The Gaza body count so far: One.

The body count of the IDF operation in Gaza has risen to three, all terrorists. A PIJ slimeball was killed as he tried to shoot rockets at the IDF, which makes him a battle casualty.

Funny how the world is so quick to go after Israel on the pretense that there will be a horrible humanitarian crisis and a gazillion civilian casualties, and yet, the only death as a result of the IDF invasion so far is an enemy combatant.

Of course, there is also the death of Eliyahu Asheri, the 18-year-old boy who was kidnapped and murdered by the PRC before the IDF stuck so much as a toe over the Gaza border. Not that the world cares overmuch. He was just a “settler.”

Expect more whining when this plan comes to fruition (and approval):

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Thursday rejected a proposal by Defense Minister Amir Peretz and the Israel Defense Forces for a ground operation in the northern Gaza Strip against the ongoing Qassam rocket fire.

Olmert demanded that they present him with an approved operational plan.

According to government sources, the operation, which will target Beit Hanun, will take place, but Olmert wants the operation to be “prolonged and exhausting,” and did not believe that the plan he was shown fit the bill.

Isn’t it amazing that the world is so up in arms about an operation that has killed only one person so far, and that person was a combatant trying to kill Israeli soldiers?

Well, no, not when you take into account Israel Derangement Syndrome (but that’s a topic for another day, or podcast).
