IDF’s YouTube Channel Under Attack

Video • Tue Dec 30, 2008 at 10:15 am PST • Views: 1,066

The IDF has opened a channel on YouTube to post videos showing why they’re fighting Hamas; one of the most-viewed videos showed Hamas terrorists loading rockets into a truck in a residential neighborhood. And of course, Hamas supporters are using YouTube’s “flagging” features to get these videos removed: What YouTube Doesn’t Want You to See.

Here’s that video, still available on Liveleak:

UPDATE at 12/30/08 10:29:22 am:

Here’s the IDF YouTube page, with the following statement:

We are saddened that YouTube has taken down some of our exclusive footage showing the IDF’s operational success in operation Cast Lead against Hamas extremists in the Gaza Strip. As the State of Israel again faces those who would see it destroyed, it is imperative that we in the IDF show the world the inhumanity directed against us and our efforts to stop it. It is also worth noting that one of the videos removed had the highest number of hits (over 10,000) at the time of its removal.

I hope you guys will nuke yourselves by accident, that would solve everything.


...

if they dont sincerely repent of their sins, ask God to forgive them ask Jesus inside their hearts. not many jews believe that Jesus is the true messiah and they do not believe that He has come, but after God destroys the enemies of Isreal they will turn their True God they will know who saved them.. and then during the tibulation they will finaly accept Jesus as their Lord and savior!


...

Thou shalt not kill...

where's the fine print that says it's OK anyway?

I really think it's time that Israel get Dan Gillerman to go on TV (he's already had that position since a day to help out) and tell the "world community" that it doesn't matter what they say because Israel will not stop until Hamas is exterminated.

Judging from past example, and the progress of the present situation, I'd feel confident that this will end up like all the rest of these confrontations--a return to the atatus quo.
Apparently Israel's leaders lack the political will to resolve this as it should be resolved.

This is more important than it seems.

Israel lost the Lebanon war (or at least wasn't nearly as successful as it should have been) almost entirely on the weight of Hizb'Allah's successful global propaganda campaign to shut down Israeli attacks.

Here is Israel's fledgling attempts to conquer its own niche in the media sphere, and Hamas is fighting it.

I'm using this military terminology deliberately. The media is another field of battle here, and victory in that sphere is arguably as important as whatever happens on the ground in Gaza.

Fighting the information wars is critical to long-term success in any modern conflict. The Israelis have figured this out. Too bad U.S. policymakers are behind the curve on this. It's one reason the Bush Administration struggled to get its message out on Iraq.

In time of war, it's reasonable to ask U.S. media to report the truth in a way that doesn't cause additional U.S. or friendly civilian casualties. Israel is a U.S. ally, and should be extended identical courtesies.

re: #69 Silhouette

I would question whether feeding murderers qualifies as humanitarian.

It does not. (last thread Dustyvet, Realwest, and I made a few points on this)

If the "aid" ends up feeding a child or a Hamas terrorist is irrelevant. The "aid" decreases the burden on Hamas. If it feeds a baby, that's more food for a terrorist to eat. Aid eases the pressure on Hamas, at a time when maximum pressure is required.

Aid, only increases the length of time the civilians will suffer under Hamas.

McKinney by her attempted actions and publicity is aiding and abetting a known terrorist organizations.

re: #78 Iron Fist

I've been calling for that since 9-11, possibly even before 9-11. Israel needs to execute all the Hamas members she has in custody, and then make a serious effort to kill all the Hamas members she doesn't have in custody. And they need to keep it up until they run out of Hamas-freaks.

And that includes Hamas-freak terror supporting "photojournalists" who are taking agitprop pictures of Jihadis in Action. Start making their lives short, and they will stop promoting the propaganda.

I believe that even the big terror-supporting public rallies would stop if Israel would just drop some cluster-bombs on them. And maybe a little napalm to indicate how pissed the Israelis really are.


I am praying that some day soon the Muslim world will finally realize that the rest of the world will fight back against the extremists in their community if they cant moderate their ideas and conduct.

re: #70 looking closely

This is more important than it seems.

Israel lost the Lebanon war (or at least wasn't nearly as successful as it should have been) almost entirely on the weight of Hizb'Allah's successful global propaganda campaign to shut down Israeli attacks.

I agree this is important.

