Jerusalem – Israel’s defense minister says the time has come to deliver a “heavy blow” to Gaza’s militant Hamas leaders, after weeks of border violence.

Avigdor Lieberman says he’ll recommend doing so when Israel’s security Cabinet meets the following day. The minister spoke on Tuesday during a visit to a military base near the border.
He says it’s “the only way to lower the level of violence to zero or close to zero.”
Hamas has held weekly border protests for the past six months, aimed at easing a crippling Israeli-Egyptian blockade.
The protests intensified as Egyptian-mediated cease-fire efforts faltered. Over the weekend, Israel halted Qatari-donated fuel shipments to Gaza’s power plant in response to escalating violence.
Since March, 155 Palestinians were killed during the protests. Israel says it’s defending its border.
Yea. Now is the time to ratchet up antisemitism cuz he thinks its the time to attack. Why wont u ahut up and go away and let Jews aroubd tye world live in peace? What a rasha!!!
As John Q. Public, I must tell the DM that he does not need my approval or authorization. There may be support needed from America, and that would obviate less public connections with the WH to insure American support. By taking this message to the public is not just unneeded, but probably counterproductive. regardless, when Israel hits Hamas, it must be a debilitating blow. I believe that taking back some of the land would be a good idea, and elimination of all Hamas heads (as well as the other terror clans) would be critical. There must be a stern warning that efforts to re-arm Hamas would be stopped.
Laughing at all of u. U all dirty Zionists. No NK affiliation just a real yid thats taken aback at such rhetoric. It only brings unprovoked attacks on Jews. Its simple math and yes! Lieberman is a big rasha! He incites violence whenever he cld and hates a chareidi Jew to the bone. The Zionists are all antisemites. Always were. Nothing has changed since their founding fathers hate towards Jews. Zionism was built on antisemitism bigtime. Its all in writing out there. U cant make this stuff up. Just read and c for urselves who u people r defending. The indefensible. Now start cursing again. Its ur time now.
