I don’t believe Israel will back down till they have eliminated Hezbollah’s missile threat.

At the very least.

We are only waiting for the Supreme Leader’s green light to take action.

“Supreme Leader”? Sounds like a lot of moonbat Democrats talking about Bush. Funny that they never point their fingers at our enemies who do sing to the tune of a “supreme leader”.

Wait a minute,...funny? Or suicidally sad?

“Supreme Leader”?  Why does that sound faintly Communist to me?  Hmmmm…

Whatever may be the fate of the captive soldier Gilad Shalit, the Israeli army’s war in Gaza is not about him. As senior security analyst Alex Fishman widely reported, the army was preparing for an attack months earlier and was constantly pushing for it, with the goal of destroying the Hamas infrastructure and its government. The army initiated an escalation on 8 June when it assassinated Abu Samhadana, a senior appointee of the Hamas government, and intensified its shelling of civilians in the Gaza Strip. Governmental authorization for action on a larger scale was already given by 12 June, but it was postponed in the wake of the global reverberation caused by the killing of civilians in the air force bombing the next day. The capture of the soldier released the safety-catch, and the operation began on 28 June with the destruction of infrastructure in Gaza and the mass detention of the Hamas leadership in the West Bank, which was also planned weeks in advance. [1]

In Israeli discourse, Israel ended the occupation in Gaza when it evacuated its settlers from the Strip, and the Palestinians’ behavior therefore constitutes ingratitude. But there is nothing further from reality than this description. In fact, as was already stipulated in the Disengagement Plan, Gaza remained under complete Israeli military control, operating from outside. Israel prevented any possibility of economic independence for the Strip and from the very beginning, Israel did not implement a single one of the clauses of the agreement on border-crossings of November 2005. Israel simply substituted the expensive occupation of Gaza with a cheap occupation, one which in Israel’s view exempts it from the occupier’s responsibility to maintain the Strip, and from concern for the welfare and the lives of its million and a half residents, as determined in the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Israel does not need this piece of land, one of the most densely populated in the world, and lacking any natural resources. The problem is that one cannot let Gaza free, if one wants to keep the West Bank. A third of the occupied Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip. If they are given freedom, they would become the center of Palestinian struggle for liberation, with free access to the Western and Arab world. To control the West Bank, Israel needs full control of Gaza. The new form of control Israel has developed is turning the whole of the Strip into a prison camp completely sealed from the world.

Besieged occupied people with nothing to hope for, and no alternative means of political struggle, will always seek ways to fight their oppressor. The imprisoned Gaza Palestinians found a way to disturb the life of the Israelis in the vicinity of the Strip, by launching home-made Qassam rockets across the Gaza wall against Israeli towns bordering the Strip. These primitive rockets lack the precision to focus on a target, and have rarely caused Israeli casualties; they do however cause physical and psychological damage and seriously disturb life in the targeted Israeli neighborhoods. In the eyes of many Palestinians, the Qassams are a response to the war Israel has declared on them. As a student from Gaza said to the New York Times, “Why should we be the only ones who live in fear? With these rockets, the Israelis feel fear, too. We will have to live in peace together, or live in fear together.” [2]

The mightiest army in the Middle East has no military answer to these home-made rockets. One answer that presents itself is what Hamas has been proposing all along, and Haniyeh repeated this week - a comprehensive cease-fire. Hamas has proven already that it can keep its word. In the 17 months since it announced its decision to abandon armed struggle in favor of political struggle, and declared a unilateral cease-fire (“tahdiya” - calm), it did not participate in the launching of Qassams, except under severe Israeli provocation, as happened in the June escalation. However, Hamas remains committed to political struggle against the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. In Israel’s view, the Palestinians elections results is a disaster, because for the first time they have a leadership that insists on representing Palestinian interests rather than just collaborating with Israel’s demands.

Since ending the occupation is the one thing Israel is not willing to consider, the option promoted by the army is breaking the Palestinians by devastating brutal force. They should be starved, bombarded, terrorized with sonic booms for months, until they understand that rebelling is futile, and accepting prison life is their only hope for staying alive. Their elected political system, institutions and police should be destroyed. In Israel’s vision, Gaza should be ruled by gangs collaborating with the prison wards.

The Israeli army is hungry for war. It would not let concerns for captive soldiers stand in its way. Since 2002 the army has argued that an “operation” along the lines of “Defensive Shield” in Jenin was also necessary in Gaza. Exactly a year ago, on 15 July (before the Disengagement), the army concentrated forces on the border of the Strip for an offensive of this scale on Gaza. But then the US imposed a veto. Rice arrived for an emergency visit that was described as acrimonious and stormy, and the army was forced to back down. [3] Now, the time has finally come. With the Islamophobia of the American Administration at a high point, it appears that the USA is prepared to authorize such an operation, on condition that it not provoke a global outcry with excessively-reported attacks on civilians. [4]

With the green light for the offensive given, the army’s only concern is public image. Fishman reported this Tuesday that the army is worried that “what threatens to bury this huge military and diplomatic effort” is reports of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Hence, the army would take care to let some food into Gaza. [5] From this perspective, it is necessary to feed the Palestinians in Gaza so that it would be possible to continue to kill them undisturbed.

