#1 It was a single bomb, not a "huge air strike". A "huge air strike" would be a formation of a hundred planes dropping multiple weapons each turning that entire neighborhood into rubble. This was what looks like one single bomb or artillery round or missile with a secondary explosion.

#2 Sounds more like Abbas is more concerned about positioning himself to be their leader again and less concerned about trying to save the "Palestinians".

Keep up the good work, Israel!

#3 Now nearly half of those killed are civilians?
Next week it will be 2/3 civilians I guess.

#4 We've seen quite a few hits like this in the last couple of weeks. Obviously hitting a large stash of goodies.
I wonder where they are getting their intelligence from?

#5 "Our people are holding up well," Abbas said. "They continue to defend themselves and will never surrender."

Easy for you to say, seeing how they're not taking a lotta incoming on the West Bank, right, Mahmoud? What a prick, trying to horn in on Hamas's martyrdom action.

#7 No, a huge airstrike would be to drop one of them bunker busters about every 1/4 mile, on a good target, the north-south length of Gaza and time them all to detonate at exactly 6:00 pm, preferably with a slight breeze blowing from the west to east. Big boom boom jar jar, blot out the setting sun.

#12 Well, GolfBravo, I was really enjoying your video presentation until I remembered that Obama is going to be our "glorious" Commander in Chief. wretch

Then I was thinking how great it would be for Israel to let all the nice Palestinians over to their side, then just blow the h-ll out of Gaza, and build a new Gaza for the nice people. then I woke from my slumber and remembered . . .

how much I wanted to fly fighter jets when I was in college (30 yrs ago), but they weren't accepting women back then . . .

Anyway, I agree that Abbas is flip-flopping: "Israel is keeping up this aggression . . ?

Violence and aggression are such plastic terms over there. Suicide bombers, missiles from Gaza to Israel is okay though.

gatewaypundit.blogspot and sweetness-light have some interesting footage of Moslem protests in Europe. I found the one where the London police are running from the protesters the most sickening.

Cheers.
