I would like to argue something pretty important to me.

[Busyman]

Mold on it.

What shape.

No, no..."With" mold on it.

[Afronaut]

Enough with cheese allready!


Back to this:

People worried about traveling to Israel.

And in the news:

Israeli Air Force attacks targets in Gaza

Uninviting news to me.

Come to think of it, these news of fighting of Hamas/Israel/whatever adds up.
If I won a ticket for 2 weeks vacation in Israel, I'd probably try to sell it.
Not because whos right/wrong and who does the fighting, but the fact that there is fighting.

Islamic Jihad bombs Israel and is condemned by the Palestinian Authority and, unusually, by Hamas and told to obide by the truce.

Israel responds by a rocket attack on Hamas, an organisation that had kept the ceasefire (for once)...

Go Figure

[tralalala]

Umm... did you read the news yesterday..?

Hammas sent 3 Kassam rockets and killed a woman by hitting her with one of the rockets..

That was the reason of the bombing in Gaza.

Hmmm.....maybe they didn't believe Hamas kept the ceasefire. Go figure.

Actually, no i hadn't.. I had heard how they'd condemned the suicide bomber earlier in the week though.

Perhaps their change of mind had something to do with:

Israel had reaffirmed its intention to resume what it calls "targeted killings" of top militants following an Islamic Jihad suicide bombing that killed five Israelis on Tuesday. It had suspended the internationally condemned policy under the truce.

As they are militants, maybe they took that as a threat?

Or maybe:

Hamas said Thursday's deadly rocket attack on an Israeli collective farm avenged the killing of a hamas leader in an Israeli army raid into the West Bank city of Nablus, part of an offensive after Tuesday's suicide bombing in Israel.

They did after all condemn that suicide bombing.. why were they targeted?

Ya think?

I like the idea of the "targeted killings" versus arbitrary bombings.

[tralalala]

The targeted attacks in Nablus were a result of the bombings.

At least Israel targets militants, not women, children and elderly.....!!!!

[Rat Faced]

Yes, however they targeted a group that had stuck to the ceasefire and condemned the suicide bomber.

You think they're going to just stand by while they are targeted and killed?

Busyman, Israeli "targeting" often involves blowing up an entire appartment block because a militant might be inside... Not a sniper taking one guy out

[tralalala]

Come on man, you know it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. What if Israel tried to kill a Jihad member, but killed a Hammas member by mistake?
It's possible - all Arab militants look the same - covered face with black stockings, and a Kalashnikov handy..

Or, maybe, the Hammas actually did do something that caused Israel to attack.
