    Middle East violence

    Well you can't blame Israel for this one. Hamas started this one by attacking an Israeli bus with an anti-tank rocket. And now that Israel has responded, they want a cease fire.

    "Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Sunday that Israel was willing to stop attacks on Gaza if the Palestinians stop firing into southern Israel.

    "If they stop firing at our communities, then we will stop firing. If they stop firing altogether, then there will be quiet," Barak said in an interview on Israel Radio.

    But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned shortly afterward that the converse was also true.

    "Our policy is clear. If attacks against Israeli civilians and Israeli soldiers continue, the response will be very harsh," he said before the weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday.

    Barak's offer comes after a particularly intense few days of hostilities following a Hamas rocket attack on an Israeli bus that left a teenager critically wounded on Thursday.

    Netanyahu said Sunday the victim, Daniel Wiliech, "is fighting for his life. We, along with the entire nation, pray for him."

    Israel responded with a series of strikes on Gaza that has left at least 18 people dead, the largest number since a major Israeli incursion into the territory in 2008-09 in response to Palestinian rocket attacks."

    I think the Islamic republics better take some time to sit down and think before they continue on wit the crazy.

    The ramifications of their behaviours over these last forty years are indicative of someone rising to power who will have had enough of them and one day will simply glass them one by one as nations.

    Then we will have some problems to talk about again.

    and on it will go.

    thanks religion.
    Kung Fu is good for you.
