Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?
If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?
Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?
What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

i guess you can always move banks, but you may find that harder than it should be, as from my experience, banks tend to look after themselves - certainly not the customer!

An Israeli opinion poll revealed that 60% of Israelis support a new sweeping attack on the Gaza Strip similar to the 23-day operation Cast Lead of late 2008.
The results displayed that only 29.6% opposed such a war.
A similar survey conducted last month for the same paper showed that 50.8% were supportive of a new military campaign against Gaza while 38.8% opposed it.

It is interesting that the world seems to be criticising Libya for the use of cluster bombs. Cluster bombs are banned by over 100 countries. Israel used cluster bombs against Gaza in 2009.

such a shame that the israelis nailed the second major arms supplier to hamas - another murdering bastard extremist off the face of the earth ..... perhaps we should all go into mourning! ..... it's certainly good to see that the israelis haven't lost their touch nor their focus to succeed .... it would be nice to think that was just a dry run before nailing the "real" GM, as clearly us western wussies think it too immoral to do so

Not surprising when Hamas continue to launch rockets and missiles at Israel !
People want the scumbags dealing with. I'm surprised it wasn't 95% wanting an attack.
Deliberately targeting a yellow school bus is yet another murderous provocation by Hamas.
Hey parrot, your hero's birthday is on Wednesday. What are you doing to celebrate?

Hamas fire rockets at Israel as they are occupying their land illegally. It is not suprising that people want to rid thenmselves of an illegal occupying force. The attack on the bus was not Hamas, but another group that disagrees with Hamas. They fired at the bus because it was in a military zone. What about all the residents of Gaza that Israel kills almost evry day.
This was yesterday
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) advanced into eastern Beit Hanun town in northern Gaza Strip on Sunday morning amid random firing, local sources reported.
They said that IOF troops in armored vehicles advanced 100 meters into the area and bulldozed land.
The sources said that the soldiers shot at Palestinian farmers, who were tending their land, and at nearby homes.
Also from yesterday
Israeli navy gunboats opened heavy machinegun fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of Gaza city on Saturday evening, local sources reported.

More Israeli war crimes during war with Lebanon
IDF commander: We fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon
Phosphorous and cluster bombs heavily used; unexploded munitions litter wide area of Lebanon.
"What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs," the head of an IDF rocket unit in Lebanon said regarding the use of cluster bombs and phosphorous shells during the war.
Quoting his battalion commander, the rocket unit head stated that the IDF fired around 1,800 cluster bombs, containing over 1.2 million cluster bomblets.
In addition, soldiers in IDF artillery units testified that the army used phosphorous shells during the war, widely forbidden by international law. According to their claims, the vast majority of said explosive ordinance was fired in the final 10 days of the war.
The rocket unit commander stated that Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) platforms were heavily used in spite of the fact that they were known to be highly inaccurate.

Most of the cluster bombs came from the US.
Hamas doesn't own Israel. The Palestinians own what is temporarily called Israel.

forgive me, but i thought "Hamas fire rockets at Israel as they are occupying their land illegally" meant that it was hamas who reckons israel is hamas's land; if not, who is "their"? .... israel's? .... and if it's israel's, then surely that means they are entitled to be there .... and who says that israel "belongs" to these strangely nomadic palestinians who seemingly emanate form all sorts of strange places ..... finally, who apart from you, says "Most of the cluster bombs came from the US" and even then, what is the relevance?

It is Hamas's as well as they are Palestinians. I can say England is my land no matter who I am, if I am English. The Palestinians were inhabiting the area temporarily called Israel for the last couple of thousand years.
The relevance of the US over cluster bombs was your comment that koshoggi must have made a bundle out of that. I would think that koshoggi was not involved.

The post 4886 is interesting in that Israel dropped bombs on Sudan the other day. Under exactly which piece of legislation was that possible? Certainly Sudan is not too happy about it. On that basis, it would seem to be fine for Hamas or anyone else to fire rockets at Israel.

Sudan accuses Israel over Port Sudan air strike
The Sudanese government says Israel carried out an air strike on a car near the city of Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast which killed its two passengers.
Earlier, police said a missile had probably come from the direction of the Red Sea.
Some sources suggest two helicopters could have been involved. The car, said to be a Hyundai Sonata, was hit about 15km (nine miles) south of Port Sudan on Tuesday.
