Violence explodes on the Gaza strip.

Israeli troops rounded up dozens of ministers and lawmakers from the Palestinians’ ruling Hamas party Thursday while forging ahead with a military campaign in Gaza meant to win the release of an Israeli soldier held by Hamas gunmen.

The body of a kidnapped 18-year-old Jewish settler who was shot in the head was found in the West Bank, Israeli security officials said. Palestinian militants said they killed Eliahu Asheri, whose body was found buried near the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Israeli aircraft hit a car carrying Palestinian militants in Gaza City, the Israeli military said. One person was wounded, hospital officials said.

This is just another by-product of our invasion of Iraq. We have essentially destabilized a very delicate situation and allowed the problems in the middle east to get out of control.

And the reason that Bush has never tried to broker a peace between Israel and the Palestinians is that he believes that their inevitable war is another sign that Jesus is coming soon. Why would our Evangelical-in-Chief want to slow that process down?
