Shaheed fricasee tonight?

no thanks zombie, i'll stick to my usual pork chops tonight

It's the VW VANAGON SWARM!

YEEEAAAHHH!

Looks like quite a party! I think I will pass on the fricasee as well!

Oh, I do love a good car swarm.

There is a psychology to it that behooves the rest of us.

Who brought the marshellows?

Did they flip it over at some point? It seems to me that the van is right side up in two pictures but upside down in the middle one. 0.o?

What is a good guess as to the number of people inspecting the cars?

Oh, can I suggest S'mores?

* inspection in progress *

Abdul: Say, Mohammed, how's that car look?
Mohammed: Looks bad, maybe broken.
Abdul: Yeh. Probl'y Mossad!

The wire service stringers do their utmost to obscure the dogpile for martyr-bits, don't they?

What's with the guy in a white shirt running in the third picture?

I brought Champagne. Okay, not the good stuff, but still ...

Shit, there's a lot of people in Gaza, with nothing but time on their hands.

Well, OK, maybe a few martyr bits and pieces.

Car Swarms are the sh*t. Kinda makes me wish I was a Pali. I'm upset that I will never get the chance to gather around a destroyed vehicle with a bunch of friends to inspect it.

It actually the gathering of the 72 virgins promised each martyr. The aren't in heaven; they are still on earth. They aren't all young girls; some are old men. Guess another martyr lost out again.

Anyway, does anyone know and care to explain what this car swarming behaviour is all about?

I really can't figure out what they're trying to achieve.

My guess is that it's perceived as an act of defiance - "You tried to blow up Ahmed and yet he's still here! Fuck you Israel!".

Of course, to civilized people, it's a blood cult mob ritual that would make the ancient Mayans hang their heads in shame. Or we'd think that, if it was reported accurately... I had no idea they scavenge for body parts until somebody explained it in a thread here.

The bottom pic, with the running guy with his arms outstretched in front-"Look at my impression of Young Frankenstein! Arrggghhh I am the Monster!"

Palis and their strange behaviors. If i was in charge and being the cold hearted bastard i am, that crowd of extremely likely Jihadis would become a nice target for a cluster bomb.

That would not only eliminate the closely packed death lovers but would likley break them of that nasty habit of being wreckage ghouls.

I really wish they'd do the 'ole one two punch on these fine folks...
Take out the primary target and then follow on in about 30 mins with a little A-10 Warthog...

Ignore the ridiculous conclusions. The interesting part is what he says about curretn palestinian strategic thinking.

Israel should under no circumstances re-occupy.

Long distance, arms length weaponry only, screw the collateral damage - and, if you ask me, pulverize the fence twixt gaza and egypt. Let the fighting chase them into egypt.

I've always liked the A10 Warthog.
So ugly it's beautiful.
It looks like death.

OK Everyone -

What we are talking about, like it or NOT is the termination of HUMAN LIFE. It's always UGLY.
I think we can agree that the Israelis have been SELECTIVE in this regard.
Otherwise they would have taken Gaza back some months back.
The miserable part is this. Just for argument sake - imagine a neighbor who for no reason threatens your family. What do you do?
At first you try reason and accommodation. That doesn't work. NOW - what do you do?
That is the situation that Israel faces. I for one wish them luck. Tolerance and forbearance in today's world is apparently NOT in the cards.
Israel on its own would be much like the US or EU. The PA could have been so too. In the 1990's everyone wanted them to do that and would have paid premium prices for it to happen. The PA was like S. Africa after Mandela took over. They could have written their own ticket. Neither the PA or S. Africa has done as well as they could have, however, the powers that be in S. Africa for all of their faults appear to love their people and nation enough to keep it afloat.
The PA on the other hand was at first a KLEPTOCRACY and now a PROTO-MULLAHCRACY. I am at wits end except for the option of Israeli honor and survival. If anyone else has a better IDEA please advise.

-S-

When I lived in NYC there was a time I lived with creatures of the dark who acted in the same fashion. It took a heavy duty pesticide to finally rid myself of the problem.

This Swiss scientist develops swarming behavior software. Today, cockroaches and robots. Tomorrow, Hamas?

The Palestinians are and always have been TOOLS of the Arbists and Islamists.
That is why they never miss a photo op. They live for this.

I forgot just how much the car swarm defines the pali's victimhood-thingy.
And don't dare question their victimhood!

As Israel still fights to exist, while the leaders of the free world pile on Israel, we approach a date that should have settled it..and that should have had Jerusalem recognized as the eternal capital of Israel...as if it has to; it was given to the Jews by G-d. Move the consulate embassy, Mr. President, move from Tel Aviv...damn it. Prelude to the Six Days

There has hardly been a Middle East peace plan in the past 40 years -- including the current Saudi version -- that does not demand a return to the status quo of June 4, 1967. Why is that date so sacred? Because it was the day before the outbreak of the Six-Day War in which Israel scored one of the most stunning victories of the 20th century. The Arabs have spent four decades trying to undo its consequences.

In fact, the real anniversary should be now, three weeks earlier. On May 16, 1967, Egyptian President Gamal Nasser ordered the evacuation from the Sinai Peninsula of the U.N. buffer force that had kept Israel and Egypt at peace for 10 years. The United Nations complied, at which point Nasser imposed a naval blockade of Israel's only outlet to the south, the port of Eilat -- an open act of war.[...]

Re #51 Ploome

I really thnk that the problem is there is no difference. Fatah organized before Hamas and all those unemployed bozos signed on just for the job. If Hamas had been set up well before Fatah, the situation would be the reverse.
It's sort of a "Gee, Fritz, are you gong to join the SA or the SS?"
No real diffenrence, just a queston of who's signing the check.

