The conflict in Gaza has really stirred up the wackos, and they’re pouring their fury into illiterate emails sent to little old me. Here are the latest two messages sent through our contact form by Hamas supporters and Jew-haters; first, from St. Louis, Missouri, with the descriptive title “Assholes…” and the phony but almost humorous return address “americandickheads@yahoo.com:”

You dickheads are shameless… 555+ Palestenian, mostly innocent, killed, and what 5 Israeli’s killed by chance… genocide ongoing in Gaza at the hands of the putrid and horrific Zionist criminals, and you pricks have the NERVE to marginalize and BLAME THE PALESTENIANS for their own deaths?

Then we have a love note sent from Dubai, with the title, ‘Shame on little green “Hitlers”:’

You people are truely sick! It is sicking to see how the little green “Hitlers” are enjoying the Jewish massacare of the Palestinians.

71 Cognito  Tue, Jan 6, 2009 11:23:06am

There are staggering implications of illogic in this little phrase. Implications that sum up the whole conflict, really:

555+ Palestenian, mostly innocent, killed, and what 5 Israeli’s killed by chance...

First: I continue to wonder why the innocent among the "555+ Palestenian" continue to allow the minority of evil actors to remain among them. I do understand that they are strongmen who are difficult to confront for religious, financial, and cultural reasons. But after a while you'd think self preservation would kick in and trump those obstacles.

Second: When you fire rockets into an Israeli city, the residents aren't "killed by chance." Yes, the specific victims may have been random, but that's laughably different from "chance."

Third: I marvel at the implication that because only "what 5" Israelis died, that Israel should then kill, say, five Palestinians. Wouldn't that be lovely. If a man stabs another man in a dark alley, then, is the victim is allowed one return stab before the two part ways?

Baffling. And annoying.

Instead of having actual battles, they had computer simulated attacks and the puters would determine how many people died. After the number was established, that many citizens of the "attacked" nation would be sent into a deatn chamber!

I'm not a military man but mybe a tank round of some kind? Doesn't look like an airstrike as captioned.

Been out of the military for a long time but I know that tank rounds have relatively small penetrators - they make small holes if using armor piercing shot. And if they use high explosive the hole would not be so uniform.
In addition, from the angel it looks like the angle of fire was made from ground level.......

Right.
If you lob unguided rockets at a populated area long enough you might kill someone, eventually.
Apparently these letter writers want Hamas to have more accurate missiles so they can kill on a par with the IDF.
As if that would make them ''happy.''
Nothing will make them happy.
IF they ever disolve Israel they will be mad that Jews exist elsewhere.
IF they ever get rid of all Jewry they will be mad that some infidels are still free.
IOf they enslave/kill all the infidels they will be mad at their own differences.

156 LGoPs  Tue, Jan 6, 2009 11:38:16am

The key difference between the two sides can be summed up as such:
When Hamas aims at a target and hits an Israeli soldier, it's an accident - they missed the intended target.
When the IDF aims at a target and hits a civilian, it's an accident - caused by the force of the explosion (collateral damage if you will).

It all boils down to your aiming point. One side aims at civilians and occasionaly hits a soldier; the other side aims at soldiers/fighters and occasionally hits a civilian.

One side is just plain evil while the other is responding justly.

Those people know it's not a full-on war, with a truly widespread bombing campaign. For now, apparently, they view the 'war' as television you can smell.

"...Tony Blair announced that he had accepted the position of the official envoy of the Quartet, the same day he resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and as a Member of Parliament on 27 June 2007.[3] The approval came after initial objections by Russia.[4] The United Nations is overseeing the finances and security of his mission.[5] In January 2008, it was announced that Tony Blair would become employed by J.P. Morgan Chase, reportedly for $1 million. When the UN was asked by a reporter if this might be a conflict of interest, the UN spokesperson said, "Ask Tony Blair." [6]


[edit] Peace efforts and actions by the Quartet
Tony Blair has periodically travelled to the Middle East following his appointment as Special Envoy. On a trip there in March 2008, he met with Israeli leaders to discuss recent violence. A planned meeting between Israeli and Palestinian businessmen was postponed due to recent fighting.

I will repeat this again for all those useful idiots who feel compelled to email Charles with such idiocy.

But for Hamas firing rockets into Israel, Israel would not have been compelled to go after Hamas in Gaza.

But for Israel's existence, Hamas would not be firing those rockets.

Hamas exists with one goal in mind - destroy Israel. It will do anything imaginable to make that happen.

The thousands of rockets fired into Israel are done with the intent to kill and murder Israelis. That's their goal, and the Hamas terrorists ululate wildly when they're successful at killing Israelis, especially civilians and kids.

Hamas surrounds themselves with civilians to maximize the body count. The terrorist group seeks to maximize the civilian carnage and to make a bad situation even worse - attacking the Israeli facilities that provide humanitarian aid to Gaza and even the Israeli power stations that light Gaza so that Hamas can get the Palestinians to curse the dark.

