No, it has only started.

See what violence Israel's latest actions have created!

Hmmm.... maybe it is time for the Pallies to stop attack Israel. When will they learn?

Israeli soldiers have mostly been killed by friendly fire so far.. Israel's PR is self destructing.

What are you talking about?

Israel has suffered its heaviest loss of life in the campaign so far when three soldiers from its elite Golani Brigade were killed and 24 wounded in northern Gaza when a tank shell hit a building where the infantrymen were resting.

That's confidential.

 

[JHatman]

Gaza's borders haven't been strong enough to keep the rockets out in the past so I can't help wondering how this offensive is going to improve that.

There has been heavy fighting and Hamas have been putting up some form of defense but that to me only proves the freedom that these terrorists have had to move about without any resistance from Palestinian government.

I don't think this war is a be all and end all and surely there will be repeats of this in the future..

 

[BBSA]

That's confidential.

Typical answer of somebody who does not have a counter argument.

As alantjie said in another thread:

In warzones these things happen.Nobody doubts this is a tragedy put you can't always blame the soldiers for taking action defending themselves, comrades and innocent civilians lives. You would probably do the same

the un school school that was attacked ... what went wrong that this happened?... thought Israel was surgical in its approach ...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090106/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_israel_palestinians

but i guess with this statement "But it has accused Hamas of using schools, mosques and residential areas for cover." ... everyone is a target ... so no end to Israel "defending" itself ...

Welcome back , exactly. Facts are facts

 

[adamr]

what went wrong???? UN school???? 30 dead ... second school .... UN???

so is the UN also in the game of "terrorism"?

EDIT: so you saying there is no end and if everyone is a target until everyone is wiped out will Israel stop?

EDIT x 2 : Explain to me more about the "promised land" ... just for my consumption ...
