From the AP Obama: Hamas is being slapped on the wrist again.
The linked AP Report is typically heavy on details to jerk your heartstrings to the Palestinian side but I did manage to get the following facts out of it:
*Hamas has not prevented continuing murderous unguided rocket attacks from Palestine to Israel
*Most of the dead (apparently at least a super majority) are Hamas fighters
*Targets are largely strategic or symbolic Hamas facilities
*Smuggling tunnels from Egypt to Gaza have been cut, preventing a key resupply source for the mujaheddin
*It's mostly air and sea strikes so far, no major ground assaults against Gaza, but the preparations for troop activity are underway
*Egypt is allowing trucks with "humanitarian aid" to enter Gaza
*The international community in the neighborhood are against the Israeli actions
*Credit goes to the Associated Press for not forgetting to mention that Hamas is TRYING to kill women and children, but Israel is trying to kill enemy combatants, who hide amongst women and children (one must assume, from a desire for PR fodder or an excess of cowardice).
I continue to wonder why Israel does not grow a pair and stomp all over the faithful members of the Religion of Peace who refuse to play nice with their neighbors. Maybe they have decided to do just that, finally, in light of the coming dawn of a new error in the USA
