Olmert Talks Truce With Hamas As An Israeli Woman Dies In Rocket Attack




I've had it. I've simply come to the end of my rope with Ehud Olmert. The leader of Israel today was working on the finishing touches on yet another proposed truce or ceasefire or calming or whatever the hell you want to call these thing involving Hamas and within two hours of that, a rocket fired from Gaza hit an Israeli farm house and killed a 70 year old Israeli woman.

Islamic Jihad was quick to claim responsibility for the rocket attack but Israel is holding to their claim that any rocket fired from Gaza is ultimately the responsibility of Hamas.

But the fact of the matter is the "mighty" fighters of Palestine, the "proud and fierce" members of Islamic Jihad and Hamas killed a 70 year old woman in her house. For that, there should be no talk of truce. There should be no mention of a ceasefire. The only acknowledgement by Israel should be hellfires and laser guided missiles raining down on Gaza. I will not rest until at LEAST 100 Hamas and 100 Islamic Jihad die for this cowardly act.

Here's the details of the attack from the article here at Breitbart:



A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip killed an Israeli woman on Monday hours after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert set conditions for a truce with Palestinian militants in the Hamas-ruled territory.
The projectile slammed into a house in a small farming community near the Gaza border, killing an elderly woman, an Israeli army spokeswoman said, adding that the victim was around 70.

Both attacks were claimed by the Islamic Jihad group, which has refused to sign an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire proposal but also said it would not violate its terms.
Islamic Jihad militants earlier on Monday fired two long-range rockets at the seaside Israeli town of Ashkelon without causing casualties


I've sat here with white knuckles as nothing was done about the Jerusalem seminary massacre. I sat patiently as Israel pulled back from Gaza after only killing a few dozen Hamas after the border attacks but this second death in just a few days from rocket attacks have tipped the scales for me. There were NO Israeli military targets anywhere close to these rocket attacks.

Olmert ...you have only one viable responsibility and that is to protect your people. You have let the islamic pigs from your south kill two of your people in three days and you talk of peace possibilities? Get off your ass, call your commanders together and simply instruct them to kill 200 total Hamas and Islamic Jihad by the end of Wednesday. When the dust settles and the next rocket lands in Israel, tell them you want another 200 dead on the Gaza side. And so on. I guarantee you, the rockets will stop, the border attacks will stop. And if you are considered about Palestinian civilian casualties...then I suggest you search the web right now and see how much the world is crying out about the massacre of a 48 yr old man and a 70 yr old woman in your land.



Rocket kills woman after Israel sets conditions for Gaza truce

A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip killed an Israeli woman on Monday hours after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert set conditions for a truce with Palestinian militants in the Hamas-ruled territory.
The projectile slammed into a house in a small farming community near the Gaza border, killing an elderly woman, an Israeli army spokeswoman said, adding that the victim was around 70.
On Friday an Israeli man was killed in the same area by a mortar round launched from Gaza.
Both attacks were claimed by the Islamic Jihad group, which has refused to sign an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire proposal but also said it would not violate its terms.
Islamic Jihad militants earlier on Monday fired two long-range rockets at the seaside Israeli town of Ashkelon without causing casualties.
Israel has vowed to respond and says it holds the Islamist Hamas movement, which seized power in Gaza in June, responsible for all rocket attacks.
"The murder of the elderly Israeli woman in the Negev today is the second fatality in four days resulting from hostile fire from Gaza," Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said.
"Hamas controls the Gaza Strip, they are responsible for these attacks, and these deaths and they will be held accountable," he added.
More than 2,000 rockets and mortar bombs have been launched at southern Israel from the Strip since the beginning of the year, roughly the same number that were fired in all of 2007, according to the army.
The latest attack came hours after Olmert asked Egypt's intelligence chief Omar Suleiman to tell Gaza militants any truce would be conditional upon progress being made towards freeing a captive Israeli soldier.
Olmert also said Palestinian armed factions would have to stop smuggling weapons into Gaza if they want Israel to accept the Egyptian-brokered proposals to halt the violence in the besieged territory.
Suleiman was in Israel to seek the support of the country's leadership for the truce plan, which has the backing of 12 Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's Fatah party.
In his talks with the Egyptian official, Olmert linked any truce to "progress in the negotiations for the release of Gilad Shalit," captured by Gaza militants in a 2006 cross-border raid, a senior Israeli official said.
"The prime minister asked Suleiman to obtain the response of the Palestinian factions to the conditions," the official said on condition of anonymity.
Unless he receives a positive response, Olmert will not convene his powerful security cabinet to discuss and vote on a truce.
"These are indispensable elements in any quiet," government spokesman Mark Regev told AFP. Both sides generally use the words "quiet" or "calm" to describe the proposed truce.
Defence Minister Ehud Barak earlier met Suleiman in Tel Aviv and said Israel would respond to any attack from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

  1. Not a bad suggestion Shark, but my thinking was that if you take out 200 at a time, that leaves more for the next round to shit their pants in anticipation. : )