However, I'd say Israel had limited success in the Lebanon war for purely military reasons, couldn't bust the concrete bunkers, had no strategic goals worth the cost of invasion, too dangerous to invade on the ground lacking the B-52 capability of "ploughing a road" against prepared defenses, increased use of advanced anti-tank missiles against them, ... and most of all, their own strategic decision not to kill civilians or even target enemies behind civilian shields.

Perhaps they now have some better bunker-busters, but I'm not sure a single additional military point has changed. Israel has always been under severe political limitations, especially from the EU. The communications war on the web plays into that, I guess.

The only other option is for Isreal to set up its own website and post these videos. They can promote it on sites like LGF. With enough publicity, traffic would move to that website to watch the videos without interference by the YouTubes of the world.

Then feed the kids, free of Hamas.

Israel *HAS* been eliminating senior Hamas leadership when practicable.

While killing all the Hamas members it has in custody or could capture would no doubt be effective, its not politically expedient.

Forget the international condemnation that would result, Israel simply doesn't have the internal political will to do that. As a nation, Israel would actually rather suffer its own casualties secondary to Palestinian terrorism, rather than enact that sort of "scorched earth" approach. . .so it does.

As to shelling outdoor Hamas rallies with women and kids present. . .forget it. Its a non-starter. Israeli bombers would rather sit in jail than pull the trigger on that.

In a way, the IDF's troubles with the YouTube pro-terrorist posters is a blessing in disguise if the Israelis get this out to the media, beyond just PJ Media. It's a news story that should be covered by the media, precisely because of what is going on. Israel is showing what it is up against, and the jihadi sycophants are busy trying to bury the evidence all while inventing horror stories that bear no rational relationship to reality.

Israel is getting more coverage as a result of these idiots trying to block the videos than if they had simply let them post online.

re: #144 realwest

I'm with you all the way on that Fist, but the "rules of war" were re-written to exclude the use of cluster bombs and napalm to avoid too much "collateral damage".
Course where Gaza is concerned I don't know how much collateral damage is really possible. You let Hamas put up rocket launchers in YOUR backyard, don't protest, don't leave the area, would you still be collateral damage?!

In seriousness, Gaza is one of the most densely populated places on the face of the earth, with 1.5 million people crammed into 130 square miles, and roughly 400k of them within Gaza City proper.

The overcrowding there was a strategic choice on behalf of the Palestinians, who knew that they would have increasing strength in numbers. Consequently, the fertility rate in Gaza is among the highest in the world, as high as sub-Saharan Africa with an average of five children per woman. Approximately half of Gaza's population is under 18 years old.

In practice, what this means, is that you can't swing a cat in Gaza without hitting several children. Gazans are packed so densely that *ANY* military type assault carries extreme risk of collateral damage.

The only other option is for Isreal to set up its own website and post these videos. They can promote it on sites like LGF. With enough publicity, traffic would move to that website to watch the videos without interference by the YouTubes of the world.

re: #210 Iron Fist

when and where were the "rules of war" modified? Usually that term applies to the various Geneva Conventions, but no one, not even the US, has ratified all of them. I know we have caveats that allow us to use WMD, up to and including nukes.

I'd say that the Geneva Convention doesn't really have any force of law behind it when dealing with the likes of Hamas. For the Geneva Conventions to apply to a conflict, both sides have to be living within them. There's no way that anyone could argue with a straight face that Hamas has lived up to their obligations under the "Rules of War".

So the rules simply don't apply to them. At all. If Israel rounded them all up and crucified them it wouldn't violate the Geneva Convention. Because the Geneva Conventions simply do not apply to terrorists.

I wish the rules of war prohibited:
Suicide bombers
IEDs
Flying aircraft into buildings,
Shooting women in the head because they were raped.
Strapping bombs to children with Down's syndrome
Honor killings
That is my wish, do you think I can get such a proposal discussed at the UN or over at the Arab Leagues meeting in Egypt?

I've read that early Aramaic and pre-Arabic versions of the Quran actually mention 72 "RAISINS". "Raisins" was mistranslated as "virgins" long ago, which contradicts the Islamist notion that the Quran is pure and unchanged by man, unlike the often-translated Bible. Scholarly research on the origins of the Quran are, of course, mostly forbidden. A few brave scholars such as Christopher Luxemburg and Gabriel Sawma are the exception.

