STUPID QUOTES OF THE MORNING:
Benjamin Netanyahu: “The IDF’s response, attacking three rocket launcher cells, will be much harsher if necessary.” If necessary?
Avigdor Lieberman: “We do not seek a confrontation with the Palestinians and do not wish to escalate the situation, but we shall not sustain one barrage after another without responding.” That’s all we are doing, sustaining one barrage after another.
Brigadier General Mordechai of the IDF: “Currently, the Islamic Jihad took a severe blow to the IDF’s response. It was beaten and felt the pressure.” Your humble servant surmises that someone in the IDF forgot to tell this to Islamic Jihad.
Never have Israeli leaders issued more vacuous threats and statements.
PATHETIC ACTION OF YESTERDAY: Israel contacted Egypt to plead for a ceasefire with Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The Egyptians reported this morning that their attempts failed. But wait . . . now that Hamas/Islamic Jihad have fired 60+ rockets into southern Israel overnight and this morning they have suddenly agreed to a “truce.” How convenient.
PATHETIC ACTION OF TODAY: Benny Gantz, the do-nothing IDF Chief of Staff, is currently meeting with the IDF southern command to decide what to do if there is an ‘escalation’ in the firing from Gaza. If there is an escalation? Benny, you’ve not only missed the battle, you’ve missed the war.
APPALLING ACTION OF LAST NIGHT: While over a million of their fellow Israelis were in bomb shelters all over southern Israel–and many were being injured and one man killed in Ashkelon–somewhere between 15,000 and 45,000 social protesters mainly from the left side of the Israeli political spectrum were singing, dancing, and listening to musical performances in the streets of Tel Aviv. When interviewed for Israeli TV, many of them accused Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the IDF of acting in collusion to stop the social protesters from getting TV coverage. What has this country come to?
