Hamas Rocket Hits Shopping Center

And obama understands why these people endorse him.

Can we has carpet-bombing nao?

hamas hearts obama

The homemade rockets militants usually fire at Israel do not have enough range to reach Ashkelon. Militants use longer-range rockets to hit the city of 100,000, 9 miles from the Gaza-Israel border.

TERRORISTS, you ignorant buffoons.

Happy freakin' Nakba!

Where did they get that long-range missile?

While the rest of the world yawns...

The Israeli leader said at the end of the talks that Israel would not tolerate attacks from Gaza militants.

I feel so much better, don't you?

GO GET THEM!

Today was supposed to be the day "millions" of "displaced Palestinians" were going to march, drive, fly, into Israel to assert their "Right of Return."

Haven't heard anything about that.

Hamas is really asking for it.

Ask and ye shall receive...hopefully.

One rocket came close to the power plant.
If Hamas damages the plant, and Israel is short on electricity, think the world will still tell Israel to supply power to Gaza, and if they need to black out part of Israel, do so?

Time to let the Israelis take out Hamas. That means replacing Olmerde first, though.

Enough of this silliness, take the gloves off already.

A rocket fired from Gaza

See? It's all the fault of those darned Israeli settlements in Gaza.

Well now if that doesn't call for a spontaneous Pali block party, I don't know what does.

Houston - A rocket fired from Mexico exploded in a shopping center in the southern U.S. city of Houston on Wednesday, wounding at least three people and leaving two trapped under rubble, officials said.

Rescue service spokesman said two babies were among the wounded. Witnesses told radio stations that the rocket caused considerable damage and said at least two people were trapped.

Well, it likely would not matter... We know Iranian weapons and fighters are killing our guys and gals in Iraq and we do nothing...

Isn't it time that Israel repatriates the Gaza Egyptians with Egypt?

Sad way to start the day, news like this.
I can't linger, I am taking more exams today.
Carry on.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday denounced the 60th anniversary of Israel's establishment. Speaking to domestic and foreign reporters, the Iranian leader said "celebrating birth anniversary for a dead will not have any effect on it nor will the presence of those who intend to attend the ceremony be of any help in giving a life to the dead body."

"Those who are to gather in the occupied land in Palestine and attend the ceremony marking the establishment of the illegal regime assume that their action would help bolster the declining regime," said the Ahmadinejad, according to IRNA. The world public opinion understands that holding such a ceremony indicates the weakness and decline of the fabricated regime, said the president.

re: #5 MandyManners

If any other people with an elected government fired rockets from their territory into a neighboring state, would they be called "militants?"

re: #32 Kalak

One rocket, one cruise missile going back to the launch point.

Two rockets, two cruise missiles.

Nice start, but not good enough. (Also, cruise missiles are too expensive).

One rocket = one sustained, prolonged 155mm counterbattery fire.

That's better.

Rescue service spokesman Eli Bean said two babies were among the wounded.

And the heroic bravery of warriors who can defeat babies will be celebrated for generations.

re: #31 storagemanager

They are too smart for that.

There were reports that Hamas was getting technical help from Hizballah, which means from Iran. But with the Gaza-Egypt border being as porous as it is, it could be coming from anywhere.

How about a real war to settle this?

They are all Iran..........

Former ambassador to Syria tells Arab newspaper, 'The resistance in Lebanon materialized following the Iranian revolution and later reached Palestine'

Hizbullah, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad are the Iranian revolution's legal sons, a former Iranian ambassador to Syria and one of Hizbullah's founders has said.

In an interview published Wednesday with the London-based Arabic-language newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat, Mohamed Hassan Akhtari said that "the imam Khomeini and the Islamic Republic of Iran saw the Palestinian problem their own, and therefore set the global Jerusalem Day in the month of Ramadan in support of the Palestinian issue.

"As we all know, the Hamas movement and the Islamic Jihad were established after the Islamic revolution victory in Iran, inspired by the imam Khomeini and the resistance he led."

The only time the Gazans are repatriated to Egypt is when they blow a hole in the wall Egypt built on the border to keep them out.

re: #33 ec marm

No, I can't. The rest of the world mocks us because they see us as naive, yet we have managed to create a society in which a diverse culture can prosper in peace.

