| Why was there an Israel-Gaza war in the first place? Resistance to the occupation, say Hamas and many in the international media. What occupation? Seven years ago, in front of the world, Israel pulled out of Gaza. It dismantled every settlement, withdrew every soldier, evacuated every Jew, leaving nothing and no one behind. Except for the greenhouses in which the settlers had grown fruit and flowers for export. These were left intact to help Gaza’s economy — only to be trashed when the Palestinians took over. Israel then declared its border with Gaza to be an international

Why? Because muslims hate Jews and want them wiped off the face of the earth. That´s it in a nutshell. It´s not exactly a secret as they have said so out loud for years and continue to do so.

Again, Krauthammer is doing the heavy thinking for the rest of the media. Most of the other ´analysis´ seems to be coming straight from the hamass propaganda dept.

They took over the Gaza to use as a launching pad closer to the border.
When they finally occupy Israel and wipe out the Jews, guess who´s next on the list ?

This question is about as profound as "Why did the chicken cross the road?"
Answer : because the zany Gazanians wanted to wipe out the other side.

So far Israel has only used non nuclear weapons,but if,in a future war they start to lose, they´ll still have their nuclear arsenal ready to be used. Once this point is reached, Israel could sure incinerate the whole middle east?

My question is why did Israel cede Gaza to the terrorists in the first place? Look at a map. Is there any better launching pad for missiles into Israel? It was partly pressure from the USA. I think the US should sign a mutual defense pact with Israel which, NATO like would guarantee to come to armed defense against any attack from Gaza.

A defense pact with Israel, #7? Our pResident in OUR HOUSE is committed to write that pact with Hamas, his buddies and in essence already has with his demands that Israel cede land to these barbarians.

To recognize morsi and hamas as the superior forces in the middle-east? To weaken Israel? To obey obama´s master, iran? Any one or more of those COULD be the answer because ALL of them seem to be the conclusion.

All of the Jew haters of the world like to talk about "occupation" as if Jews were squatters in muslim homelands. They learn this twisted history from their leftist PhD Professors or the main stream media. GOD owns it all and has stated in detail where the borders are.

There was a war in Gaza because Obama was re-elected. Muslims know Obama is on their side and they have nothing to fear. Elections have consequences. As soon as Hamas is resupplied with rockets it will start again.

After Obama´s covert and overt support of the Muslim Brotherhood (and similar) takeover of Egypt and Libya, the Palestinians and their European supporters apparently figured that they could invade Israel with impunity. They counted on the the cheers of Europe and the passive approval of the Obama Administration to ensure an easy victory. They reckoned without the resolve of Israel. When it looked as if the Palestinians, not the Israelis, were about to be driven into the sea, peace broke out.

I just wonder who will be running Syria the next time war breaks out. Instead of the current madman it will probably be an odd-lot collection of Islamic terror groups, which will readily join hands with those in Gaza.

Putting a better spin on this, perhaps Israel has bigger fish to fry? They have absorbed and depleted much of Hamas´ rocket/missile inventory. The Israelis handled Hamas with despatch. Perhaps this is a defanging of their left flank to ease pressure for the upcoming attack on Iran? The Gaza incident involved primarily the air defense and ground forces, which will play a reduced role in an air attack on Iran. The Israelis will restock their "Iron Dome". The trick will be to deny this to Hamas.
Israel foolishly gave Gaza back to the terrorists, likely due to US and "world opinion" pressure. Gained them nothing. Hopefully Israel will reoccupy Gaza after its dust-up with Iran. Screw the world opinion stuff, Israel will never be tolerated by the muzzies or "the world".

The BBC News continually refers to Hamas ´officials.´ Since when are terrorists ´officials´? Does the BBC consider Zawahiri to be an al Qaeda ´official´? Is Osama bin Ladin considered to be a deceased al Qaeda ´official´? Does the BBC respect terrorists? Apparently the answer is yes.

