There’s no doubt in my mind that Israel’s response to the rocket attacks on the Israeli civilian population, which serve no strategic purpose, are quite justified. Hamas literally begged Israel rocket-by-rocket to respond and so it did. Hamas wasn’t expecting anything like what it got in return and the price it has paid has been

After 20 rocket and mortar attacks last month and the killing of two Israeli soldiers by Hamas, the IDF hit the Hamas ruled Gaza Strip with a series of thirteen air attacks,mainly centered around Khan Younis, where the killings occurred: Israel says there have been at least 20 rocket or mortar attacks in the past month that have landed on its territory, one of which killed a farm worker. The BBC&#...

Top Story Israel continued to push troops into Gaza on the 11th day of the conflict. In talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that no truce was possible until Hamas was prevented from re-arming. Israel claims to have killed 130 Hamas fighters since the conflict began while five Israelis have been killed by Hamas rocket attacks, which are moving dangerously cl...

The Israeli-Hamas war in Gaza offers an interesting study in modern warfare. Hamas has the weaker hand with only a handful of fighters, a tiny budget but, crucially, a stack of rockets with the range to strike nearby enemy cities. Few dispute that Hamas have provoked the current conflict with rocket strikes into Israel from early 2008. Quite possibly the rockets were smuggled through tunnels to Eg...

THE United Nations' Human Rights Council has voted to condemn Israel's actions in Gaza against Hamas terrorists. This follows a weekend when dozens of rockets were fired into Israel, destroying a home and hitting a school playground. The UNHRC resolution urges an end to the rocket attacks but mentions neither Hamas nor violations against Israeli civilians. Truly, you could not make ...

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been a very strong supporter of Israel. And, thankfully, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has brought his own foreign policy into synch with the Conservatives. But really, verbal support for Israel in its war on Hamas is mere symbolism. It's important, because what our country says about Israel and Hamas is a reflection of who we are -- what we think of democ...

Rather inconveniently for the Zionists using the rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel to justify their murderous assault, this picture shows the brother of some of those injured by a Hamas rocket, calling for an end to the Israeli military action. Second from the left in the picture is Ihab Orabi, a construction worker from Kufr

Israel should ease its Gaza blockade further and allow Palestinians to resume exports from the territory, the European Union's foreign policy chief said on Sunday (18 July) during a visit to the Hamas-controlled enclave.

Israel continues to absorb terrorist attacks from Gaza, at the rate of 20 rockets over the last 25 hours. The worst strike was in Ashdod, where an Iranian Grad Rocket hit a synagogue while the worshipers were at morning prayers. A number of people were injured, two of them seriously. IAF aircraft hit seven Hamas security installations in Gaza early Friday morning, killing at least one Palestinian....

Ehud Barak, Israel's so -called defense minister has an interesting idea of how to deal with Israel's genocidal enemies just over the border in Gaza. Instead of actually taking real steps to forcefully deal with rocket and mortar attacks by Hamas on Israel, Barak decided to nurture them and send a very different kind of message. The Hamas regime had a little problem..not only with cash f...