Every time I hear about the 72 Virgins it reminds me of a joke.

Seems a successful suicide bomber finds himself in the after world where he is met by George Washington who promptly kicks his ass. Then he runs into Thomas Jefferson who beats the crap out of him. Then it's Patrick Henry who pounds him. The bomber asks Henry what happened to the 72 Virgins. Henry replies, "It's not 72 Virgins, it's 72 Virginians."

re: #210 Iron Fist

For the Geneva Conventions to apply to a conflict, both sides have to be living within them.


I believe that the rules apply to any nation that is a signatory to the Convention.

In this case, since Israel is a signatory, it must follow the rules of the Convention. HAMAS, not being a signatory, doesn't have to honor them (at least not legally speaking).

While it would be interesting to see if Hamas would sign on, the fact is, even if they did, there would be no enforcement, and such a signature by Hamas would be about as valuable as every other promise that every other Palestinian group has made historically (ie worthless).

In practice, I don't think that the Geneva convention meaningfully ties Israel's hands here anyway. Whether Hamas gave the same consideration to Israeli soldiers or not, Israel would still be happy to give full rights to uniformed HAMAS combatants who openly displayed their arms, for example.

So regardless of whether HAMAS extends those rights to Israeli soldiers, if HAMAS wants to take advantage of Geneva convention protections, it has to follow the rules itself.

re: #250 Iron Fist

But first you have to absolutely thoroughly dismember their military capacity. This includes killing a majority of the "draftable" male population. If they have no soldiers left to carry the guns, it doesn't really matter how many guns they have left..


Not disagreeing, again, the situation in Gaza is such that half the population is under the age of 18, and the Gazans are replacing at 5 children per woman.

So unless your plan includes the killing of teenager boys, there is really no shortage of future HAMAS "draftables" in Gaza.

Bush speaks with Abbas about ceasefire

Washington - US President George W Bush spoke with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday over efforts to achieve 'a sustainable ceasefire' to end the fighting in the Gaza Strip, the White House said.

Bush also spoke with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak, said Gordon Johndroe, a White House spokesman.

'They agreed that for any ceasefire to be effective, it must be respected, particularly by Hamas,' Johndroe said in Crawford, Texas, where Bush is vacationing.

Johndroe reiterated demands on Hamas to stop launching rockets against Israel, blaming the Islamic militants for the conflict and massive military response by the Israelis.

'These sides know how to end this: Hamas stops firing rockets and Israel will not see a need to protect its people from rocket attacks,' Johndroe said.

Washington will only back a ceasefire that is lasting and adhered to by Hamas, he said.

'We don't want a ceasefire agreement that isn't worth the paper it's written on,' he said.

Gaza children traumatised as Israeli bombs rain down

GAZA CITY (AFP) — "We are scared... that we can die at any moment," said 11-year-old Mohammed Ayyad, still terrified hours after a massive Israeli bombardment of Hamas government buildings next to his house in Gaza.

Like the rest of Gaza's children, he has been traumatised by the four-day assault on Islamist Hamas targets which has transformed many areas of the overcrowded territory into piles of rubble and shattered glass.

"As they were hitting the centre (of Gaza City), we heard an enormous explosion and our house was filled with dust," he said. "We immediately ran towards the ground floor."

His six-year-old brother Ahmad "peed his pants. We were all scared because the planes are in the sky all the time and we could die at any moment."

So, in the name of feeling good about themselves, the EU politically and temporarily pacifies situations (e.g., Gaza crossing, southern Iraq, southern Lebanon, Iran, etc.) and then craps out on the commitments they make. Then their creepier folks make end around deals with the enemy that end up getting their allies killed (or that advance the finishing of Hitler's failed effort, depending on the case). Israel cannot depend on their help, no matter what the EU says. It is disappointing for the Israelis, as they want to be part of the group, but they are not safe with the EU dreg people.

Excellent question O.R. - we had that "rumor" floating around on the DT and thread prior to this and we are getting conflicting signals - the last I saw was that the IDF said NO CEASEFIRE. PERIOD.
Wish I could remember which comment/link but sorry, senior moment here.

One possibility is the talk of a truce is misdirection, while they get ready to invade Gaza (a dirty job that would disgust Mike Rowe).
There shouldn't be a ceasefire until Israel has nothing left to shoot at.

