So Israel is finally reacting to the terror enclave's constant bombardment of Israel and Israeli civilians. Que the predictable twitter war, propaganda by the Islamisists and their bizarre allies the far lefties. Even the BBC has admitted that several photos put on twitter have been from conflicts dating over a decade ago and some not even anything to do with Israel. But what is know is that Israel has been under siege by Hamas and a response was justified, here is the tally of rockets launch into Israel over the past couple of weeks :
June 27: 6 rockets, 2 interceptedI understand that 40,000 reservists have been mobilised and that Hamas has been targeting Tel Aviv. Israel's response should be swift and deadly toward the terrorists; Whilst it would be nice to have support from the US (Hey Obama, Israel/UK/Canada etc are your ALLIES!), the first duty of a state is the protect its citizens. In these circumstances Israel has every duty, if not a right, to 'smoke out the terrorists', as President Bush used to put it.
