Anyone who has been there knows that you can't throw a lot of air ordnance into Gaza without killing a great many civilians. Any idea that you can do "surgical strikes" in Gaza is either egregious or intentionally deceptive. The effect here is something like the bombing of London, Rotterdam or Guernica."<BR/>http://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/2008/12/peace-for-ashka.html<BR/><BR/>Btw, given the nutjobbery of the settlers in the West Bank engaging in acts of terrorism against the IDF and police (not to mention innocent Arabs), the settlement movement Bibi so adores will be his bane if he wins office in a few months. <BR/><BR/>They are attempting to tear Israel apart at the seams in order to impose their fanatical version of Israel on the other 95% of Israelis who don't share their delusions. From people who refuse to serve in the IDF no less! <BR/><BR/>The Palestinians must be cheering as the Israelis too give into the demands of their extremists and join the Palestinians (who already did the same in the name of better services) in the cesspool of stupidity that marks so much of the MENA these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
