Finally, even Olmert and the peaceniks could take it no more. After countless Palestinian terror and rocket attacks, Israel has at last undertaken some offensive measures, striking Hamas in Gaza primarily through aerial attacks. According to the IDF, the strikes will continue until the terrorists release kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
This is certainly a good start, but Israel needs to continue the assault far beyond its stated objective. Of course Cpl. Shalit's safety is without question of the utmost importance, and we should steadfastly hope and pray for his quick return. But once this occurs, Israel mustn't relax its offensive and should instead continue to press against the terrorists with overwhelming force. These evil enemies of the Jewish state have repeatedly demonstrated their genocidal intentions, and clearly cannot be appeased by concessions and negotiations. Only utter defeat will stop them, and Israel must accomplish this immediately and overwhelmingly.
Other Israeli news:
One of the original investors in a Palestinian power plant destroyed in the recent Gaza operations was none other than disgraced U.S. company Enron. Even in the unlikeliest of ways, the Palestinian propensity for criminality still astounds.
Meanwhile, away from the conflict, Israel continues to be a hotbed of technology and innovation. Notably in recent days, software company Tuval Industries developed a program to simulate human speech in Microsoft Power Point presentations. Now just type in sentences and your slideshow can chatter away.
Also last night, two Israeli players were drafted into the NBA: Lior Eliyahu by the Orlando Magic (who subsequently traded him to the Houston Rockets) and Yotam Halperin by the Seattle Supersonics. No Israeli has ever played an NBA regular-season game (Doron Sheffer was drafted in the mid-Nineties, but opted to return to Israel), and it appears this will be a first in 2006.
