This is nothing new, nations around the world have been fabricating attacks to justify attacks of their own since the beginning of time.
The missile attacks from Gaza on Southern Israel are not exaggerated or fabricated by the Israeli media. In any case, there is hardly any mention of them on the regular American TV news reports.

Israel took a page from the Obama war playbook and executed a perfect hit on a terrorist.

It is gratifying that President Abbas is pressing ahead with UN recognition. The PA finally realized that the Zionists were never serious about a peace agreement.

Just as much as invading a countries land,murdering its citizens,destroying homes,slaughtering children and entire villages is an act of war. Oh and you can claim that never happened but I have read up enough on the situation there to know why it happened and who started it.

This is strange. Israel and Hamas are going at it on twitter.

Attempting to have any dialogue on this matter, slams people as 'anti-semite' when they acknowledge that israel has played its part in this on-going saga. Very predictable.

How do you characterize people who say that Israel is "paying" Gaza terrorists to fire missiles at Israeli towns and cities????
Or that Israel is "fabricating" Syrian mortar firing on the Golan??? (Not even Syria denies the mortar firing).
What country in the world would tolerate hundreds or thousands of missiles aimed at its population???

I understand and agree with those who are fed up with the anti-Semites who flock to these threads that have anything to do with Israel.

Israel has the right to defend itself. This is a repeat of the 2008 war they fought after Hamas kept firing rockets into Israel.

Tomorrow/Thursday all Israeli schools within 40 kms. of Gaza will be closed. In addition, for the safety of the population, a ban was placed on any large gatherings of 100 or more people. A ban was also placed on activities in shopping centers and all non-essential jobs will be closed.
