Hamas Wants War? Who'd A Thunk It?!

clipped from www.captainsquartersblog.com Israel has declared Hamas-run Gaza as a "hostile entity," a move that allows Israel to consider ending supplies of water and electricity to the region. Hamas objected to the designation, calling it an act of war, which never seemed to bother them while they called for Israel's destruction: The Israeli government has declared the Gaza Strip a "hostile entity" in response to the continued rocket attacks by Palestinian militants there. The Israeli decision could lead to Israel cutting off vital water, fuel or electricity supplies to the territory. ... Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office said his security cabinet had approved the "hostile entity" classification at a meeting on Wednesday morning. Under any rational analysis, these are acts of war and hostility towards Israel. The Israelis have shown remarkable patience in waiting this long to recognize the obvious -- that Hamas wants war.
