Israel shows the way once again -- How to deal with Islamic fascism (Hamas)

[sandtest]

For an entire country of the size of two districts of Bihar, surrounded by Arab Islamic countries. The country is facing a threat of being wiped out. Their unique and ancient religion and way of life is being threatened by newfound ideologies born in Saudi Arabia. Their population due to decades of genocide and ethnic cleansing has reduced to be less than the number of people travelling in local trains in Mumbai. Now such a group of souls who have every right to exist, are again threatened by an organization called Hamas -- ideologically and financially supported by Saudi Islamic seminaries and politically-militarily backed by Iran. How they survive while surrounded by the followers of killigion of peace? Simple, use the language they understand -- language of sword! Hamas first starts and throws a few rockets at them and what Israel does next is re-constructs offices and buildings of Hamas by demolishing them with a few laser guided munitions precision delivered by a fighter aircraft like true professionals!! So next time, Hamas and other Islamists try this rocket throwing, suicide bombing again and you know what price you and your sympathisers will pay!

ANALYSIS / IAF strike on Gaza is Israel's version of 'shock and awe' The events along the southern front which commenced at 11:30 on Saturday morning are the closest thing there is to a war between Israel and Hamas. It is difficult to ascertain (geographically) where and for how long the violence will reach before international intervention forces a halt to the hostilities. However, Israel's opening salvo is not merely another "surgical" operation or pinpoint strike. Palestinian sources in Gaza report that 40 targets were destroyed in a span of three to five minutes. This was a massive attack much along the lines of what the Americans termed "shock and awe" during their invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Simultaneous, heavy bombardment of a number of targets on which Israel spent months gathering intelligence. The military "target bank" includes dozens of additional targets linked to Hamas, some of which will certainly come under attack in the coming days. Like the U.S. assault on Iraq and the Israeli response to the abduction of IDF reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser at the outset of the Second Lebanon War (the "night of the Fajr missiles," a reference to the IAF destruction of Hezbollah's arsenal of medium-range Fajr missiles), little to no weight was apparently devoted to the question of harming innocent civilians. From Israel's standpoint, Hamas, which persistently fires rockets while using the civilian population as cover, had plenty of opportunities to save face and lower their demands. In stubbornly continuing to launch rockets during the course of recent weeks, it brought this assault on itself. Advertisement A final decision on the precise timing of the operation was made on Saturday morning during consultations between the prime minister, the defense minister, the IDF chief of staff, and army generals. The cabinet approved the assault in its last meeting on Wednesday. Since that day, the government has waited for the opportunity to strike. Apparently, an intelligence tip indicating that members of the Hamas military wing were convening for a meeting expedited the decision-making process on giving the go-ahead to act. According to initial reports from Gaza, a number of senior Hamas officials were hit, yet the scope of the harm done to the group's leadership has yet to be precisely determined. The Israeli objective is clear: deal as serious a blow as possible to the Hamas chain of command in order to throw its operating capabilities off kilter. Ostensibly, it will not prevent heavy rocket fire on the Negev towns, but it will likely make it more difficult for Hamas to carry out more damaging attacks against Israel. Since Saturday afternoon, the IAF has maintained a significance presence in the skies over Gaza in hopes of intercepting rocket-launching cells belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad. But the rocket barrage which rained down on Netivot (where one Israeli was killed by a Grad rocket which directly struck a house), Ashkelon, and the communities abutting the Gaza Strip is only the appetizer. The defense establishment is girding for a daily round of rocket fire that is expected to exceed 100 projectiles, some of which are likely to reach the maximum range currently within Hamas' capability - 40 kilometers, a distance that extends to the outskirts of Be'er Sheva and Ashdod. It would be reasonable to assume that Hamas is preparing to spring another operational surprise a la Hezbollah: from attempting to shoot down IAF aircraft to the targeting of key strategic sites, like the Ashdod port. The IDF Home Front Command has already launched a massive deployment of its forces who are tasked with instructing the residents of the Negev to remain in their homes (the urgency of the instruction is proportional to the residents' proximity to the Gaza Strip). In addition, a few hundred reservist soldiers have received call-up notices. Israel's continued hesitation in taking action against Hamas is rooted in the trauma it suffered in the wake of the Second Lebanon War. The major x-factor, of course, is not related to the operational capabilities of the air force, but whether or not to launch a ground invasion. Will the government resolve to do so and is the IDF capable of successfully carrying out a mission which it failed to accomplish against Hezbollah? It is reasonable to assume that the picture will become more clearer within three to four days. Until then, the IAF is expected to continue its assault which will be complimented by limited activity from relatively small ground units. As the situation appears now, Israel has assigned modest goals for itself: weakening Hamas rule in Gaza and restoring a prolonged lull along the border under terms that are more convenient for us following an internationally imposed compromise. Hamas, in its continued strikes on the Negev in recent weeks, erred in judging Israeli intentions and has been dragged into a war that it doubtful wanted. Now, Israel needs to be careful in not falling into a trap of its own