The Hamas leaders do so from the comfort of Damascus and their underground bunkers when they're not surrounded by kids and women who are forced to do so.

1. Denial

4. Despair

They are just on the road to accepting reality.

re: #217 Killgore Trout

From this video....

...it appears to be 3-4 males in their 20's and one guy in his 40's were killed outside. Just enough for a mortar crew.

I'm always amazed it takes at least twelve people to carry an injured person or corpse.

Perhaps they could grow the economy in Gaza by concentrating on building fireworks instead of rockets...more people working and at less time getting into trouble.

I didn't know either. My hero Spain's Aznar dreamed up this idiotic "Madrid Quartet" as it's also called. Horrible. And today Spain's King Juan Carlos is bleating about peace in the middle east instead of telling Hamas to just shut up.

Same King who told Chavez to shut up, folds for Hamas. Wimp.

re: #244 lawhawk

I will repeat this again for all those useful idiots who feel compelled to email Charles with such idiocy.

But for Hamas firing rockets into Israel, Israel would not have been compelled to go after Hamas in Gaza.

But for Israel's existence, Hamas would not be firing those rockets.

Hamas exists with one goal in mind - destroy Israel. It will do anything imaginable to make that happen.

The thousands of rockets fired into Israel are done with the intent to kill and murder Israelis. That's their goal, and the Hamas terrorists ululate wildly when they're successful at killing Israelis, especially civilians and kids.

Hamas surrounds themselves with civilians to maximize the body count. The terrorist group seeks to maximize the civilian carnage and to make a bad situation even worse - attacking the Israeli facilities that provide humanitarian aid to Gaza and even the Israeli power stations that light Gaza so that Hamas can get the Palestinians to curse the dark.

The Hamas leaders do so from the comfort of Damascus and their underground bunkers when they're not surrounded by kids and women who are forced to do so.

Every now and again I want to send by email, a comment, in the same manner one can send an entire thread (with the email function). This is one of those times. Maybe one day Charles will add such a function.

Is that Armor Piercing or a kinetic weapon?

You've probably heard of depleted uranium being used in shells. Well, that's the type of baby it's used in. A small, extremely-dense core riding in a sabot, or shoe. The shoe/sabot flies off when the projectile leaves the barrel. The high-mass core travels at very high velocity. Penetration through armor creates a spray of molten metal on the other side.

I believe a sabot round works by spraying molten uranium inside an armored vehicle, with the molten uranium created by the force of the sabot round itself as it penetrates the vehicle. Since the concrete of the building is thinner and weaker than the armor protection of a tank or apc, how likely is it that the sabot round would even melt and might actually pass through the other side of the building?

And requires a hit on armor to really be effective. Sabot round effective turns molten after punch a small hole in the armor, showering the interior of the armored vehicle with molten, highspeed metal. Concrete would not present enough resistance to "activate" a Sabot round in that manner, just punch a very small hole, in several walls till it ran out of energy.

In our textbook, there is a selection from Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.. I explained that one of the unintended consequences of banning DDT was the deaths of millions in African nations from malaria. Then we talked about other discoveries and inventions that could have adverse effects and how ultimately it will be up to them--voting in 3 or 4 years--to decide how to manage them.

I got lost, but if it's this pic we are discussing, I have two questions:
1) wouldn't it have to be a really short tank that
2) somehow drove up a rather narrow street?

... and if that's not it, why would anybody stand that near a building and fire a bazooka point blank, sabot round or not?

Yes. That pic, and another further-back pic. We can't see off to the right. Perhaps that cross-alley goes much further that way.

OT

I just wanted the Lizard Nation to know that I've done my part to reverse some of the liberal indoctrination.

In our textbook, there is a selection from Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.. I explained that one of the unintended consequences of banning DDT was the deaths of millions in African nations from malaria. Then we talked about other discoveries and inventions that could have adverse effects and how ultimately it will be up to them--voting in 3 or 4 years--to decide how to manage them.

Ding, ding! It's comforting to know there are still good teachers. I fondly remember just a few of my teachers. If you had been one of my teachers, I certainly would remember you that way. I'm sure you'll have several that will remember you fondly also. Keep up the good work, we need you out there.

re: #327 Leonidas Hoplite

I believe a sabot round works by spraying molten uranium inside an armored vehicle, with the molten uranium created by the force of the sabot round itself as it penetrates the vehicle. Since the concrete of the building is thinner and weaker than the armor protection of a tank or apc, how likely is it that the sabot round would even melt and might actually pass through the other side of the building?

A sabot round would cut through every wall of that building and just keep on going.

re: #361 bulwrk

If you are firing at a building you suspect may be storing weapons I'd assume the concrete may be reinforced.

