    @JonathanInTelAviv and the Holocaust in Gaza

    Jonathan,

    Would you care to enlighten us how you feel about the most horrendous form of collective punishment being administered to Gaza's civilians (all this in response to home made rocket that have killed 20 people over 8 years!)?

    "The more Qassam [rocket] fire intensifies and the rockets reach a longer range, they will bring upon themselves a bigger shoah [Holocaust] because we will use all our might to defend ourselves," Matan Vilnai, Israel's deputy defence minister, told army radio."
