A Border War

Over the past few days, more than eighty(80) rockets and mortar bombs were fired from Gaza into Israel. The Jewish State responded with surgical airstrikes against those firing by the IAF and an IDF officer was critically injured in a bombing by the Gaza border fence. These attacks on America's closest Mideast ally are not isolated incidents but part of larger campaigns by 1.)jihadists bent on creating a universal caliphate and in so doing, ridding the world of the Zionist entity and 2.)forces acting on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This harassment of Israel is a harbinger of coming attacks not limited to Gaza but launched by Hezbollah in Lebanon as part of the broader war Iran is determined to initiate to "wipe the Zionist entity off the map". What starts as a skirmish now may soon envelop all of us in a global conflict, a real Third World War between the West and her ideals of enlightenment and individual liberty and those who revile freedom and seek to impose submission.
