They were screaming earlier too, I agree. But in those last shots it looks like they were scared and crying (and not just the kids). And that is an improvement on them chanting in victory as they leave. They met some pushback, and it scared them.

9:39 AM MUQATA SCOOP: As first mentioned on this blog at the start of the war, it is now acknowledged that Hamas terrorists are hiding in bunkers built under the Shifa hospital and are connected by tunnels to the rest of Gaza. The Shifa hospital was seriously refurbished and upgraded by Israel for the Gazan residents when Israel still controlled that part of Eretz Yisrael. Many of the terrorists are hiding under Building 2 of Shifa hospital.
Israel built these "bunkers" under the hospital originally as a basement and strong foundation for Building 2 of the hospital (which Israel built). It was meant for the laundry machines and other services.

The Philistines and the Europeans, in fact pretty much everyone but the Israelis have spent so many years watching TV and movies that they now think like the actors they take advice from. They expect a Director to tell the Israelis that the fighting is scheduled for set B on the next street over and that the IDF will oblige them by playing their silly game where it doesn't get in the way.

no no. The ayatollah stated they were free to go to Gaza and go boom.
Iranian officials on Saturday strongly disputed media reports that Iran's top leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini has banned volunteers from leaving the country to carry out suicide bombings against Israel and stressed that the supreme leader meant only that practical obstacles remained for such attackers to get to Gaza.
The officials said The Associated Press misinterpreted Khamenei's comments when he said Thursday that "our hands are tied in this arena." The AP also quoted Khamenei as saying that Iran would assist the militant group Hamas, which is fighting Israel, in other ways.
The Iranian officials said Khamenei's words should not have been interpreted as a ban on such volunteers, but meant that any Iranians would have great practical difficulty in reaching Gaza because of Israel's offensive. The report was used by some Arab television stations.

9:39 AM MUQATA SCOOP: As first mentioned on this blog at the start of the war, it is now acknowledged that Hamas terrorists are hiding in bunkers built under the Shifa hospital and are connected by tunnels to the rest of Gaza. The Shifa hospital was seriously refurbished and upgraded by Israel for the Gazan residents when Israel still controlled that part of Eretz Yisrael. Many of the terrorists are hiding under Building 2 of Shifa hospital.
Israel built these "bunkers" under the hospital originally as a basement and strong foundation for Building 2 of the hospital (which Israel built). It was meant for the laundry machines and other services.

Good morning.
Look for a bad day in the market as the futures are down fractionally, the Nikkei and Hang Seng were down overnight, and the market is generally expecting to hear bad news for a while. Corporations have shifted to a strategy of lowering profit and sales expectations so that any growth will look very good by comparison, trying for a better 2nd half of 2009.
On the positive side, oil futures are now below $40 a barrel which will be a great savings for consumers and should mean more profit for companies as their energy costs should continue to moderate. Even is you lose 5% of sales, if your fuel costs dropped 50% that should mean more profit to the bottom line for the average consumer.
This is looking to possibly be the 2nd longest economic downturn in modern history.
Usually your downturns last 12 to 16 months. This downturn started about a year ago is now is expected to continue until at least the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2009.
Beware of overly pessimistic market pundits. The easiest thing to do right now is to talk about how awful things are seen to be and that it's never going to get better. There are a handful of prognosticators who predicted the downturn and are now seen as geniuses, so everyone is joining in the negative prediction business. If you check the history of the predictors who supposedly got it "right", they predict a downturn every year.
Also, many of these prognosticators support Obama and so want to give him cover for his big spending plans.

Last week we had an a bit of ice, especially on the bridges and overpasses on I-540. There was an 8 car accident on a bridge, and to escape sliding cars two people jumped over the edge of the bridge.
The bridge is 160 feet tall, and is over another roadway, not water. Local people, you'd think that they would've known.
Talk about no good option, jump to your death or be crushed by sliding cars.

