    None of them have broken the Palestinians in Gaza even though they have used illegal weaponry such as white phosphorus and dum dum bullets, apart from their illegal aerial bombing of civilians and the infrastructure (as poor as it is) over decades.

    'Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said Israel would likely be forced to go to war in Gaza in the near future following spiraling tensions on the southern front in recent weeks.

    “There probably won’t be a choice but to launch an operation, a war with the terror forces in Gaza,” the prime minister said in a radio interview with the Kan public broadcaster, kicking off a media blitz five days before the national elections.

    “There probably won’t be a choice but to topple the Hamas regime. Hamas doesn’t exert its sovereignty in the Strip and doesn’t prevent attacks.'

    Electioneering of course.

    * Olmert, now 75. 'After serving as PM he was sentenced to serve a prison term over convictions for accepting bribes and for obstruction of justice during his terms as mayor of Jerusalem and as trade minister.' So corrupt. He seems to have evaded the prison sentence for much of the time.

    He also waged war on Lebanon and attacked Syria for good measure. A national hero no doubt.

    He recently cancelled a visit to Switzerland for fear of arrest so confined to barracks, Ehud.