Maybe the Israelis should let Hamas know that a cease fire is in order as soon as Hamas stops all missile firings, apologize, officially recognize Israel, then put their heads down between their legs and kiss their own *sses . . . on You Tube videos.

The IDF has said no cease fire.
The (largely liberal) Israeli parliament is still mulling the prospect over.

The IDF does what they're told. Just like what would have happened here if things had gone slightly differently after "the war in Iraq was lost".

The Illinois Democrats really don't want an election, that would be horrors democratic. Can the Illinois Democrats convince Reid to accept Blago's appointment?

And any violation of surrender terms will mean the end of any chance of a peace treaty with Hamas. They hold up their end, or that's it.
We know Hamas won't really observe the terms, which have to include NO missiles; if a group does launch them, Hamas has to turn over the perpetrators, and co-operate with the IDF while they get rid of those who broke the truce.
If they don't, it shows any treaty would be worthless (duh! look at the [deleted]) and therefore, there cannot be one.

Gaza children traumatised as Israeli bombs rain down

GAZA CITY (AFP) — "We are scared... that we can die at any moment," said 11-year-old Mohammed Ayyad, still terrified hours after a massive Israeli bombardment of Hamas government buildings next to his house in Gaza.

Like the rest of Gaza's children, he has been traumatised by the four-day assault on Islamist Hamas targets which has transformed many areas of the overcrowded territory into piles of rubble and shattered glass.

"As they were hitting the centre (of Gaza City), we heard an enormous explosion and our house was filled with dust," he said. "We immediately ran towards the ground floor."

His six-year-old brother Ahmad "peed his pants. We were all scared because the planes are in the sky all the time and we could die at any moment."

And on and on and on...

Sorry about that kid. Got to talk with your brothers, father, uncles, etc to get them to lay down their arms if you don't want an errant IDF round destroying your house. You get 0 sympathy from me on this one.

A useful term for dealing with the Palis in particular and the Arabs in general; monopoly on violence. No group in either the West Bank or Gaza can legitmately make this claim, so any deal with them is worthless.

IDF instructions for civilians in rocket range


The firing of rockets at Israeli communities surrounding the Gaza Strip is expected to continue over the next few days, and may expand in range, the IDF Home Command said on Sunday.

Therefore, residents are requested to follow directions for preparing a protected room and act in accordance with the instructions at the sound of an alarm, an explosion, or a "Color Red" alert.

# Residents who live adjacent to the Gaza security fence are asked to remain within shelters on Monday, in close proximity to protected areas and are requested not to assemble in groups.

All schools and commercial centers will remain closed, with the exception of vital services, such as medical centers and grocery stores. Public transit will operate on a limited schedule.

# Other residents who live within 10 km. of the Gaza security fence are directed to ensure that they are no more than 15 seconds from a protected area. Public gatherings in this area are forbidden.

# Residents of towns within 10 to 20 km. of Gaza must be able to enter sheltered areas within 30 seconds. This area includes Ashkelon, Netivot and the surrounding towns. In these towns, gatherings of up to 100 people are allowed, to be held only under reinforced ceilings. Commercial activity will only be allowed to take place in reinforced buildings.

# Residents of towns between 20 and 30 km. from Gaza must be able to enter sheltered areas within 45 seconds, and gatherings of up to 500 people are allowed, to be held only under reinforced ceilings. This area includes Ashdod, Kiryat Gat, Kiryat Malachi, Ofakim, Rahat and the surrounding towns. Educational activity will take place in reinforced buildings only. Commercial activity will only be allowed to take place in reinforced buildings.

# The Home Front Command has advised the local authorities to open the public shelters. Entrance to the shelters is advised only if they are reachable within the aforementioned time frames.

Gatherings near rocket attack sites should be avoided. Unidentified objects and rockets should not be approached. In such instances the police should be notified.

Adhering to these guidelines and entering sheltered rooms saves lives.

Additional information can be obtained via the Home Front Command's hot line, 1207, and Web site: [Link: www.oref.org.il...]

"Kragar" -

Yup, money to UNRWA - the 60 year old welfare program for "Palestinian Refugees." There were about 750,000 of them after the 1948 war. Under the "Genocidal" Israeli Policies - there are now about 3 Million of them on the world's dole. There were about the same number of Sephardic Jews driven out of the nations of the Arab League. They are called "Citizens" -
of Israel, the USA, Canada, Australia and other nations of the world. They make thir own way, or if they need Public Assistance, get it from the nation of which they are now a citizen.
Give them credit, the "Palestinian Refugees" have been able to keep this Gravy Train running for a long time.

