Yup, Hamas is attacking Israel, this after the Palestinian rockets hit Israel. Nothing new I know. Noteworthy is how the Mainstream Media is twisting the story - Israel as the aggressor. I fisk in lilac italics;

Israel launched a "crushing" [note the word - "crushing" - have you ever seen them use that word when describing attacks against Israel?- Atlas] retaliation Saturday against
Hamas in Gaza with deadly airstrikes, troops massed at the border and a planned
ground incursion after militants fired 35 rockets [sounds pretty "crushing" to me - and actually it was 39 (but who's counting right?) UNPROVOKED rockets, this just after Gaza withdrawal mind you - Atlas] at Israeli towns in their
first [uh excuuuuuuuse me, FIRST? This after numerous attacks on Israel - Atlas] major attack since the Gaza pullout. [Good Ole Jew hating AP -Atlas]

Palestinian militants, an emergency meeting of ministers decided on Saturday,

threatened a forceful response after an overnight rocket barrage by the Islamic

Israel ordered ground forces to the Gaza border Saturday
and threatened a "crushing" response after Israeli towns were hit by the first
major Hamas rocket barrage from the coastal territory since Israel's pullout two
weeks earlier. [Note the headline - "vows crushing" - the story is Hamas attacked Israel with 39 rockets but the headline is about what Israel may or may not do. The headline hasn't even happened. - Atlas]

The Israeli air force launched a further air
strike on Saturday near the northern Gaza Strip on an open field used by
militants to fire rockets into Israel, the army said.[Note the word "further" from our friends at Al Jizz Rooters. Further? The actual story is Israel finally responded to numerous unprovoked attacks after disengaging. What further?- Atlas]

Israel launched its first air strikes on the Gaza
Strip since its historic pullout from the territory following a deluge of
militant rocket attacks endangering hopes of a new era in Middle East peace. [Fair account - shocking considering this is from the French state run (practically) news agency, I think this is a first. Although I would be derelict if I did not mention the sardonic "new era of Peace", when the Palis/Jihadists have done NOTHING to bring about a new era of anything but death to Israel - Atlas]

Hamas is calling for its militants to attack Israel to avenge
Israel's killing of at least two Hamas militants in a missile strike. That came
after a 39-rocket barrage on Israeli towns.
[Once again SeeBullShit News? "On verge of battle". Uh Uh......Israel was attacked numerous times. What would you have them do - die? Uh, don't answer that - Atlas]

In raids across the West Bank overnight, Israel Defense Forces
arrested at least 206 "wanted Palestinians," an IDF spokeswoman told CNN on
Sunday[This is good news, in my mind's eye, but notice how CNN puts wanted Palestinians in quotes? Insinuating what? That the Israelis arrested law abiding citizens for no reason? I notice they don't put "crushing" in quotes when referring to potential Israeli retaliation. Why then "wanted terrorists"? Israel has never been guilty of arresting innocents as opposed to say Syria, Iran, etc. More bias..........Atlas]

Meanwhile, under the rain of rockets tikun olam (repair the world) continues apace. Why is it you never read about these things?