Dew fast ones then off for the day
If the report is true, and Khaled Abu Toameh is an excellent reporter with a sterling reputation. The Hamas Gaza leadership has been given an ultimatum by Iran to keep funding or the marriage is over. This is a tough choice. they are getting pounded and their fighting capacity is dwindling by the hour.
They face military defeat or complete annihilation. Not much of a choice is it?
Next point. There are many who claim that Israel had no right to respond and no right to respond the way she did. This is utter manure. Nations have the duty not just a right to defend themselves and they may do so however they wish within the bounds of the laws of war. Hamas was attacking Israel, period. Israel defended herself, period.
Israel is guilty of nothing of the later. the population of Gaza is STILL 1.5 million as it will be after this war. And let it not be forgotten that Hams has caused hundreds of deaths and injuries by directly slaughtering political opponents, even killing wounded in the hospital.
So far the war is being waged as humanely as possible given the circumstances, I do not expect this change.

The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.

Gazacam has always been an Israeli feed, Ms Manners. They went off about 3 hours ago, and are showing studio stuff now-because otherwise, they give Hamas to much info about troop locations, and type of forces. Does that help you make sense of it?

Ch. Ten needed a Fatah camera operator and a Fatah position to film from. A deal was struck. Channel Ten runs pro-Fatah crap for a while, Fatah runs a camera post for Channel Ten for a while.
IDF knew about the deal and pulled the plug when their vehicles came into view.

Apparently, Gaza's Shifa Hospital, is not only a propaganda production studio for Hamas and Mr Martian, it hosts the top Hamashole commanders and serves as the Hamas “payroll department” for said terrorists.
Carl in Jerusalem has more:
I've mentioned several times over the past week that senior Hamas commanders are hiding out in or underneath Gaza's Shifa Hospital. That's the same hospital where the fake atrocity video pictured at left was done.
[Avi Dichter]
"On Saturday, January 10, which is the day salaries are distributed in Gaza, several Hamas commanders who cannot come out of their hiding places were given their salaries at their hiding places. But those commanders who can move around Gaza made their way to Shifa Hospital to receive their salaries."
Regarding Israeli intelligence reports that the Hamas leadership has taken refuge in Gaza's Shifa Hospital, Dichter said that the "Shifa Hospital has long ago ceased to be just a hospital, just as the UNRWA humanitarian and health services in Gaza long ago ceased to be just humanitarian services providing food and medical services."

He was registered in Public School in Indonesia as a Muslim.
He took Koranic studies , which are advanced Islamic studies.
His friends remember the family going to Mosque.
He is a Christian convert now, but it sure looks like he was a Muslim at one time.
Did you or your parents register you into Kindergarten? If it were your parents, were you at the time cognizant of what they put on the registration form? While at that school, did you or the school choose the curriculum?

Yeah I loved the outcry when we deployed a NImitz class to indonesia for the Tsunami relief effort. Why send a warship to help in a humanitarian effort. Well because the Power plant on the ship can probably run half the Island, the Desalinization plant on board can supply more fresh water per day than most of the countries can have shipped over and the 2 dozen Helo's on board which can be used for search and rescue are outstanding not to mention the refuelers and other support ships that accompany any Carrier group.

Just a quick drive by post from the Hilton lobby. First thing that struck me on the way in from the airport last evening was the utter Obamania going on here. His portrait is on everything, billboards, fliers, posters, sweat shirts, even the back of the Metro passes! The preparation for the inauguration is unbelievable, they had an entire dry rehearsal yesterday I understand.

Morning all. God is good. My wife made it through a 7 hour-long hysterectomy last Thursday despite a very scary call from the operating room to ask my permission to remove one of the ovaries that he "didn't like the looks of at all". Of course I said yes and the report was benign, but very scary, nonetheless. They used one of those new DaVinci robots which makes five 1"-long incisions for the entire procedure so I guess that makes up for the 7 hours.

More on the Shifa hospital/propaganda center
9:39 AM MUQATA SCOOP: As first mentioned on this blog at the start of the war, it is now acknowledged that Hamas terrorists are hiding in bunkers built under the Shifa hospital and are connected by tunnels to the rest of Gaza. The Shifa hospital was seriously refurbished and upgraded by Israel for the Gazan residents when Israel still controlled that part of Eretz Yisrael. Many of the terrorists are hiding under Building 2 of Shifa hospital.
Israel built these "bunkers" under the hospital originally as a basement and strong foundation for Building 2 of the hospital (which Israel built). It was meant for the laundry machines and other services.

