Israel tells Gazans to brace for war escalation

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israel pounded rocket sites and tunnels Saturday while its planes dropped leaflets warning of an escalation, and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas predicted a “waterfall of blood” unless all parties adhere to the U.N.’s call for a durable cease-fire.

Hamas fighters kept up attacks on southern Israel, launching 15 rockets. And with neither side ready to step down, the death toll in two weeks of fighting rose to more than 800 Palestinians, according to Palestinian medical officials, and 13 Israelis.

Flames and smoke rose over Gaza City amid heavy fighting.

Diplomacy was not finished, but it appeared to be in retreat following both sides’ defiance of Thursday’s U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a halt to fighting. Struggling to keep peace efforts alive, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak invited representatives of Gaza’s Hamas rulers to Egypt for further talks on his cease-fire initiative.

How hard can it be to understand? Stop the attacks on Israel and Israel will stop killing the Palestinians in great numbers!

The *world*, the U.N. in particular, wants Israel to just STOP their offensive. They expect Israel to lay down and TAKE the attacks from the radicals of Hamas. They expect Israel to NOT strike back. I hear all of that. What I don’t see, or hear from the U.N. is any condemnation of Hamas for their actions.

I don’t see or hear any condemnation of Hamas from most sectors of the world. The American MSM (Main Stream Media), the left wing of our own Congress and Senate, and the libber leftist population of America are condemning Israel! All we hear from that group is STOP killing innocent Palestinians, just ignore the rockets that these *innocent* people keep launching into Israel, cease and desist in your vigorous acts of self defense!

Why is it that we don’t hear any cries of condemnation of Hamas and their acts of terror and violence from our MSM and the libber left? It’s very simple actually. The MSM and libber left are cowards. They are terror appeasers. They KNOW that Israel isn’t going to attack America but they fear that Hamas, al-Qaida and the various agents of radical Islam just might. The libber left feels that by embracing the terrorists they can appease them with a *group hug* and a bit of *understanding*, and in doing so, they can convince the terrorists to leave us alone.

It doesn’t work that way, as much as the peaceniks of the U.N., the EU and the American left wish it would! I know it, most of you know it and that is the primary reason we are NOT libbers and leftists! We KNOW that if you want your enemies gone, YOU have to be the one to remove them, the *trash* has to be taken out once in a while. Our incoming POTUS wants to *talk* to them. Appease them. Reason with them. Our incoming POTUS is a moonbat empowerment agent of the libber left!

To Israel I still say, as long as you are attacked you have every right to exert and and all manners of self defense. You have every right to attack your attackers and to use the force that you deem necessary against them. Keep up the fight Israel. Make these Hamas terrorists and their supporters suffer in all the ways at hand. Force Hamas to cease their attacks or face certain annihilation.

Israel shells near UN school, killing at least 30

GAZA CITY, Gaza (AP) - Israeli mortar shells struck outside a U.N. school where hundreds of Palestinians had sought refuge on Tuesday, killing at least 30 people - many of them children whose parents wailed in grief at a hospital filled with dead and wounded.

The Israeli army said its soldiers came under fire from militants hiding in the school and responded. It accused Gaza’s Hamas rulers of “cynically” using civilians as human shields. Residents confirmed the account, saying militants were seen staging attacks from the area.

Despite international criticism over civilian deaths and a diplomatic push to broker a cease-fire, Israeli said it would push on with the offensive against Hamas.

Israeli ground forces edged closer to two major Gaza towns, and a total of 70 Palestinians were killed Tuesday - with just two confirmed as militants, health officials in Gaza said. A top U.N. official called for an investigation into the civilian death toll.

The Israelis will be roundly criticized for this attack I am sure. The Hamas fighter, and Islam in general seem to think that is ALL they have to do to change minds and opinions. Criticize Israel!

Think again ragheads! Some of us KNOW how you people fight. You are cowards and you use woman and children as *human shields* in an effort to save your sorry asses from being killed by soldiers, uniformed, well trained and well disciplined soldiers! And it would appear that this time around, Israel is not only wise to your cowardly ways but is ignoring your ploys and attacking you and yours anyway!

To the Israelis I say this, DO NOT STOP! This is a battle that MUST be seen through to a victorious and indisputable conclusion. A total VICTORY by the Army of Israel.

I venture to say, if Israel doesn’t pursue this action to a proper conclusion, it’s only a matter of time until the Palestinians and Hamas renew their rocket attacks and homicide bombings! That is NOT an acceptable scenario!