Standard tank HE or AP with delayed fuse. Sabots are inert, no explosive it's purely a kinetic energy weapon. It needs to be stopped rapidly to transfer that energy to a target, armor does that, not much else, it needs the metals of the armor target to add to the molten stuff flying around. Concrete won't go molten just a shatter and make some shrapnel.

These are the useful idiots or children of the useful idiots who were certain to their core that the Soviet Union was a workers utopia. Even when they saw people shot to death for trying to escape the socialist utopia they KNEW they were right. These are the useful idiots or children of the useful idiots who were certain to their core that Cuba got it right and were on the right track even if the Soviet Union has "made a few mistakes". They know there have never been democratic multi-party elections since Castro "liberated" Cuba. They know Cubans are sent to mental institutions for speaking against the government because a person would have to be crazy not to love Castro. These useful idiots are programed to always pick the wrong side. Even after it becomes obvious that their socialist hero-states such as Russia and China and Cuba and Zimbabwe and each and every other socialist state has been proven to be evil, corrupt and stifling, beyond any reasonable doubt, these useful idiots and their progeny still make excuses and rush to support the next wrong thing. And so it is with Hamas. It is my wish that every left wing looney has the opportunity to be a part of a Hamas run community. May they enjoy first hand Hamas democracy. May they enjoy first hand Hamas gay rights. May they enjoy first hand Hamas gender equality. May they enjoy first hand Hamas effective governance. May they enjoy first hand the respect that Hamas pays to non-muslims. May one of Hamas’ peace projectiles give them what they would give to Israelis.

In the totalitarian child death cult that is Hamas there are no people. Everyone is a propaganda tool. Children have no real value to a Muslim that is a member of Hamas. Or to anyone that supports Hamas. Or to any media outlet that passes Hamas propaganda on unfiltered. Or to any international body like the UN that fails to declare the warcrimes that Hamas commits and to act against them aggressively.

The local media here from the pulizter prize winning fool named David Horsey to the main media TV anchors all give their silent consent to the death cult activities.

Your nutty crunchy pro palestinian westerners? Yes they are all in favor of using kids as death pawns. They show their support for it every protest. They all love it.

re: #476 MandyManners

Here's some more reading about it:

The Hamilton Watch Company was among the first to clock in at 10:10; that time is favored in ads dating at least as far back as 1926. Rolex began consistently setting watches in ads at 10:10 in the early 1940s. Timex appears to have begun the transition in 1953, when its Ben Hogan model showed 8:20 while the Marlin model was set to 10:10.

It's always 10:10 in watch ads.

However, oddly enough, the second hand might be anywhere, which I also feel is weird. I mean, if they take enough effort to set the watch the most astetically pleasing hour and minute, why not always have the second hand on the 12 or wherever is best.

According to a reliable source, the reason is purely aesthetic. A watch reading 10:10 has a clean, symmetrical look. Also, the hands don't obscure the watchmaker insignia, which is usually located directly below 12 o'clock.

A bit OT, but an interesting article by British scientists saying that suicide rates after the 7/7 and 9/11 terror attacks dropped as folk showed the 'Blitz spirit' by pulling together to support one another:

[Link: www.telegraph.co.uk...]

"British scientists analysed the suicide rate in England and Wales after the September 11th attacks in America and again after the July 7th bombings in London.

After both attacks the number of suicides dropped by 40 per cent.

Dr Emad Salib, consultant psychiatrist and senior lecturer at Liverpool University, said any tragedy on a national scale such as a natural disaster, war or bombing brings society together in a common cause and this leads to the drop in suicides.
...
..
Dr Salib said: "People may have been stronger, they had lived through it before with the IRA and knew they could cope."

The findings are published in the British Journal of Psychiatry.

Writing in the journal Dr Salib and Dr Cortina-Borja said: "The shock value of suicide terrorism and its psychological potency appear to diminish over time as the tactic becomes overused."

re: #453 unrealizedviewpoint

Palestina was the Roman word for Land of Stones. They renamed it Palestina after driving many Jews out of Judea. There is a common misunderstanding that the "Palestinians" of today are the descendants of the Biblical Philistines. This is false. The Philistines were a Greek speaking people, related to the Cretans & the Phoenicians. They died out around 500 BC, some 1200 years before the Arab conquest of Jerusalem. The Arabs never used the term "Palestine" to describe that land and never considered it a national home of anybody. There has never been an independent Arab state on the land whether it was named "Palestine" or anything else. The territory was ruled as a province of Syria. Then the Turks conquered the land and it became a province of the Ottoman Empire. After WWI, & the defeat of the Turks, the British were given a mandate over the land and the name "Palestine" was once again employed for the specific reason it did not refer to any specific ethnic or religious group, but to the land only. When in 1947, the UN resolution partitioned the land into a Jewish Palestine & Arab Palestinian states, the Arabs rejected it. The president of the Arab League famously remarked, "There is no such thing as a Palestinian, there is only the Arab nation."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation.

