Thats how they rolled in the biblcal days

God is merciful up to a point and when you catch his wrath, you know it. Not a stone upon another, salt the earth and poison the wells. I tend to be very Roman in my war planning

I think they have to kill Hamas to the last child to effect change. Those kids have been brought up from birth to hate

The problem is the obama administration does not consider Hamas terrorist so Iran is doing nothing wrong. I wonder when a full war will break out between Israel vs Iran, Hamas, Egypt, and whoever else.

You could compose a great question to ask them.

I'd like to see Israel kick some ass, just to see them do it.

There will be peace when the palestinians love their children more than they hate the Jews.

and here we are sticking our finger into the gears... Israel is a big boy now, let them finish what they started.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is headed to the region in an attempt to help resolve the incessant violence.

Clinton left Cambodia late Tuesday for a trip to Israel, Ramallah and Egypt.

"She'll meet with regional leaders, beginning with our Israeli partners, to consult on the situation in Gaza," Deputy National Security Director Ben Rhodes said. Rhodes said Clinton will not be meeting with Hamas leaders but rather the Palestinian authority.

He said the visits will support the "de-escalation of the violence and a durable outcome that ends the rocket attacks on Israeli cities and restores broader calm in the region."

"Our bottom line is to end the rocket fire. We're open to any number of ideas for achieving that goal and discuss any number of ideas for accomplishing that goal but it's going to have to begin with reduction of tensions and, you know, space created for the situation to calm, " Rhodes said. "So, we'll be discussing going forward as we've been over the last several days, what are the various ways that we can accomplish that goal."

"She will emphasize the United States' interest in a peaceful outcome that protects and enhances Israel's security and regional stability; that can lead to improved conditions for the civilian residents of Gaza; and that can reopen the path to fulfill the aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis for
two states living in peace and security," according to a State Department statement. "She will continue to express U.S. concern for the loss of civilian life on both sides."

Easier, yes, but not as interesting. If Hamas is thinking that:

A. These new missiles and rockets are defective
B. Someone's tinkering with all of their new toys

They're going to be more hesitant to use them. And you kill everyone around it.

I'm not seeing a new story on that CJ. I'm seeing reports from 2011 though. I'd seriously take every one of them, sell them to Hamas with self destruct codes through a 3rd party and when they are on the launch pad, they explode. Seed a little dissatisfaction with the product

be easier to just track their movement into gaza and then send a rocket to watch em splode

Apparently Israel intercepted a shipment of rockets. They're coming directly from Iran.

[The King]

Yep. Send them right back...express delivery.

Or, since Iran went to all that trouble put them to good use against Hamas and Gaza.
