Due to Hamas being in control, I think a terrorist attack can be declared as war, as we all know Hamas is in effect, a terrorist organisation. I doubt carpet bombing will be implemented but if necessery to their cause I fully back such devices. I may seem extreme but 'Israel' is not what they are fighting for, they are fighting against Israel showing their prejudices and using Israel as a vice to justify their terrorist actions. In short, i'm fully fully behind Israel and the actions they choose to resolve this horrible situation.

it cant be both, it it wants to be a terrorist group, then palastine is buggered as israel will cut off all trade and movement, the west will stop all aide, and the people will suffer the most. or it can lay down it's ak's and decide that they can have their own state, israel isnt gonna suddenly say, ok you win, we will all pack and leave the area. they have to live 2gther somehow.

I see the IDF targeted a Palestinian power plant. That is a direct contravention of the Geneva Convention. Targets that disproportionally affect civilans are out of bounds when it comes to the Geneva Conventions. Yet another entry in the long list of breaches to international law carried out by Israel.

I was always under the impression all power in Palestine originated from Israel's power plants and then India?
Israeli warplanes fired at least nine missiles at Gaza's only power station, cutting electricity to 65 percent of the Gaza Strip, engineers at the station said. The station's three functioning turbines and a gasoline reservoir were engulfed in flames, raising the specter of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where water pumps are powered by electricity.

As far as the Palestinians are concerned, NUKE 'EM. Drive 'em all out of Palestine and put 'em on a deserted Island to fend for themselves. They claimed it first- history backs that claim. Let the Palestinians go to Saudi Arabia or something.

some of the comments here far supercede any kind of hatred many alleged terrorists are accused of.
Now if we follow advice such as that given by Wisconsin here, we would have actions even worse than the NAZIS.
They have cut off all land and sea travel routes. There is absolutley no food coming in now. No clothes, no medicine, no people except the army

The Zionists hung British servicemen. I can't remember any Palestin ians executing non Israelis
So if Mexico invaded California whilst the UN did nothing that there wouldn't be a segment of the US population resorting to "terrorist" methods

I'm sure we all know 'Israel' was a wasteland before the Jews moved in, colonised the area, built it up into a thriving land and then the Palestinians claim they want it all back!
Until the last Jew has moved from Israel the 'war' will continue.

As for carpet bombing the gaza strip,
Complicating matters was a new claim by the Hamas-linked Popular Resistance Committees, one of the three groups that carried out Sunday's assault, that it had also kidnapped a Jewish settler, 18-year-old Eliahu Asheri, in the West Bank.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the report was being taken "very seriously."
At a news conference at a Gaza City mosque on Wednesday, PRC militants displayed what they said was a copy of Asheri's identification card, and reiterated threats to kill him if Israel did not end its Gaza invasion.

So is sending suicide bombers to blow up civilians, or kidnapping and summarily executing soldiers.

Israel turned up the pressure on Palestinian militants to release a captive soldier Wednesday, sending its warplanes to bomb a Hamas training camp after knocking out electricity and water supplies for most of the 1.3 million residents of the Gaza Strip.

About 72% of the fat free mass of the human body is made of water. To function properly the body requires between one and seven litres of water per day to avoid dehydration, the precise amount depending on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors.
Israeli forces push into Gaza
GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli tanks backed by helicopter gunships and artillery pushed into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, stepping up pressure on Palestinian militants to release an abducted soldier.

recognized country to stoop to the level of terrorist organisations and target civilians is unacceptable.
Terrorists organisations are banned specifically because of their tactics, when a full blown nation does the same what does that say?
If you accept the practices of Israel then you cannot rebuke Qassam, Hamas, Al-Qaeda etc regarding their tactics. Well you can but you'd be a hypocrite.

Another group threatened to kill a Jewish settler it said it seized in the West Bank if Israel continued the raid. Israeli authorities said the settler has been missing since Sunday.

Nydgen, we'd not accept the Government of the U.S. to invade Mexico, Canada, Britain, Spain, etc, because someone has been kidnapped.
There actions, will result in the deaths of many innocent people
Sorry, but children should be punished for the actions of adults?
That's civilisation? That's what we want to achieve?

So then you have no problem with the terrorist attacks?
If it is fine for the Israeli Military and Government to take over land as they see fit,
if it is a "part of war" where innocent people are killed than it is the same for both?

While the Warsaw Ghetto was fighting for its life, the world had called another conference. They met in Bermuda and, again, absolutely nothing was done to help.
Unfortunately that is exactly what is happening now. The word will hold its meetings, and the West will simply let Gaza be destroyed. Much like they let Warsaw get taken.
Now if we follow advice such as that given by Wisconsin here, we would have actions even worse than the NAZIS.

So, a group of terrorists kidnap someone and Israel decides:
Let's cut off power and water. Let's punish innocent people and children...
But who cares? It's only some Muslim children starving.

You have NO CLUE as to horror and barbaracy forced upon the Jews in the Holocaust. To describe the loss of electricity and potential re-occupation of Gaza as anything near the Holocaust shows just how little you understand of history- or just how anti-semetic you are.