If there is anyone here who reads Hannah Arendt (as I do), this may interest you. As great a thinker as I believe she was, this is not a flattering portrait.
Some selected excerpts:
Arendt’s need to distance herself from Jews, and especially from Jewish victims, accounts for the ironic tone that has always struck readers of “Eichmann in Jerusalem.” Arendt’s attitude toward Eichmann himself is simply dismissive: her whole characterization of him as a banal bureaucrat, oblivious of the evil he does, is a way of asserting his human and intellectual inferiority. What inflames Arendt, on the other hand, is any attempt by the Jewish witnesses to draw attention to what they suffered. “I hate, am afraid of pity, always have been,” she once told McCarthy, and she mocked anything that appeared to her to be an appeal for pity. “The gist of the background witnesses’ testimony about conditions in the Polish ghettos, about procedures in the various death camps, about forced labor, and, generally, the attempt to exterminate through labor, was never in dispute,” she wrote irritably; “on the contrary there was hardly anything in what they told that had not been known before.” She complained that “the basic mistake” of the trial was that “the Jews want to pour out their sorrow to the world”—though “of course,” she granted, “they have suffered more than Eichmann has.”
[ ]In “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” she points out that the first step in the Nazis’ destruction of the Jews was to make them stateless, in the knowledge that people with no stake in a political community have no claim on the protection of its laws.
This is the insight that makes Arendt a thinker for our time, when failed states have again and again become the settings for mass murder. She reveals with remorseless logic why emotional appeals to “human rights” or “the international community” so often prove impotent in the face of a humanitarian crisis. “The Rights of Man, after all, had been defined as ‘inalienable’ because they were supposed to be independent of all governments,” she writes in “Origins,” “but it turned out that the moment human beings lacked their own government and had to fall back upon their minimum rights, no authority was left to protect them and no institution was willing to guarantee them.” This is exactly what happened in Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and what is happening now in Darfur. Genocide is a political problem, Arendt insists, and it can be solved only politically.
Yet the supreme value that Arendt places on individual pride and aristocratic distance, on intellect and excellence, also sharply restricts the human understanding that must be the basis for any confrontation with political evil, especially the evil of the Holocaust. Too much of life and too many kinds of people are excluded from Arendt’s sympathy, which she could freely give only to those as strong as she was. If, as she wrote, “it is the desire to excel which makes men love the world,” then our love for the world actually makes it harder for us to love the people who inhabit it. This is the dilemma that runs through all Arendt’s writing, demonstrating that what she observed about Marx is true of her as well: “Such fundamental and flagrant contradictions rarely occur in second-rate writers; in the work of the great authors they lead into the very center of their work.” ♦

Zero suffers from two major problems, both probably impossible to overcome at this point:
1) He has never actually been responsible for doing anything in an executive position in his entire life. It's easy to carp and whine from below thinking what the boss does is easy... things are different when _you_ are in command.
2) For all his unicorn rhetoric, there actually isn't any there there.
He can shill platitudes for only so long, a lot of people expect results (especially his supporters)... and no degree of flowery words will make the decision to use troops somewhere for him, nor will it clean up the mess if he blows that choice.

This is fucking hilarious. Kudos to the Czechs.
Britain 'disappears from map of Europe'
The Czech Republic, current holders of the EU presidency, has commissioned a large scale "provocation" for the Brussels building of the Council of Ministers which hosts national leaders during summits.
The installation takes the form of a giant jigsaw map representing the "clichés and stereotypes" of each of the EU's 27 member states by different national artists.
Conservative Roman Catholic Poland is depicted by a sculpture of priests raising the rainbow flag of the gay movement, subverting the iconic image of the American soldiers planting the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima.
France, despite the efforts of President Nicolas Sarkozy to reform its labour laws, is represented by a map of France covered with the inscription "Strike!".
The Netherlands is shown as having sunk beneath the sea in the aftermath of climate change and all that appears above the waves are the minarets of mosques, an explosive reference to the country's high levels of Islamic immigration.
EU officials have expressed concern. "This is very provocative for an official building and does not seem to have been properly discussed in the appropriate forum," said one official. (ya think?)
Alexandr Vondra, the Czech Deputy Prime Minister, has defended the project as a way of confronting prejudice."We have given space for the free expression of artists from 27 countries. Art is to arouse emotions and it is provocative sometimes," he said.