Israel is no different in that respect. The only difference is that we don't have generations of uneducated, inbred psychopaths bent on our total destruction living right next door.

G-d help Israel.

I wonder how the MSM will play it down this time.

re: #26 MandyManners

Provable?

No, but an very good possibility. Hamas can only stuff low grade solid fuel in a pipe with a pointy end and fins. Guidance and range they need some help.

Almost on a daily basis, Hamas launches rockets into southern Israel, occasionally killing some poor soul. The latest victim was a woman of about 70 who was killed yesterday. Israel usually retaliates, and Palestinians -- some of them just as innocent as the Israeli victim -- are killed.

Richard "Israel Was a Mistake" Cohen, Washington Post, as quoted by Power Line. Notice how Hamas kills one at a time, but Palestinians die in the plural. Cohen sees Hamas as a riddle that the clever Obama, not the blunderbuss McCain, can solve. Reminds me of the English actress who said she could have cured Hitler of antisemitism, though perhaps she'd have needed two or three sessions.

re: #34 tfc3rid

With the counterbattery radar the IDF has they know the launch point while the rocket is still in flight, they could have a barrage outbound before the bastards had a chance to yell aloha snackbar. But counterbattery fire is not pinpoint.

From the horse's mouth:

Senior Hamas operative figure tells London Sunday Times’ Gaza Strip correspondent about Iranian and Syria military aid, detailing the training received by hundreds of Hamas terrorist operatives and describing the transmission to Hamas of Iranian technical know-how for the manufacture of rockets and IEDs.

[Link: www.rightsidenews.com...]

The world is pretty much already set, where a full scale assault against Israel will draw yawns from the U.N., and most of the West.

It's frustrating to live in these "perilous times", where there are "rumors of wars", and watch nearly the entire world filled with a deep deception, much of the USA included, where these people call evil good, and good, evil.

This world and existence truly are in Gods control, because at this point, mankind couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag, and that will never change.

God Bless Israel and God Bless America

I'd like to ask something...

Weren't the "liberation" groups of the 70s very Arab-Socialist/Nationalist rather than Pan-Islamist? That would explain why the uber-lefties are so infatuated with the "liberation" of Palestine...

And will the Palestinians pass out candies again for wounding Israelis at a shopping center?

Olmert probably won't do anything because he's up to his arse in alligators. OTOH, a swift response might divert some of the attention away from his troubles.

This is the usual Palestinian M.O. Whenever a foreign diplomat (Zinni, Condi, etc.)shows up to promote "the peace process," they ramp up the terror. It is designed to tell Israel "who's in charge," especially since Israel will have to smile and take it.

As others have noted above, Israel had better take action soon, as President B. Hussein Obama will only "hold up a mirror" to the Jews, to teach them to die with dignity so as not to upset "our allies."

Correct:

Iran aids and supports Hamas in the following ways: by transferring enormous sums of money to the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip and to the Hamas movement; by training Hamas operatives in military skills in Iran; by smuggling arms into the Gaza Strip, including the 122mm Grad missiles which recently attacked Ashqelon

Hillary co-hosted Arafat for 8 straight years in the Lincoln Bedroom, for nothing but continued attacks against Israel and our allies and ourselves.

According to J post, it was a Grad-type rocket, copies of which are made by Iran, Egypt, China, North Korea, etc.

The Grad is a relatively accurate, fin-stabilized rocket and launch system, the rocket usually having a fragementation warhead.

In other words, it's not a rocket you can knock together in a garage. It's spin-stabilized as it leaves the launcher, which requires precision machining.

Hamas couldn't make them on their own.

My goodness, I see on WND, that Hamas is going to make a statement saying that they now don't endorse Obama.

I'm sure that some more of Obamas Hamas supporting advisors quickly met with Hamas and told them that Hamas' support could harm Obamas chances.

The fact that this country is even taking Obama seriously as a POTUS contender, means this country is already screwed, because it's only a matter of time, if not November, that one of these kooks will be elected, while their kook counterparts control the Congress.
