Hamas Official Blames Rockets On Collaborators
The rockets being fired from Gaza into Israel is the work of Israeli collaborators, says Ahmed Yusuf, political adviser to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. He says Hamas was willing to agree to a new cease-fire with Israel, but Israel hadn't lived up to its end of the bargain.
And CUI BONO, 'eh?

"Gaza militants fire rocket into Israel; no injuries reported" by Diaa Hadid, Associated Press | February 1, 2009
JERUSALEM - Palestinian militants fired a rocket from Gaza yesterday that exploded close to the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon without causing any damages or injuries, an Israeli military spokesman said.
EL-STINKO!!!
Israeli forces and Gaza militants are supposed to refrain from attacking each other under a tentative cease-fire. The cease-fire has been breached several times, making diplomatic efforts to build a lasting agreement difficult.
Yeah, BREECHED by ISRAEL EVERY DAY!!!
The rocket attack was the first from Gaza since Thursday, said the Israeli military spokesman, who declined to be identified under army regulations. There was no claim of responsibility from any Palestinian militant group....
It gets SMELLIER the FURTHER YOU READ!
Nearly 1,300 Palestinians were killed in the fighting, about half of them civilians, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights. Thirteen Israelis were also killed, three of them civilians, according to the government.
Doncha like how they skip past those death tolls right quick; can not say they did not tell you, but....
Since then, Palestinian militants have fired rockets sporadically toward Israel and killed one soldier Tuesday. Israel has conducted retaliatory strikes and pounded border tunnels it says Hamas uses to smuggle in weapons from Egypt....
It is always the same old Zionist bias. Israel ALWAYS RESPONDING, and notice how they stayed with the Israeli dead for a second paragraph -- a soldier even!!!!
Oh, btw, Hamas has ever right to smuggle in weapons (of course, where are those Iranian Weapons, but...) because they are RESISTING OCCUPATION!
Egypt has begun installing cameras and motion sensors along its border with Gaza to try to combat smuggling into the territory, Reuters reported yesterday, citing security sources.
Does Egypt ever gag on Zionist ****?
President Obama's Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, completed his first visit with Israeli and Palestinian leaders Friday evening, but little substantive work is expected until Israel holds its elections.
Translation: Mitchell is spinning his wheels until Bibi takes over.
For some reason, the Globe cut this from their web and printed copies:
"Gaza militants fire rockets into Israel
JERUSALEM — .... On Saturday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued his criticism of Israel, this time for arresting leading Hamas parliamentarians in an interview with the Washington Post. In the interview, Erdogan described the West Bank and Gaza Strip as "an open-air prison" and said Israel's moves provoked Hamas.
Go man, go!
"You expect them to sit obediently?" he asked in the interview.
Yes, the Zio-Nazis actually do, that is how arrogant and out-of-touch they are; when they are not planning ethinic cleansing genocides, that is.
The Turkish Prime Minister's frank criticism has come as its relationship with Israel appears to be in a downward spiral.
See: Did Mossad try to topple a NATO ally?
That might account for some of the hostility.
On Thursday, Israeli President Shimon Peres had a heated exchange with Erdogan at a panel discussion in Davos, Switzerland in which he accused the Israelis of killing children.
They haven't? See: Photographing the Children of Gaza
Later on Friday, Erdogan suggested the high Palestinian civilian death toll in Gaza during Israel's operation was intentional.
Of COURSE IT WAS!!!
On Saturday, Erdogan said the Israeli government "should check itself" over its war in Gaza.
HE's RIGHT!
"They should not exploit this issue for the upcoming elections in Israel," he said.
They just did!
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor condemned Erdogan's comments. "If Mr. Erdogan wants to be heard, he needs to be more truthful and more respectful of the facts, not to mention to show more respect to the Israeli president," he said.
Why SHOW RESPECT to a MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINAL!!
And THOSE ARE the FACTS!!!!!

And AS I HAVE SAID:
"Fresh Israeli airstrike injures 8 amid fragile Gaza truce (Extra)
Gaza City - The Israel Air Force rocketed a motorcyclist in the southern Gaza Strip late Thursday morning, injuring the rider, a Hamas militant, as well as seven passersby, hospital officials said.
The motor cyclist was in critical condition, the officials at Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis said. All the wounded seven bystanders were children, they said.
It was the fifth Israeli airstrike since Israel announced a fragile unilateral truce 12 days ago, which ended a ferocious, three-week offensive in Gaza aimed at curbing rocket attacks from the coastal salient by Palestinian militants at southern Israeli towns and villages.
Umm, that is NOT a UNILATERAL TRUCE so DON'T CALL IT THAT!
Israel pounded smuggling tunnels along Gaza's border with Egypt three times and twice targeted militants on motorcycles allegedly on their way to or from attacks since the January 18 truce....
--more--"
And the "world community" is SILENT!
So Israel SHOVES IT IN YOUR FACE MORE!!!!!!
"Israel vows "disproportionate" response to rockets
Yeah, so now not only havr they already engaged in war crimes, now they are FLAUNTING IT and telling you they will DO IT AGAIN!!!!
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip they would face a "disproportionate" Israeli military response to rocket and mortar fire that wounded three Israelis on Sunday.
Heightening tensions, Israel told Palestinians living near weapons depots or tunnels along Gaza's border with Egypt to evacuate "immediately," according to text and voice mail messages received by mobile telephones.
TO WHERE?
The Israelis wounded by mortar fire included two soldiers and the first Israeli civilian hurt since a January 18 truce ended Israel's 22-day offensive in the coastal enclave....
ALWAYS the FOCUS on the JEWS!!!!