#51 ploome hineni 5/18/2007

The question that many Palestinians are asking these days is: How come Fatah and the Palestinian security forces, which are loyal to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, are unable to defeat Hamas?

The question to the palestinians then is why did you vote for Hamas?

that second photo is beyond ridiculous

too bad they can't move that party to a kassam rocket launch site

Tolerance and forbearance in today's world is the problem. What we have is non-Muslims tolerating barbaric Muslim atrocities. What is needed is for the Muslims to accept non-Muslims. (Of course, this is contrary to Islam.)

To make fun of those who have been given nothing [spiritually] - is not right...especially when it is being made by those who have been given everthing [spiritually]

Here they would be institutionalized.

/definitely not your father's episode of CSI

Exactly what is it about these wingnuts that they swarm to things like this, followed by screams, gnashing of teeth, chest-beating, and so on? If the Israelis were THINKING, they'd put an extra 30-minute delayed warhead on their ordnance, and get a bunch of them at once.

You know, the balestinians look more and more inbred, each generation.

Is it just me, or do you all notice that the car swarms are populated by men, exclusively?

Over here, in the Civilized World our young men are looking to get hooked up with young women, or older women or any women, for that matter!

The thing about the fucking egyptians is that they let weaponry and explosives in to gaza, but don;t let the palestinians out into egypt.

Smudge the border between egypt and gaza, and cut water and/or electricity in to gaza from Israel even as she hits them with long distance weaponry. No re-occupation. Simply tremendous pressure for the egyptians who call themselves gaza palestinians to relocate back into egypt from whence their parents came.

The question that many Palestinians are asking these days is: how come so many cars these days are upside down?

Currently the advert next to pictures 1 and 2 is for Mitchum antipersperant and deodorant. Killer product placement.

...they're gathering around cars...

...but for once, they're not burning cars.

I think "The Swarm" is the Introductory Course given by Allah Motors

I think France should send all their burnt out vehicles to Gaza for inspection.

Oh please don't bury me, not in the cold cold ground...I'd rather have 'em blow me up and pass me all around...

Fucking Borg Fire Ants trying to figure out what stick stirred their mound.

HI,

Did anyone see Steve "I'm a good Jew" Erlanger's report in the NY Times? ([Link: www.nytimes.com...]

He is very careful to avoid any awkwardness over the targets hit (Schools, Synagogue, Homes).

I'm confused as to why the death of jew-hating MILITANTS is a bad thing.

Here's a wild idea for the Hamassholes: don't fire rockets into Israel, and you won't get blown to bits driving away from the launch site. DUH!

-jcr

Perfect follow-up strike target!

Seems to me that the likelihood is that there may not have been swarms of people hanging around the car at the time it was "hit".

But as the "news" does not refer to the injured or killed as anything other than random people, then the Swarms imply that they (the injured and dead with no portfolio) were just innocent bystanders. promoting the image Poor Palestinians. Bad Israel. Rather then Well done Israel you avoided all unnecessary death and injury.

On another point. Does anyone else notice how clean and tidy the area is. is there a meaning for this?

Build the wall taller and deeper and put a net over the whole thing. Just throw the food over the wall.

Oh I wouldn't bother with food.

Palestinians in general and Hamas specifically are one example of why VX gas can be effective in controlling a variety of blood sucking, garbage eating, feces smeared pests.

Is there a note or record somewhere of the first-ever car swarm? How/when/where did this delightful ritual get started?
Perhaps George Soros could dedicate $2.5 million to build a car swarm museum in Gaza. To get tourism going when the Palestinian state...

I find it hard to believe that every one of the deaths is an accident. I mean it's sort of hard to not notice a school in your way when shooting at terrorists, isn't it.
there's a big difference between you and me. I think that both sides are at foult when they kill innocents, but you blindly follow israel, believing that it can do no wrong, and that is what the biggest problem is. you should be able to criticize both sides, and condemn yours when it is at fault.

Need a delayed action second and third explosion to match the homicide bombers.

arabookworm,

# 113

"I find it hard to believe that every one of the deaths is an accident."

You are referring to deaths caused by Israel, and apparently referring to deaths of people near the targets engaged by Israel.

Why do you find it hard?

And are the deaths caused by the Kassams accidental? In a way I guess they are, since they can't be aimed at a target smaller than a square kilometer.

arabookworm,

I repeat, why do you find it hard to believe that all colateral damage by Israelis is accidental?

Israel has a lot of firepower, and could kill thousands a day.

When your side fires a indiscriminate weapon into Israel, would it not be fair for Israel to do the same? Yet Israel does not. It fires upon the perps of indicriminate death.

And you see no difference.

Why do you see no difference?

#118 arabookworm

there's a big difference between you and me. I think that both sides are at foult when they kill innocents, but you blindly follow israel, believing that it can do no wrong

Umm no. Israel is doing PLENTY wrong. Such as:
-not officially recognizing the Armenian Holocaust, possibly the greatest atrocity ever committed by Muslims
-not bombing Iran's nuke complex at Natanz
-dismantling settlements
-not transferring the Palestinians
-not building a taller fence
-being so damned afraid of offending people like you

These car swarms always remind me of:

flies on shit
ants on shit
beetles in shit

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, a car swarm is the perfect time to drop a GBU-10 for a re-strike on the vehicle, to ensure the original target was destroyed.

You should have seen the picture from one of my local newspapers, they had a picture of this fiasco, and some insane palestinian screeming with blood running down his face.

How did this happen about an hour after the van was blown up, and what would make someone "inspecting" a trashed van start screaming for the camera with blood running down his face?
