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.

Israel tells Gazans to brace for war escalation

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.

US joins press for truce as Gaza onslaught goes on

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israel seized control of high-rise buildings and attacked houses, mosques and smuggling tunnels as it pressed its offensive against the Gaza Strip’s Hamas rulers on Monday, while the U.S. joined a stream of countries pushing for a cease-fire.

At least 14 Palestinian children were killed on Monday, raising the known death toll from the 10-day onslaught to 540 - including 200 civilians, the U.N. and Palestinian officials said. Gaza’s biggest hospital said it was overwhelmed.

From Gaza, Hamas continued to pummel southern Israel with more than two dozen rockets on Monday and promised to wait for Israeli soldiers “in every street and every alleyway.”

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the offensive would go on until Israel achieved “peace and tranquility” for residents of southern Israel.

Do you want to know what’s REALLY wrong with this nation? Just read the title of this piece!

We have become a nation of wimpy appeasers. We are led by the biggest bunch of PC wusses that God ever let inhabit this earth! If we had had these same spineless weasels in office on Dec. 7, 1941, the USA would be speaking a mixture of German and Japanese.

The leadership of this nation is as gutless as the European Union. We no longer have the will to fight and for some reason we feel it’s OUR duty to impose our skewed view of *warfighting* on the one nation that we can call an ALLY that still KNOWS how to prosecute a military campaign!

Leave Israel alone, let them conduct this operation according to their rules of war. Israel has been repeatedly attacked, they are quite right to wage this battle. We should have long ago done the same thing along the Mexican border, but we are too damned GUTLESS, it’s not politically correct to kill those that invade US!

Our *limp noodle* leadership wants the entire world to become the EU and EU-USesque cabel. If the USA doesn’t grow a set of BALLS real soon, our enemies will have NO reason to sit back and wait, they will be all over us, and if the American people don’t fight, you can BET that our leadership won’t. And even if WE do fight, our chickens*it leadership will immediately be calling for us to declare a truce and surrender…
