Here's a big cup of "Fuck you." Israel is our only stable ally in the region. You don't leave your friends out in the cold when they're attacked. Well unless you're Obama. We should go in there with F22's and destroy everything around Israel's borders and allow them to do the ground work.

Keep in mind that I like Israel when I say this. We are an ally of Israel; Israel is not an ally of us. They will never sends troops to back ours.

If all out war breaks out over there I will be on a plane asap.

To be honest, I don't see a problem with them not sending troops to back ours. They have a small population and have enemies on all sides. I'd keep all my soldiers as well to defend the home front

Well fuck, we've got to find another way to make this look bad. Frost?

The White House on Thursday threw its full support behind Israel's military response to a barrage of rockets fired by the Islamist Palestinian movement Hamas that rules the Gaza Strip. Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes said it would be "up to the Israeli government" whether to follow up punishing airstrikes with a ground assault.

"Our view is that the Israelis have the right of self-defense when their citizens are faced with the threat of indiscriminate rocket fire from within Gaza," Rhodes told reporters on a conference call.

Asked whether the Obama administration would have any issues with an Israeli ground assault, Rhodes replied that "ultimately, it's up to the Israeli government to make determinations about how they're going to carry out their military objectives."

The Associated Press has reported that Hamas fired more than 200 rockets on Thursday, killing three people, and that Israel seemed to be gearing up for a ground invasion of Gaza. The escalating conflict amounted to President Barack Obama's first major foreign policy test since winning re-election Nov. 6. Rhodes said American officials were in close consultation with their Israeli counterparts "to have an understanding of their plans going forward." The Obama administration has been in discussions with Turkey, Egypt and "some of our European partners," he said, thought to have sway over Hamas in order to get them to urge the militant organization to halt its rocket attacks.

"At the United Nations, where this is being discussed, we've sought to keep the focus where it should be—which is on Hamas's rocket fire as the precipitating cause here," Rhodes explained.

"What we've also said is that the best course of action would be for there to be a general de-escalation of the violence, but that the onus is on Hamas—and those with influence over Hamas—to help bring about that de-escalation, so that we don't see a widening conflict," he told reporters. "So we certainly want to see a de-escalation, we certainly want to see a broader conflict avoided."

The official noted that the White House has urged Israel to take "all steps ... to avoid civilian casualties." He added, "And we deeply regret the loss of life on the Israeli and Palestinian side."

Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren briefed key senators on the operation. The lawmakers—Democrats and Republicans—released a joint statement expressing "solidarity" with Israel while warning that "escalation will only lead to further suffering on both sides."

Remember what I said about the Palestinians playing the victim?

Miraculous Recovery by Injured Gaza Man?
Pallywood is in high gear as Gazans dupe BBC viewers in time-honored style.

Barely one day into the fighting in Hamas-run Gaza, the locals are hard at work playing the victim for the world's press.

Footage from the BBC captured by watchdog group Honest Reporting shows a heavy man lying on the ground and being carried away by residents, apparently after being injured by an Israeli attack.

Moments later, that same man again fills the frame, except he is walking about and obviously unhurt.

The widespread staging of such victim situations is a favored tactic of Arabs fighting Israel and has come to be known as "Pallywood." Because Israel is stronger militarily, the Arabs cling to the underdog image of poor refugees under occupation and siege by evil Israelis, thus eliciting sympathy.

"IDF @IDFSpokesperson

Hamas has turned #Gaza into a frontal base for #Iran, terrorizing residents of Israel&forcing them to live under unbearable circumstances"

It's Irans fault really.

I guess HAMAS manufactures long range missiles in the back of '82 toyota pickups.

I find it exponentially more likely that they get their ordnance from Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

I really doubt SA is supplying them with weapons. And I can tell you right now Egypt gets most of their arms from Iran. I can't even fathom you don't think Iran has their hands in this. They have their hands in EVERYTHING against the west in the region, including attacking US soldiers and supplying weapons. What makes you think they wouldn't do the same against Israel, which they hate even more than us.

Egypt has (or had I suppose) a fairly competent military supply chain. And while the Saudis may not be directly providing Hamas with arms, I assure you that forces from within the country are and that official simply overlook the trafficking of arms to the Gaza Strip.

I'm talking about state sponsored terrorism, not some jackass fundamentalists that happen to live in SA (which I'm sure many do).

[CJ]

I was just listening to a military analyst in Tel Aviv, and she was saying the majority of small arms, IED's, etc. are originating from Iran. Many of the medium range rockets that are being fired right now are from the Libya vacuum.

I should have said that they will never back any interest other than their own.

They are not our ally but we are their ally. I still like them though.

My grand dad fought for them and he was a former SS officer.
