Operation Summer Rains: The latest
Reports are coming in that Eliyahu Asheri, the 18-year-old high school boy, has been murdered by the PRC. Watch the difference in terminology in the stories. The non-Israeli media will call him a “settler,” but won’t use the word “youth” or “teen.” That’s reserved for dead or captured palestinians. Update: It’s confirmed. Bastards probably killed him straight off.
The IDF is rounding up Hamas legislators, and even got the Deputy Prime Minister in its net. This is the smartest damned thing that Israel has done in decades. NOW let’s talk trade.

There allegedly was a second abduction, two days ago, of a 63 year old man by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. This Fatah affiliate’s action means that both major Palestinian factions must be dealt with.
Also, AAMB claims that they have fired a Qassam missile with a chemical warhead. While the IDF hasn’t been able to confirm this, the boast underscores the need to remove the offensive capability of AAMB and other terrorist groups.

Please, don’t let some U.S. idiot suggest patience or conciliation. Israel owes the Palestinians a defeat sufficient that there is no doubt they lost.

Brrrr… I can’t imagine what would happen if the Palestinians overran Israel (That’d be a Cold Day in Hell).
There’d probably be a news blackout as the Lame Stream Media was having an impromptu celebration for unknown reasons.

If the Palestinians had their own state, This incursion/kidnapping atop a tunnel would be considered an act of war–a casus belli–as it should be.
Let’s see how they deal with being treated like adults, fully responsible for their actions.
Indeed. Except for the trade part. I hope they have a legal basis to prosecute the entire government–and more. I certainly hope Cpl. Gilad Shalit is rescued or returned safely. And regrettably for him, more importantly, they need to be shown that this strategy will not work.
Cox and Forkum weigh in.