Israel deploys tanks and ground troops along Gaza border http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1050618.html

Ehud Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Sky News on Saturday that he would not rule out widening the offensive in the Gaza Strip to include a ground invasion. "There is a time for calm and a time for fighting, and now the time has come to fight," he said.

This Barak man has balls of steel. Go Israel! Fight Islamic terror till last blood. There is no option when your very existence is threatened.

If Hamas had nukes, you think they would do it?

[Desi Cartman]

I read this on paki newspaper and I was wondering why is Israel bombing these people... They forgot to mention how this all started though :P

[Kartikey]

The fact is Isreal can do anything and get away with it, if we do something against those ****ers across the border, we will be ridiculed and forced to stop by the Western Powers and the Media.

Its just that Pakis have nukes plus we dont want our economic growth to get affected. PS: and yes Mr Singh doesnt have balls either

If Hamas had nukes' date=' you think they would do it?[/quote'] this is a broad historical question which I am afraid will expose us Indians again and kind of governments we kept electing in past, undermining our own seurity and safety. First of all, Israel will NEVER ALLOW Nazi organizations like Hamas to acquire nukes, so no question of hamas having nukes. Forget Hamas, even Iran (if at all) gives even a hint of having workable Nuke design the next thing Israel will do is raid the nuclear sites and make Iran Nuclear free. Not to mention Israel sees no difference between Hamas and Iran's nutjob president Ahmedine-is-a-joke since Iran trains Hamas and Hezbollah militarily and provides them with Katyusha rockets and AKs. Now coming back to India, why we Indians allowed Pukiland and their army which has "Jehad is our duty" as official slogan in their badge, to acquire nukes. Well ask this question to Morarji Desai -- one more idiot among many whom WE elected as our PM :giggle: He was actually offered by Israel, direct help to strike at Nukes sites of Pak in Kahuta when their programm was still in infant stage. But wait before, Morarji Desai, find the ghost of our great Chaa Chaa Nehru who actually REFUSED the offer of permanent membership of Security Council in favor of China -- can anyone believe this? No wonder Chinese still refer Nehru as "useful idiot"!

Any porki protesting against this should first make sure they apologize to the whole world for 1971 massacre of 3 million bengalis hindu muslim alike..

[Guest dada_rocks]

the point is to not let rogue nations like these to never get their hands on WMD in the first place at any cost. Israel learnt this lesson 60 yrs ago ... we still havent. The reason why we are what we are is because of the unfestered liberalism and gandhigiri that resides in our nation. After all that has happened to us we still stoutly beleive that if we mind our ways the Jihadi's will mmind their bussiness. There are some really hardcore liberalists who think we should even help the Jihadis so that they get economic parity with us.

bingo

Nehru becoming PM instead of Sardar Patel was a huge disaster for India- wish things would have been different
