Israel's Forces are Massing in the East.

Israel is bringing tanks to the eastern border of Gaza and are calling reservist troops to prepare for a possible ground invasion of Gaza. Israel's foreign minister said the goal was to halt Gaza rocket fire on Israel for good, but not to reoccupy the territory.

In response to this, Syria has cut off peace-talks with Israel and much of the non-Arab world with the exception of the US, are asking Israel to show restraint and are stopping just short of condemning Israel's actions. Strangely, most of the European Union nations are NOT also condemning Hamas' bombing of Israel. In an interesting side-note, Hamas leaders have already fled Gaza and are hiding out elsewhere.

Anti-semitism is on the rise and I'm so afraid that the new administration will alter the US-Israeli relationship that has been in place almost since Israel was formed. We are big trouble if the relationship is changed.