German billionaire kills self, family says

Merckle, 74, was hit by a train in the southwestern town of Ulm, police said.

His family said the economic crisis had "broken" Merckle.

He was number 94 on the Forbes list of the world's richest people. He had fallen from number 44 on the Forbes 2007 rich list as his fortune declined from $12.8 billion to $9.2 billion in 2008.

I'm not going to question this guy's sanity but I think most here would be happy to be in the position to lose 3.5 billion dollars. It's still sad, I'm just sayin'.

565 jester6  Tue, Jan 6, 2009 12:35:09pm

OT (but hopefully it will lift your spirits).

I don't think any rational person would try argue 2008 was a better environment for the Republicans than 1992.

The incumbent's popularity in polls
Controversy surrounding the elections of 2000 and 2008
The Gulf War vs. The Iraq War
Economy
Stock Market Crash
Bailout
Katrina Debacle
The bias of the press
etc

All of these items were wind at the back of the Democrats in 2008. Even if Obama had not been anointed savior by the MSM, the Democrats had a huge advantage in 2008. So what did that advantage give them in 2008 that they did not have in 2002:

1992 Clinton won 370 Electoral Votes
2008 Obama won 349 Electoral Votes

1992 House makeup 258 Dem - 176 Rep - 1 Ind
2008 House makeup 257 Dem - 176 Rep

1992 House Makeup 57 Dem - 43 Rep
2008 House makeup 57 Dem - 40 Rep - 2 Ind

Common wisdom - as expounded by the MSM - is that the Dems have a mandate of historical proportions. And Judging from the rule changes the Dems are proposing in the House and Senate the Dems are drinking their own Koolaid. Here's hoping for a monumental over-reach by the Dems.

Israel and the IDF need to go at it harder. Not enough of the Hamas bums are out of action yet. It would be a success to me when Fatah is able to assert force and clean up Gaza in the aftermath. That probably means Fatah will be executing Hamas members right and left. If Fatah or Israel think they can leave Hamas roots intact and have a better future they are mistaken.

First thing is to get Hamas kids into schools and mosques that give them a proper non violent education. Will be tough finding a mosque there to do that probably.

After the head of Hamas (from hiding) ordered Jewish children worldwide to be targeted this happened so far:
Attacks reported against Jews and synagogues in France, Sweden and Britain.

*Assailants rammed a burning car into the gates of a synagogue in Toulouse, in southwest France, Monday night.

*A Jewish congregation in Helsingborg, in southern Sweden, was attacked Monday night by someone who "broke a window and threw in something that was burning," said police spokesman Leif Nilsson.

*And on Sunday slogans, including "murderers ... You broke the cease-fire," were daubed on Israel's Embassy in Stockholm.

*In Denmark, a 27-year-old Dane born in Lebanon to Palestinian parents is alleged to have injured two young Israelis last week in a shooting police suspect could be linked to the Gaza crisis.

*Belgium ordered police in Antwerp and Brussels to be on increased state of alert" Tuesday after recent pro-Palestinian protests ended in violence and arrests.

*Jews in the small Strasbourg suburb of Lingolsheim in eastern France woke up Tuesday to find graffiti with words like "assassins" spray-painted on the outside walls of their synagogue.

*In Britain, the Community Security Trust, a Jewish defense group, said it had seen a rise in anti-Semitic incidents since the start of Israel's offensive against Gaza. The group said it recorded 20-25 incidents across the country in the past week — a sizable increase from 2-3 incidents usually reported to the group over the Christmas-New Year period.

Police are investigating an arson attempt Sunday on a synagogue in north London. Assailants splashed liquid on the door and set it on fire.

No, we have the EVIDENCE that illustrates with sickening clarity that the PALESTINIANS routinely place so called civilians in harms way for the specific purpose of creating gut wrenching dramas in the hope that they can illicit world sympathy. They fire missiles and mortars into Israeli territory and send human bombs into crowded public places to kill and injure as many Israelis as they can. They do this to kill AND to force a deadly response. It's a horribly effective tactic that continues to work because there are morally blind fools that buy into it. The Palestinians are victims of their own hatred of life. They squander their freedom and their talents on darkness. They doom themselves.

No sympathy for evil.

I would agree the entire Clinton Administration had an adverse effect on our country for their dereliction of duty--asleep at the wheel while on the "Path to 9/11".

I totally missed the "asleep at the wheel" part, because I was trying to unlearn the new morality that came home from high school every day.

After an investigation that took place over the past hour it has been found that amongst the dead at the Jabalya school were Hamas terror operatives and a mortar battery cell who were firing on IDF forces in the area. Hamas operatives Imad Abu Askhar and Hassan Abu Askhar were amongst terrorists that were identified to be killed.

