Israel attacks Gaza

IMHO Israel's actions in the Middle East will eventually lead to the next world war.

The hit on al-Ja'abari wasn't significantly different from our hit on bin Laden. It was a surgical strike. My concern is that Egypt and Iran will get involved. That almost ensures US involvement to protect Israel. This is definitely a "shit hits the fan" moment. We'll see what their morning brings.

and yes, they did kill him.

Present one side of the argument much?

I'm no fan of Israel but only presenting one side isn't fair either.

How dare Israel respond to over a hundred missiles that killed three of its citizens.

They should just let anyone freely take missiles and fire them at innocent Israelis.

Seriously dude?
