Gaza Strip Turned Into Living Nightmare

I think Hamas Should seriously “RE-Think” their tactics and just loosen up, if they stop attacking Israel with these relatively feeble rocket attacks the devastation would stop.

gaza-attackGAZA: A dentist stood at the bed of a doctor, his good friend Ehab Madhoun, 32, who had just died, his shrapnel-pitted body wrapped in a white shroud.

The day before, Madhoun, a general practitioner, was in an ambulance responding to an Israeli airstrike at the Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza. Another missile hit the ambulance. The driver, Muhammad Abu Hasira, died instantly. Madhoun lingered for a day, dying of his wounds on Wednesday in the intensive care unit of Shifa Hospital, where hundreds of people have been brought since Israel began its heaviest assault on Gaza in three decades.

The dentist cried.

“He was just doing his work,” said the dentist, who would not give his name. “He’s a doctor, and I can’t understand why Israel would hit an ambulance. They can tell from the cameras it’s an ambulance.”

Israel Strengthens Attack Capabilities

August 20th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Military, Politics

Israel, being a nation of primarily Jews whos history has been filled with racial hatred and attempts at complete extermination have begun a large build up of its ability to strike adversaries and defend itself.

Israel is building up its strike capabilities amid growing anxiety over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and appears confident that a military attack would cripple Tehran’s atomic program, even if it can’t destroy it.” The country has also “purchased 90 F-16I fighter planes that can carry enough fuel to reach Iran, and will receive 11 more by the end of next year.” According to the Times of London, President Bush has given an “‘amber light‘ to an Israeli plan to attack Iran’s main nuclear sites with long-range bombing sorties.”

The proposed and expected recipient of this military fury would undoubtedly be Iran, the Iranian President has in recent months and also in the past proclaimed that Israel should be wiped off the map.

Israel, as you could imagine would do anything to avoid history repeating itself at ANY cost and just because we hear about a military build up of its air force hardware, you can bet with confidence that they have the most horribly imaginable contingency plans up their determined sleeves, such as all out, no holds barred nuclear strike aimed at anyone who might threaten their nation or its peoples existence, and because of their history and the attitude of “NEVER AGAIN” they assuredly have many more tricks up their sleeves waiting to be unleashed under the right situation of threat.

The world should pray that NO ONE ever threatens Israel to a high enough degree to unleash their wrath.

Olmert Ready to Attack Gaza

June 6th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Military, Politics

israeli president olmert Tel Aviv - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned Friday that Israel might soon launch a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.

Decision day was drawing closer, the premier said at Tel Aviv airport on his return from a visit to the United States.

The pendulum was swinging more towards military action than to a ceasefire agreement, he said, echoing remarks by Defence Minister Ehud Barak, who threatened such action again Palestinian militants in Gaza.

Israel’s so-called security cabinet raised objections to a ceasefire plan worked out by Egypt because it did not require the fundamentalist Hamas movement to release Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier kidnapped in a cross-border raid two years ago.

Israel is also opposed to Hamas demands it open all border crossing points with Gaza. Media reports said some ministers fear such a move could be used by Hamas as propaganda to claim that rocket attacks on Israeli territory had paid dividends.

Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in June last year after a bitter armed struggle against the Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Israel responded to the rocket attacks on its territory from Gaza by sealing of the Strip and imposing economic and trade sanctions.