IDF instructions for civilians in rocket range

I see they have it in English now. That's a good step. I have a friend who moved back to the US after 7 years in northern Israel (aliyah!) because she was pinned down in her hall with her cat in the summer '06 rockets and couldn't find anything telling her what to do. The Israelis on the radio were so excited that they were talking a million miles an hour and she couldn't figure out what they were saying. And the internet didn't have anything applicable that she could find. I get the feeling Israel figured out a lot from that experience and looks like they have their ducks in a huddle this time.

I have no doubt that PM Olmert will cave and that this current conflict will not enhance Israel's security in any way. Still I think the solution to this conflict is obvious.

For every fired from Gaza, the Israelis should respond by firing their own rockets at the suspected lauch sites...wherever they are located. Given that the Israelis possess the MLRS, which can completely obliterate 1 square km with twelve rockets and submunitions, I suspect the Gazans would lose interest in firing rockets pretty quickly.

Try that for a week and see what happens.

Just to throw a little more gas onto the fire (why not): I actually don't see anything necessarily morally wrong with the concept of "expulsion" of a relentlessly hostile population. Hell, several hundred thousand ethnic Germans were expelled from various European countries in 1945-46, and nobody gets too bent out of shape about it. But as we both realize, in this case it just won't happen.

GAZA CITY (AFP) — "We are scared... that we can die at any moment," said 11-year-old Mohammed Ayyad, still terrified hours after a massive Israeli bombardment of Hamas government buildings next to his house in Gaza.

Like the rest of Gaza's children, he has been traumatised by the four-day assault on Islamist Hamas targets which has transformed many areas of the overcrowded territory into piles of rubble and shattered glass.

"As they were hitting the centre (of Gaza City), we heard an enormous explosion and our house was filled with dust," he said. "We immediately ran towards the ground floor."

His six-year-old brother Ahmad "peed his pants. We were all scared because the planes are in the sky all the time and we could die at any moment."


The Israelis are aiming their shots, and not at children. Predictably, though inevitably there will be a few unlucky exceptions, the boys are uninjured.

The guys Israel is killing are mostly Hamas "fighters", busily blazing away with their rockets at Israel. All this needn't have happened. If Hamas' paymasters in Iran and elsewhere didn't require rocket artillery attacks on Israel in exchange for the funding, Gaza could turn its energies to growing oranges and setting up beachfront hotels and earning money that isn't blood money.

re: #464 Dirk Diggler

I have no doubt that PM Olmert will cave and that this current conflict will not enhance Israel's security in any way. Still I think the solution to this conflict is obvious.

For every fired from Gaza, the Israelis should respond by firing their own rockets at the suspected lauch sites...wherever they are located. Given that the Israelis possess the MLRS, which can completely obliterate 1 square km with twelve rockets and submunitions, I suspect the Gazans would lose interest in firing rockets pretty quickly.
The Hamas rocketeers fire their rockets from the large empty fields outside Gaza near the borders. They light the fuses, then leave the scene before the rockets are off the ground.

By the time Israel even knows the rockets have been launched, its too late to strike the launchers. . .they're gone. Hitting the fields where the rockets were launched from accomplishes nothing, but waste expensive munitions.

Gaza is big enough such that Israel can't watch all of it at once. The way the rocketeers operate, there is virtually no way they can be caught in the act of firing, except by pure luck. In the times when Israel has hit some of them, its usually been when they were on their way to a launch and were spotted en-route.

The two-state solution has already resulted in shifting and relocations.

Gaza is now Jew-free; PA controlled areas in the West Bank are no-go zones for Jews. Any Israelis found in those areas (A and B zones) are subject to arrest. The Palestinians are going to have a Jew-free territory. It's what they do.

Try that for a week and see what happens.

They set up the launchers, then use timers to launch the rockets themselves. Meanwhile, they have sent children to retrieve the launchers, so counterbattery fire hits the kids. Of course, they have propagandaists ready to show the injuries, without saying what the kids were doing at the time.

The two-state solution has already resulted in shifting and relocations.

