#1 Israel will target any Palestinians who fire mortars at Israeli communities, Israeli security chiefs announced Thursday, signaling a further erosion of a shaky Mideast truce

Self-defense = moral equivalent of a terror attack via mortars. Biased F*&kers

#2 I hope that Israel is fast-tracking the construction of the Wall. The sooner they completely separate from the Paleos the better the Iaraelis will be. After checking out the sermon recently on Paleo PA TV by MEMRI, I would say that there is no hope for these folks.

What ed is talking about is counterbattery fire. The PA is either impotent in getting a lid on Hamas and others or they are tacit accomplices. Bottom line, the PA is not up to the job of holding up its end of the bargain. Israel should announce that they are going to shut off the water to Gaza and let them pound sand.

#3 Israel won't shut off the water, that's inhumane, regardless how effective it would be. Unfortunately, most of the peace-desiring Palestinians migrated out long ago (lots of them settled in the States, expecially the Christians).

#4 This is the problem with a "truce". A truce IS NOT permanent cessation of hostilities. If all the Paleos do is keep insisting on a truce of one kind or another after an interval of fighting, then they are not serious about the idea of settling this dispute on anything other than terms that totally favorable to them. This whole repetitive attack/truce cycle is nothing more than a continuous buying of time, the intent being to wear down the bigger parties involved into pressuring Israel to give up more than they should.
