In a related story, Liberal Jews ( who for the record I bet have never been in Israel) have started a new political action front to compete with AIPAC which they contend is both dominated by Neocons ( thank-you) and not interested enough in pushing the "road map to peace" forward. They feel Israel is missing the opportunity to negotiate with such a fine chap as Abbas. Pardon me while I spit and cuse!

Abbas To Award PA’s Highest Medal To Hamas Terrorist

What you punish, you get less of.

47 Pawn of the Oppressor  Wed, Apr 16, 2008 11:18:26am

It seems to me, as an interested outside observer, that the modern-day equivalent of Pharaoh is a trifecta of:

1. The Saudi-fellating U.S. State Department.
2. Saudi- and Iranian-backed terrorist groups and their leftist PR fronts.
3. Israel's own government.

I would ask Almighty G-d that these misguided idiots and/or spawn of Amalek be brought to justice in a swift, stunning, and spectacular manner. Preferably in a way that leaves very little doubt about the origins or meaning of the justice-bringing... Know what I mean?

That's a tall order, but it never hurts to ask.

Ahlam Tamimi, a Hamas affiliate serving a life sentence for driving the suicide bomber who exploded himself in the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem, killing at least half a dozen people, including a whole family and Amra Muna, who seduced Ophir Rahum over the Internet and then lured him to Ramallah where he was murdered, will both be awarded the medal.

I don't notice them giving the Kurds any independence. I don't think it has to do with independence for anyone, least of all the palestinians. All this crap has to do with reining in Israel and putting Israel into a position where the next time the entire muslim world comes to push them all into the sea that is just what will happen.

I don't know why Washington has sold Israel down the tubes, but it has been obvious that they have for a couple of years now. We're just watching a show. And I, for one, find it infuriating.

Judge declares mistrial in 'Liberty City 7' terrorism case

A judge has declared a mistrial in the retrial of six men accused of plotting terrorist acts with al Qaeda.

The decision comes after 13 days of deliberation and marks the second time government prosecutors have failed to convince a jury that the six defendants were guilty of terror-related charges.

It is unclear whether the government will pursue a third trial against the defendants.

124 Kosh's Shadow  Wed, Apr 16, 2008 11:41:45am

I'm sure Abbas would love my take on what Carter would propose for a peace plan. Reprinted from yesterday, but I think it is worth a reprint:

Carter, Mashaal Announce Plan for Mideast Peace

Damascus. (CNN – Caliphate-Nazi News)

Former President Jimmy Carter and Hamas Leader Khaled Mashaal announced the final solution for Mideast peace. Hamas and Syria have agreed to recognize the state of Israel, after Carter's plan is put into motion.

The plan involves the Israeli government being taken over by the UN and the US State Department. “This is the culmination of all the years of my presidency,” the Nobel Peace Prize winner Carter said. “We all agree the problem that is preventing peace in the Mideast is that Israel is run by Jews; therefore, by replacing their government with one that is willing to understand the concerns of their neighbors, there will be peace.”

The Jews will still have rights to a homeland, but they will be concentrated in the Negev. “The Jews were able to make the desert bloom, so they should be quite comfortable in the camps that will be constructed there,” said former President Carter.

Reaction from world leaders was strong approval.

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said “I salute former President Carter for his effort, and look forward to my new position as Prime Minister of Israel.” She then left just as the Israeli press arrived, having been forced to enter through the back door.

Barack Obama cheered the result. “I have known for 20 years that a solution like this was needed; finally there will be peace. I have offered former President Carter the position of Secretary of State, when I win the election.” He also said that he would now go under the name B. Hussein Obama.

Hillary Clinton also praised the deal but said “I had almost negotiated this deal, while under rocket fire, but the signed papers disappeared when I went to ask Bill about a stained blue burkha that I found under the desk in the meeting tent.”

John McCain, the Republican nominee for President, said something different, showing he is out of touch with world opinion.

“The UN, the Ummah of Nations, strongly supports this peace treaty.” Secretary General Ban Ki-Moonbat also said, “We have already recognized Mahmoud Abbas as the Israeli ambassador to the UN, and he will be moving in 'as soon as the stench is gone' from the rooms formerly occupied by Jews.”

The president of Iran, Ahmadinejad, said “We welcome this development, but we will not cease in our peaceful nuclear program as long as a single Jew remains alive.”

Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, also praised the accord. “Venezuela is pleased the world has come to understand the problems of our world. We have started rounding up Venezuelan Jews to send them to the new camps in Israel.”

The Saudi Arabian government issued a statement that “In honor of these historic accords, we will call for a 'free gas' day once they are implemented. We will even give Jews free gas, but of a very special kind.”

Adolph Hitler could not be reached for comment.

Cameraman among 20 killed in Gaza clashes

Three Israeli soldiers and 17 Palestinians, one a cameraman for an international news agency, were killed on Wednesday as troops backed by helicopters stormed into the Gaza Strip.

Fadel Shana, 23, a Reuters cameraman, was critically wounded when a missile hit his vehicle in the central Gaza Strip. He died after being taken to hospital, Dr Muawiya Hassanein, the head of Gaza emergency services, told AFP.

An AFP photographer driving behind the Reuters jeep, which had TV and press stickers plastered across its doors and roof, said the vehicle burst into flames after a missile slammed into it.

When a group of photographers rushed to try to rescue their colleague a second missile struck the area, he said.

Two more people were killed in the air strike, medics said. Their identities were not immediately known.