Gaza is now Jew-free; PA controlled areas in the West Bank are no-go zones for Jews. Any Israelis found in those areas (A and B zones) are subject to arrest. The Palestinians are going to have a Jew-free territory. It's what they do.

Well why would they need any Jews around when they got a few Christians to kick around?

Just to throw a little more gas onto the fire (why not): I actually don't see anything necessarily morally wrong with the concept of "expulsion" of a relentlessly hostile population. Hell, several hundred thousand ethnic Germans were expelled from various European countries in 1945-46, and nobody gets too bent out of shape about it. But as we both realize, in this case it just won't happen.

Millions, about 16 million if I recall. There were ethnic German communities stretching as far East as the Urals that had existed for 800 years. All Germans East of the Oder-Niesse line were expelled.

Yup, money to UNRWA - the 60 year old welfare program for "Palestinian Refugees." There were about 750,000 of them after the 1948 war. Under the "Genocidal" Israeli Policies - there are now about 3 Million of them on the world's dole. There were about the same number of Sephardic Jews driven out of the nations of the Arab League. They are called "Citizens" -
of Israel, the USA, Canada, Australia and other nations of the world. They make thir own way, or if they need Public Assistance, get it from the nation of which they are now a citizen.
Give them credit, the "Palestinian Refugees" have been able to keep this Gravy Train running for a long time.

The gravy train includes all the so-called humanitarians like UNRRWA, Jimmi Carter, various other UN agencies and human rights committees who leach off the public dole. Probably several million non-welfare people living off the humanitarian aid racket.

I saw a video a few days ago from inside the New York Times building, and in it there was an editor, or some higher up, who evaluated one of the workers in the lowest of terms, and did so sarcastically with indifference to justice. He was joking, but in a very slimy way. I was disgusted. This guy appeared to have no moral compass and came across as an empty soul. If these are the kind of people who are running left wing news organizations, than I understand why the are impervious to the facts, and I have very little hope for them to see the light regarding justice.

Military Spouses - There's a Difference

by Col Steven Arrington

Nellis Air Force Base

Over the years, I've talked a lot about military spouses ... how special they are and the price they pay for freedom too. The funny thing about it, is most military spouses don't consider themselves different from other spouses. They do what they have to do, bound together not by blood or merely friendship, but with a shared spirit whose origin is in the very essence of what love truly is. Is there truly a difference? I think there is. You have to decide for yourself.

Other spouses get married and look forward to building equity in a home and putting down family roots. Military spouses get married and know they'll live in base housing or rent, and their roots must be short so they can be transplanted frequently.

Other spouses decorate a home with flair and personality that will last a lifetime. Military spouses decorate a home with flare tempered with the knowledge that no two base houses have the same size windows or same size rooms. Curtains have to be flexible and multiple sets are a plus. Furniture must fit like puzzle pieces!

Other spouses have living rooms that are immaculate and seldom used. Military spouses have immaculate living room/dining room combos. The coffee table got a scratch or two moving from Germany, but it sill looks pretty good.

Other spouses say goodbye to their spouse for a business trip and know they won't see them for a week. They are lonely, but can survive. Military spouses say good-bye to their deploying spouse and know they won't see them for months, or for a remote, a year. They are lonely, but will survive.

Other spouses get used to saying 'hello' to friends they see all the time. Military spouses get used to saying 'good-bye' to friends made the last two years.

Other spouses worry about whether their child will be class president next year. Military spouses worry about whether their child will be accepted in yet another new school next year and whether that school will be the worst in the city again.

Other spouses can count on spouse participation in special events such as birthdays, anniversaries, concerts, football games, graduation, and even the birth of a child. Military spouses only count on each other; because they realize that the Flag has to come first if freedom is to survive. it has to be that way.

Other spouses put up yellow ribbons when the troops are imperiled across the globe and take them down when the troops come home. Military spouses wear yellow ribbons on their hearts and they never go away.

Other spouses worry about being late for Mom's Thanksgiving dinner. Military spouses worry about getting back from Japan in time for Dad's funeral.

And other spouses are touched by the television program showing an elderly lady putting a card down in front of a long, black wall that has names on it. The card simply says "Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. You would have been sixty today." A military spouse is the lady with the card. And the wall is the Vietnam memorial.

