Mayor Bloomberg angrily defended Israel's missile barrage on the Gaza Strip Tuesday after an Israeli diplomat brought a shattered Hamas rocket to City Hall.

"There's no such thing as a measured response to terrorism - period," he said at a meeting with Asaf Shariv, Israel's consul general, who had just returned to the city from Israel.

They stood next to a homemade Hamas rocket, with four flanges at its base and metal peeled back from the tip, that had been recovered after landing without injuring anyone.

"This is what they usually fire at us," Shariv said. "Sometimes you have to say enough is enough. … If Hamas won't shoot rockets into Israel, we won't shoot."
Bloomberg said he was sensitive to the plight of Palestinians in New York whose families are in the line of fire in Gaza, but he said the blame for civilian deaths falls squarely on Hamas.

"If they choose to use humans as shields, sadly, those humans have a high probability of getting injured or killed," he said.

 

CONGRATULATIONS Mr  BLOOMBERG;

ALL INFANT TERRORISTS MUST BE SENT TO

PARADISE.