re: #715 Carl in Jerusalem
Good morning everyone,
As lots of you know (because I'm sure you've been voting for me), I've had a comfortable lead in the Best Midsize Blog category at Weblogs. It just got a bit uncomfortable.
This is my blog, Israel Matzav.
Unless you've been watching the numbers, you don't notice that this moonbat is sneaking up on me. For the past couple of hours, he's been bringing in votes at a suspicious pace.
So if you haven't voted for me in the last 24 hours, please go here and vote for Israel Matzav.
No one wants to lose to a moonbat.
Thanks.
Done. Vanquish the moonbat my fellow Lizards.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. I've got updates on my Operation Cast Lead coverage, and just came across a photo showing none other than Dr. Mads Gilbert being received back in Oslo, Norway after spending a few days mugging for the camears in Gaza's hospital. Some humanitarian. He was there long enough to get involved in a propaganda video, mug for the cameras, and then jet back to Oslo to be lauded. Classy.

Wanted: Island caretaker, A$150,000 a
year, minimal duties
THE nine to five grind getting you down?
Feel like a change? How about becoming the caretaker for a tropical island?
Queensland Tourism is looking for a caretaker on Hamilton Island.
They are willing to pay $150,000 a year for someone to work 12 hours a month for six months while carrying out such duties as feeding turtles, watching whales and picking up the island's post.
No academic qualifications are needed, but good swimming skills and a love of snorkelling, scuba diving and other water sports are a must.
A passion for the great outdoors and the ability to speak English are also considered to be an advantage.
If only I could scuba dive........

Yep and everyone who attends college at Notre Dame is Roman Catholic, and all children who attend Catholic High schools must be as well. The choices made for him as a child are not as important to judging a man as the choices he made for himself.
I am not taking issue with that. He is a Christian, his choice.
The Notre Dame Cathoolic analogy really is not on point. If my parents baptize me Catholic, then I am Catholic until I may choose to change my status. He did.

Spenser answer- From Hamas' own mouths ""Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).
"The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "

CoronationInauguration, to help people get across the river from Virginia (seeing as all the bridges will be closed), the Coast Guard has issued an approval for a company to run a water taxi service.Round-trip price: $90.
The Potomac at Georgetown is about 500 yards wide.
Is there a government subsidy for that? Cuz we're in a near depression and people just can't afford it.

re: #708 mich-again
Call me a pessimist for questioning the timing. On January 8th rockets are fired into Israel from Southern Lebanon and the very next day UNIFIL forces "discover" a weapons cache that has been right there under their noses for years. I think UNIFIL already knew about the weapons cache and staged this find to take the heat off of Hezbollah for a while.
how can anyone deny that the UN and it's various agencies are not part of the scheme to surround and threaten Israel with belligerent neighbors...they are derelict in their duties to the point of outright support of terrorist entities....like someone said....Israel should bring charges against the UN and put the shoe on the other foot...it's time the UN explain why it is allowing people to get killed...imo

Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.
Well, there seems to be a connection. The US economy is shrinking and its freezing outside.

Good morning {aussie} and smooches to you!
Now wait a minute - $150k a year for six months work of only 12 hours a month?! That means you work for six months - could do it all in one 12 hour day and you'll get paid $75k - cause they're paying 150 a year but only want someone to work six months.
WHAT'S THE CATCH?! I mean, shoot - $75K for all of 72 hours is over a thousand dollars an hour! (as the crowd "ooohs" and "ahhhs" at realwest's math skills!) LOL!

In the United States, the National Weather Service defines a blizzard as sustained 35 mph winds which lead to blowing snow and cause visibilities of ¼ mile or less, lasting for at least 3 hours. Temperature isn't a factor, and neither is the actual amount of snow that falls.
You can have blizzard conditions without any actual snowfall. See Mt. Washington on a near daily basis for what happens when the winds pick up and the snow that's on the ground starts flying (ground blizzard).