Oh, it was ISRAEL'S ALLY that fired tke rockets -- JUST as HAMAS has CLAIMED!!!!! Related: Divine Disbelief
Hamas spokesman, Taher al-Nono, also urged all Palestinian factions to "respect the national consensus" on the ceasefire....
Translation: HAMAS wants PEACE!!!!
Israel was criticized internationally for the deaths, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza, of more than 1,300 Palestinians, including at least 700 civilians.
Yeah, U.N. NUMBERS and INTERNATIONAL COUNTS by HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS mean NOTHING!
Critics said Israel had responded disproportionately, in its air and ground offensive in heavily populated areas, to cross-border rocket attacks over eight years that killed 18 people....
Are YOU KIDDING? 18 DEAD ISRAELIS in EIGHT YEARS?
YOU LYING, MASS-MURDERING BASTARDS of Iz-ray-HELL!!!!!
--more--"
And true to their word (for the one and only time):
"Israelis respond to Gaza rockets" by Mark Lavie, Associated Press | February 2, 2009
JERUSALEM - Israel threatened harsh retaliation after Gaza militants fired at least 10 rockets and mortar shells across the border yesterday, and warplanes later bombed the area where Hamas smuggles in weapons from Egypt through tunnels.
I get tird of refuting lie after lie after lie, I really do!!!!!
Where are those Iranian Weapons?
The flare-up raised the risk of intensifying violence in the days leading up to Israel's parliamentary elections on Feb. 10. A late afternoon mortar barrage on the southern Israeli village of Nahal Oz, next to the Gaza border fence, wounded two soldiers and a civilian, the military and rescue services said. Earlier, a rocket landed near a kindergarten near Gaza, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Late yesterday, Palestinians reported huge explosions as Israeli warplanes dropped bombs on the Egypt-Gaza border area, where Hamas operates tunnels to smuggle in weapons, food, and other goods, Palestinians said.
Israeli aircraft first flew over the area in southern Gaza setting off sonic booms. Residents said hundreds of people who work in the tunnels fled, then waited in the streets of Rafah, a Gaza border city, for the attacks to end so they could return.
Yeah, just TERRORIZE the CRAP out of those DEFENSELESS people, you NaZionist filth! Your day is coming and its coming quick!
The Israeli military said warplanes attacked six tunnels and also an unspecified Hamas post in northern Gaza. No casualties were reported from any of the bombings.
Since Israel ended its offensive in Gaza two weeks ago, rocket and mortar fire from the Palestinian territory has increased steadily.
The first rocket since Thursday was fired off? WTF is with the DAMNABLE LYING, AmeriKan jewsmedia?
Israeli retaliation, including brief ground incursions and bombing runs aimed at rocket launchers and smuggling tunnels, is intensifying.
Do I even have to say it?
All three candidates to replace Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in the Feb. 10 vote leveled their own threats against Gaza's Hamas rulers yesterday. Even before the mortars were fired on Nahal Oz, Olmert told his Cabinet that "if there is shooting at residents of the south, there will be an Israeli response that will be harsh and disproportionate by its nature."
BY ITS NATURE is RIGHT, WAR CRIMINAL!!!!
Hamas spokesman Taher Nunu said Olmert's threat was an attempt by Israel to "find false pretexts to increase its aggression against the people" of Gaza.
You mean, like FATAH FIRING ROCKETS?
Hamas has not taken responsibility for the new attacks, which have been claimed by smaller militant groups.
WHY should HAMAS take responsibility when it was FATAH that FIRED the ROCKETS?
Notice how that tidbit of information goes UNMENTIONED by my War Daily?
But Israel says it holds Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since seizing power in June 2007, responsible for all attacks coming from there.
Yeah, even if THEIR ALLY is the one FIRING OFF ROCKETS! What LYING S***-SCUM!!!!!!!!!!
Israeli defense officials said they had not yet formulated a response to the strikes, but said a return to the offensive - in which Israeli tanks and infantry units penetrated deep into Gaza - was unlikely. Instead, they said Israel would consider airstrikes, including attempts to kill Hamas leaders. They spoke on condition of anonymity.
Yeah, AIR BOMBING a defenseless people from on high is NOT OFFENSIVE, according to the rotten AmeriKan MSM!
Those are ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS and are likely to result in MORE CIVILIAN DEAD and SHATTERED INFRASTRUCTURE!!! And the WORLD is QUIET!!!!
The three-week Israeli offensive left nearly 1,300 Palestinians dead, more than half of them civilians, according to Gaza officials. Thirteen Israelis were killed, including three civilians.
Olmert is in the last weeks of his term. He resigned in September over a string of corruption investigations. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, his Kadima Party's choice to succeed him, failed to put together an alternative government, forcing the upcoming election.
Two candidates for prime minister - Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Livni - are in the government, competing for credit for last month's Gaza offensive. The third, Benjamin Netanyahu of the hawkish Likud party, is leading in polls.
Livni told the Cabinet meeting that Israel hammered Gaza for three weeks to persuade Palestinian militants to stop their daily rocket barrages. With the resumption of the rocket attacks, she said, "the response must be harsh and immediate."
Thus the TITLE of this post!
Netanyahu told reporters yesterday that Israel's response must be tough, and then Israel must work for "removal of the Hamas regime in Gaza, and removal of the threat of rockets [falling] on the suburbs of Tel Aviv."
Yeah, WE KNOW that is what this was ALL ABOUT!
"Israeli officials have made no secret that in addition to stopping the rocket fire, they are trying to bring about a more permanent change in Gaza.... The army also has a fourth stage planned that calls for a full reoccupation of Gaza and toppling of Hamas"
--more--"
And he is going to be their next ruler, ladies and gentlemen.
