Hamas Announces It Is Now In "Open War" With Israel
2012-11-14
As expected, the escalation out of Gaza has been fast and furious with Al Arabiya reporting that the Hamas response to the operation that Israel has code named "Operation Pillar Of Cloud", which an IDF spokesperson has clarified Israel is ready to escalate into a ground operation into Gaza if needed, is that "Hamas is now in open war" with Israel. Moments later the organization Islamic Jihad has unsurprisingly, chimed in: "Israel has declared war on Gaza and they will bear the responsibility for the consequences."

#11  "Won't be pretty."

That pretty much depends on your point of view, doesn't it, Steve?

#10   doesn't mean Israel had to get all angry + air strikey about it!

A tetchy lot, those Juice. Reminds me of "The Gods Must be Crazy", where the running gag about some wild animals is "If you don't bother them, they won't bother you".

Sooner or later, it will be Game On and Hamas will have another glorious Arab failure to celebrate. Won't be pretty.

#1  You mean the launching of 100 rockets in one day from Gaza was not an announcement of open war already?
