Israeli leaders are warning of an imminent conflagration in Gaza after Palestinian militants aimed rockets at the southern city of Ashkelon.  The deputy defence mister said the stepped-up rocket fire would trigger what he called a "bigger holocaust" in the Hamas-controlled coastal strip.  Israeli air strikes have killed about 30 Palestinians, including six children in the past two days.  Israel has activated its early warning system in Ashkelon for the first time.  One rocket hit a block of flats in the city of 120,000 inhabitants about 10km (six miles) north of the Gaza Strip breaking through the roof and slicing through three floors below.  No-one was injured, but another rocket landed near a school, wounding a 17-year-old girl.  "The more [rocket] fire intensifies and the rockets reach a longer range, they (the Palestinians) will bring upon themselves a bigger holocaust because we will use all our might to defend ourselves," Matan Vilnai told Israeli army radio.  Correspondents say the "holocaust" is a term rarely used in Israel outside discussions of the Nazi genocide during World War II.

Don't say NYC pls.

But seriously...  Despite that guy's awful wording, my sympathy for the Palestinians is limited.  Then again, so is my sympathy for the Israelis.

Well, Palestine is close enough to a concentration camp... Boy am I glad I was born in Switzerland.

If it really was, they'd have long since been gassed en masse.

I'd hate to bear the stigma of antisemitism, but I got to say that throughout history, the Jews have had a bit of a rough time merging with other cultures.

Agreed, they both are the problem...and will ultimately be the only solution.
