Since Saturday, "Palestinian" jihadists fire at least 82 rockets into Israel

Then they whine and play the victim, with willing aid from the mainstream media. "Israel border town residents live 'routine of rockets,'" from AFP, November 11 (thanks to David):

AFP - David Bouskila, mayor of the Israeli town of Sderot, is no stranger to what has become the routine of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel.

"For 12 years, we've been living with the threat of rockets. This has to stop," he said on Sunday, a sense of urgency in his voice.

Since Saturday, Palestinian militants fired at least 82 rockets into Israeli communities and towns near the border with Gaza, as the latest flare-up on the tense border unfolded.

Late on Sunday another rocket slammed into the town.

It caused "major damage" to one home, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

But as difficult as the rocket fire makes things, and for all the sirens that sound to warn Sderot's 20,000 residents of incoming missiles, many living here continue life almost as normal.

Most of the town's schools remained open, and the majority of its shops as well, although the streets were a little quieter than usual on Sunday.

"Rocket fire is the norm in Sderot, I'm not going to close for each new round of violence between Gaza and Israel," 32-year-old Yossi Peretz, a cafe owner in the centre of town, told AFP.

"I'm used to the fire, but this morning when I had to lie on top of my seven-year-old daughter to protect her during an alert, I felt fear and I can't take a little girl trembling on her way to school," he added.

Since January 2012, Palestinian militants have fired around 725 rockets from Gaza into Israel, according to the military....

I can't understand why Israel cannot announce a policy of tit-for-tat by which they will fire an ordnance randomly into Gaza cities for every one of the rockets they fire. I know all the dumb bleeding hearts of Europe will jump up & down with outrage but too bad. Why not?

Israel is fully within its rights of self defense to bulldoze Gaza into Egypt. If Muslims cannot live in peace with anyone of any other ideology, they have no right to live in close proximity to them.

Agreed.

I can see no difference between Gaza - a seething cauldron of megalomaniacal dreams of Total World Domination and of mass-murderous genocidal traditionally-Islamic Jew-hatred that drives the continual hurling of rockets at Jews in Israel, with the aim of destroying property and lives and spreading terror - and Hitler's Nazi Berlin, which was also a boiling stew of hate and megalomaniacal dreams of Total World Domination.

I don't see, therefore, why Gaza should not meet the same fate as Hitler's Berlin: razed to the ground and burnt to ashes.

I have *seen* samples of the poisonous brew of impeccably traditional Muslim Jew-hate, spiced up with tropes borrowed from non-Muslim varieties of same (borrowed, because they chime with the Mohammedan worldview; they would never be taken up, otherwise), that manifest in shows for kindie kids, in 'sermons', in TV programs, not only within Gaza under the Hamasnik jihad gang but also in Judea and Samaria among the Muslims who are ruled by Abbas and co. It is of unmitigated ghastliness, especially in the use it makes of very young children.

Having seen hair-raising samples of this stuff, and knowing how thoroughly it suffuses the entire society, I would not shed one single tear if I saw every Muslim in Gaza being driven out into Islamic Egypt; and I would view with equanimity the razing to the ground of every last hate-centre/ fortress/ bunker/ arsenal/ magazine/ arms-and-explosives-factory, aka 'mosque'.

Why not? Because the civilized man will never deliberately kill innocent civilians; and there are innocent civilians everywhere, even in Gaza.
That's the difference between Us and Them.

http://crossmuslims.blogspot.com/2011/09/us-and-them-nous-et-eux.html

While you are right about civilized man not wanting to kill innocents, we had to do just that in WWll. Unfortunately that was the only way to win . I think it is obvious to the most casual observer that Israel is in the same position now as the Allies were in the 1940s. No one in their proper mind can condemn them for annihilating a people who have no regard for civility and decency. The US. and their Allies should also totally boycott any country that sells any kind of weapon to the Palestinians. Of course that will never happen. Heaven forbid we should have to pay $6.00 a gallon for gas. We are such hypocrites.

I disagree, tit-for-tat strategy was essentially the idea behind the MAD policy the US had against the USSR nuclear threat. The idea is not to kill innocents but the keep your own innocents alive. Was the US uncivilized because of the MAD policy? A civilized person has the obligation to first protect his own even at a cost he doesn't like. The savages of Gaza who start the killings would be responsible for the consequences to their innocents. They would only need to stop firing the rockets.
