A little geography lesson. The closest country to southern Israel is Egypt. Gaza isn't a country. I don't know what to call it, a terrorist entity, maybe. What would you call it? Israel keeps claiming that it is at peace with Egypt.

It's a strange sort of peace, an extended and cold cease-fire as Caroline Glick as said. If there was a true peace relationship between Israel and Egypt, then Egypt wouldn't put up with the Gazan terror aggression against Israel. But as all of us with even a fraction of an ear on the news knows, Egypt is a mess with lots of major problems, like unclear election results. That's what happens in a culture of chaos.
For the past three days the Gazan Arab terrorists have been attacking southern Israel with dangerous and potentially fatal weapons. Of course they are blaming us and claiming a ceasefire is our responsibility.
"Responding to the Egyptian efforts, we and the armed resistance announce our commitment to stop this round of confrontation as long as the occupation stops this aggression," said a written statement from Hamas's armed wing.This is consistent with all other past attacks on Israel.
More than 55 rockets hit southern Israel on Wednesday as the IDF struck back at Hamas and Global Jihad targets in the Gaza Strip despite Egyptian calls for an immediate ceasefire.

Israel continues to suffer attacks by the Arabs and we're not stopping them. This is war, isn't it?

Batya,
Don't be silly! Israel's leaders have decided there's no war! They'll maintain the illusion of peace as long as they can away with it.
Of course, there's no peace to be had but no one wants to admit Land For Peace is a hoax.
And there will be a next time.
Come on, Batya, the missile "became airborn"- it did not get placed into a canule, aimed and then launched. So, silly, Batya....
Yes, we are at war and the rest of the world has been as well since at least 9/11, but shhhhh, why tell them that?
I shudder to think what will take place before Israel decides to respond- the "leaders" mayhave to give up world opinion, first.
Re Gaza, "What would you call it?"
I call it Goyish-Occupied Jewish Land.
Norman, me, silly?
Leah, I blog to get things straight. It's healthier than just grinding my teeth.
MAOZ, yes, I have neighbors whose family had lived there for generations. Jews, of course
Batya, yes I hear you. I was getting into the anger and (my own sarcasm)....in reaction to the ridiculousness of the situation... Yasher Koach for getting the word out.
Leah, sarcasm doesn't work in writing.
I don't know about that. It seems to work very well for "Sultan Knish"- Daniel Greenfield very nicely. I think you tell it like it is and I enjoy reading your blog.
oops, Batya, I signed in under my daughter's name (humma monster), yet it's me, Leah.
Leah, after decades dealing with journalists as a Shiloh resident, I constantly remind people that sarcasm can easily backfire and only works with those of the same opinion.
That's why I "tell it like it is." thanks
Yes, I hear you. You had provided a safe place for me to vent - just a little, yet I agree with you....
OK, nechama, I understand
