Israel Kills Two More Militants In Gaza Strike, Hamas Says

GAZA, March 9 (Reuters) - Israel killed two militants in the Gaza Strip on Friday after rockets were fired at the Jewish state, Hamas officials said.

The reported attack came hours after Israel's military said it had killed two other militant leaders in an air strike. The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the new report. (Writing by Allyn Fisher-Ilan; Editing by Andrew Heavens)

I love how this truncated article makes no mention of the 100-200 rockets and missiles that Hamas rained on Israeli civilians, including the targeting of schools.
Which is why the Israelis responded.

[Nwo2012]

These targeted murders by israel started before any rockets. The rockets are a response

Total revisionism. Israel targets terrorists who have already killed or tried to kill Israeli civilians. Targetting known terrorists is legal. America even targets is own citizens who TRY to murder Americans.
See http://news.yahoo.com/holder-gives-legal-defense-al-awlaki-killing-215103013.html

Hamas and other terrorist groups have fired at Israeli civilians over 10,000 times since 2000, killing hundreds and maiming many thousands.

Do you regard the firing of rockets and mortars at Israeli civilians as legal and proper?

The Israeli strikes on Gaza were to hit militants "responsible" for the attacks at Eliat. "According to the army's own investigation of the Eliat attack last year, the attackers were not from Gaza as Israeli government spokespeople initially claimed -- they were Egyptian. The army's investigative findings were first reported by Alex Fishman, the military correspondent for the Israeli daily Yedioth Aharanoth, who had treated the earlier attempts to blame Gaza's Popular Resistance Committees for Eilat with extreme skepticism. Bloggers Idan Landau [Hebrew only], Richard Silverstein and Yossi Gurvitz also marshaled evidence shredding the army's case against Gaza."

Brilliant.

A non-Jew calling Jews anti-Semites because she disagrees with them,

[Yarden]

04:32 PM on 03/15/2012

The Eliat attacks were responsible by the Islamic Jihad of Palestine, a funded proxy from Iran that resides in Gaza. And yes, The Egyptians were just as responsible for turning an blind eye and not securing the Sinai.

But your source is invalid.

[Yarden]

01:10 PM on 03/11/2012

Its amazing how Israeli air strikes are the big stories in the news. When the Palestinians launch rockets into Israel, its not news. When Israel defends themselves, its not news. A terrorist killed is news, because they are "nice and good".

It should also be mentioned that the terrorist were trickling in rockets before the pre-emptive kill on Zuhair Al- Qaissi, and the ambassador of Israel to the UN sent a letter to the UNSC furious of there empathy of condemnation of the events. Ofcourse, this is not mentioned, only the strategic counter strike by the IDF of an particular cell. Because of the news, this gives the justification that people use that lobby rockets at civilians equals a strategic strike on terrorist who committed previous crimes. should Israel ever avoid killing terrorists, while given an opportunity to avoid extensive collateral damage?

These terrorist attacks are precisely why the blockade of Gaza is necessary. Without the blockade, the terrorists would be able to launch many thousands of rockets.

Not much discussion here on how this outbreak shows that Obama's guarantees are empty. Israel is getting hit by Libyan missiles. Weapons in the hands of non-state actors in the Arab world is uncontrollable. Mubarak falls, Libya is in a state of anarchy and Israel gets hit. classic Middle East logic.

All israel has to do is get out of Palestine and leave people alone. Its not a difficult concept to grasp.

All Palestine has to do is actual exist. it never has as a country and it never will!

So just to be clear.

If by "Palestine" you mean Judea and Samaria, I would remind you that Israel was NOT IN Judea and Samaria when the Arabs attacked it repeatedly from 1948-1967.

If by "Palestine" you mean the nation state of the Jewish People, you will have to find another wet dream.

Simple question. Why do the Palestinains bomb Israel almost daily. They have a another border with Egypt. So why don't they bomb them near on TWELVE THOUSAND TIMES?

Could it be because there are Jews in the neighbourhood?

[gibranII]

11:04 PM on 03/10/2012

I would say it is because of the level of oppression but your analogy of daily bombardment is bomblastic at best,..

Palestinians never learn that armed violence against Israel is futile. They will never defeat one of the best Armies in the world. Their only for hope is for recognition of Israel as an independent Jewish nation living on the land of its ancestors where the Hewbrew language and Jewish religion began. Once they do that anything is possible even an independent Palestinian entity with Abu Dis as its Capital. Until that day happens the only Palestinians who will enjoy full freedoms are the ones who are citizens of Israel.

[mommamia526]

08:29 PM on 03/10/2012

The keyword is ACCEPT. Of course they can no help but recognize. It is not enough. Abbas has said *I will NEVER ACCEPT The Jewish State*. It is always foolish not to accept reality and to insist on living in a fantasyworld.

Once they ACCEPT reality and see that they are not going anywhere without it, they must MAKE PEACE.

60+ years is too old to have a perpetual temper tantrum and to live outside of reality.

I remember that old house I had also. And I still have the key, as that Palestinian does. I do not hang it around my neck. I have nice jewelry.

In fact, I remember a lot of houses. The house of my grandparents, in The Netherlands. those of my grandparents in Hungary. The first house my husband and I bought. the house I myself bought before that. The many houses I bought after that. I have a drawer full of keys. For the keys I received money, and with the money I bought other houses. And I moved, umpteen times. Lost my pet, that lovely cat Minet, when the Germans told us to get out of the house and leave everything behind. Yes, I remember all that too. Sometimes you can move back to your house, like the Jews have done. But, when you do, there is always a lot of stuff you have to renovate. And you have to adjust, and accept, and learn new things. You have to buy the house, and pay taxes.

Yes, we remember. That is a good thing. Hanging on to the past, and pretending nothing changed, well, now, that is unhealthy.
