The endless cycle of revenge continues. But only one side wants to make peace -- although the other will happily take advantage. From Xinhua (thanks to Twostellas):
GAZA, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Al-Qassam Brigades, armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said on Tuesday that its militants fired 25 mortar shells at Israeli posts on Gaza-Israeli borders.In leaflets, the group said that five mortar shells were fired at Kerem Shalom Crossing southeast Gaza Strip while 12 othermortar shells landed at the military post of Kiss, east of central Gaza Strip.
The group said in another leaflet that six more mortar shells were fired at another Israeli army post, east of Kahn Younis town in southern Gaza Strip.
Israeli Radio also reported that several homemade mortar shells were fired from several parts of central and southern Gaza Strip at Israeli army posts on the borders between Israel and the Gaza enclave. No injuries or damages were reported.
Hamas said that the mortar attacks came as a revenge for killing six of its militants in an air strike on Monday east of al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza Strip.
If I was Olmert, I would free more prisoners.
Olmert also needs to arm those prisoners. He'll feel better if he equalizes things a little.
...after he frees them, arms them, then he needs to pay them...
...maybe when the fireworks fly, Gaza will resemble the moonscape...
If I was Olmert, I would free more prisoners.
If I were Olmert, I'd level Gaza, U.N. be damned.
I'm guessing this is another prelude to an attack on Israel from the other side by Hezbollah, and the start of the next round of intense fighting, and obligatory U.N. condemnation of Israeli over reaction.
If Gaza were leveled the change would be imperceptible, given what the palestinians have done with the place since Israel gave it to them.
No, I4Ls, leveling Gaza would result in a marked improvement in the real estate values.
level Gaza now, and feel the love, no matter what Israel dose it never will satisfy the arab muslims, so they should just do what is right for Israel! level Gaza now.
If I was Olmert, I would free more prisoners.
Dont worry, he will...
We're dealing here with a cultural imperative.
When you scratch a dog on its side, it tends to involuntarily move its hind leg as if to scratch itself.
Well the propensity of Gazastanites when they wish to express themselves as a group is to let off gunfire. Or rockets.
They just have to be inculcated with safer forms of expression.
Well, look at the bright side...it's case-in-point to what my father once told me an adage:
"You can only beat a dog so long, then he's gonna turn on you."
hamas can only say "Bite Me!" so many times before it wears off, and they say it once, too often.
History shows the bolder they get, the more cocky they get, and eventually the more overconfident they get, which gives way to complacency...soon after, they make a mistake...and that's fatal against the righteous might of the Israeli armed forces.
the IDF should blast Gaza to bits
It's hell on earth (w/ apologies to hell)
do it today
Was this one of the mortar firers?

The whole road map to peace!,, What a farce! It is so sad Israel should of never given up their land! Again, they turn on ya like dogs! More more more! You can never do enough for these people. Sharon probably collapsed in making such a decision! It will only get worse! I hope Israel gives them an alternative, like it is time for them to leave too! Enough already!
Update...ummm, speaking of topic, here ya go...
