(Reply) Marnoff: The best time to plant an oak tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now. Welcome to the fanclub, listening to his music is a rewarding experience, and you've only begun to discover.

There's a war outside and i wonder when i can play my games

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israeli ground troops and tanks cut swaths through the Gaza Strip early Sunday, bisecting the coastal territory and surrounding its biggest city as the new phase of a devastating offensive against Hamas gained momentum.

Thousands of soldiers in three brigade-size formations pushed into Gaza after nightfall Saturday, beginning a long-awaited ground offensive after a week of intense aerial bombardment. Black smoke billowed over Gaza City at first light and bursts of machine gun fire rang out.

TV footage showed Israeli troops with night-vision goggles and camouflage face paint marching in single file. Artillery barrages preceded their advance, and they moved through fields and orchards following bomb-sniffing dogs ensuring their routes had not been booby-trapped.

The military said troops killed or wounded dozens of militant fighters, but Palestinian medical teams in Gaza, unable to move because of the fighting, could not provide accurate casualty figures.

Hamas said only four fighters had been killed. Gaza health officials said around 20 civilians had also died in airstrikes and shelling. They included a 12-year-old girl, five members of the same family and another eight civilians killed by a tank shell in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya.


500 Palestinians killed
The new deaths brought the toll in the Gaza Strip since Saturday to more than 500. Palestinian and U.N. officials say at least 100 civilians are among the dead.

Army ambulances were seen bringing Israeli wounded to a hospital in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba. The military reported 30 Israeli troops were wounded, two seriously, in the opening hours of the offensive.

In his first public comments since the ground operation was launched, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told his Cabinet on Sunday that Israel could not allow its civilians to continue to be targeted by rockets from Gaza.

"This morning I can look every one you in the eyes and say the government did everything before deciding to go ahead with the operation," he said.

A senior military officer said Hamas was well-prepared for the Israeli incursion into Gaza, a densely populated territory of 1.4 million where militants operate and easily hide in the crowded urban landscape. He said the operation was "not a rapid one that would end in hours or a few days."

Still, he said, "We have no intention of staying in the Gaza Strip for the long term." He spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with army regulations.

Israel says the objective is to restore quiet to Israel's south, not to topple Hamas or reoccupy Gaza.

'Graveyard' for Israeli forces
Hamas threatened to turn Gaza into a "graveyard" for Israeli forces. You entered like rats," Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan told Israeli soldiers in a statement on Hamas' Al Aqsa TV. "Gaza will be a graveyard for you, God willing."

The ground operation is the second phase in an offensive that began as a weeklong aerial onslaught aimed at halting Hamas rocket fire that has reached deeper and deeper into Israel, threatening major cities and one-eighth of Israel's population.

Rocket fire has persisted, however, and several rockets fell in Israel on Sunday morning, causing no casualties. In much of southern Israel school has been canceled and life has been largely paralyzed.

While the air offensive presented little risk for Israel's army, sending in ground troops is a much more dangerous proposition. Hamas is believed to have some 20,000 gunman who know the dense urban landscape intimately. For months, Israeli leaders had resisted a ground invasion, fearing heavy casualties.

Israel also has called up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers, which defense officials said could enable a far broader ground offensive as the operation's third phase. The troops could also be used in the event Palestinian militants in the West Bank or Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon decide to launch attacks. Hezbollah opened a war against Israel in 2006 when it was in the midst of a large operation in Gaza.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the military's preparations are classified.

oh god.and can you believe some of them want to play the numbers game? I heard some minister of Israel talk about 30 rockets for the hundreds that the israels shot at the palestines.450 people wounded and a computer game means more to me than that.

Honestly sometimes, i wonder why even bother. Cause once you start to have a desire for a cause say human rights,then someone comes along and says
'hey don't you care about nature? is'nt nature important too?'

so you say hey why not,it's a good cause.

then
'hey what about foreign workers?'

then you say ok, i hear you, makes more good points,read about it.

'animal rights versus food production for the world'
'burma'
'the occupation of iraq by american forces'
'woman rights'
'racial matters'

then it becomes a chore,cause you realise that jesus christ. There is so much wrong in this world and where the hell can i start.Jesus christ.jesus christ.

i realise it's a long way i've got to go and hey i'm not likely to do anything great.i've got a too short attention span and i'm not dedicated enough to see it through. But it doesn't hurt to try. It doesn't hurt to try to take a stand and try to understand what's going on.

It doesn't hurt to try to make a difference.

In all honesty,i feel the same way about the palestine israel conflict as i did about the burma's monks revolt.Nothing. I feel more concerned about nature than i do about people dying. It makes me feel guilty like now,that i care about the soil and the grass more than kids being killed.But i can't live my life as a guilt trip. I feel for the palestinians children but you can't expect me to be concerned about them all the time. You mean I can't enjoy my slurpee without thinking about the children in africa who doesn't have enough to eat?

god i sound like such a fucking prick.an atas prick.

jesus christ.

It doesn't hurt to try to make a difference.
It doesn't hurt to try to make a difference.
It doesn't hurt
Try to make a difference
Try
Make a difference.

It looks to different when you break down

Micah 6:8
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
