Isreal's Revenge
Reuters reports:
Still, it would be hard to disagree with the notion that Isreal has the most powerful military in the middle east. Which makes sense as they are pretty much an extension of our own. The Palestinians know this, so why? Return the boy and continue attempts to make peace. Right?
Of course, I don't understand all of this bloodshed over a holy ideal, forgive me for being atheist. I just think that the most ridiculous, irresponsible and inefficient type of war is the religious war. You are killing each other for something you have never even seen. How can that make sense?
Israel launched rapid-fire air strikes against Palestinian militants across the Gaza Strip on Sunday after rebuffing a proposed ceasefire by Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas.I understand that the Isreal-Palestine strife goes back a ways, so it never surprises me to see just how hard-headed either one of them can be.
Israel is threatening to expand its offensive unless militants release Corporal Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier abducted in a cross-border raid on June 25, and halt rocket fire on Israeli cities.
