After 460 rockets, Israeli cabinet opts against major assault on Gaza

A seven-hour Israeli security cabinet meeting ended Tuesday with an inconclusive decision to “continue attacks on Gaza as required,” after the Palestinians rained 460 rockets on southern Israel in the past 24 hours,  causing two deaths, 100 injured, substantial damage and major disruptions. Hamas announced a ceasefire with immediate effect and issued a celebratory declaration of victory.  The ministers agreed to withhold approval of a large-scale punitive operation.

      “hamas announced a ceasefire with immediate effect and issued a celebratory declaration of victory”

      Notice who is in control. It is not Israel.

      hamas attacks when they want, and threatens further escalation if Israel responds. Israel responds by bombing empty buildings, and warns of this in advance. hamas is ecstatic how they control Israel, and also get 15 million dollars as a reward.

      Israel is being shamed.
      Israel is afraid to attack.
      Israel is afraid of hamas propaganda.
      Israel is afraid of world response.

      No wonder hamas is in control.

    We live piled up on a small Israel territory called Gaza.

    The key line there was “Hamas announced a ceasefire with immediate effect and issued a celebratory declaration of victory. The ministers agreed to withhold approval of a large-scale punitive operation.”
    Jews get ride of your current leadership and the form of government you have. This is why multi-party parliamentary forms of government do not work. The problem is with Israeli leadership. They do not recognize how big the threat is. The correct action is to reoccupy the Gaza and deport all combatants or kill them in place. It appears to me that the Israeli leadership is more worried about EU opinion and business deals they have with them than protecting the Israeli people. Now you need leaders who think like Prussians, Not sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

      I am of the opinion that the Weak Delusional Appeasers of the Israeli sort of Government like a Sort of JOKERS that believe in a Weird Religious Cult and a Beardy Weirdy Homeless Hobo called Jesus who drank RED WINE like a Alcoholic and today I think these very same Weak Appeasers are too Busy Wrapping up Christmas Presents for HAMAS LEADERS ETC that they Believe they can WIN the WAR by Overwhelming them with LOVE and Kindness….Just Facts not WEAK Fiction.

    Maybe the Israeli cabinet and Netanyahu would be dumb enough to accept Trumps peace plan after all! After today I think they would believe Lucifer himself. No pun intended

    Jews will never live in peace and security in the Promised Land until they fulfill their covenant with God. They must fear Him more than they fear their enemies, trust Him more than they trust their friends, and make pleasing Him their highest goal. Instead of worrying how the nations will perceive Israel’s actions, they should worry how the Almighty will perceive them. It’s time to abandon the false religion of liberalism with its weak value system and refusal to call evil what it is. The culture of murderous obsessive rage against Israel can rightly be called evil. Israel should seek the utter annihilation of this culture and stop pulling its punches all the time. If this draws more enemies into the battle, Israel must continue to do what God desires of it, and must have confidence that God can and will protect them against any number of foes, so long as they don’t rebel against Him.

        The Torah gives some pretty good clues. God promised us the land and He even delivered it to us in the Six Day War. But we’re afraid to take it because we don’t really trust His promises, and so we look for ways to retreat from the land, which of course just emboldens our enemies. In the time of Moses, the Israelites made a very similar mistake, refusing to take what God was offering them (the incident of the spies), and it proved to be extremely costly. Just like today’s fear of taking what God has given us is proving to be very costly. It’s clear that Hamas is a mortal enemy, so we should stop trying to make peace with them (an impossible task), and stop merely defending against them, and instead start attacking, and not stop until they’re incapable of mounting any threat whatsoever.
