Hamas weapons maker killed in Israeli attack

CNN:

A senior Hamas member was killed during Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, Hamas security forces said Saturday.

An airstrike in central Gaza killed Saed Al Bitran, who was responsible for manufacturing weapons, the Hamas forces said.

The Israel Defense Forces said the attack on a weapons-manufacturing site in central Gaza was part of a series of strikes starting late Friday in response to a rocket assault on Ashkelon earlier in the day.

The strikes also targeted two other locations in Gaza: a Hamas "terror-activity site" in the north and a weapons-smuggling tunnel in Rafah, Israeli forces said.

...

The coastal Israeli city of Ashkelon was hit by a rocket fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza early Friday, causing minor damage but no injuries, an Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman said.

Ashkelon, with a population of approximately 125,000 residents, is about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the Israel-Gaza border and has been the target of many rockets originating from Gaza -- some wounding residents.

The violence occurred after a glimmer of progress in the Mideast peace process on Thursday. That's when the Arab League gave the Palestinian Authority the green light for direct talks with Israel.

...
That probably explains why Hamas permitted the attack. the last thing it wants is an agreement with the Israelis. When President Bush sent envoys to promote peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians they were always greeted with exploding Palestinians young people hoping to kill Israelis.

Why Hamas and Gaza have gotten so much sympathy lately is a mystery to me. It is still an area controlled by a death cult. It is an intolerant apartheid society that wanted all Israelis removed from Gaza. In fact, they want all Israelis removed from Israel.

    I don't understand how anyone can sympathize with Hamas. Or even Gazans for that matter since they built a shopping mall.

    Cool post.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