Breathtaking.  Even in such a long post, the density of the lies, fabrications, unbalanced reporting and misleading evaluations is extremely high.  This entire post is illustrative of some who would see Israel destroyed, and will use any propaganda possible to justify that end.  I truly pity you, NWE(or whoever you are).

NWE spins, Israel does not need this piece of land, one of the most densely populated in the world, and lacking any natural resources.

If Israel doesn’t “need” that piece of land “lacking any natural resources”, then why do the “Palestinians”?

A third of the occupied Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip.

“Occupied Palestinians”?

And get a load of this story from http://www.israelnn.com:

Ma’an: Nasrallah Will Give Tel Aviv Residents One Hour to Flee
01:00 Jul 19, ‘06 / 23 Tammuz 5766
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

  Arab press sources close to the Hizbullah say that residents of Tel Aviv will be given one hour to flee before the terrorist group launches a barrage of missiles at the city. 

The unnamed sources are quoted by the Palestinian Authority-based news agency Ma’an as saying:

“The Lebanese resistance is preparing a retaliation parallel to Israel’s military actions. Hassan Nasrallah will address the people of Tel Aviv and warn them to evacuate the city within one hour. As soon as the delay ends, hundreds of heavy missiles will start landing in the city, which has been divided into squares in order to let damage reach every inch of the city. An estimated 500 missiles are expected to land in Tel Aviv in a short period of time.”

The Arab sources further said that the Hizbullah has been very careful in cultivating its public image, in order to increase the surprise effect of the planned barrage on Tel Aviv.

The war, from the perspective of Nasrallah, has not yet begun, the sources said, adding that other “surprises” planned by the Hizbullah include more kidnappings of Israeli soldiers from along the Lebanese border.

Also claiming to have “surprises” in store for Israel is the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad. On Tuesday night, the terrorist organization claimed to have fired a Katyusha rocket at Sderot. The Katyusha is a more deadly rocket than the Kassam, and is being deployed against Israel in the north of the country by the Hizbullah.

Can I ask what NWE stands for?

...

The mightiest army in the Middle East has no military answer to these home-made rockets.

Has no military answer?

and what do you call what is going on now?

The answer to receiving bombs is throwing bombs,

They had a military answer, they were just showing restraint,
disproportionate restraint despite years of terrorism and hundreds of rocket attacks.

Hamas and hezbollah have been begging for a “military answer” for years!

Hamas and Hezbollah have made their bed and now they bleed in it.

And what about this?

There were 10,000 Jews living in Gaza until recently.
They were so creative that while representing less than one percent of the population they accounted for 10% of the entire gross national product of the country. Productive and law-abiding as they were, their existence in Gaza required a Israeli army presence to protect them. So uncontrollable is the genocidal hatred of Palestinians for Jews (more than a million Palestinians on the other hand live peacefully in Israel enjoying more rights than any Arabs or Muslims living in their own countries). The Israeli army in Gaza was also necessary to prevent genocidal Palestinians Jew-haters from lobbing rockets into Israeli schoolyards.

Eventually, the Israeli leadership made a decision to capitulate to Arab Jew hatred and uproot the Jews living in Gaza, and to withdraw the forces that protected Israel from being attacked by Arab criminals. In the months that followed, the Arabs did nothing to improve their new homeland, which they now controlled completely. Instead, they elected genocidal terrorists to govern them.

They destroyed the horticulture industry the Jews had created and that provided 10% of their GNP.
They lobbed 800 or so rockets into Israel.
During all this mayhem no word of condemnation for the Gaza aggressors came from the UN, France, Russia and rest of the Jew-hating, terrorist-appeasing and terrorist-supporting international community.

this part is worth repeating,

They destroyed the horticulture industry the Jews had created and that provided 10% of their GNP.

They destroyed the horticulture industry and now they play the starving victim and beg the international community for food…

They destroyed something that provided 10% of their GNP.

Why?

because of insane hatred of anything jewish.

If they really wanted to live in peace they would have worked at those horticulture installations, instead of spending their days teaching their chidren to hate jews.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he will have food forever.

Give a man fishing equipment and if he destroys it and then complains he is starving, he is completely insane!

Here is to hoping that Israel destroys the military capability of Hezbollah in Lebanon.  I am not sure how any force can be brought to bear against Hezbollah in Iran.  The jihadists make clear their intentions. WHY is it so hard for some humans to believe them???

Hizbollah.

Bring it on.

For the benefit of all humanity let’s finish this with your extermination.

Friend of USA said, If they really wanted to live in peace they would have worked at those horticulture installations, instead of spending their days teaching their chidren to hate jews.

Those horticulture installations that provided employment for a lot of “Palestinians” when the Jews ran them (they were often family friends of the owners)? Why would the “Palestinians” do that? They have a bigger job to do: hating Jews and destroying anything that resembles wealth and normalcy.

The “Palestinians” can then turn to the “world community” and trick the idiots into thinking that they’re “oppressed” by Israel. Said idiots will then turn around and knee-jerk blame the big bad USA and Israel for the poor poor plight of these “occupied people”.

See how the game works?
