house like Fallujah or Najaf. I don't see much benefit in filling he prisons with deadbeats. That will only lead to incessant hostage taking and release demands. |
