Truce 'Strained' by Palestinian Rocket Attacks

Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 8:51:42 am PDT

Yes, it’s another Palestinian attempt at random murder, as they play a pathetic shell game and pretend Hamas is honoring the truce, while “other groups” (nudge, wink) try to sabotage it: Qassam hits western Negev.

Another ceasefire violation: A Qassam rocket was fired Thursday afternoon from the Gaza Strip into Israel, exploding in an open area in Sderot’s industrial zone. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
 
The al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, Fatah’s military wing, took responsibility for firing the rocket. Sources in the Gaza Strip believe that the firing was meant to embarrass Hamas and to harm the ceasefire efforts.

And the wire services are issuing their usual bizarre headlines:

New rocket strike on Israel as Gaza truce enters second week
Gaza truce strained by rocket fire, closure

Israel can't win this one, either. No matter what happens, they are wrong. Aha: the Israelis breathe, they have violated the truce...etc.

and yet they are blaming israel because they won't open up the crossing points.

infuriating. the truce still holds while they're firing rockets but the second israel undertakes a rescue mission for gilad shalit [which they should and won't, and it's been 2 years, and i'm sure it's not feasible but that's just another frustration], the truce will be "shattered" by the zionist oppressors.

It won't be broken until Israel retaliates.

The palis are like little kids. One keeps throwing things at his brother; when the brother slaps him back, the first one yells "Mommy, he hit me!"
And the UN is the enabling excuse for a parent. (Since the UN has a special "refugee agency" for the palis, they really are acting as a parent.)

At this point, Israel should say clearly "No negotiation with Hamas. They don't keep their word. Palis, replace them or we will."
A week later, clean up the place. All Hamas leaders are killed or arrested and charged with war crimes.
Start with a warning - all civilians are to leave. Anyone trying to leave with weapons will be considered a terrorist.
Put up checkpoints, with cameras and remote sensing. blast-resistant.
Person gets scanned for weapons, door opens. Inside, if there were weapons, a trap toor opens. Anyone without weapons goes out another door.
After everyone who comes out is processed, the IDF goes in and anything that moves gets shot. Or maybe save Israeli lives and flatten the place. Then let them back, ONCE. If they get another terrorist government, they're gone. Drop them in Sinai or Jordan.

Kind of what happened when Israel (under Sharon) left Gaza. The Palis weren't serious about negotiating, and Israel just up and left. With no agreements to break.

I was against it only as far as it didn't hold the Pali-Gazans to any kind of agreement, quid pro quo. Hamas has not broken their promises, since they've haven't made any.

I think that is something which is totally lost in western society now.

The idea of beating your enemy so bad, they either die or submit has been since the dawn of time.

Some may disagree, but when is enough?

When does it reach the final straw, and Israel, or any country in that matter, under constant attack, have the right to eliminate such threat, to the point is no longer a threat?

I might sound like a war monger, but I think Israel needs to get in the mode of fighting like she was before, and just unleash hell on the enemy.

Its not like the U.N. is actually doing anything in their favor for playing by the rules now as it is.

re: #62 Ben Hur

Believe me, when Israel responds, they'll be screaming that the truce is over.

When Israel responds they will unleash such fury .......on an an empty shack somewhere is Gaza that's going to just be devastating.

Then they will rush in aid and fuel.

Actually, major point you made.

Shintoism, (and some chemical additives) were catalysts for Kamikaze suicides bombers. (Blaring similarities here) In addition, providing the Emperor with healthy revenues.

MacArthur disestablished Shinto as the religion of State in postwar Japan. No apologies either.

Ok. Even stupid people are allowed a mistake or two.

So what now with the American funded, and trained, and supported, Fatah firing at Israel?

Have you heard George or Condi say that such funding and aiding and supporting Islamic terrorists is going to end?

They aren't stupid people. They are deluded during very dangerous times.

No, the Palis will have put a child in the shack, so they can say the Israelis killed him. Never mind the rocket launchers outside the shack.

Comparing the barbarians to the Civil Rights movement is more then being delusional.

Rice would be delusional if she thinks she remembers when Martin Luther King fired a rocket at Selma, otherwise the comparison is stupid, idiotic, malicious even.

And Bush overstepped delusional long ago.

Precisely. The Palestinians have never been decisively defeated (as were Jordan and Egypt). They'll have to be hammered into the ground.

There is nothing to decisively defeat. They just up and run, then scream that the scary evil joos stole their homes.

I wonder what Ariel Sharon thinks of the Gaza 'disengagement' now.

The retreat from Gaza he pushed thru, which ran 180 degrees counter to his election platform. The retreat he conceived of and implemted to stop the leftist Istaeli judiciary from indicting him on financila irregularities his son subsequently served jail time for.

Ariel, what do you say?

Was it worth it?

Did it work out well?

No answer. Sigh.

By the time of the Disengagement Sharon was probably already brain-damaged. For as long as two years before that I was saying he was acting like someone having small brain-strokes -- the kind that do not have physical effects but impair logical thinking. As a very obese man with a choleric temper he was just the type for it.

But surely his associates around him should have been able to see the symptoms. Maybe they did, but had their own purposes for going along with his literally crazy doings.

107 WrathofG-d  Thu, Jun 26, 2008 10:50:52am

Hamas calls a cease fire and the people they have been working closer with the FATAH/PLO/PA/Mahmood Abbas/Abu Mazen "moderates" pick up the slack?

Ahhhh we now can see the bringing together of Hamas and Fatah that Condi and Bush have been working so closely on.

~I posted yesterday a link/article where Hamas stated they were fully committed to the cease fire but would not be taking any steps to stop "militants" from attacking Israel.

Way to go Olmert!

re: #106 Clio

I don't think it was dementia that led him to the whole disengagement plan. I think it was a combination, as Maine's Michael suggested-of diverting attention away from his scummy dealings and his son's scummy dealings. He got the media's fawning approval and tacit agreement to bury the story about his financial stuff in exchange for their hechsher of the Israeli media to keep it under wrap and the susequent 'etrog' treatment.

re: #112 debutaunt
well, of course, because it is Israel's fault- several people here pointed that out. Israeli buildings have destroyed Pali rockets- when the rockets hit the buildings. Just because the Hamas charter demands the destruction of Israel- Israel still has to help Gaza which Hamas terrorizes- I mean, governs.

Spinning and leaving out necessary facts is par-for-the-course for the MSM.

Such as this article where they discuss the injuried "protestors" at a "anti-Wall" protest.

From reading the article you learn that innocent Phakestinians came out to protest against the Apartheid wall that is stealing their land, and the evil IDF just began shooting at them.

BUT.....when you go to non MSM sources you find tha these "protestors" were attacking the IDF, physically destroying Israeli property, ripping down portions of the Anti-Terrorism fence, etc., and only after being asked numerous times to leave and stop did the IDF resort to rubber bullets and tear gas.
