    FOX News reporting Israel has launched a "significant" attack on the Gaza strip involving land, air and sea forces.

    Israel is more than capable of "policing" the area. There is no telling to what level they could take retaliation if those crazy Muslims push them too far. The only country that might restrain them from turning Gaza into ashes would be the USA. The Palestinians are literally playing with fire if they arouse the full might of the Israeli military. Like Kinky Friedman once sang:

    They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore,
    They Don't Turn the Other Cheek the Way They Done Before

    We're fine as long as we stay out of it. When we get involved, the nutbags turn their attention towards us. Neither Israel nor the Palestinians are willing to be reasonable about a solution, so as far as I care they can just kill each other off. The world will be better off without two unreasonable, bigoted groups of people.

    Better to do both. We just need to be smart.

    A. Stay the F out of arab-on-arab wars.

    B. Target al Qaeda and other specify threats to us and blow them all to hell.​
