Israel Strikes Back

With rockets raining down on the Jewish State, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been left with no alternative but to fight back. The Prime Minister finds his coalition government crumbling from the Right as Avigdor Lieberman seems ready to leave the "unity" government. Netanyahu remains a bugbear to Barack Obama who pointedly endorsed Palestinian leader Abbas for his actions in recent days but pointedly did not praise Netanyahu. Israel, whoever leads it, can not allow a stream of constant attack from Gaza, and so must act. Israel must act with sufficient force to stop the bombardment, but must consider the international condemnation that the Jewish Statte is bound to receive for this act of self-defense. The IDF must not be deterred in reestablishing deterrence when the UN demands Israel end "acts of aggression" (or even "war crimes"), even if the US State Department and Barack Hussein Obama echo those calls. The survival of the Jewish State hangs in the balance.
