#1 Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, a participant in the meeting, said Abbas urged all Palestinian groups to honor a cease-fire reached with Israel in February. âWe demand everyone be committed to the truce,â Erekat said. âWe consider the truce a matter of high national interest.â

But Islamic Jihad, which has been responsible for most of the rocket fire, rejected the appeal.

No more pussyfooting around. Invade Gaza, root out and kill as many terrorists as possible, and locate and destroy as many weapons caches as can be found. If terrorists want to keep fighting, then bring the Big Club to the match and keep bashing them over the head with it until it's no longer possible for them to continue fighting.

#2 No invasion. Airpower and artillery should be sufficient to accomplish what is necessary without unnecessarily risking Israeli lives. Give them the Serbian treatment.

#3 "Honestly, I am grateful for the peaceful tolerant friendship you have shown me, yes it is price as marked."

You assignment is to translate into Arabic.

#4 Airpower and artillery should be sufficient to accomplish what is necessary without unnecessarily risking Israeli lives.

Airpower and artillery won't locate and destroy those who are well-concealed or behind well-fortified defenses, nor will they destroy hidden arms and ammo caches unless the plan is to totally lay waste to every inch of Gaza to a depth of several feet. That might be somewhat problematic though...

#5 This should be as straight forward as if Mexico started firing rockets into Arizona: scorched earth and land mines for as far as the eye can see.

#6 That might be somewhat problematic though...

In what sense?

#7 Hazmat disposal costs are constantly escalating. It's hard to budget for the future cleanup

..unless the plan is to totally lay waste to every inch of Gaza to a depth of several feet.

One word: Outcry.