The Israeli´s new strategy is, Speak softly and carry a big Iron Dome, while Hamas seems to have adopted the srategy of, Yell loudly and pretend you´ve had a great victory while standing in the rubble of the many buildings Israel has destroyed along with the lives of 30 top Hamas leaders.
Thirty-five hundred years ago, God delivered the Israelites from Egypt when he parted the Red Sea; now, with another miracle, this time an amazing military invention that repels missile attacks, God has delivered his people from an Egyptian-sponsored terrorist organization.

Why war in Gaza? Israel, our "Outpost of Freedom" in the Middle East, is : (A) A tiny nation state with a population of only 7,933,200 souls (B) Has an Arab (Muslim, Druze) population of 1,636,600 (20.6%) (C) A land area of less than 9,000 square miles and (D) Is surrounded by over 300,000,000 Arabs intent, for the most part, of wiping the tiny "beacon light of freedom" from the face of the earth!

I think it was completely contrived in order for O and Hillary to look good ´negotiating´ the ceasefire. All part of the plan. Their criminality at Benghazi will never be prosecuted. They will never be held accountable. They just keep on, pretenders that they are, failing to defend this nation and its allies but protected by a corrupt press and a nation that has been neutered by fixed elections.

This particular flare up started because the Israelis blew up the Hamas military boss. The Israelis blew up the Hamas military boss because he was attacking Israel. The Israelis ceded Gaza because it can not be held (population) and it is impossible to defend militarily (look at the map). Gaza can´t be a Palestinian state because the Israelis are blockading it. The Israelis are blockading it because they don´t want the Palestinians to bring in more weaponry than they already do. The rationale is fairly straight forward and simple. The CAUSES are what is difficult to reconcile. It´s not math, it´s calculus.

Thousands of activists rallied outside the Capitol on Wednesday to protest the IRS targeting of conservative and tea party groups, with many of the event’s speakers laying the blame for the fiasco squarely at the White House. The “Audit the IRS” rally, organized by the Tea Party Patriots organization in response to the agency’s improper scrutiny of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status, drew members and leaders of tea party groups across the country, radio personality Glenn Beck and the Senate’s tea party trio: Republicans Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas

DENVER — College campuses are known for proudly proclaiming their refusal to tolerate discrimination against any minority group, but try telling that to a conservative. Few would disagree that conservative professors are an endangered species on campus, which is why the University of Colorado Board of Regents is scheduled to consider Thursday a resolution that would prohibit discrimination based on “political affiliation or political philosophy.” Regent James Geddes said the proposed policy change is aimed at bringing more diversity of intellectual thought

Journalist Michael Hastings was killed early Tuesday morning in a bizarre car incident in Los Angeles. Hastings, 33, was best known for writing the Rolling Stone story that ended in Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s resignation as head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Hastings’ final story, “Why Democrats Love to Spy on Americans,” was a searing take on the NSA snooping scandal, which Hastings described as “North Korea-esque.” Hastings pulled no punches as he linked the NSA scandal to the Department of Justice’s spying on reporters and the IRS abuse scandal. Hastings built a case that the same Democrats who turned Bush-era

An IRS supervisor working in Washington told congressional investigators that she personally reviewed applications from groups for tax-exempt status, in testimony that appears to show the agency’s scrutiny of conservative groups extended beyond the confines of the office in Cincinnati. Holly Paz, who was a supervisor in the Internal Revenue Service’s tax-exempt status division, indicated during an interview with congressional investigators that she did review such applications, but indicated that she believed “tea party” meant political advocacy in general — not necessarily conservative groups.

The Supreme Court ruled today in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council that federal law does not allow states the option of requiring voters to prove they are American citizens when they register to vote. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA, or “Motor Voter”) creates a standardized national system for registering to vote in federal elections. It allows for registration three ways: (1) in person, (2) when you get your driver’s license, or (3) by mail. The Election Assistance Commission (EAC, created by a later federal law in 2002)

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
