| Huge Israeli Airstrike Caught On Tape. |
| 2009-01-14 |
| An explosion from an IAF strike is seen in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah on Tuesday,Palestinian medics: 18 gunmen, 3 civilians killed in IDF strikes on Gaza city. Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Tuesday accused Israel of aiming to "wipe out" the Palestinian people in Gaza by refusing to end its deadly war on Hamas in the battered enclave. "This is the 18th day of the Israeli aggression against our people, which has become more ferocious each day as the number of victims has risen," Abbas said in Ramallah. "Israel is keeping up this aggression in order to wipe out our people over there," he said at the opening of a meeting of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). "Our people are holding up well," Abbas said. "They continue to defend themselves and will never surrender." Abbas once again welcomed efforts by Egypt to end the 18-day-old war that has killed more than 900 Palestinians in Gaza, nearly half of them civilians. "What is essential is to stop the aggression. It must stop, Israel must withdraw from Palestinian territory, lift the blockade and reopen the border crossings so that our people's suffering can end. |

| #12 Well, GolfBravo, I was really enjoying your video presentation until I remembered that Obama is going to be our "glorious" Commander in Chief. wretch Then I was thinking how great it would be for Israel to let all the nice Palestinians over to their side, then just blow the h-ll out of Gaza, and build a new Gaza for the nice people. then I woke from my slumber and remembered . . . how much I wanted to fly fighter jets when I was in college (30 yrs ago), but they weren't accepting women back then . . . Anyway, I agree that Abbas is flip-flopping: "Israel is keeping up this aggression . . ? Violence and aggression are such plastic terms over there. Suicide bombers, missiles from Gaza to Israel is okay though. gatewaypundit.blogspot and sweetness-light have some interesting footage of Moslem protests in Europe. I found the one where the London police are running from the protesters the most sickening. Cheers. |

| #7 No, a huge airstrike would be to drop one of them bunker busters about every 1/4 mile, on a good target, the north-south length of Gaza and time them all to detonate at exactly 6:00 pm, preferably with a slight breeze blowing from the west to east. Big boom boom jar jar, blot out the setting sun. |

| #5 "Our people are holding up well," Abbas said. "They continue to defend themselves and will never surrender." Easy for you to say, seeing how they're not taking a lotta incoming on the West Bank, right, Mahmoud? What a prick, trying to horn in on Hamas's martyrdom action. |

| #4 We've seen quite a few hits like this in the last couple of weeks. Obviously hitting a large stash of goodies. I wonder where they are getting their intelligence from? |

| #3 Now nearly half of those killed are civilians? Next week it will be 2/3 civilians I guess. |

| #2 Sounds more like Abbas is more concerned about positioning himself to be their leader again and less concerned about trying to save the "Palestinians". Keep up the good work, Israel! |

| #1 It was a single bomb, not a "huge air strike". A "huge air strike" would be a formation of a hundred planes dropping multiple weapons each turning that entire neighborhood into rubble. This was what looks like one single bomb or artillery round or missile with a secondary explosion. |
