only terroirsts are ones in rightwing mirrors
Isnotreal is 100percent at fault all the time.
Poor slingshots cannot compete with nukes that Israel illegally has. Shame on my fellow Jews.(and I am Jewish, though embarrassed by Israel's rightwing militia and AIPAC here at home).
all we are saying Israel, is Give Peace a chance.(but they don't want to).

If Hamas broadcast to the world that they were initiating a cease fire with an initial trial period of a week, would Israel stop the F-16s and tanks etc? Interesting scenario, doncha think? Wonder what would happen.

Video footage from the beach showed ambulance workers carrying away injured people on stretchers and a young girl screaming for a parent.
Hamas has stuck to the cease-fire it announced in February 2005, but other groups did not sign on and have continued attacks against Israel. Earlier this year, Hamas won the Palestinian elections.

Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. Gazans are getting what they need from Egypt who is looking the other way except (they say) for weapons and explosives. In 79, Israel offered Gaza to Egypt along with the Sinai. Egypt said no thanks. Apparently nobody wants the Pals in Gaza.
But they have been in a prison ever since Hamas came to power. And, yes, they are lobbing crude rockets into Sderot.
Not nice.
But the prison door is open. Let's see what happens. Nothing else has worked. Maybe this will.

mahas talks out of all sides of it's mouth...QUOTE
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- An Israeli navy gunboat fired shells onto a northern Gaza beach Friday, killing at least seven people and prompting the military wing of Hamas to call off a 16-month-old cease-fire with Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces said it was firing on rocket-launching areas in Gaza after a militant attack earlier in the day. The target areas were believed to be uninhabited, a representative said.
funny...certain posters here always leave out the facts when trying to demonize Israel

IMO, the IDF and the Israeli government lie just like Bush does, which is everytime they open their mouths. And no one here needs to demonize Israel, they do it quite well all by themselves.
Keep reading, 70s, find the truth.