Exactly... Big trouble. Basically the ability for House Republicans to amend bills and possibly kill them will be taken away following passage of the House Rules.

It's up to the 41 GOP Senators to prevent a legislative bloodbath.

Precisely my reasons for my open letter to the Senators.

Honorable Senator,

This open letter is addressed to Senators who believe their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America is above party politics, personal prestige, or career advancement.

Once again a few men and women stand upon a pivot of history. Once again a mere handful will determine the fate of nations and people. This time the burden falls on your shoulders, the decisions you make in the next two years will determine whether the Constitution of the United States of America stands, or is irreparably changed.

You, a United States Senator sought high office. You took an oath to uphold, defend, and protect the ideals set forth in the Constitution. You’ve chosen this place and time to serve, history and posterity calls you now to do your sworn duty.

President Elect Obama and the Democrat party have set forth the agenda. Many parts of this agenda are not only in direct opposition to the Constitution, they undermine the spirit, values, and intent of the Constitution.

It is your sworn duty to stand in opposition to this agenda. This agenda is an assault on Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The assault on our foundational rights includes but is not limited to direct legislative, administrative and judicial restrictions on the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the inalienable right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

A coalition of groups that often unite in protest against Israel has been touting the protests as a response to Israel's "massacre of Palestinians." As in the past, demonstrators have used these rallies to express extreme anti-Israel and anti-Zionist messages, to engage in anti-Semitic rhetoric and offensive Holocaust imagery likening Jews and Israelis to Nazis, as well as to express support for terror.

This is old joke:

What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup? Well, the outcome is dependent on your cultural proclivities:

The Italian throws the cup, breaks it, and walks away in a fit of rage.

The German carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.

The Frenchman takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.

The Chinese eats the fly and throws away the coffee.

The Russian drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge.

The Israeli sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea, and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.

Ah, but what does the Palestinian do with his fly infested coffee? I thought you’d never ask…
- - - - - - - - -

The Palestinian blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, the German and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of tea to the Palestinian.

Note: the war weary Israeli was wearing full body armor, so he lived to tell us this tale.

More open anti-Semitism in Eurostan:

That makes total sense. Let's be prejudice against the Jewish children and say it's for their own safety because WHO can't be trusted? The Palestinians.

A number of school administrators have come forth in recent days to confirm that they recommend Jewish children should not enrol at their schools.

According to school administrators, law enforcement officials and social workers, the on-going conflict in Gaza has led to heightened tensions between Jews and Arabs - particularly Palestinians - here in Denmark.

And although few headmasters of schools have faced the situation, most of those at schools with a high percentage of children of Arab descent say they try to prevent Jewish parents from enrolling their children there.

On Monday, headmaster Olav Nielsen of Humlehave School in Odense publicly admitted he would refuse Jewish parents' wish to place their child at his school.

The comments were made following an incident last week in which two Israeli citizen's were shot and wounded at a city shopping centre. Police believe the incident was a reaction to the Gaza conflict.

How about not enrolling violent children for the safety of those who actually desire to get an education. What a novel idea.

I've been disturbed to see how the email comments in the Wapo have been running about 20-1 in favor of Hamas/Israel's destruction. Then I realized that many of the letters appeared to be from Europe, predominantly the UK. I guess that is what happens when you financially support radical Islamists, their many wives and children on the dole. You get thousands of haters with nothing better to do than to get to work and drum up their supporters (like the Muslim students organizations and International Answer) to protest in every forum possible, against Israel, and the U.S. It will always be in the nature of leftists to be collectivists/activists, so they generally get a far better public showing than conservatives.

The result from leftists is always more innocent deaths, since the more civilians Hamas murders, the more the left will rise up to beg the world to leave the thugs alone to get on with their agenda. Very effective.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I take no joy in the killing of Arab children. It's tragic that they're put in harm's way.

I hardly think anyone here has expressed anything remotely like "joy" over the idea.

Anger, at Hamas using them as human shields? Yes. Joy? No.

Actually, Egypt is no fan of Hamas and has kept their border with Gaza closed. However, Egyptian police & border guards are like anybody else in Egypt, corrupt and open to bribes. Or threats. Or both. So they look the other way when Hamas smuggles in weapons. Every once in a while the Egyptian authorities catch some smugglers and make a show of it for appearance sake. They don't really want Hamas to get more powerful, but on the otherhand, they serve a purpose.

I've been disturbed to see how the email comments in the Wapo have been running about 20-1 in favor of Hamas/Israel's destruction. Then I realized that many of the letters appeared to be from Europe, predominantly the UK. I guess that is what happens when you financially support radical Islamists, their many wives and children on the dole. You get thousands of haters with nothing better to do than to get to work and drum up their supporters (like the Muslim students organizations and International Answer) to protest in every forum possible, against Israel, and the U.S. It will always be in the nature of leftists to be collectivists/activists, so they generally get a far better public showing than conservatives.

