— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuffed international calls for a ceasefire while defending his country’s offensive in Gaza during appearances on U.S. television on Sunday.

Netanyahu appealed for sympathy for Israelis under siege from militant rockets as a warning siren followed by an all-clear signal punctuated his interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“When we began this interview we were under bomb alert and as the minutes passed now we’re told people can go out into the open air again,” he said.

“This is the kind of reality we’re living in. And we’ll do whatever is necessary to put an end to it,” he said, referring to the escalating violence between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist movement that rules Gaza.

3. There is a lot of wrong on both sides but I can't see a change until either

6. I like how the Isrealis are counting the number of Palestinian rockets and not the number of Isreali

casualties because there are so few. This current skirmish from the Israeli point of view really is like shooting fish in a barrel. I mean can they stop now 1,000 casualties is more than enough revenge for 3 dead Israeli kids.
