Israeli Air Strikes Hit Hamas HQ
At least 39 Palestinians and 3 Israelis have died thus far
Israel has targeted the headquarters of Hamas leaders and other key facilities in Gaza, on the fourth day of Israeli air strikes in the territory.
Prime Minister Ismail Haniya's office, which Egypt's PM had visited on Friday, was among the buildings destroyed.
At least 39 Palestinians and three Israelis have died since Israel killed Hamas's military chief on Wednesday.
Israel earlier put 75,000 reservists on stand-by amid speculation of an impending ground invasion.

Awesome.
The Israelis are going to have to launch a scorched earth campaign like Sherman's March to the Sea. For decades, diplomacy has failed and Israel, possessing a vastly superior military has exercised restraint. It is time to accept that there will NEVER be peace and someone has to go....in this case it will be the people who cheered in the streets while the Twin Towers collapsed.
why not call them the people who "murder innocents as an agent of political change", or "cut off heads of journalists", or run rape rooms, or "murder families of enemies".
these kinds of immoral ploys are psychological weapons.
their only utility is being behavior not everyone is willing to commit.
muslims have the most advanced immorality tech on the planet. million dollar air forces and nuclear bombs are only as powerful as the immorality tech behind it.
israels forebearance with superior science tech means nothing in the face of hamas rockets on civilians immorality tech.
1 world califate is the only outcome if we dont upgrade our immorality tech in dealing with violent islam.
we cry our eyes out over abu graib. we simply cant cut it in the real world with little girl notions of geneva convention behavior.
victory belongs to the most amoral. this is why islam is kicking the worlds ass.
i bet israel is about to do a massive upgrade to their immorality tech. ground troops activated.
"victory belongs to the most amoral. this is why islam is kicking the worlds ass."
Interesting perspective. I hate that it has to be this way; I wish that these guys could find a peaceful solution. It's a fucking pipe dream and now is the time to unleash the dogs of war and end it once and for all. Expect the Canucks to have Israel's back and the American gubmint to support the Gazans.
Why would Americans support the palestinians? What political precedence is there for an action like that.
The US is strongly pro-Israel.
Because all you have to do is show some pics of murdered children and the general populace of the US freaks and calls for a cease-fire from Israel. We have no stomach for the atrocities of war and the Palestinians have mastered the art of looking like victims even when it is the result of provoked retaliation.
