Ik denk niet dat Syri� Isra�l zou bedreigen zonder Iraanse (en mogelijke Russische) steun. Tevens zou Hamas niet Isra�l aanvallen zonder te co�rdineren met Iran (de Iraanse raketen die nu in Tel Aviv neerkomen) en Egypte (de premier die Gaza bezoekt als steun).

Nu steunt Egypte Hamas en zijn Syri� en Iran stil..

Deze oorlog zou de Arabische landen kunnen verenigen en de druk van Syri� kunnen halen. Ook zou Isra�l te druk kunnen zijn om Iraanse nucleare installaties te bombarderen..

Als Syri� bijvoorbeeld oorlog krijgt met Isra�l, zou het troepen kunnen doorlaten van Iran om tegen Isra�l te vechten..

Ze was wel bang dat ze Hamas mogelijk in de problemen had gebracht met het wijzen in de binnentuin. Toch vond ze het wel goed de verdediging van Hamas.

In January, according to the Israel Security Agency's monthly summary, Palestinians fired 9 rockets and 7 mortar shells at Israel in 14 separate attacks.[2]

January 1

Local residents were instructed to stay within 15 seconds of bomb shelters in case of additional attacks. Israeli security officials estimated that the attacks were so timed because of the stormy weather, which limits the effectiveness of rocket detection systems.[13][14][15] Next day, Israeli warplanes struck six targets in Gaza in response to previous rocket attacks, hitting two weapons storage facilities, three tunnels used for terror activities and a weapons manufacturing facility.[16]

February 6
Palestinians fired a Qassam rocket into the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council, causing no injuries or damage. The Color Red alarm sounded near in the area prior to the explosion.[17]

February 10
After nightfall, Palestinian terrorists fired a rocket into a community in the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council.

The rocket also damaged an electrical pole, cutting off power. No injuries were reported.[18]

February 11
Palestinians fired a rocket into the Eshkol Regional Council, causing no injuries or damage.[19] Israel responded to the attack and to the previous one with air strikes on three tunnels used for terror activity – in the south, center and north of the Gaza Strip – and a weapons manufacturing facility in the north. Officials in the Hamas-ruled territory said that one civilian man was killed and another was wounded.[20]

February 17
Palestinians took advantage of the stormy weather, which hinders Israeli rocket warning systems, and fired two rockets into Israel. One landed in the Eshkol Regional Council, and the other hit the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council, south of Ashkelon. Later, Palestinians fired an additional rocket into the Eshkol Regional Council. No injuries or damage were reported in any of the attacks.[24][25]

February 18
With the stormy weather continuing, at about 11:30 am Palestinian terrorists fired a Grad rocket at Beersheba; the projectile landed outside the city. Sirens sounded in Beersheba and the Bnei Shimon Regional Council, and residents entered shelters.[26][27]

Palestinian terrorists later fired a rocket toward Israel, but it exploded instead on a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip, causing no injuries.[28]

Israel responded to recent attacks with an air strike on a weapons manufacturing site in the Gaza Strip.[29]

February 24
At about 1 am, a Palestinian terrorist cell attempting to fire rockets at Israel was thwarted when an IAF jet fired at it. Palestinian sources said that two people were injured.[35] At about 2:30 am, Palestinians terrorists fired two rockets into the Eshkol Regional Council, causing no injuries or damage. Israel responded with air strikes on two terror targets in the northern Gaza Strip.[33][34][35][35][36]

February 25
In the evening, Palestinian terrorists fired two Qassam rockets at Ashkelon. One landed in an open area within the city, and the other landed in the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council. After nightfall, a third Qassam rocket landed in the southern Eshkol Regional Council. No injuries or damage were reported in any of the attacks. In response, IAF aircraft targeted a weapons-manufacturing site and a smuggling tunnel in southern Gaza Strip, causing no injuries.[37][38][39][40][41][42]

Main article: March 2012 Gaza-Israel clashes
Palestinians fired over 300 Grad missiles, rockets and mortars deep into Israel. Three civilians were wounded directly by the fire, one of them seriously. Additionally, 21 people suffered from shock and 11 were injured while fleeing for cover. Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted many of the Palestinian-launched projectiles aimed at large cities, shooting down 56 rockets in 71 attempts.[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]

Most of the attacks followed an Israeli air strike on Zuhair al-Qaissi, commander of the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, a terrorist group with close ties to Hamas, and Mahmoud Hanini, a top field commander in the group. Al-Qaissi had overseen the 2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks, which killed eight Israelis including six civilians.[61] Israeli officials said that he was preparing the final stages of a new mega-attack that could have claimed multiple lives.[62]

To protect students from the rockets, Israeli officials cancelled classes in all schools in the cities of Ashdod, Ashkelon, Beersheba, Netivot, Kiryat Malakhi, Kiryat Gat, Gedera, Yavne, Lakya and other southern communities, as well as in Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Ashkelon Academic College and Sami Shamoon College of Engineering.[63][64][65][66] The Home Front Command barred all mass gatherings in southern Israeli communities.[67] The Israel Police raised the level of alert around the country.[68]

Israel responded with air strikes on weapons storage facilities, rocket launching sites, weapon manufacturing facilities, training bases, posts, tunnels and terror operatives, killing 22 militants, mostly from Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the others from the Popular Resistance Committees. Four civilians were killed as well.[56][69][70][71][72]

The United States, France, and an official from the United Nations condemned the Palestinian attacks, and the US stressed that Israel has the right to defend itself.[73][74] The Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Arab League, Syria, Egypt and Iran condemned Israel's responsive air strikes on militants.[75][76][77][78][79][80]

Het is dan ook niet gek dat mensen door wanhoop het gewelddadige pad kiezen. De Isra�lische regering en haar burgers moeten niet de vermoorde onschuld spelen. De Isra�li�rs moeten eens opkomen voor de Palestijnen. Roep op dat de kolonisten verwijderd dienen te worden, de grond teruggeven moet worden aan de Palestijnen en de blokkade opgeheven moet worden. Aangezien Isra�l zichzelf de enige democratie in het Midden-Oosten noemt moet dat wel lukken, toch? Maar dat doen ze niet en in plaats daarvan doen ze alsof hun neus bloedt. Isra�l werkt radicalisme alleen maar in de hand.

Dus we zijn het in ieder geval erover eens dat Israel terroristisch bezig is?

Het zijn geen vrijheidsstrijders. Die schieten geen raketten af op onschuldige burgers. Mensen die dat doen, noemen we terroristen.

11:07 P.M.The Israeli cabinet approved the request of Defense Minister Ehud Barak to call-up 75,000 additional reservists. The draft order is due to take effect within a few hours. During Operation Cast Lead, some 10,000 reservists were drafted and during the Second Lebanon War, some 60,000 reservists were drafted. (Haaretz)

Elke Israelier is terrorist totdat hij afstand doet van zijn land "beloofde land" en erkent dat dit land van de Arabieren is. Die Joden die daar wonen zijn niet "onschuldig", zij hebben alle schuld in deze zaak, hun zijn immers degene die daar naartoe kwamen om te wonen.

Een goede vergelijking is te maken met de Nazis die zich in Nederland gingen vestigen, de Joden in Israel zijn net zoals de Nazis bezetters die ook weten wat ze doen en ook weten wat voor gevaren met zich meebrengen.

Ach ja ze zijn zo zieluuuuggg... Ik heb zo ontzettend veel medelijden met ze. Misschien moeten ze is kijken wat Isra�l doet als ze niet constant rotzooi hun kant opschieten en aan de lopende band hun kinderen als plofkip Isra�l insturen.