The result from leftists is always more innocent deaths, since the more civilians Hamas murders, the more the left will rise up to beg the world to leave the thugs alone to get on with their agenda. Very effective.

i think europe wants to fall, they rolled over without a fight to the nazis and they will do the same with the islamists, they are a bunch of evil nhilists

Has Hamas already gone belly up as their terror masters have tossed the cellphones and all connections to the jihadi cells still running amok in Gaza? Reports seem to suggest that there's no one in charge - other than Israel at the moment.

With Hamas thugs still on the loose, I'd say that Hamas could still reconstitute and pose an enduring threat. The time is still ripe to lay down a world of hurt on the remaining Hamas.

BTW, the IDF has specifically named two Hamas thugs killed in the midst of the school that was involved in the earlier incident because they were firing on Israel.

After an investigation that took place over the past hour it has been found that amongst the dead at the Jabalya school were Hamas terror operatives and a mortar battery cell who were firing on IDF forces in the area. Hamas operatives Imad Abu Askhar and Hassan Abu Askhar were amongst terrorists that were identified to be killed.

I've reached the point that I consider these kids as future terrorists anyway. Maybe they should be sickened, at least at my attitude. Certainly others here don't share this view and I hate to see everyone tainted by me so I don't express this view often. Nevertheless Israel isn't trying to kill civilians whereas it is a stated goal of Hamas so if they are sickened by me I am just as sickened by their support of those monsters.

The economics as well as the technology shift should work to reduce the demand for low end watches as young people and the vast majority get out of the habit, I would therefore expect SWATCH and similar basic watches to go away. On the other hand high end watches that are worn as a symbol of quality consumption, such as Rolex, Patek Phillipe and Hamilton, should see an increase in demand. The economic downturn also will tend to increase the overall demand for luxury goods. News stories that imply that celebrities and the very rich are downsizing so as not to appear insensitive during a recession are hogwash.

"Hamas Is Not Just a Threat to Jews

Meanwhile, proxies seeking to impress or outdo the ruling regime in messianic fervor have been given license to terrorize with impunity in the Strip. Jihadia Salafiya, a so-called Islamic outreach movement, which was only able to establish its “military wing” following the Hamas coup, is quite candid about its zero-tolerance attitude towards sharia trangression. In May 2007, militants attacked a United Nations-run school for the crime of allowing its students to participate in co-ed athletics. A month later, the group desecrated Gaza’s Latin Church and stole academic equipment from the adjacent Rosary Sisters School. And in October 2007, Rami Ayyad, director of Gaza’s only Christian bookstore, which has previously been firebombed, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds, his body bearing signs of torture. Though no group took reponsibility for his murder, Jihadia Salafiya’s chief spokesman Sheik Abu Saqer had this to say in an interview with the New York Sun:

I expect our Christian neighbors to understand the new Hamas rule means real changes. They must be ready for Islamic rule if they want to live in peace in Gaza… Jihadia Salafiya and other Islamic movements will ensure Christian schools and institutions show publicly what they are teaching to be sure they are not carrying out missionary activity….Also the activities of Internet cafes, pool halls and bars must be stopped. If it goes on, we’ll attack these things very harshly.

What this indicates is a fully Talibanized statelet on the Mediterranean, doubly appalling when one considers that Palestinian Christians — who number in Gaza about 3,000 of the total population of 1.5 million — have for decades been at the forefront of Palestinian rights advocacy in the West. Can it ever be emphasized enough that under any future Hamas-run “Islamic State of Palestine,” Hanan Ashrawi, Rashid Khalidi, and Edward Said (were he still alive) would be designated second-class citizens, if not outright refused the right of return?"

You get thousands of haters with nothing better to do than to get to work and drum up their supporters (like the Muslim students organizations and International Answer) to protest in every forum possible, against Israel, and the U.S. It will always be in the nature of leftists to be collectivists/activists, so they generally get a far better public showing than conservatives.

The result from leftists is always more innocent deaths, since the more civilians Hamas murders, the more the left will rise up to beg the world to leave the thugs alone to get on with their agenda. Very effective.

That is also the game plan of the leftist MoveOn types here in the US as they push the moonbatic policies of the acid-dropping left here in AMerica.

I'd been wondering when we'd hear from Zawahiri. Well, here he goes...

We will never stop until we avenge the death of all who are killed, injured, widowed and orphaned in Palestine and throughout the Islamic world," said Ayman al-Zawahiri in a new 10-minute audio recording released today on extreme Islamist Web forums.

The message is entitled "The Massacre in Gaza and the Siege of the Traitors".

Zawahiri refers directly to President-elect Barack Obama saying he has partnered with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, whom Zawahiri labels as a traitor to Islam.

So, let's see - Zawahiri still considers the US as the enemy, and that Obama isn't going to be treated any different than President Bush.