I would never say military spouses are better or worse than other spouses are. But I will say there is a difference. Our country asks more of military spouses than is asked of other spouses. Military spouses pay just as high a price for freedom as do their active duty husbands or wives. Perhaps the price they pay is even higher. Dying in service to our country isn't near as hard as loving someone who has died in service to our country, and having to live without them!

God bless our military spouses for all they freely give!

re: #510 Occasional Reader

Okay, but again; what should a Gaza Pali "surrender" look like? Honest question here. I can see the first stage, of course; all Hamas leadership turned over, military equipment destroyed. But then? Or maybe that's enough?

Fatah has been helping the IDF identify targets. I suppose the Israelis are hoping to inspire Gazans to support Fatah.

That won't solve the problem long-term, but maybe it will in the short term.

I personally believe that the IDF should do some major "smiting" so that the Gazans know for sure that they had better remain friends with Israel. I think Israel's humane reputation has become a disability.

The U.S. also suffers from the same problem. I like the Marine's motto: "No better friend. No worse enemy."

The Arabs have been trained from birth to think of the Jews as weak and cowardly. They should be disabused of that idea for all time.

Am I a mean bitch? Yes, yes I am.

re: #734 Promethea

Fatah has been helping the IDF identify targets. I suppose the Israelis are hoping to inspire Gazans to support Fatah.

That won't solve the problem long-term, but maybe it will in the short term.

I personally believe that the IDF should do some major "smiting" so that the Gazans know for sure that they had better remain friends with Israel. I think Israel's humane reputation has become a disability.

The U.S. also suffers from the same problem. I like the Marine's motto: "No better friend. No worse enemy."

The Arabs have been trained from birth to think of the Jews as weak and cowardly. They should be disabused of that idea for all time.

Am I a mean bitch? Yes, yes I am.

Well, if the Israelis leave just enough Hamassholes around afterwards, and then pen Fatah and Hamas together, with small arms, they might reduce the problem to a more manageable size on their own.

Pasta and rice both work, they have amazingly deliicate digestive systems, will eat anything, and regret it.

Funnily enough, pasta, being what is called a 'complex carbohydrate' (Ilearned that from my sister!) takes a good time to break down, so they feel full and satisfied and are less bothered about random noises like fireworks.

It apparently also works for insomniacs and makes them sleepy ...

As for dog's digestive systems - I think nothing can beat that of a lab! There is simply nothing they will not eat, rubber gloves included.

Goddess was (of course!) the first to point out that JUICE is not a phonetic misspelling of Jews. The UI is not natural, the CE has an S rather than a Z sound. Also, CE is not a plural ending. Not a natural mistake.

re: #543 Occasional Reader

Just to throw a little more gas onto the fire (why not): I actually don't see anything necessarily morally wrong with the concept of "expulsion" of a relentlessly hostile population. Hell, several hundred thousand ethnic Germans were expelled from various European countries in 1945-46, and nobody gets too bent out of shape about it. But as we both realize, in this case it just won't happen.

Yes, about a quarter of entire German population ! ! !

Also, check out the history on the "exchange" between Greeks and Turks around 1923.

Studying history can be very enlightening. Of course, in our "enlightened" times we don't need to do that. We just need to figure out who is the most "deserving" according to the LLL hierarchy of race, gender, and personal income.

Dogs do eat their vomit if its still recognisable as food - its normal, even if we find it disgusting.

OMG, I had a miniature dachshund eat a bread wrapper and had to have emergency surgery to clear the obstruction. The little sucker had to have eaten it like a snake swallowing it's prey.

This was a standard poodle. I think he'd prefer bread to steak, but the steak would be better for him.

I personally love my name, and it is very archaic. (No, Buzz, it's not Fat). Named my son the third, call him Trey. My wife was dead set against it until my SIL suggested Trey.

My wife is very upset. Found out that boy will be using his real name professionally. (I'm ecstatic!)

Me too. Had we had a boy we were going to use the middle name of Forrest. That was my Grandfather's middle name, and I intended to use it despite the inevitable "Run Forrest, run." jokes. There had been a tradition in our family that the eldest son of the eldest son was named Jonathon F, with the middle name changing but always beginning with an F. I don't know how long that went on but, unfortunately it will stop with my generation. My Grandfather's eldest son never had a boy.

Yes, about a quarter of entire German population ! ! !

Also, check out the history on the "exchange" between Greeks and Turks around 1923.

