Who started this war? Remember the family killed on the beach in Gaza before the attack on the Israeli Army Outpost?

Leaving the Truth Buried in Gaza's Sands

the [Israeli] Supreme Court ordered the army and Ministry of Defence to pull down several kilometres of the steel and concrete barrier they have erected on Palestinian land in the West Bank after it was proved that the security considerations behind the choice of the wall's route were entirely bogus. Official documents reveal that the wall was located there to allow for the future expansion of nearly illegal Jewish settlements on yet more Palestinian land. The army and government concocted the fib and then stuck to it for more than two years. Chief Justice Aharaon Barak called their systematic lying "a grave phenomenon".
http://www.countercurrents.org/... quotes cook:
Just after the Israeli army murdered an entire family (the Ghalia's family) and wounded many more Palestinians while picnicking on a northern Gaza beach, the BBC was the first Western media to defend Israel and volunteered to cover-up Israel's crimes. The BBC went along to unchallenged the Israeli lies, and happily repeated the Israeli army (Israeli occupation forces [IOF]) claims that Israel is an innocent bystander. The BBC version was that; "Israel is not responsible for a blast that killed an entire Palestinian family enjoying a picnic on a Gaza beach last Friday, Defence Minister Amir Peretz says". The BBC deliberately ignored hard evidence - Palestinian eyewitnesses, hospital records, the U.S.-based Human Right Watch (HRW) and even Israelis - that refuted the Israeli military version of events.
The Nazareth-based British writer and journalist, Jonathan Cook wrote that the BBC "credulously reports preposterous arguments seeking to exonerate the Israeli army of responsibility for the shelling of the beach in Gaza that killed a Palestinian family of seven. It treats as equally credible the army's belated version in which Palestinian militants are said to have laid a single mine at a favourite seaside picnic spot in the futile hope of preventing the Israeli navy landing along the [Gaza] Strip's miles of coastline".

Want world peace? Eradicate Islamic terrorists!
Doug Hagin - July 18, 2006
...The truth is recent events in Israel illustrate just how imperative it is for Israel, the United States, as well as Great Britain, Australia, and every other nation that embraces human rights and human liberty to make a very harsh decision. It is the time for the free world to decide that the threat presented by the terrorist Islamic fanatics is real and must be eliminated!
Note, it must be eliminated not appeased, or bargained with. It must be exterminated not appeased or bargained with. It must meet with eradication, not restraint! Restraint, of course is the new buzzword of those foolish enough to dream diplomacy or negotiation can somehow end the threat of Islamic Jihadists. Restraint will not insure peace. It will only serve to give the Jihadists more opportunities to commit acts of terror. There will be peace when, and ONLY when, Islamic terrorists have been totally and completely defeated with unmatchable and unforgiving military might!
Again, this is harsh language, but it is language the world needs to hear and heed. The United Nations and much of the world need to hear it desperately apparently. It is the United Nations types who are crying for Israel to use restraint when they retaliate against Hamas and Hezbollah, for recent attacks by those terror groups on Israel. Excuse me but restraint? Has restraint ever worked for Israel? How many times have they shown restraint and been rewarded by more homicide bombers?
Terrorists do not use restraint, if they could kill Israel to the last child they would. They would happily do the same to Canada, England, America, and every other nation that does not wish to submit to their evil fanaticism. It is frankly well past time the free world accepted that terrorism is as evil as Hitler's Nazi Germany was. We are now on the road towards a global war, which will cost many lives. The question is not if anymore. It is indeed merely a question of when.
The matter of when is in our hands not the terrorist. We can, on one hand, opt to wait and fool ourselves that diplomacy and restraint will somehow work where they have failed over and again. Will such a course prevent war? Will it prevent Iran or Syria, from one day arming themselves, Al Qaeda, Hamas, or Hezbollah with a nuclear weapon? Will it prevent one of these fanatical groups from using that nuclear device to murder hundreds of thousands? Only the fools at the United Nations can believe restraint would suddenly succeed after failing every other time it has been tried.
If we again foolishly invest our hope in restraint, we will one day be greeted by a mushroom cloud over Tokyo, or London, or Madrid, or Chicago, or Toronto or some other city of innocent civilians. That will happen if we follow the path of restraint. Terrorists always, always, always meet our restraint with brutality and barbarity. Crossing our fingers and listening to intellectual midgets like Kofi Anan will get us nowhere and in the end will only cost more lives. The path of restraint will not deter a worldwide war, it will only delay it. Did we learn nothing from the failed appeasement of Hitler before the WW II?
So if restraint is not the path what should be? Well let us look at what Israel has sworn to do to Hezbollah and Hamas. Instead of listening to foolish world opinion of the need for restraint, Israeli leader Ehud Olmert has declared his intent to eliminate these two terror groups. "We stand at a national moment of truth. Will we agree to live under this evil threat or will we fight. ... There is no more just struggle than that we are now engaged in," Olmert said, according to Israel National News.
"Citizens of Israel, there are moments in the life of a nation, when it is compelled to look directly into the face of reality and say: Enough," he said.
"And I say to everyone: Enough is enough. Israel will not be held hostage -- not by terror gangs or by a terrorist authority or by any sovereign state."
"There is nothing we want more than peace on all of our borders; Israel will not agree to live with rockets fired on its citizens. Only a nation that can protect its freedom deserves it."
Isn't an eye for an eye a limit?

Israeli air strikes killed 42 people across Lebanon today, including 10 civilians hit on a southern bridge.
It was the sixth day of a bombardment that has wreaked the heaviest destruction in Lebanon for over 20 years.
Rescuers also pulled nine bodies from the wreckage of a building in the southern city of Tyre that was bombed on Sunday, raising the death toll since Israel's offensive began to 204, all but 14 of them civilians.
