Israel responds to Hamas attacks with campaign of airstrikes
The Israeli military commenced what government officials are calling a “widespread campaign on terror sites and operatives in the Gaza Strip, chief among them Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets” after suffering nearly a week of rocket attacks on Israeli territory.
The Israel Defense Forces opened Operation Pillar of Defense with an airstrike on a car carrying the head of Hamas’ military wing Ahmed Jabri. More airstrikes quickly followed and are believed to have targeted other top Gaza-based terrorists and their weapons caches. Update (12:25 PM): The IDF has released video of the strike.
An IDF spokesman stated on Twitter that the opening round of airstrikes targeted 20 sites and sought to destroy stockpiles of longer-range Iranian-supplied missiles that Hamas has smuggled into Gaza. One report stated that the air force struck a warehouse containing Iranian-supplied Fajr missiles.
U.S. ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro reiterated ”Israel’s right to defend itself and its citizens from these attacks” three days ago. The Obama administration has yet to comment on these latest events.
Update (11:28 AM): Israeli media are reporting that the IDF is sending emergency call-up notices to reservists. IDF General Yoav Mordechaitold Channel 2 news ground troops may be sent into Gaza: ”There are preparations, and if we are required to, the option of a entry by ground is available.”
Israeli artillery has joined the air force in hitting targets in Gaza and eyewitnesses report that multiple Israeli naval vessels have appeared along the coast of Gaza.

Could be a prelude\false flag op used that will somehow be stretched to include (Iran). Because you know, Iran is responsible for everything bad that going on, including halitosis. Then the US get the plausible deniability they need to openly attack.
Stay tuned…

action, when your neighborhood is under attack, don’t say we didn’t warn you. If you think this war is going to stay outside the Us, you are wrong. Maybe dead wrong.

Israel was a mistake from the start. Maybe we should reserve the north coast of Alaska as the new homeland for ‘the chosen’, although the climate admittedly is somewhat antisemitic. But they will need a safe place to hide once the truth about 9/11 comes out in the open, for instance if US states that want to secede from AIPAC Washington and their wars and debts, start a little independent investigation of their own, to create proper pretext of doing so:

action says: “Go get em’ boys, finally shits getting interesting.”
For ‘action’ war is entertainment, and ‘action’ already has beer and chips ready to enjoy the spectacle from his couch where others are supposed to carry out the real action, while ‘action’ will confine his own actions to flipping the channels with his remote. Forget it action, WW3 as the final military act of the US, designed to hand over control over the planet to your zionist masters in Washington and NYC/Walstraat, is going to involve you. Expect universal US conscription, including you, to fight Eurasia, provided the US will not fall apart before or during the war as individual states will try to escape the slaughter.

Good, I want it ALL to collapse, I know full well what it entails. I want war with Iran because it has the potential of fucking up the oil supply. I hope it comes to the US and everywhere else too. Isn’t that what you’ve been preaching? An end to corporate/financial control through energy/fiscal dominance? At least I’m honest. And by the way, I don’t own a television and am more mentally and physically prepared than the vast majority.

Or so you assume, actionjackson…lol. Have you tried 3 days without water? Or a week without eating? Or maybe 72 hours without sleeping? Insanity is just the other side of any of those 3 events.

I have done close to everything you have just listed and am well aware of their effects. I count everyday as a blessing and would be happy to die when that day comes, thank you for you’r concern.

“I want war with Iran because it has the potential of fucking up the oil supply.”
Yes, I had/have these thoughts as well occasionaly, the trouble is war cannot be planned and is very difficult to stop. I am less concerned with the fate of current humanity, including my own, but more with the potential of humanity. Nearly a religeous sort of thing. Humans are by far the most promising dice roll by mother Nature, would be a shame if that development broke off. What’s coming now is a huge challenge and to be honest, we have been consumers and couch potatoes long enough; were getting fat and old and without passion. It is time for something new, something difficult, something to set your teeth in. We have to be strong again as we soon won’t have the luxury of 100-150 energy slaves per capita.

You have all seen or know about the films, Planet of the Apes…. if this war takes off as WW3…that’s going to be the final episode of human rule…..who are the real monkeys???

Human Beings are by far the worst creatures that Mother Nature has ever faced.
If we could get our shit together and learn how to live within the confines of Nature, instead of trying to change it, to please us. Maybe Mother Nature wouldn’t need to remove our species from the face of the Earth.

GregT, the plan is already in action. I don’t think that there is much we can do to stop it at this point because we will NOT change. There are about 7 billion of us now and the few thousand that run the world don’t think they are included in the mass extinction coming. Most are old men over 70, who will be dead when the worst of the shit happens. They are selfish, insane, power hungry people with no morals. Just look at the age of the Forbes richest 400 for proof.

BillT,
As usual, I could not agree more. Too bad you live so far away, I am sure that we would have much to discuss.
