BREAKING NEWS:Israeli ground forces enter Gaza in escalation

The headlines will read "high civilian casualities as palestinians use women and children as human shields" ---

Right. Because all those grown men balling their guts out as they bury their children and their friend's children are going to throw their other kids in front of tanks and SAW gunners.
 
First victim of ground operation is Palestinian child. BBC.

May the fleas of a thousand camels lodge in their armpits!
 
And if those recent high levels visit to Israel by Bush and Condi were not wink wink nudge nudges, go for it, I will eat my large straw hat.

And the speech Bush gave a few HOURS ago, about Hamas being the true evil in this story probably came after a phone call with Israeli government. Ow and Bombama is in the pocket of the elite jews too. I remember the youtube video's of him speaking in front of CPAC (or some sort of Jewish elitist group, don't know correct name)
 
A couple of questions:

- Who runs Gaza? Hamas?
- Who has been firing rockets into Israel? Hamas? Random dummies? Is someone official taking credit?

What is the real story?
 
Hamas won elections iso they should be in charge (there was some fighting there in the past because previously ruling class did not want to give them the power, I forgot what it was called).

Israel is claiming that it's acting in self defense because Hamas fired rockets on their territory. But apparently Israel isolated Gaza preventing any outside humanitarian assistance (like cutting out supplies).

Hamas is the democratically elected government. There are different factions of Hamas - the right wing has been negotiating with Israel through Egypt, and is the non-violent wing. The radical left is the "screw them - let's stir up the whole damned Middle East" faction.

Here's a good article, but it is about a week old. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28436363/
 
So, the left wing is attacking Israel? Is Isreal justified in this, or is this just the people the who don't like Israel because we undermine their sovereignty shouting, "Death to Isreal!"? I'll look at that article and come back.

Gone for a week with a nasty flu and everything goes berserk...

Thanks, good article.

This about summed it up:

About Israel's right and duty to defend its border towns, there is no dispute. When Hamas permits Gaza to be used as a launch pad for rockets, it must expect retaliation. Nor can Hamas claim some right to dictate the limits of that retaliation.

Yet the wisdom of so savage a retribution for rockets that killed not one Israeli is open to question.

Hamas firing rockets into Israel is an act of war. Israel's response is war. Did Israel officially "declare war"? (Not that any government follows their own rules anymore.)

Readers of my columns in TAC and at antiwar might recall that I have been inquiring about the status of Israeli spy Ben-Ami Kadish, who was arrested in April and has since fallen into a black hole, with no record of any continuing judicial process and no mention in the MSM. I suggested that those who spy for Israel appear to have a “get out of jail free” card as there is seldom any aggressive prosecution of their cases. I have recently learned that Kadish, who is free on bail in spite of the considerable risk that he would flee to Israel, had been granted a number of delays by the presiding judge. Yesterday he appeared in court and pleaded guilty to the single charge of failing to register as an agent of Israel. The charges of espionage and obstruction of justice were dismissed and the prosecution has indicated that it will not oppose a no-prison time punishment when Kadish is actually sentenced next month. Kadish’s lawyer expressed his pleasure with the outcome and added “…we hope that Mr. Kadish can go on and spend the golden years of his life with his lovely wife, Doris.” Kadish personally wished everyone a happy new year as he left the courtroom. Kadish has admitted that he provided hundreds of classified documents relating to American ballistic technology to Israel while he was employed as an engineer at New Jersey’s Pickatinny Arsenal.

The Wash Post reported the story and also another one relating to Iraqi-born Maryland resident Mouyad Mahmoud Darwish, who was arrested on December 24th. Darwish allegedly provided information to Saddam Hussein’s government in 2000 while working “as a restaurant cook in Laurel and doing odd jobs at the Iraqi Embassy in Washington.” He has not been granted bail and faces five years in prison if convicted. It was not clear what information he provided to Saddam given his access as a cook in suburban Maryland.

Is deploying a blockade by Israel an act of war also? I think it is.

Israel has no ground to stand on. They are the terrorists, first and foremost. Palestine is defending it's life and property. Always been that way. Gandhi was quite noble in using non-violence as a means to defeat an army, but humans have an inalienable right to defend their life and property.

This issue should be black and white, but instead it is grayed out by western controlled media.
