Israel attacks United States

By Jerry Ghinelli The government of Israel today launched a massive air assault on suspected terrorist targets along major coastal cities in the United States of America. In an operation termed “Friendly Enemy,” hundreds of Israeli F-16 fighter jets streaked across the Atlantic in precise formation and fired surgical air strikes at alleged terrorist strongholds in densely populated Muslim communities all along the northeast corridor of the United States. The American-made Lockheed Martin F-16 fighter jets then continued south, inflicting massive destruction in densely populated Muslim communities along many southeastern US states as well.

In Gaza today Israel is showing the same cowardly distain for life by conducting bombing sorties in largely civilian areas. This article has been recently updated by the author.)

digg story, submitted by brianboitono (Read this soon, because we weren't supposed to know about this, and it will probably be pulled from the blogs...) The truth is, though this story was satire, there are points to it that I do not agree with. In fact, I totally disagree with the author, or editor. In the Editor's Note above, it is stated that Israel is showing "cowardly distain for life by conducting bombing sorties in largely civilian areas," and supposedly are conducting "indiscriminate bombing," killing and maiming innocent civilians. The problem that I find with that, is that it is not true. In fact, I have to believe that the story is blatant Hamas propaganda! Hamas terrorists, first of all, use women and children as human shields, and make it a point to hide in heavily populated areas. And the reason Israel is attacking them is because since 2005, Hamas has fired 6,000 rockets indiscriminately into Israeli communities, killing and wounding Israeli civilians - including women and children. The U.N. wants Israel to stop the fighting, and using "disproportionate" force. Why didn't the U.N. ever condemn the Hamas terrorists for their rocket attacks at Israeli non-military targets?
