The law and Gaza-Western nations must apply the standards they apply to their own military

Ministers such as Haim Ramon argued that Israel has such a right, while legal authorities reportedly argued that such responses might be illegal under international law.

What the hell happened to the Israel that I used to know?  The Isreal that kicked the collective asses of three quarters of the middle east in a week.....the Isreal that had the reluctant respect of most of the civilized world, and had the uncivilized world cowering in fear......?

O Lion of Judah where are you..........

Send in the tanks, flatten Gaza and send them packing. Let one of the other Arab nations give them a state.

They're so intent on the Pali cause, let them give them a homeland. Clean out Gaza, send in the tanks and tell them they have two choices, leave or be a pancake.

Problem solved.
