I see the ground component is about to start. After Israel's half hearted attempt last time, and the internal political fallout of it this is about to get ugly and the Gazans are going to suffer the retribution they have brought on themselves. As a human being I hate the loss of lives about to happen. As a warrior I understand that when you have an enemy that tries every day to kill your children, while running and hiding from you amongst his own children and neighbors, then he sows their destruction along with his own and Israel has every right to fire back at any location firing at them, regardless of where it's coming from. Hammas "wants" their own civilians to be killed for the political gains and that is the reason they fire from schools and mosques. You all know that's true. So be it. Totten's take is interesting about "proportional force" <http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/totten/48801> International law allows you to keep up your military actions until the offense stops. As long as the rockets keep being fired at Israel, Israel is under no legal obligation to stop returning fire or to agree to a ceasefire.. =c= _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