The mention of Mubarak makes sense, since Mubarak imprisoned Zawahiri and Zawahiri led the Muslim Brotherhood there before joining up and forming al Qaeda.

Oh yeah, and the stock death to Israel, infidels, and everyone who kills Muslims. Dirka dirka jihad stuff...

From the report:
'Reports say Hamas takes a cut out of all aid that arrives, including flour and medicine. Supplies intended to be distributed without gain among the population is seized by the group and sold to the residents, at a profit to the Hamas government.
One such incident was recorded Monday, when a convoy of trucks carrying supplies through the Kerem Shalom crossing was opened fire upon and seized by Hamas gunmen. Similar incidents occurred with trucks carrying fuel. '

# In the short program at the 1993 U.S. Championships, Harding had to ask permission from the referee to restart her program after the back of her dress came unhooked as she began to skate.

# At 1993 Skate America, Harding stopped midway through her free skate and complained to the referee that her skate blade had become loose. She was allowed to resume her program after her blades were checked by a skate technician.

# The medal ceremony at the 1994 U.S. Championships had to be delayed because Harding could not be found backstage after the competition.

# At the Hamar Olympic Amphitheatre during the 1994 Winter Olympics, Harding almost failed to appear on the ice when her name was called for the free skating because she was scrambling to replace a broken shoelace. The replacement shoelace turned out to be too short, and after missing the opening jump in her program she again had to ask the referee for permission to find a new lace

What is the UN waiting for? Deploy a strong force to Gaza
by Maj. Gen. Lewis Mackenzie, from Tuesday's Globe and Mail

In my opinion, the Israeli-Hamas conflict is the only one in the world where there is no hope whatsoever of the participants resolving the key issues on their own, by any means. Hamas makes no secret that, aided and abetted by Iran, it is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. Any idea of a ceasefire in the current fighting leading to a change in Hamas's dedication to Israel's elimination is naive to the extreme. Any cessation of hostilities, no matter how temporary, will be used by Hamas to enhance its weapons arsenal in preparation for the next round of terrorist attacks against its neighbour.

On their own, Israel and Hamas are doomed to a perpetual state of war no matter how much international diplomatic horsepower is applied to resolving the conflict. But there is a solution that the world has been adroitly avoiding for 40 years.

Israel deserves security. Its population is prepared to live in peace with its neighbours providing they aren't dedicated to its extermination. If Israel deals with the threat from Hamas on its own, the situation will not improve over the long term - Hamas will simply resuscitate itself and carry on with its terrorist actions against Israel. The Security Council needs to show some rare backbone and authorize a strong UN force under the UN Charter's Chapter 7, which authorizes the use of deadly force as necessary, and deploy it within the Gaza Strip, taking on the responsibility to provide the security to which Israel is entitled.

The force would need to be strong enough to interdict weapons smuggling by sea, land (including by tunnel) and air from outside sources, to eliminate rocket attacks on Israel, to stop suicide bombers through use of border controls and, most important, to be strong enough militarily to take on Hamas if need be. The oft-expressed idea of putting international monitors into the Gaza Strip to control smuggling and the firing of rockets is ludicrous: Hamas would run rings around any unarmed outsiders whose only mandate was to "observe and report." Such monitors wouldn't even qualify as yet another Band-Aid solution.

McKenzie is no fool, and he makes a good argument for a UN force, but there are two problems with the idea. The first problem is that if one agrees to start negotiating with the UN to provide a force with aggressive ROE, by the time the force is deployed caveats from contributing member states will undermine the original idea. The UN force will be reduced to monitoring the borders but forbidden to act. The second problem is the question of who exactly will form the force? US troops? European? Arab states? US troops will be views as allies of the Zionist enemies. Europeans
will be hobbled by caveats and have "mixed" loyalties. Arab states will simply help Hamas.

A UN force is not a realistic or viable solution in Gaza, no matter how well it worked in Cyprus. In fact, UN peacekeeping missions have only ever worked when both side genuinely want peace, but need help learning to trust each other. That necessary precondition does not exist in Gaza.

Wow..the first one can't even spell Palestinian

One thing I can't help but notice when I see the zombie pictures and even local protests here in Florida, especially on campus, is how each side goes about it. The Palestinian supporters have pictures of swastikas, maimed bodies, racial slurs, etc. and they all scream profanities wildly and wear masks. Then we have the Israeli supporters who are always rational human beings.

re: #450 buzzsawmonkey

For now, let me merely point out what Cohen does not; that the simple desire for kids to be able to freely swim in a lake is something which, by the very deceptiveness of its simplicity, something that looks like less than "justice, pride and myth"--but is in actuality much more--for that is the dream of people living at peace to pursue their own destinies without molestation by murderous fanatics. It is a goal greater than any held by Hamas, and is in fact a goal which Hamas fears, precisely because there is no place for the genocidal mania of Hamas in a world where kids can freely swim in a lake without being indoctrinated in the beauty of murdering their neighbors.