*poof!*
My ears were burning!
{realwest} Morning, hunnie! *smoochie-smooch* We have a loverly wintry day filled with plenty of sinshine and it's bloody cold, too.
Lil Miss was driving me nuts yesterday on account of her cabin fever (poor little thang - I really must be more patient with her when she yells at me) so I stuffed her into her sneaux-suit and out we went.
Well, using the word "went" doesn't accurately describe it. It was more like taking a surly pitbull out for a drag in the detested sneaux-suit and the looks she gave me! Finally, as she grumbled out the door, her sneaux-suit squeekily embarassing her, she glared at me and with a snort, fell to her side in the snow and refused to budge.
I picked her up, took her inside again and she ignored me for most of the afternoon hiding under the ugly sofa. She finally emerged when I said the magic word - "Pupperoni!"
She' so entertaining. :D

That is definitely a terrier. Our Cairn used to hold a grudge for the rest of the day if he had to wear his jacket. If we brought him in and forgot to take it off he would stand stiff as a board in the same spot for 15 minutes or more until we took it off him. Then he would avoid us for the rest of the day. He also used to do the "roll on side and refuse to budge" thing if it was cold.

MSNBC is reporting on the non-story of Israel using white phosphorus rounds. They claim that the Israelis are using them and that civilians have been injured or killed by such attacks. Is that possible? Sure. Who's to blame?
Hamas.
That part gets ignored.
Curiously though is that the Gaza doctors claim that they don't have the expertise to identify the cause of burns that they see. Curious. They make claims but can't identify the cause of the injuries sustained?
Researchers in Israel from the rights group witnessed hours of artillery bombardments that sent trails of burning smoke indicating white phosphorus over the Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza. But they could not confirm injuries on the ground because they have been barred from entering the territory.The chief doctor at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza said he treated several victims there with serious burns that might have been caused by phosphorus. He said, however, that he did not have the resources or expertise to say with certainty what caused the injuries.
Story continues below ↓advertisement %P% your ad hereThe substance can cause serious burns if it touches the skin and can spark fires on the ground, the rights group said in a written statement calling on Israel not to use it in crowded areas of Gaza.
Get rid of Hamas and you wont have Israel shooting into crowded areas - or at all. It's a simple request, but Hamas refuses to surrender. They would instead wish to see everything surrounding them destroyed, taking Gazans with them.

I haven't spoke to her this morning, but ok as of last night. I was suppose to track down a house key today, but we suddenly have 4-5 inches of snow in the metro Denver area, and more coming today, and I don't think it will be smart for me to do anything that includes being on the roads today.
Her keys got lost in the accident (they may be with the totaled rental car, took me all weekend to hunt down where the car was).
She has two ex-roommates who just moved out. They have a key, but over the weekend, they were not being too cooperative on setting up a place I could meet them.
I was going to hunt them down this morning, but not a good idea right now.
Need to get into the house to feed her cats. Her dog was at her girlfriends at the time of the accident (girlfriend was following her in another car, they were returning the rental), so dog is ok.
But I also need some records and stuff from the house.
So, most I can do today is stay on the phone and make some arrangements, cat's will have to wait a day.
I'm going to chock her ex-roommates if they don't start cooperating with me. I have problems with these two bums anyway.

Fellow Lizards. I am in mourning. I just received word that one of my cousins' only child just passed away. No details yet, but Afton (her name) was born with a condition that precluded contact with the regular environment, something to do with allergies to everything.
She was only 26.
Afton's parents homeschooled her and she graduated high school and college early.
That's all I know for now. I will pass along more details as I receive them. Please pray for Afton's family.
{Macker}
I am so very sorry - prayers for her family going up as I write.

re: #958 Kosh's Shadow
I can see 0bama putting US troops in Gaza to "keep the peace"; they'll be less successful than the IDF at stopping terrorism, and they'll prevent Israel from doing anything to stop terrorism.
Same in the West Bank.
Especially since 0bama's foreign policy staff includes people who proposed this.
Will our US military be morphed into a UN-like protector of palestinian terrorists? Will we (on orders by CINC and our new Politburo) stand and watch as they move weapons and dig new tunnels and bunkers, while excoriating Israel for anything she does?

