BREAKING: GAZA/ISRAEL ESCALATION

Ynet: Residents of Eshkol Region in southern Israel instructed to remain in bomb shelters until further notice.

NRG: Israel foreign ministry enters "semi-emergency mode" due to Gaza operation; employees' vacations cancelled.

A Mop will be necessary..Lots around

What is funny, retard?

I had a feeling a day or so ago when this started that if Egypt becomes involved it would be the start of something big.

Also note.. Syria is a proxy of Iran [and Russia, and less so China] so in effect if Syria becomes involved Iran is involved.

Perhaps then Israel publicly makes a connection to Iran based on Syria's involvement and feels they have an opening to attack Iran outright.

These things can escalate VERY quickly..
it just depends on how involved Egypt and Syria become.

And don't think the U.S. is immune if it gets nasty..
from hidden internal cell attacks to cyberwarfare the U.S. may be more exposed than you imagine.

Just in case.. it's a good time to re-check your prep..

Do you really think they meant to just shoot them for fun..Cut me a break, they want to kill anything they can. NOW they will pay the piper.

Has HAMASS launched operation cryalot yet?

Wrong.

The UN bid explicitly VIOLATES the Oslo accords -- both the letter & the spirit.

Muslims only keep treaties as long as it's convenient and profitable to them. So when Israel agreed to bring the desperate, AIDS-riddled Yassir Arafat and his boys from exile in Tunis in early 1990's, of course Arafat was only tooo happy to sign Oslo Accords, presumably backed by Bill Clinton's guarantees. An aging master-terrorist Arafat gor Nobel Peace Prize, international legitimacy billion euros in aid and lots of weapons. He was happy.

Flash forward 19 years later, now that West Bank economy has gotten much stronger than before Oslo....now that Abbas has found his new sponsors in Qatar and Turkey, he can risk losing some of Israel's tax collection funding of Palestinian Authorities.

Yep, classic Muslim/Prophet Mohammad tactic -- only keep a treaty or agreement as long as it benefits you and you are dealing from position of weakness and have no other choice.... Then break the treaty at a drop of a hat when other options emerge (see: Obama in White House, Arab Spring instability, Erdogan's neo-Ottoman ambitions)_

no

The hospitals in Gaza should have requested that Hamas not pick another fight they can't win.

President Shimon Peres spoke on the phone with President Barack Obama and updated him on IDF operation in gaza

Agreed

Because their abilities (range/ targeting/ etc.) may be limited does not directly reflect change in their intentions.

ARAB LEAGUE..Thats what

the fact that Hamas has still not retaliated fear me....

THey need a few hours to brush up on the propaganda bombing aftermath films. You know..the ones where the ambulance is magically on scene within seconds, and the brilliant Gazans repeat "Allah Hu Akbar" while carrying the injured in the worst possible way...one man per limb...

What's the first rule of handling the injured? Don't move them! First thing they do is get cameras rolling, then carry some person to an ambulance already there somehow, most likely dislocating shoulders, knees, and ankles by the horrific way they carry their injured.

Oh right, says the asshole from the US of Gay.

PERES TOLD OBAMA `THERE ARE LIMITS' TO WHAT ISRAEL CAN TOLERATE

If the world really works the way many here think it does, that conversation went like this:

Peres: Barack, if you know what's good for you, keep your mouth shut over the next several days/weeks.

Obama: Yes sir.
