#2 If you read all the way down to Pargraph 13 you finally learn "the army reported eight rocket attacks launched at the Jewish state".

#3 And in Paragraph 14, "another two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike after ground forces came under fire from multiple rockets".

So these peace-loving, humanitarian-crisis-laden Paleos seem to be firing more rockets than Dear Leader on the 4th of July.

#4 In northern Gaza, ground forces, armoured vehicles and sappers advanced around five kilometres (three miles) into the territory in a bid to expand a unilaterally declared security zone aimed at preventing rocket attacks.

I'll bet it hasn't occurred to a single Palestinian whose fields have been destroyed to blame the rocketeers and their supporters instead of Israel.

#6 a unilaterally declared security zone

I bet the Paleos would be delighted to designate a security zone. As long as they could launch rockets from inside it.

#8 I think it's going to be a re-run of Operation Defensive Shield in 2002. Pick off and weaken the militants until the Israeli security forces have freedom of go wherever they want.

#9 Pushem' right into the Med and smash all habitable structures. Bring in dozers, and push the rubble down to the beach right behind the rats.

#10 "Both sides to step back from the brink" Annon says. The only brink here is the Paleos being on the brink of destruction by the IDF.

Fuck 'em, IDF! Roll over their sorry asses!

#11 Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniya, whose Hamas-led government has been directly targeted in the offensive, slammed the assault as "collective punishment" on his people and demanded international intervention.

Boy, if that ain't the most supreme version of chutzpah and projection I've ever read, I don't know what is. Hamas blaming Israel for "collective punishment" when they spew hatred of "the Jooooooos" 24/7 from their mosskkks. Boy, all the activity lately gets me to thinking we're getting close to just having to "go postal" on all of Islam-dom and salt the earth afterwards.
