Israel moves closer to Gaza invasion

[Canuck_Buck]

JERUSALEM "“ Israel moved closer to invading Gaza, saying Thursday it had wrapped up preparations for a broad offensive after Palestinian militants fired about 100 rockets and mortar shells across the border in two days.

Israel's foreign minister brushed off a call for restraint from Egypt's president, and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak made a direct appeal to Gaza's people to pressure their leaders to stop the barrages. But the attacks showed no signs of ending. By nightfall, three rockets and 15 mortar shells had exploded in Israel.

[8D][8D]Anyone else think it is time for Isreal to take over Gaza completely ? or take over entire middle east ?

[Centauri]

Yep, is time, and I'm sure America will be right with them. The best solution to a problem like the Middle-Eastis to completely obliterate it.

I think it's time we let Israel fight for itself with out billions in aid from the U.S.A:

I think it's time we let Israel fight for itself with out billions in aid from the U.S.A:

I think our "billions" are tied up in bailing out our economy.

But, I'll also dare to say that most Americans have no concept of what it takes to either wina peace orfight a war under the conditions we expect Israel to abide by. Why don't you just say it:

"Israel should just give up, we don't want them to win. Instead, we want a bunch of thugs to take over their government and run it the way they do (Hezbollah) in Lebanon. America's interests would be so much better served that way."

At least Israel tends to be accountable as a nation for its actions, unlike non-state players (i.e. TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS)like Hamas and Hezbollah.

We give billions to israel every year in aid

"Israel should just give up, we don't want them to win. Instead, we want a bunch of thugs to take over their government and run it the way they do (Hezbollah) in Lebanon.

Never said that. I will say I don't really care what happens to Israel and don't think they are worth one more American life.

America's interests would be so much better served that way."

You give any country over there the money that we do and they will be just as much an allie to the USA as israel, which isn't much of an alliie.Might want to check how China and then Iran ended up with some of the technoligy they have now. Israel sold it to China against our wishes and now might end up eating missles from Iran with the same guidance technology.

At least Israel tends to be accountable as a nation for its actions.

Really Sharon was a war criminal and yjey use weapons that are outlawed and their goverment is even more corrupt then our own.

Says around 250 that was injured but no way of knowing all that was killed or injured in this attack..But also says attack was unprecedented before.. ? Well they have been fighting over there from the begining of time so how can anyone fix it..

Well, can't blame Israel. It is there land promised to them from God. I think they should go for it.

[Charlie P]

That argument doesn't hold water.

I say let them go for it, just don't want the USA stacking the deck, in their favor.

They use cluster bombs this time around in neighborhoods?

[Canuck_Buck]

I've seen no info on the cluster bombs but Hamas targets are getting flattened good...!

Argument doesn't hold water to you because you don't believe. But obviously it does for many jews and God fearing Americans in US who believes it. Until the tide turns, and you have more unbelieving americans and less jews in power, our support is just the way its going to be.
