All the Isralies have to do is turn off the power; but they won't because that would kill power to the hospitals in Gaza. The media is on Hamas side- If they ever showed the true cost of rocket/mortar attacks on the Isrealis, public opinion would turn against Hamas in a week.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-14192841628812031992008-12-31T11:13:00.000-05:002008-12-31T11:13:00.000-05:00Interesting how little play we heard of Hamas rock...Interesting how little play we heard of Hamas rockets killing two Palestinian girls.

That is what started this go around, and at least one other that I remember.<BR/><BR/>This is about how it goes as near as I can tell:<BR/>Hamas: "We need rockets to fight the infidels! But they won't let us bring in the material to make rockets to blow them up with. hmm... what can we do? I know lets dig a tunnel!"<BR/><BR/>Having been through this cycle several times Israel blows up the tunnels that it finds. Then...<BR/><BR/>Hamas: "The infidel pigs blew up my tunnel! Time to light off the rockets that we were able to get through."<BR/><BR/>Israel then gets sick of that and does something about it, which tends to involve lots of things getting blown up including some people.<BR/><BR/>Peace in the middle east will happen if Obama pulls support from Israel. After all who do you think they get their bombs from?Boomeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426395217006469664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-72232308210977580892008-12-31T10:17:00.000-05:002008-12-31T10:17:00.000-05:00Personally, I'm with P.J.
