Israel: 'No one is immune' after deadly rocket attack - CNN.com

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Hours after a Qassam rocket shot into Israel from Gaza killed an Israeli civilian, Israel's prime minister on Sunday warned "all those involved in firing Qassams will be hit. No one is immune."
Ehud Olmert's comments at the start of his weekly Cabinet meeting come after the latest round of fighting between the Jewish state and militants in neighboring Gaza.
Early Sunday a Qassam rocket hit Sderot, wounding two people -- one who later died from the injuries, Israeli medical services said.
A hospital spokeswoman said the 36-year-old man died after the rocket was fired over the Gaza border.
Later, Israel Defense Forces confirmed it carried out an airstrike on a Hamas post north of Khan Yunis. There were no reports of casualties.
Earlier, Israel launched overnight airstrikes in Gaza City, Jabalya and Rafa, targeting positions used by Hamas militants, the IDF said.
There was no immediate word from Palestinian Authority sources on casualties from those strikes.
Israeli parliament member Ze'ev Boim said he thinks "Hamas leaders understand now the ability of Israel to react, and our determination to stop the Qassam rockets launching on Sderot."
IDF has been conducting airstrikes in Gaza in recent days in what Israel says is retaliation for numerous rockets fired into the country from Gaza. Palestinians have launched more than 230 rockets into Israel since May 15, an IDF statement sent Sunday said. (Photo gallery)
On Saturday, Palestinian security and Hamas militant sources said four members of Hamas' special forces were killed and three were wounded when Israeli airstrikes pounded Gaza City.
IDF confirmed those airstrikes on Gaza and added its troops successfully arrested State Minister Wasfi Kabaha, a Hamas member of the Palestinian unity government, at his home in the West Bank on Saturday.
On Thursday, Israel arrested Education Minister Nasser Al Shaer and about 30 other senior members of Hamas.
Saturday's wave of violence also included Israeli airstrikes on five targets in and around Gaza City that wounded four people, according to Palestinian security sources.
The IDF confirmed its warplanes carried out at least eight operations in Gaza on Saturday, targeting Hamas targets in Gaza City and Khan Yunis and a Hamas target in a central Gaza refugee camp.
Hamas came to power in parliamentary elections in January 2006 after more than a decade of Fatah rule over the Palestinian Authority.
The United States and Israel consider Hamas a terrorist organization, and the European Union joined them in cutting off aid in part over the group's refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist.

Thoughts?

I like that the European Union has joined us in cuttin off aid to Hamas, I really wish Isreal would just go ahead and dismantle Hamas all they are is a thorn in Isreals side, Isreal does not need to make Treaties(covenants) with the people of Hamas, Palistine, or any other arib nation, and that is what they have been doin all these years

Judges 2​

​

1Then the Angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said: “I led you up from Egypt and brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers; and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you. 2And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this? 3Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you; but they shall be thorns£ in your side, and their gods shall be a snare to you.’” ​

I think that the Palestinians are like David, using a slingshot against Goliath's Tanks and Bombers. It's such a mis-match it's not even close.

There are nearly 4 Palestinians killed for every Israeli killed in this conflict, and we spend more than $7 million a day in aid to Israel. And we helped Israel displace thousands of native Palestinians in the first place post WWII, and they've been increasing their borders ever since.

Killing innocent people is wrong, but it's not more wrong if the innocent killed is Israeli. So who are the bad guys again?

Wow, I have no idea were this thread went.

Any who, Moshe Dayan messed up big time during the 6 day war by taking Palestine and all that.

That is where the real headache began.

don't forget that Arafat and the Palestinians were once primarily in Syria, but when they began to cause trouble, Syria kicked them out. Very little of what could be considered "Palestine" is part of the present day political borders of Israel.

Point is Irsreal is bigger and far capable of blowing palestine off the map and they shouldnt be hindered by the U.N. or any country from finally destroying Palestine