I start Humera in two weeks. The test came back negative for Psoriatic Arthritis, they tested a dry patch of skin and it was not Psoriasis. Looks like RA and will be treated that way. I took a TB test on Friday and they're checking it today.
How have you been?
That sounds like good news (not the RA, of course), but that you don't have those other illnesses. Hope the Humera gives you relief. You don't have any TB symptoms do you? Just a precaution?

I haven't spoke to her this morning, but ok as of last night. I was suppose to track down a house key today, but we suddenly have 4-5 inches of snow in the metro Denver area, and more coming today, and I don't think it will be smart for me to do anything that includes being on the roads today.
Her keys got lost in the accident (they may be with the totaled rental car, took me all weekend to hunt down where the car was).
She has two ex-roommates who just moved out. They have a key, but over the weekend, they were not being too cooperative on setting up a place I could meet them.
I was going to hunt them down this morning, but not a good idea right now.
Need to get into the house to feed her cats. Her dog was at her girlfriends at the time of the accident (girlfriend was following her in another car, they were returning the rental), so dog is ok.
But I also need some records and stuff from the house.
So, most I can do today is stay on the phone and make some arrangements, cat's will have to wait a day.
I'm going to chock her ex-roommates if they don't start cooperating with me. I have problems with these two bums anyway.

When they were still at the house, they spent a lot of time on the phone talking to docs and/or hiding out in the finished basement where they lived.
Sylvia's house has been "broken into" three times since Sept. 2008. I don't believe it, in the sense, I think it was the guys stealing things for cash or pills.
So, I'm glad they are gone, but I don't trust them with the key, especially since Sylvia is out of the house now for an extended time.
I won't be able to get out on the roads today (the snow is getting worst), but if I can't get the key from them by Tues. AM.

Sylvia's house has been "broken into" three times since Sept. 2008. I don't believe it, in the sense, I think it was the guys stealing things for cash or pills.
So, I'm glad they are gone, but I don't trust them with the key, especially since Sylvia is out of the house now for an extended time.
I won't be able to get out on the roads today (the snow is getting worst), but if I can't get the key from them by Tues. AM. I'm calling the police and letting them speak to Sylvia at the hospital and let her explain and then I will break into the house (with all their permissions) and change the lock.
How about an alarm system?

And probably lightly-armed, at that. Armored vehicles? Combat aircraft? Artillery? Those are all so big and mean and scary! We need for our troops to be seen as hopey-changey spreaders of love. Maybe they'll be allowed to carry sidearms... as long as the magazines are removed.
/I hope! I'm being sarcastic
I don't want peacekeepers. I want peace-makers. I want soldiers who will take out terrorists who don't disarm. I want them enforcing law, not just looking the other way and seeking out emergency sex at the drop of the hat as the blue helmets have repeatedly done. I want them showing that they will operate with zero tolerance to any rearming of the terrorists and militias that were operating in those areas of control. Peacekeeping is based on an expectation that the sides with abide by the agreement. Peace-making is based on the expectation that terrorists and evil regimes will not abide by the agreements.

How frustrating. But if you can't get out and about, maybe those two losers can't either.
Well, one of them can't get anywhere, since he is in the hospital as of yesterday for a "reaction" to Percoset (can you say OD), and the other guy is the one with the bad back, and it's very hard for him to drive, although he can (and I have seen him drive).
But, they have friends, that's what bothers me. But I don't think anyone is going to be running around the city much today, snow is coming down hard.

Dore Gold on the false symmetry of UNSC Resolutions
Despite the language of the resolution, most international observers agree that Israeli civilians should not have to face rocket attacks from Hamas in the future, and hence Hamas must halt this activity. But in Resolution 1860 there is a demand of Israel in parallel, "to ensure the sustained reopening of crossing points" between Israel and Gaza. It is as though the cessation of rocket fire and the opening of the crossing points are symmetric demands that are increasingly mentioned in the same breath by commentators. This is like asking for a quid pro quo for Hamas stopping terrorism.
THIS IS moral equivalence at its worst. Israel should not pay anything to get Hamas to stop firing rockets which is an act of outright aggression against the Jewish State.

