Gaza Rocket Strike Prompts Heavy Israeli Response

Killing the spirit of Annapolis, that's a new wrinkle in the arsenal of Palestinian propaganda.

Look, no kassams and no Grads, no suicide bombing attempts, and no rock and Molotov throwinng, no ambushes of innocent hikers, no need for any Israeli reprisals.

That fence that Israel has partially constructed would be unnecessary if the Arabs-Palestinians were not attempting at every opportunity to kill or wound Israeli Jews.

Me thinks that if the Palestinians are so concerned about the "Spirit", they should get those 3 Israeli boys held captive for over a year now released to their families, and minimally allow the Red Cross to visit them, partly to ascertain if they are still alive, or being held in freezers?

When Hamas refuses to recognize Israel's very existence, advocates violence (they call it resistance), and incites their students to blow themselves up in Jewish restaurants and Passover services, and released Fatah terrorists ambush and slay at point blank range 2 hikers, who is really violating the spirit of Annapolis?

Again, the Arabs beg the question as to Israel's reactions. Israel's problem is it's still too timid and more concerned about our (Condi-Bush) defeatist policy of 2 states living side by side, then the reality on the ground. Israel wants to build 300 apartment units and is denied same, while it is being forced to give thousands of weapons and APC to it's enemies. Something is awfully screwed up here.
