#1 The Israeli attacks in Rafah apparently came in response to the rocket-fire

Written by somebody who's apparently human.

#2 The tipping point in Gaza will come soon. The population of Gaza will have to decide whether Hamas is their best option or is it peace.
The Israelis would do well to continuously remind the Gazans (and the whole world for that matter) that the blockade will be lifted as soon as the attacks stop. Israel left Gaza in an attempt to find a peaceful solution. Land for Peace. This was met with scorn and thousands of rockets shot into Israel. Israel really has no choice. Every country has the right to protect it's citizens. There must be penalties in place as a result of Hamas Gaza's bad behavior. The world must stop funding terror in the middle east. Especially the UN.

#3 "Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip"

Gee, it's too bad Gaza doesn't have any other place they could get goods & services from except Israel. If only Egypt were next door....

#4 The tipping point in Gaza will come soon.

I disagree. There is still a lot of foreign money flowing into a very small area, and the flow of that money is controlled by Hamas. The only possible alternate power is the PA, which is not competent to do much of anything.

#5 From the report: Shortly afterwards, the planes fired three missiles at destroyed installations that once served as Gaza's airport in southeastern Rafah, security sources added. Hmm. That's interesting.
