Hamas and Israel

[Da1andonly]

The situation wouldn't suck as much but it turns out Israel had planned the attack and invasion of Gaza months in advance...

out of interest, where did you read/hear this?

Just read the news some more? Any random source is probably more reliable than this forum.

This forum is mostly for answering math questions and watching porn.

But why now, of all times?

Hopefully Obama steers clear. Speaking of, didn't Congress' authorization of the war on Iraq expire a few days ago?

The truce Hamas and Israel had ended without it being renewed I think on December 26th, Hamas didn't want to renew it and began firing rockets into southern Israel. The situation wouldn't suck as much but it turns out Israel had planned the attack and invasion of Gaza months in advance... So it's hard to find any appealing or redeeming qualities in either group.

Israel only has x amount of days until a new Administration takes power and Obama, idealist or not, isn't going to start off without pushing through his idea of diplomacy nor continue to give Israel a blank check. So there's a push to do as much damage to Hamas before international pressure ends their ability to play the military card and Bush and the GOP are gone. Unfortunately if they can't root-out Hamas or at least do a lot of damage to the organization in time we will have another couple months to a year of a "truce" then be back in time for turkey day '09.

Apparently Hamas abandoned the ceasefire immediately after they won the elections in the Gaza-strip some time ago, firing rockets at Israeli territory. No one knows how severe these attacks were/are (some say 50 a day 7 days a week wtf?), but apparently Israel decided enough is enough and responded with the current attack.
