Time for an imminent stand (UPDATE)

In the wake of Islamic Jihad bragging that their weapons are being supplied by Iran, the Israeli Defense Force struck a Hamas propagandist media centre for the second time, killing yet another terrorist leader, Islamic Jihad's Ramez Harb, a key figure in the Al Quds Brigades.

With Hamas continuously launching rockets haphazardly into southern Israeli cities however, Israel's defense minister hinted Sunday that a ground assault on Hamas in Gaza is imminent.

Now in D.C., we've still got foolery going on with the likes of McRINO wanting to send BJ over to lead negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians (back at it so quickly, are we John?)...as if the Oslo Accord between Israel and the PLO was such a resounding success (remember that handshake between Arafat & Rabin, with Clinton's arms outstretched between the two? The optics.).

No, this time, I think Ariel Sharon's son shares the sentiment of many frustrated Israelis...Gilad Sharon says that a decisive conclusion is necessary: "There is no middle path here – either the Gazans and their infrastructure are made to pay the price, or we reoccupy the entire Gaza Strip." Here's the line that catching all the flak from the anti-semitic liberal media, sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, regardless of their terrorist ties, of course...

"We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza."

As WeaselZippers so elegantly lays out, "Of course libs will feign outrage over this, but the truth is we would flatten any country that indiscriminately lobbed rockets at our cities."

It's time for Israel to take a stand and finish this, preferably with America's support.

UPDATE: via theRightScoop, Levin voices a shared disappointment in Netanyahu caving to outside pressure (vis-à-vis, Obama) in the acceptance of a cease-fire, and thus the upperhand against these terrorist forces. He also expands on the dire consequences facing the entire region.
