Israel strikes Hamas
Over the last two weeks, 30 rockets have fallen on Israel from Gaza and Hamas, and yesterday the bodies of three Israeli teenagers, Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-old with dual Israeli-American citizenship, were found murdered after they were kidnapped two weeks ago. So, Israel decided that it was time to respond, despite pleas from the White House to demonstrate restraint. From Fox News;
The Israeli air force conducted strikes early Tuesday morning against 34 targets in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip in response to rocket attacks against Israel’s southern communities. It was not immediately clear if the airstrikes, which targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad assets in the strip and came after more than 20 rockets were fired into southern Israel over the past two days, resulted in any casualties, the Jerusalm Post reported.
Also on Tuesday, a Palestinian who Israel said was a member of Hamas was shot dead when he threw a grenade at forces carrying out an arrest raid in the West Bank. The man was the first casualty since the bodies were found.
The Jerusalem Post reports that the attacks on Hamas came despite Hamas threats that a response would “open the gates of Hell” on Israel.

I wonder, does the President ask Hamas to show restraint and not attack Israel or kidnap and kill Israeli teenagers?
Before, or after he apologizes?
It would appear to even the most low information, low information voter that Bebe just told ovomit to go piss up a rope…
BWAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!
Nobody listens to that girlyman about anything anymore. I am certain that the rest of the world holds the same opinion of the boy that Bebe does…
Yeah, show restraint. Time to bust out the bulldozers. This why I love Israel; when they get hit they strike back. I love how Israel told Barry to fuck off. That’s outstanding.
This administration thinks they’re relevant when they fly the gay pride flag over our embassy in Tel Aviv.
2017 can’t get here fast enough.
Israel DID show restraint! Gaza hasn’t been carpet-bombed, bulldozed, and resettled by Israelis. These fuckers messed with the bull and got only the very top of one of the horns. If the Israelis ever get pissed enough to REALLY release the hounds, there won’t be any Palestinians left.
And that is what should happen ‘…carpet-bombed, bulldozed, and resettled by Israelis.”
And someone was heard muttering, “But, but, but, I TOLD him to hold off!”
As soon as the bodies of the slain students were found, newsies worldwide immediately predicted that Israel’s response would be quick and violent. And we all knew that to be true. Equally predictable is what we would expect of the current US regime, under similar circumstances: either a hashtag campaign, another infamous Red Line drawing session, or both. Yeah, both. I like that. Shows ’em we really mean business.
Yeah. Sounds about right.
But why does this news immediately trigger an image of grown adults dropping to the floor kicking and screaming, ala two-year olds, in the halls at 1600? (Well, at least one “adult”?) The sound in the background is of heads exploding. There must be some serious tantrums going on.
Yeah, I’m replying to myself. I was going to insert Samuel Jackson’s Pulp Fiction Ezekiel recitation here but every clip carried a commercial. And I hate those commercials, especially w/o the opportunity to cut them short. Also, I should have pointed out that Israel’s response was a tad different in duration and kind than The Emperor’s response to Benghazi, wasn’t it? Just a tad.
Fuck the Palestinians, keep killing Israelis and reap the results.
The world won’t be a darker place with less Palestinians, in fact one might argue that the sun would shine a little brighter and the air would breathe a little cleaner without jihadists.
Some day we may understand that the people who want us dead actually mean what they say. Self-preservation should be foremost in our actions. If more dead Palestinians means more alive Israelis and Americans you’d be hard pressed to explain to me why any Palestinians should be left alive.
VOV…Well said. I do not blame Israel, in fact I encourage them to defend themselves. When they make a comment of this is where we stand, they mean it. You would think Palestinians would have gotten the message but their hatred of Israel and America is beyond mentally stable thought. I am glad Israel struck back and should have done more. I am always amazed that do show restraint in their responses. Quick, decisive, on target and to the point. But not overboard. I agree the ME and the world would be a better, safer place without Palestinians. Oh, how our Mr. Pussy in the Oval Office could learn so much from them. But Obama’s idea of restraint to Israel is, “hey guys, I know you’re upset over the dead teenagers. Man I was upset about Benghazi but you need to show restraint. You know, sit back, put your hands under your butt and relax and watch a soccer game or better yet, take a vacation. Wow now that will really clear your mind of all this geopolitical and military worrying stuff. That’s what I do and it works great. By the way Michelle says hey”. Thank you Obama for being the worst president of the U.S. in history. The world laughs at you and then at America because of you.
When people are not afraid of you, that is what provokes them to attack you or pull you into wars. Think about Pearl Harbor, Lusitania, 1979 Iranian Embassy, the US Civil War, Germany v. France since 1870. This “strip down the military” bullshit is going to get a bunch of our people killed.
NEVER AGAIN!!
His Arrogance the Wannabe Emperor B. Hussein 0bama has made himself into the joke of a politician that everyone sees. Liberals like him always think just talking about it will solve everything, but the Israelis know better. Fanatical terrorists cannot be negotiated with, the only things they understand are force and violence. They see any variety of kindness as weakness, and this world is much better off without them!
Exactly. Stomp them out.
LOL X 10!!!
On the Palestinian issue, the Israeli’s disagree with each other loudly and quietly, in clear voices, in public and in private, politically, emotionally, and in lots of other ways. But they rarely kill each other over it. They elect leaders who make simple, clear policy and execute it.
The Palestinians kill Israeli’s and each other over the Israeli issue. They cannot pick a leader who can negotiate for them. Toward the Israelis they behave in dishonorable ways (make a peace, then break it) and they behave in tribal ways – this tribe or family doesn’t agree with the deal made by Abbas or Hammas so that family goes out and kidnaps someone and kills them.
So long as the Palestinians behave like that then Israel is behaving in the appropriate and sensible way. If Palestinians don’t like Israel’s behavior, then make a treaty and stick to it. If you have bad people on your team, prosecute them. The Palestinians have big powerful friends – who they have alienated by their own actions.
Behave like a teenager, get slapped down. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Exactly, the attitudes of tribals like the Palestinians are the reason the Romans decided that oderint dum metuant was an appropriate policy for their enemies.
Let’s also not forget how the Paleoswinians hide among and behind their women and children when they attack while the Israelis defend theirs at all costs.
34 targers???
Did crew rest preclude more strikes?
I have said this here and elsewhere, but it bears repeating. The Palestinians signed their own “Do Not Resuscitate Orders” when they, men, women, and children, danced in the streets of Gaza on 9/11/01. People who hate humanity that much deserve to be removed from the world. People who train their children to hate that strongly are not human and need to be treated like a deadly virus.
I’m sure Barack Ovomit was like “Hey, Bibi. You shouldn’t respond to your citizens being murdered by scum. I don’t and nobody has held me accountable. Just chillax and let those with legit social justice grievances be heard.”
Ovomit not giving a shit when Americans die, once again.
