Works for me.

#2 When persuasion doesn't work then it's time to try "brute force".

#4 "Killing people for the sake of killing people will not achieve any result. On the contrary it will create more anger and more support for the people they are trying to fight."

Ohkay. So Iz'rl is killing people for the sake of killing people. Not, say, killing specific people who, say, have been involved in activities trying to kill THEM, and preparing for much more of the same.

Guess I misunderstood. Figures - after all, I'm no Middle East expert from Chatham House.

#5 Do Islamofascists understand anything else? They want to dominate the Earth, one way or another, no? Starting with "Juice", i.e. Ain't it better that their gall should be eliminated, rather?

#6 If Israel were using brute force, there would be several hundred thousands dead Paleos---and the World would've been a better place.

#7 "it will create more anger and more support for the people they are trying to fight."

And doing nothing, sitting there takign a beatring from faily rocket and mortar attack... that builds support for Israel?

No. It does not even make the damned slanted newspapers and TV news here in the USA.

The Press does not cover it, so there is no pressure brought to Hamas and its puppeteers in Iran.

Once again, the failure of the press to publsih ALL the news, and their imposing an ideological slant on things has caused harm to the west by presenting the flase as true, and only one side of things.

Israel is damend if they don;t strike, and damned if they do, in terms of "opinion" liek this idiot spouts.

So they make a decision on what will stop the enemy from killing innocent civilians inside israel.

And that means strikes to destroy the enemy and their capability to continue those strikes.

The Palestenians should be thankful that the Israelis are using precision weapons and specific targeting with their attacks. Were they as random and indiscriminate as the Hamas attacks, far more in Gaza would be dead. And were Hamas not putting missiles in apartment buildings and places like that, far fewer Gaza civilians would be dead.

Put the blame squarely where it deserves to be: Hamas and Iran.

#8 This article is proof positive that virtually all arabs are full of shit, impotent, ignorant 8th century assholes.

But I may be generalizing.

#9 "Killing people for the sake of killing people will not achieve any result."

Oh, I don't know. Killing the right people seems to do the trick. Ask the Argentinians.

#14 "Brute Force" is flying over Gaza in a dozen B-52s, each dropping 76 500Lb iron bombs, three times a day for a week. Targeted killing involving precision weapons is only "brute force" against those on the receiving end. Of course, an Arab can't understand the difference.

#15 let the Israelis shwo some real brtue force:

Hub to hub 155' HE, followed by side-by-side D9's scraping the debris for a 2Km "dead zone" along the border wiht Israel. Push the Debris up to build a big berm at the border.

Then tell them for every rocket that hits Israel, Gaza loses a grid square to artillery to widen and deepen the zone.

#16 "Of course, an Arab can't understand the difference." - Old patriot.

No, it's an obvious fact(to the whole discerning world) that that's a clear and serious flaw in his psychological make-up. That propensity for one track mind thinking and blame projection on to others. Himself being always righteous without par!

Was it a wonder why Ishmael was likened to a donkey in Genesis?
