The Reason for the Israeli Attack on Gaza

      I believe Israel unfairly receives bad press so I am posting a portion of an article and a link to the rest of it from the Israeli point of view for all who are interested in hearing the other side.  It is from Israel Today/Israel News.  Why people are so quick to defend the Arab countries when it is apparent they are the aggressors is beyond me.  And then Israel is criticized for defending herself!


Why Israel Attacked a Densely-Populated Gaza Neighborhood

Monday, July 21, 2014 |  Ryan Jones
    More than two weeks into the current Gaza war, Israel on Sunday suffered its first bout of serious international condemnation after a day of bloody fighting that left dead 13 Israeli soldiers and at least 70 Palestinians.
If Palestinian estimates are to be believed, the bulk of their dead were civilians, residents of the battered Gaza City suburb of Shejaiya.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon labeled the Israeli operation “an atrocious action,” and US Secretary of State John Kerry sarcastically quipped, “It’s a hell of a pinpoint operation.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, explained that the assault on Shejaiya was absolutely necessary, given that the neighborhood had been used to launch some 150 missile attacks on the Jewish state over the past week, and that it continued to house a sizable arsenal of projectiles.
Situated less than a mile from Gaza’s border with southern Israel, Shejaiya was described by Israeli troops operating there as a vast Hamas stronghold, with a huge network of terror tunnels used to store missiles and infiltrate southern Israel.
Netanyahu said this was a strategic threat that simply had to be dealt with. Addressing a press conference in which he confirmed the deaths of 13 Israeli soldiers during the fighting in Shejaiya, the prime minister stated:
“Last night ’s action revealed more tunnels, in addition to others that we already uncovered, some of which reached Israel. We found handcuffs, sedating drugs. There is no question this is a strategic component for Hamas. …If these tunnels were not found, then the results would have been a lot worse.”
As for the high number of Palestinian deaths, Netanyahu stressed that Israel had very clearly warned the residents of Shejaiya to evacuate days before the assault.

Word For Today

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6

About Me

Country Girl
My name is Brenda. I love Jesus and it's my hope and desire that if you don't already, you will come to love Him, too. He is altogether lovely and always good! He loves you more than you could imagine, and He has great plans for your life. Just ask Him.
After 30+ years of living in Omaha, Nebraska, Country Guy and I returned to our roots in Illinois where we built a house in the woods on land once owned by Country Guy's great grandfather. We added a barn, a chicken house complete with chickens, and fenced pasture for our 5 beautiful quarter horses. We enjoy sharing these blessings with our family, friends, and guests who visit us from all over the world.
Our immediate family includes 3 wonderful children and their spouses, and 7 equally wonderful grandchildren.
I started this blog as a place to keep and to share my favorite things. In the process of discovering the potential of blogging I've also found it to be a great way to get the word out about news & ideas that are unpopular in today's media.
I pray that you, too, will find treasures here to keep, or share with others, and ideas to stimulate your thinking. Nothing would please me more.