Studying history can be very enlightening. Of course, in our "enlightened" times we don't need to do that. We just need to figure out who is the most "deserving" according to the LLL hierarchy of race, gender, and personal income.

One reason that India is comfortable with being on Israel's side, despite the pro-Soviet efforts of the Congress party for 50 years, is that they remember the trains of Hindu refugees that left Lahore with thousands of people on board and arrived in Amritsar without a living soul.

Oh, it could be a lot worse. Imagine that for various reasons (stuff kept coming up, and whatnot) you've had to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait to go to the bathroom, until finally the need just hits the point where it won't wait any longer, you make the mad dash to the toilet and get there barely in time and, with the movement already starting, you frantically get your pants down...

And finally, with your butt now parked firmly on the seat, and the movement pushing as hard as it can go, you can already tell it's going to be the kind where the poop comes out as one long, slow, solid log that will wrap itself around inside the bowl several times before the push lets up.

AND RIGHT THEN the beeper goes off!

Years ago I held off a guy (who was assaulting me) with a flare gun I kept in my car for self defense. Problem was it was at a gas station. Had I been forced to fire it might have been splosive...

In addition to the above (and freshly stolen garden vegetables), my sheepdog has taken a liking to my compost pile.
Difficult to tell compost from a turd without close inspection.

Problem for me is that local Jr High inmates will throw half eaten chicken on the sidewalk or kerb. The nose knows and the muzzle dips ad lunges quick, a cooked chicken bone can kill. Fortunately he does let up after trying to argue for five minutes, looks terrible but if I am fast I get to pry his jaws open and reach my hand down his throat to fish things out. He could take my hand off.

re: #893 maddogg

I don't think it was an accident. I have it on good authority that when our troops found a weapons cache in Iraq they didn't always destroy it. But instead planted several rounds that were spiked. That included 7.62x39 ammo, mortars, and other weapons. I think your jihadi found one.

I was leaaning in the direction of the rate he was droping the rounds into the tube, that it may have been a cook off...I like your idea better...get backs are a bitch!

re: #934 Iron Fist

At one point in time, I carried a 12ga flare pistol around. Techinically not a weapon

I once met a conductor on Metro North railroad (NYC-based commuter line) who carried a flare under her jacket for protection. She figured that if anyone got too frisky on the late night drunk run, she'd pop the flare, and have a 1200 degree deterrent.

943 jcm  Tue, Dec 30, 2008 1:20:29pm

re: #934 Iron Fist

Yeah, that was kind of the idea. A 12ga looks huge when it's pointed at you. I figure that thing will look like you could crawl up in it and die. It's technically not a firearm. You can get less-than-leathal rounds for it, but I'd think the 37mm signal flare would be good for most social settings.

At one point in time, I carried a 12ga flare pistol around. Techinically not a weapon, but I wouldn't want to get shot with the damn thing.

Biker gangs in this parts are know for carry bang sticks. Contact fired tube with a 12ga in it, designed for sharks. They'd modify it and have a thumb trigger.

re: #992 ploome hineni

question

how long and how many rockets and how many Israeli dead, before Israel must obliterate gaza?

Israel has been suffering the same endless kind of atrocities since before its existence. There's been literally millions of these murderous cases, and in every single one of the handful of occasions Israel decided to finally take action, it was typically cut short before reaching an absolute crushing victory.

Your question should be different:

Will Israel stick to its promise of "war to the bitter end" Ehud Barak claimed few days back, or will it be more of the same?

I'm afraid I have the answer for you, but lets wait and see if I'll be proven wrong once, this time around.

997 psyop  Tue, Dec 30, 2008 4:36:43pm

I saw this exact sort of thing when I was actively serving.

I remember distinctly one file of gun camera footage. It showed (if you watched the whole, unedited piece) an Apache following several terrorists in Iraq after they had just ambushed a U.S. Military convoy with small arms and RPGs. The terrorists stopped their vehicles to discard the incriminating evidence (RPG tubes and such) in a farmers field.

As they were walking back to their vehicles, the Apache asked for (and got) permission to engage them. There was then several minutes of graphic infra-red footage of explosions and death.

The very last part of the footage (showing only the destruction and death) was used by Michael Moore and others to "show" how the U.S. Military was killing all of those innocent Iraqis. Makes me mad just remembering it.
