May G-d protect the soldiers of Israel.

And may they help the “soldiers” of Hamas get their hoped-for, and richly deserved, “martyrdom”.

Let’s hope it works, and isn’t simply a page from the Lebanon playbook, i.e. an over-reliance on air power when ground forces are needed. Sounds like Olmert is planning an extended, phased operation, so we’ll see.

Better late then never, right? After the lie of the disengagement. After a few thousands missles, rockets, and mortars. After living for three years of horror in the south. Olmert/Livni/Barak are finally letting the army win. I really hope that their motivation is sincere and not entirely related to the elections in which they are viewed as Winograd losers.

Beautiful pictures being provided by the wire services of many uniformed terrorists dead or injured. There is no happiness with the death of people, only satisfaction that the punishment they have inflicted on Jews is being avenged.

But in the post-Shabbat press conference, Olmert already announced that the operation is doomed from the beginning. He announced that the mission is not against the Palestinian people but against Hamas. I’m definitely not saying that the mission should be against the civilians, but the statement should have been worded stronger giving them all a warning not to support terror.

As for Shalit, at least Olmert mentioned him.

Disengagement always equaled appeasement to me. I never supported it. Anyone with a decent grasp of history should never have supported it. Does Czechoslovakia in 1938 remind anyone of anything? Land for peace actually means land for pieces. As those who gained the land are just going to demand another piece of land and another piece of land.

I supported the Disengagement, and silly as it may sound I’d still support it.

I am glad that Israel finally undertook this mission, curious to see how it will play out in the Jewish controlled media.

Jewlicious friends, stop worrying about CNN, BBC and the like. Leopards don’t change their spots and these media outlets won’t change their pro-palestinian bias. Just keep doing what you’re doing – creating a balanced, factual Jewish viewpoint of the conflict on the web. Good job.

First off i never was one of those people that supportted the “Disengagement” I’m watching CNN at the moment and they have all the pity the poor palestine pictures on.I cannot remember EVER seeing anything on CNN about Sderot since the kassams started in 2005.Middle you give the news media to much credit,48 hours more like 48 seconds.The coverage on the BBC will probadly be even worse i can see the headlines now.World condems Israel attacks and show some poor little child all covered with blood.But not say a thing about the whole generation of children in Sderot that suffer from PTSD and cannot have one day to play without hearing a siren.
