What a joke
Israel's last resort
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/435068p-366373c.html
"Eleven months ago, Israel withdrew from every last inch of the Gaza Strip. They dismantled all military bases, turned over functioning greenhouses that could employ 4,000 people, expelled all 7,500 Israeli settlers at a huge financial and political cost and declared the lines that divide Israel from Gaza to be an international frontier, making Gaza the first independent Palestinian territory ever." (huh? - Vox)
..."At first, the Israelis tried nonlethal deterrence - diplomatic warnings, then sonic booms from jets. They failed. It was a sad demonstration of the truth in the metaphor that in the Middle East, the law of wild nature applies: An animal that is perceived as weak invites attack. The Israelis fell back on targeted assassinations against terrorist leadership, despite the unavoidable risk that nonterrorists might be killed since the terrorists - cynically and callously - hide among civilians."
This article from the publisher of the NY Daily News, Mort Zuckerman, is so biased and so full of revisionist history it's scary.
I wonder if this escalation by Israel is the bait for Iran, which would allow the US to use force on them. Lets see how it plays out.