Hmaida (alternate spelling: Sabah Hemeida) was reported to be working for: 1) a local news web site, 2) an Arabic network, 3) Palestinian Media Group, and 4) Dubai TV.

I wrote at the time, “I detect the scent of fish.”

The Sbarro's bombing is Palestinianism at it height. It's what they all want. Israel should help them along the way. Blow up as many of them as possible, as quickly as possible.

It is all part of the Peace Process. There will never be Peace unless enough Palestinians are blown up. Israel is slacking.

Reuters cameraman Fadel Shana films in Rafah camp in the southern Gaza Strip in this February 4, 2008 file photo. A Reuters cameraman was killed in the Gaza Strip on April 16, 2008 in what appeared to have been an Israeli military strike. Shana, a 23-year-old Palestinian, was covering violence in the enclave for the international news agency. Two bystanders were also killed in an explosion after Shana stepped from his vehicle. His soundman escaped serious injury. Film from Shana's camera showed an Israeli tank stationed several hundred metres (yards) away firing a shell. The film then went blank, apparently at the moment Shana was hit. Earlier, local residents had said the explosion appeared to have been caused by an air strike

As for the air-strike, tank-fire contradiction, when anything happens in Gaza, the residents swear it was an air strike. In some cases when it turned out to be a mine, or a "work accident."

Dog farts, they swear it was an IDF missile.

Okay, re the Reuters stringer killed:

Reports claim it was a tank who hit the vehicle. Others say it was an airstrike and a missile hit it.

Israeli tanks don't fire missiles - they fire tank rounds. Fact check?

Also, who else was in the immediate vicinity of the Reuters vehicle when it was struck? Was the photographer accompanying Hamas on one of their agitprop parades when Israel went hot with weapons?

Israel took out a bunch of Palestinian terrorists today, and many were operating in close quarters with civilians - on purpose no less since the terrorists will purposefully shield themselves with civilians to maximize the body count to blame Israel.

Just so the readers don't misunderstand you, lets make it clear.

You are defending Bush on the proposition that dead Jews and the destruction of Israel is a fair price to pay for "peace".

If that in and of itself doesn't make you despicable and questions what you're doing on LGF, lets judge you intelligence.

It used to be FOX News was the only organization that Obama refused to talk with.
Today Barack added Hamas to this list.

His church is against Israel. His father figure pastor is against Israel. His church's "man of the year" is against Israel. His close friends are against Israel.

But, today Barack Obama spoke out in support of Israel and condemned Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas.
YNET News reported:

Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama on Wednesday disagreed with former President Jimmy Carter's overtures toward Hamas, saying he would not talk to the Islamist group until it recognized Israel and renounced terrorism.

The Illinois senator, campaigning in Pennsylvania which holds the next presidential voting contest on Tuesday, told a group of Jewish leaders he has an "unshakable commitment" to help protect Israel from its "bitter enemies."

"That's why I have a fundamental difference with President Carter and disagree with his decision to meet with Hamas," Obama said. "We must not negotiate with a terrorist group intent on Israel's destruction. We should only sit down with Hamas if they renounce terrorism, recognize Israel's right to exist and abide by past agreements."

"Hamas is not a state. Hamas is a terrorist organization," he said.
You have to draw the line somewhere--

especially when the majority of Americans disagree with your inner circle.

I know most of the profiles & views of almost every AFV ever fielded (military history and WWII nut since I was 12), and that does look like the front of a modern tank, with some real foliage for camoflage starting at the hull, and going up past the turret in a conical shape.

FYI.

And another clue: What's up with these two guys? They claim they were wounded in the same attack. But here they are from a different angle. You can see Fadel's car in the background. Firefighters and medics arrive and put out the fire already. That should take about 20-30 minutes at best but they're still there lounging in the road.

I imagine that to a tanker on alert a shoulder held camera can look a lot like a shoulder fired weapon, and vice versa.

That there probably were a few of each in the little group didn't help.

Best to shoot first to be sure, IMHO.

Exactly, from KT #350, we've got active contact. Guy hops out of car, put something on his shoulder at points it at the tank, the TC sees this and thinks, OH RUCK MISSILE CREW. And eliminates the threat.

JERUSALEM – For at least the fourth time in recent months, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice referred to the Hamas terrorist organization as a "resistance" movement during unscripted remarks with reporters, WND has learned.

This time, Rice was giving a free-ranging interview two weeks ago with the Washington Times when a reporter asked her about the wisdom of encouraging democracy in countries where radical Islamists could win elections, pointing as an example to Hamas, which won Palestinian elections two years ago.

Rice replied: "It's, I would say, still a story-in-progress on Hamas, in particular, because I think there's plenty of evidence now that one reason that Hamas went back to their bad old ways and took over the Gaza and overthrew the legitimate Palestinian Authority institutions is that actually they were failing at governance, and it's easier to be a resistance movement than to be a governing movement."

Is the white building on the right in this pic the same as the center building here? It looks like a different angle of the same location. If so, that means the Palestinians were firing mortars at that position. Fadel was there, spotting or just hoping to record a hit.

it's actually in a sound firing position, if it indeed was engaging targets towards where the camera is (in that general direction). also, it's just a little past the perfect spot for a hull-down position, which all tankers are trained to achieve when possible.

What you cannot explain away by that theory, though, is that in all three pictures that show the white building from the same angle, supposedly taken by the guy's camera, the building is in a different place.
