Israel Attacks Gaza.....Finally

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip, 29 Dec. 2008 – Israel widened its deadliest-ever air offensive against Gaza's Hamas rulers Sunday, pounding smuggling tunnels and a central prison, sending more tanks and artillery toward the Gaza border and approving a reserves call up for a possible ground invasion.

Israeli leaders said they would press ahead with the Gaza campaign, despite enraged protests across the Arab world and Syria's decision to break off indirect peace talks with the Jewish state. Israel's foreign minister said the goal was to halt Gaza rocket fire on Israel for good, but not to reoccupy the territory.

With the two-day death toll nearing 300 Sunday, crowds of Gazans breached the border wall with Egypt to escape the chaos. Egyptian forces, some firing in the air, tried to push them back into Gaza and an official said one border guard was killed.

Hamas, in turn, fired rockets deeper than ever into Israel, near the Israeli port city of Ashdod.
Yet Hamas leaders were forced into hiding, most of the dead were from the Hamas security forces, and Israel's military intelligence chief said Hamas' ability to fire rockets had been reduced by 50 percent. Indeed, Hamas rockets fire dropped off sharply, from more than 130 on Saturday to just over 20 on Sunday. Still, Hamas continues to command some 20,000 fighters.

Israel's intense bombings — some 300 air strikes since midday Saturday — wreaked unprecedented destruction in Gaza, reducing entire buildings to rubble.

Moslems are outraged across the globe that Israel would dare retaliate against thousands of missile strikes into her country culminating in the death of two young Palestinian girls Friday the two victims, ages 5 and 12, were cousins.

China today said it is shocked by Israel's attack on Gaza and called for an immediate halt to the military campaign that has killed nearly 300 people, but we all know what China would do if terrorists were shooting rockets into their country every day.

Israel is preparing for an invasion of Gaza as 6,000 reservists were called up and the army began deploying tanks and other armored vehicles.

A Moslem bomb blast in Afghanistan killed 14 children...no Moslem outrage! There is only outrage when non-Moslems kill Moslems. And what about world outrage? That only happens when Israel is kicking Moslem butt..... does anyone remember the UN condemning Hamas' unprovoked attacks on Israel civilians? Whatever happens in the Gaza was brought on themselves by the people living there....they are the ones who put Hamas in power.
