GAZA STRIP — Israeli warplanes mounted on Saturday, December 27, a
series of strikes against scores of targets in the besieged Gaza
Strip, killing at least 210 people and wounding hundreds others.
Television footage showed dead bodies scattered on the ground and
wounded and dead being carried away by distraught rescuers.
Thick black smoke billowed over Gaza city, where the port and
security buildings were badly damaged.
Uniformed bodies lay in a pile and the wounded writhed in pain.

Hamas police spokesman Islam Shahwan said a police compound in Gaza
City had been hosting a graduation ceremony for new personnel when
bombed.
Police chief Tawfiq Jabber was among the dead.
Rescuers carried those showing signs of life to cars and ambulances,
while others tried to revive the unconscious.
One badly wounded man quietly recited verses from the Qur`an.
Witnesses said the attacks were carried out by warplanes and gunship
helicopters.
The Israeli military confirmed the strikes and threatened this was
just the beginning of a bigger onslaught.
Tension between Israel and Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza has
been running high since the expiry of six-month truce a week ago.
Israeli leaders have vowed to launched a massive offensive to end
Hamas rule in Gaza, sealed off by Israel since last June.
Holocaust
In their first reaction, Palestinian groups denounced the Israeli
aggression and vowed to avenge the slain Palestinians.
"This is the holocaust which Israel Foreign Minister Tizipi Livni
has marketed to the international community this week," Hamas
spokesman Fawzi Brahoum told Aljazeera TV channel.
He said score of Palestinian civilians were killed by Israel.
"This is a massacre committed against all the Palestinian people not
Hamas alone."
The Hamas official also accused the international community of
complicity in the Israeli aggression.
"Such an offensive would not have been mounted without the deafening
Arab silence, US backing and European complicity."
Brahoum insisted that the Israeli onslaught would not break the
people of Gaza or Hamas.
"This will neither weaken Hamas nor topple its government."
Hamas vowed to avenge the dead.
"All options are on the table to response to the Israeli
aggression."
Hamas later confirmed firing rockets into Israel in retaliation,
killing one Israeli in the southern town of Netivot.

series of strikes against scores of targets in the besieged Gaza
Strip, killing at least 210 people and wounding hundreds others.

Most of whom weren't "civilians," but Hamas terrorists and their
family members.

When you stupidly make war on a technologically superior foe, this is
what you get. In fact, Israel is risking its own civilian population
to minimize casualties in Gaza.

Rather than respond to the troll, send complaints he
- it's the Moroccan Embassy in Australia (the

would either do something about it or risk having their email server
overwhelmed.

Hamas has been firing rockets into israel for months and this is all
Israel does, I'd say they have exercised great restraint.
The govt of gaza has declared crucifixion to be legal and you want me
to be concerned about them?
Hamas was elected by the people of gaza and you want me to be
concerned about them?
A Hamas rep a few days ago on NPR said that Hamas did not fire all the
rockets but Israeli collaborators did. Clearly there is no
intelligent life in Gaza so we should not worry about it.
If the inhabitants of Gaza want the rest of the world to care at all,
they ought to start acting like humans instead of Darwinian failures.

Maybe this is why Israel finally decided to do something about the
rockets.

Considering their accuracy, taking a pot-shot at Dimona would probably
give you a CEP of around a mile.
For the life of me, I'm trying not to to take sides in this whole
mess... but how f**king stupid do you have to be to attack Israel with
weapons that will really **** them off, while simultaneously having
almost no chance of inflicting fatalities on them...due to their
terrible inaccuracy?
It's like shooting a BB gun at a grizzly bear.
That aspect also came home in regard to dropping the 2,000 pound bomb on
Nizar Rayan's house.
The Israelis called him up just before the attack and were going to warn
his family to flee.
But no one answered the phone.
Let me get this straight... he was one of the major leaders of Hamas;
Hamas can sneak in all sorts of weapons from the coast off Gaza City and
through those tunnels from Egypt....but somehow can't manage to smuggle
in a _answering machine_ for a phone?
Maybe there's something in the Koran about phone answering machines I'm
missing, like the Butlerian Jihad aspect of thinking machines in "Dune".
Anyway, a guy who has four wives and dies in Jihad is going to have a
very hard time explaining to his four mothers-in-law where all those
under-aged virgins came from once they are all together in Paradise.
Near as I can figure, the Israelis are taking on something like the
Islamic equivalent of Amish Mormons. :-\
