Netanyahu: There is no moral symmetry or equivalence between Israel and the terrorists in Gaza

Netanyahu lays out his case for engaging the terrorists in the Gaza, primarily to explain to the world that there is no moral equivalence between the terrorists in Gaza and Israel. Personally, I think it’s a shame that he even needs to explain it.

Watch:

Now it looks like Israel is preparing a ground invasion as they have moved troops to the border:

AP – Palestinian militants barraged Israel with more than 200 rockets on Thursday, killing three people as Israel pressed a punishing campaign of airstrikes on militant targets across the Gaza Strip. Three rockets targeted the densely populated Tel Aviv area, setting off air raid sirens in brazen attacks that threatened to trigger an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.

Late in the day, Israel signaled a ground operation may be imminent as forces moved toward the border area with Gaza. At least 12 trucks were seen transporting tanks and armored personnel carriers, and a number of buses carrying soldiers arrived. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he had authorized the army to call-up additional reservists for possible action. The army said it was prepared to draft up to 30,000 additional troops.

“I ordered the military today to widen the draft of reserve soldiers in order to be able to be ready for any development,” Barak said. Military officials said the moves were to prepare for the possibility of a ground invasion, but stressed no decision had been made. Israel TV stations, however, said a ground offensive was expected Friday.
