Seven people were killed Monday in Gaza, and more than three dozen rockets fell into Israel, the latest events in days of fighting that marked the worst escalation of violence in the coastal territory in months, officials said.

Israel said its airstrikes have targeted militant rocket launching sites across the Palestinian territory in response to more than 200 rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel since Friday. More than 36 rockets were fired into Israel on Monday, Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said

You two need to stop throwing your toys around.

So, where are we thinking this will end up? Endemic tit-for-tat bombing, or massive aerial bombardment?

If I could, I'd make their pols all go sit in a corner for a nice long time out while the grownups talk. If these idiots act like naught children, I say we treat them like it.

At least that's what my inner Evil Overlord would like to do. Unfortunately, that's not an option. Instead, the world seems content to sit back and let them go at it like kids in a schoolyard *sighs*

I'll say it now about both sides now. THEY'RE. BOTH. IDIOTS.

Somebody ought to separate those two...

DON'T INSULT ISRAEL LIKE THAT, YOU'RE ANTI-SEMITIC  /pro-Israeli idiot

Oh Israel and Palestine,

[MadCatTLX]

"Residents near the northern Gaza border should expect a light rocket shower but otherwise beautiful day. Our five day forecast shows a retaliatory strike from Israel over the next two days. Afterwords the whether should return to normal hotasfuck conditions"

This is a standard day for Israel. Also: Intimacy during rocket attacks. WTF?

That's not pro-Israel, that's just being a reactionary douche.

Personally, I consider myself pro-Israel in the respect that I believe the state has a right to exist and should exist. That does not mean I agree with its actions in the international community.

[Lt. Fred]

This is not a matter of hate or stupidity or lack of understanding. It's a fairly standard international relations problem; one country is weak and the other strong. The strong beat up the weak, unless the weak can find some way to make violence cost more than the strong can gain from it.

Really? What right do Israelis have to push Palestinians off their land, land where they have been living for thousands of years. What right does Israel have to bar non-Jews from citizenship? What right does Israel have to expel 400 Israeli born children of foreign descent? People did not stand for South Africa creating an apartheid state, why should Israel be allowed to do that? What right does Israel have in creating settlements in Palestinian land, building Jewish only roads and sticking checkpoints around the country at will?

Exactly. Thanks for running with my throwing toys remark, too. Even if it was unintentional.

I'm sick of them both, honestly.

I think Wytch's second sentence addresses that, actually.

Thanks for the correction, when writing the comment, I didn't know what to call that type of person exactly, that's why I put the word idiot at the end of it. I agree with your stance for the most part, I have no problem with Israel's existance, but for the most part I oppose most of the actions they take.