Israel pounds new Hamas targets, enlists reserves
...Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of firing artillery shells packed with the incendiary agent white phosphorus over populated areas of Gaza. The chemical, used for creating smoke screens and for illuminating battlefields at night, ignites when it comes in contact with oxygen and can cause serious burns and spark fires as it drifts to the ground in long trails of smoke.
Marc Garlasco, a military analyst working for the rights organization, said he witnessed such shelling from the Gaza-Israel border last weekend. He reviewed AP Television News footage on Monday of similar midair fire that he said was white phosphorus.
"You basically have what looks like the head of a jellyfish and the tentacles coming down on fire," he said. "It'll burn for approximately five to 10 minutes, depending on atmospheric conditions and this causes extreme fire and the potential for civilian harm."

They had three sandbag bunkers with machine guns, several snipers on the roof tops and an armored vehicle manned with a 50 caliber machine gun...you can't go home.

Your editorials have been uniformly anti-Israel; denying Israel the right to defend itself. No other country would be criticized for working to stop rocket attacks, and no other country has been working so hard to prevent civilian casualties.
You have even stopped publishing letters to the editor about this, and do not even acknowledge receipt of mine. There is not even an attempt at balance. The letters published in response to Jeff Jacoby's column on anti-Semitism in protests against Israel, largely supported the protesters.
One way to improve the reporting would be to include articles on how Israel has received years of rocket attacks, and how they have coped. Some reports on how the people of Sderot, inside pre-1967 Israel, have had to cope with years of rocket attacks, would go a long way to explaining Israel's reaction. The inhabitants of Sderot have not been able to have normal lives for years.
In addition, you do not cover anti-Jewish attacks in the US. Synagogues have been attacked in the Chicago; there has been no mention in the Globe. I had to read it in Israel National News.
Which leads to my main point. Your coverage actually encourages anti-Semitism and attacks against Jews, by enforcing the idea that Israel attacked Gaza without provocation.
Even if the Globe does not directly support anti-Semitism, it is giving anti-Semites support. Should,G-d forbid, the US have its on Kristallnacht, the Globe would be partially responsible.
The Globe is my no means the worst offender, but it is the one in my home town. I cannot support any organization that helps anti-Semites; thus I have canceled my subscription, and will be reading my local news on the Herald's site.
Should you change your editorial policy, I will consider re-subscribing. Until that time, I hope someone buys the Globe because I would hate to see it disappear.

Monica Ramos wife of the falsely convicted Border Patrol Officer Ramos.Their home broken into Jan. 3
back door kicked in
home ransacked,
Computers thrown about the home
Family photos thrown about and broken
Couches turned over and slashedYes it was a message from the drug cartels from Mexico, IMO, Zetas,
[Link: www.alipac.us...]
links there on how to help her and the kids
This, but for the grace of God, go any one of us.
It will get worse. I predict that more than one Border Patrol agent's family will get such a 'message'. I further predict (and this one scares me) that because Obama is unlikely to really support or protect the agents who get such warnings, many of them will take the warnings and sell out to the cartels. In tough times, the promise of easy money sways many. We may come to see Border Patrol office run by the cartels.

If Israel - unfortunately, Olmert - keeps his current presence of mind(doubtful but you never know) and ignores the you-know-who; I think maybe Israel might be able to broker a move which would shove the WB on Jordan and Gaza down the Egyptian's throats...as part of a 'comprehensive ceasefire.' Olmert has to hang tuff' against both the IC & his political opponents...that's the big 'if'.
It would put Iran in a totally untenable position of forcing a greater 'regional' war which Egypt, Saudi, Jordan and Lebanon definitely don't want.

As I recall Jordan wanted the West Bank back, the tourism alone made them money and as Hashemites the control of the Dome of the Rock was important since the Saudis kicked them out of the Hejaz. Egypt was almost willing to pay not to get Gaza back. The Arab League forced Jordan's King Hussein to accept the PLO as sole legitimate representative formula and abandon claims to the West bank.

