Palestine Attacking Isreal Now.

As Obama took the stage in Chicago to thank his supporters, Sky News in the UK was reporting that Palestine had launched rocket attacks on Isreal.

So, is this a message to Obama to beware the Middle East or is it the start of something bigger?

Is this the first test for Obama?

Oh sh*it...

This may be very serious.

Erm... I'm gonna scour for links now...

Urm, if we wanted to connect rocket launches in the middle east to events in the rest of the world...

you'd be busy for years

If they are, it's in retaliation for this, which happened a couple of hours ago:
edition.cnn.com...

Four were killed in the airstrike, which occurred east of Khan Younis, Palestinian sources said. They said a drone and an apache helicopter could be seen. Earlier fighting between Hamas militants and Israel Defense Forces killed one militant and injured three, bringing the total death toll to 5. The fighting occurred after dark when Israeli troops entered the eastern part of the Dir Albalah refugee camp in central Gaza, Palestinian sources said.

It has begun.............................. time will tell the story.

Can you find any links to the story? Palestinian attacks aren't exactly a rare occurrence. I don't think that this is related to Obama though.

I think it is significant that these attacks were timed almost to the the second though. There is some kind of warning here i think. Either that or Palestine hopes to inflict maximum damage under cover of the election results.

Are you sure u didn't get this backwards?

It's a retaliation.

Israel launched air strikes a few hours ago. CNN and reuters both reported it.

It's no laughing matter I suppose, but... lol Imagine if the things some of the Anti Obamites said about the guy actually turned out to be true???

I just make jokes because

i don't think anything has to do with Obama results as far as this goes

Well i've been to Canada and you need to keep an eye on those canadians...lol...(just kidding).

Seriously though, Sky in the UK are reporting further attacks.

Israel has always done whatever it wanted. It's been quiet there for a month +- now it's back to what it was. It's unrelated to the US presidential race. The tunnel in Gaza was built to supposedly kidnap Israeli soldiers...C'MON...food shortages, a lack of clean potable water, shortages of fuel to burn and heat homes or to cook with....

I'm sure those unfortunate enough to live in Gaza are highly amused that they are being accused of perpetrating the kidnap of Israelis as opposed to using the tunnel to move basic necessities for LIFE. Perhaps the occasional Soldier to torment but over all I doubt that was the ONLY reason the tunnel was built.

The people of Gaza have often burrowed into Israel territory to get basic needs and goods to survive.

Israel is always looking for a reasons to push them farther into oblivion.

Has anyone ever bothered to investigate the conditions in Gaza? Why would they waste so much energy building a damn tunnel to abduct Israeli soldiers? They can't eat em, can't use em for fuel and realistically they would have to know that Israel would bomb the be jeezzuz out of them.

This will continue as it has for the past 20+ years and Israel will never be held accountable for it. They are immune.

Maybe its Israel shooting rockets at itself, to try and push Obama into a anti-palestinian state of mind?

I wouldnt put it passed them.

Still, the timing does have to do with the Obama victory, one way or another.

Maybe, maybe a couple of Palestinians that have rocket launchers ran outside and shot them off like idiots shoot guns in the air on the 4th of july in the states...

You now sure, maybe

but, some organized assault, I doubt it, could be wrong... people are freaks, but I doubt it
