Israel: Israeli Defense Forces Thinks About Re-Occupying Gaza
The contradiction in Israel's unilateral withdrawal plan lies in its assumption that the Palestinian's hatred towards them would slowly die down, or at least mellow. But the hatred does not rest on specific issues, but rather on the teachings of Islam, especially irredentism. (That is, a land once Islamic is Islamic by right, forever.) In the final analysis, there is still no substitute for victory: Israel 'could occupy Gaza again'
An Israeli general has said Israel will consider re-occupying part or all of Gaza, if Palestinian militants continue firing rockets across the border.Gen Yoav Galant said the move would be considered if such attacks reached an intolerable level, or involved more powerful, longer-range weapons.
Gen Galant is head of the Israeli military's southern command.
Palestinian militants in Gaza frequently fire short-range and crudely made rockets into Israel.
The rockets rarely cause significant damage or casualties.
(BBC bias alert: firing 'crude rockets' that 'raraley cause significant damage or casualties', is still an act of war.)
Israeli forces say they fired more than 2,000 artillery shells into the northern Gaza Strip, in the first two weeks of April. Israel says this is an attempt to halt the growing number of rocket attacks by Palestinian militants.A number of civilians have been killed and injured in the shelling.
(BBC bias alert: the 'number of civilians killed and injured' by Israeli counter-fire were in the line of fire because of the actions of Palestinian murderers. Anyway I'll stop the article here or this bias alerts might just keep on coming.)