Israel has disqualified two Arab parties from running for seats in the Knesset. Why?
They seek Israel's destruction from within.
The party lists for the Arab parties Balad and United Arab List-Ta'al have been disqualified from running in Israel's upcoming elections in February, the country's Central Elections Committee ruled Monday, following a heated meeting.Balad was disqualified by a vote of 26 to three, with one abstention, while 21 committee members voted in favor of disqualifying the United Arab List-Ta'al, with eight members voting against and two members abstaining. The Central Elections Committee is comprised of members of all party factions.
And they think nothing of engaging in blood libels too:
"You drink Palestinian blood. You are a racist," Zahalka said to Tal. "You went to war as an elections campaign strategy," added Tibi. "Every vote for Kadima is a bullet in the chest of a Palestinian child.
Hamas went to war with Israel with genocidal intent. They got that war in spades. You support that war against Israel, and are doing everything possible to undermine Israel's ability to defend itself even as you have a voice to speak out. There are no Jews in Gaza save one - Gilad Shalit. That's the future you and the Islamists intend - ridding Israel and the region of the Jews and subjugating those who are left.

Hopefully, all this is unnecessary. Hopefully Obama will surprise us all and be a good President. Hopefully al Qaeda will surrender (that includes Dick Durbin, D-al Qaeda), and Frogistan will love us.
I'm not holding my breath.
Sweeeeet buy.
I don't think Obama will mess with guns his first term, but expect the dem Congress to go after them.

Well I know finances are tighter than tight, but still and all a P/A would cover you and enable you to pay whatever bills her money (or any other sums) is available and maybe also allow you to do paperwork for her to get Social Security Disability Insurance income and shortly thereafter, hopefully, medicare.
Just a suggestion my friend.

Not to mention the strategic footprint of being on the other side of the river.
Screw that.
Woulda coulda shoulda. If Israel had annexed Bethlehem in 1967, as they intended to, it was almost a Brazil level typographical error that they didn't and if the US wasn't busy castrating itself over Vietnam, then a proper Peace could have been made. After the '73 war the position of the local players was favorable, Egypt, Jordan, Israel and friends in Lebanon but Kissinger knew the US didn't have the stomach to see it through. So we retreated and thousands more have died. Now it will get worse.

Are they hoping to go to the gas chambers last or something?

re: #1143 Mich-again
NO! What caused the damn housing mess was the Community Reinvestment Act - which FORCED lenders to make a lot of loans to non-credit worthy people. The CRA created the "Sub-Prime" mortgage in the first place. That DID lead to the sub-prime mortgage backed securities and that helped to increase the cost of housing enormously but the FHA made it legal to buy a house with only 3% downpayment and CRA, in some instances, allowed lenders to make loans of 100% of the purchase price - and predatory lenders and especially buy-sell and mortgage brokers preyed on folks who couldn't afford the monthly P&I, much less insurance, property taxes and the like. But those lenders made their points (profit) then sold 'em off; the buy-sell brokers made their commissions and the mortgage brokers made their commissions as well.
Without CRA no Sub-prime mortgages, no 100% financing, and no inflated housing costs all of which are biting ALL of us on the ass right now.

Yes. Beyond ironic that (i'm sure) their screams that they demonstrated on behalf of HAMAS will someone "save" them...when everyone else knows full well that any claim of supporting HAMAS won't "save" them...(it's not good enough)...the harsh reality will probably only hit them when it's too late (...synagogue windows were broken here, btw, hardly reported on -- I think there's a growing/pervasive fear about just what we've imported and are continuing to import into Canada.)

re: #1252 realwest
That's what MA just passed in a ballot question, too. Up to one ounce of MJ (or hashish) gets you a $100 fine. No "multiple offense" penalties or anything like that. Of course, immediately after the law changed (Jan. 1st) my old City (Worcester) began trying to undermine the change by adding on additional (criminal, if they get their way) penalties for possession on public sidewalks, streets, parks, etc.
I don't really have a dog in the fight, but it annoys the hell outta me that the will of the people was made crystal clear at the ballot box and the first instinct of the bureaucrats and politicians (virtually ALL of them are Dems, of course) is to undermine it.
