File under: Hamas

#1 Six Kassems were fired at Israel within hours of the shipment of Euro diesel fuel to Gaza.

Somebody ought to ask Hil and Obama a hardball question on this (and follow it up when they say fluff in response).

#2 Somebody ought to ask the Israelis a hardball question as to what the point having a blockade is when you cave after a couple of days with the missiles still falling.

#3 Why did the Israelis try?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. They probably didnt expect such a strong reaction from the EU -meanwhile its more important keeping the EU on board on Iran, Lebanon, and boycotting Hamas then it is to get the limited gains from shutting fuel.

Yeah, the terrs keep firing qassams, but theyve only killed one that I know of, and meanwhile the Israeli counter strikes have steadily drained Hamas leaders and foot soldiers. Israel can keep playing that game indefinitely, Im not sure Hamas can.