Bravo Buzz! Yasher koach. See the essay here:

Now wait just a minute! I thought most hard core [bigoted word]s wanted to live a lifestyle like the prophet himself. I worked with a brain damaged "revert" (I really find this terminology insulting) who refused to fly on airplanes because ol' mo himself didnt fly. Hell, he didn't have the internet, electricity, bombs, cable tv, or cell phones either. If these people really want to live like tenth century bedouin neanderthals they need to practice what they preach.

Then again, the prophet (of what I dunno) didnt have spell check either.

I'm not a student of history, so I went a lookin' for some information on the recent (last 100 years) situation with Israel and Palestine. I ran across this site, could someone provide some feedback:

[Link: www.masada2000.org...]

Judging from the name of the site and a few comments on the web page, I would believe that this is from an Israeli perspective. How accurate is this time line and information?
It does seem to correlate with Wikipedia.

Let's ignore the thousand of rockets the ROP has fired into Israel, just like most of the MSM.

985 Ty85719  Tue, Jan 6, 2009 3:11:35pm

Oh, those silly Jew-haters! Don't they know that there is no such thing as a "Palestinian," and you cannot massacre a group of people who do not exist?

re: #528 jwb7605

As I recall in the Clinton Administration, instructions on how to masturbate was introduced into the school system.

I wonder if that announcement was made on the 6:00 news during the dinner hour. That would make for an interesting discussion with the kiddies.

988 So?  Tue, Jan 6, 2009 3:32:39pm

I wonder if 555 Israelis had been killed by the the thousands of rockets and mortars fired into Israel would we hear a peep out of these creeps?

Answer. No. No. And No.

re: #975 littleben

Well said, littleben. We realize that it is Israel's grim duty to root out the threat to its very existence, despite the collateral cost to civilians, much of which is the result of deliberate Hamas policy to use civilians as shields.

And, unlike the mainstream media and timorous Western governments, supporters of Israel don't want Hamas to get away with their tactics.

When this is all over, the world needs to come up with a resettlement program for ordinary Gazans to get them out of the living hell Hamas has created for them and get them dispersed into the rest of the world, mostly in other saner Muslim countries (yes, there are a few!).

You people are truely sick! It is sicking to see how the little green “Hitlers” are enjoying the Jewish massacare of the Palestinians

Hamas must be happy. The collateral is increasing. Dying and dismembered Palestinians make great photo ops and propaganda display. Now they can call on the UN and the international community to force Israel to make concessions, claim Israel responded disproportionately, and gather the left wing loonies in calling Israel a global pariah. This has been what they have been waiting for. Fire over rockets, wait for Israel to start killing Palestinians then parade the dead around, all to further their political goals. Palestinian cannon fodder - good for Hamas - good for Islam.

Well I still remember the Palestinians dancing in the streets when over 3000 of our people where killed on 9/11 especially the fat toothless woman. So if they get wiped out I don't care. They are terrorists also. A good terrorist is a dead terrorist. Just call me Honco.

Please Israel kill every terrorists that you can before the 20th - It will be one less person that President Elect Obama will want to talk and listen to. Yes I am a LGF troll but I am beginning to find I have a voice.

re: #127 FloridaAnole

Maybe the emailer is that commenter from the Daily Kos, angry that he was quoted in LGF on the other thread? But little Green Hitlers? That sounds more like Friends of the Earth, or the Committee to Save the Habitat of the Triple Breasted Nutscratcher or somesuch to me.

Actually, there is some tiny U.S. political party who are environmental fascists--yeah, yeah, I anticipate all your jokes!--their logo is actually a Green Nazi-style Swastika. I can't remember what the heck they're called, I only know they exist because our AP U.S. Govt. teacher showed me a website with lots of teeny political parties listed that he was using for a unit.

re: #463 Occasional Reader
Strange you noticed that.
I work on catalogs-- setting watches to 10:10 is like folding sweaters a certain way or dress shirts folded all the same size. The advertisers want the emphasis on the color and style and texture--- no distraction over the set time or the width or proportion of the shirt. You would be surprised to learn of the time and trouble taken over styling and shooting of , say, a Tommy Bahama shirt or an Eddie Bauer dress or necklace. When you look at a photo of a diamond ring, it has been shot two ways-- lit for the diamond, lit for the setting. And then the two images are meticulously merged through Photoshop. Sometimes the head or hand or leg of one model is switched for another. Ever wonder why the thing you order doesn't match up to the thing you receive? In two weeks I'll be working on the Eddie Bauer summer ecommerce stuff again. Argh.

Congratulations! Fear and loathing from extremist whackjobs is always a badge of honor.

By the way, I lost my Zune. If you find one with an extremely bizarre music collection, send it my way and I'll reinburse the postage, et al.
