Livni threatens of another Gaza war...Did the first one Fail?

‘Israel's' Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Wednesday warned that "Israel" would launch another military "operation" in Gaza if the alleged smuggling of arms from Iran to the territory's Hamas rulers continues.

"If the weapons smuggling to Gaza continues ‘Israel' will have no other option than to initiate another defensive operation," she said.

"Israel" launched its largest-ever offensive against Gaza on Dec. 27, striking the Hamas-ruled territory from land, sea and air in a 22-day war that left more than 1,300 Palestinians dead.

The fighting came to a halt on Jan. 18 with "Israel" and Hamas declaring separate ceasefires that have since been strained by tit-for-tat Palestinian rocket attacks and "Israeli" air strikes on the impoverished territory.

Halting arms smuggling, which was declared by ‘Israeli' to be an objective of the war, was not stooped. Nor was the firing of Palestinian Qassams and grads onto the occupied Palestinian territories in the south.

Some see the ‘Israeli' insistence on the halting of rocket fire and arms smuggling an admittance of the failure of the objectives of Operation cast lead, which achieved nothing short of murdering hundreds of innocent Palestinian civilians.
