Here’s the latest live video stream from Gaza (no guarantees on whether it will work with your browser):
UPDATE at 1/12/09 6:08:47 pm:
A few minutes ago there was a very loud explosion, and the video stream went blank…
UPDATE at 1/12/09 6:20:46 pm:
It’s back, but intermittent.

Interesting thing is, if something hit with in camera range, or a flare goes up, the camera does have a human operator to catch the action. But he pans away from anything actively burning or any shot that could show a location in Gaza being destroyed.
They are going for the "big bang" but do not want to show any of the aftermath. At least not from this location.
It's propaganda, plain and simple. Show Gaza getting hit, but don't show Gaza going up in flames.

Little Casey Qassam, sitting in the shed
Was waiting to be fired, and to make Israelis dead
But Casey didn't want to go, he didn't want to fly
"They're going to force me to blow up,"
Said Casey, "Why, oh why?"
"I'm just a piece of tubing that's been ripped from Gaza's streets,
I'd really rather carry waste than forced this fate to meet."
And so brave Casey then refused to go where he was sent,
And took his makers out instead in a work accident.

I think Israel should put an end to the claims that she has used chemical weapons to rest for good. I'm just a little unclear as to how Israel should do it. Nerve gas would be a little too much overkill. Mustard gas would probably work, or even hydrogen cyanide. The Hamastinians could look back at the Willy Pete rounds as gentle corrections applied to coax them into behaving better.

I'm assuming that when we see those "flares" spread "fire" along a 3-4 block stretch of whatever "city" we are looking at, that the area it comes down on is basically on fire, yes? And anything that the flare touches, that is combustible, will probably be burning, yes?

No, Israel's not shooting off incendiaries. Most likely, some WP, as noted earlier, and the occasional illuminating flare. With their longer burn-times, plus the iris on the camera being wide open (see the P. Hilton comments earlier) the illusion of a town afire is easily explained.

I would bet this pales in comparison to being there. Even after all the war stories I've listened too with my Grandfathers, my father, my husband and his friends, I do not understand what it feels like to wonder if this is the last day, the last mission. I disagree this is war porn. Though not the real thing, it's as close as many of use will ever get and it should reinforce the reason why war is always, always the last resort.

I serious. Is anything combustible that it is touching, which appears to be many "blocks," is that all burning.
I guess what I am asking, is this like fire bombing a city?
No. "Firebombing" a city would use napalm or something similar. WP burns very hot and very intense, and then burns out, generally. It is not designed to start secondary fires.

Fine, my point is, they do start fires. I think some are splitting hairs here. Whether they are "designed" to start fires, or their primary purpose is to light an area, it will start a fire if it touches anything combustible on the ground.
I'm not bother by the fact that they start fires, hell, it's a war, but some of the rhetoric sounds makes it sound like it's so compartmentalized that we forget the plain facts, it's starting fires, lots of them and things are burning up, and people are burning up, if need be.

But today, I'm here to ask you to help elevate the poll-results of the the 2008 Weblog Awards, Best Video Blog category of to reflect the significance of overcoming anti-Israelism in order to defend the West against Jihadist imperialism.
Since 2005, I've produced and disseminated over 600 articles, with more than 150 original, pro-Israelism/Semitism, contra-Jihad videos which deliver an accurate, lucid perspective to over 100,000 annual viewers on YouTube and on DemoCast.TV
"Best Videoblog" is a category which Charles has no other endorsements in. I'm currently running in 5th place, behind the estimable, fellow-conservative Ms. Underestimated- who regrettably would need over 400 votes to catch up to achieving 1st place (she has a lock on 2nd place), but just 330 votes would give DemoCast a shot at jumping from 5th to 4th place. And even Sen. Norm Coleman would be grateful for so few, but significant, votes.

Air-deployed LUU-2 high-intensity illumination flare are used to illuminate targets. The LUU-2B Flare has a light output rating of 1.8 x 10(6) candlepower and at 1,000 feet altitude illuminates a circle on the ground of 500 meters at 5 lux. The LUU-2 is housed in a pod or canister and is deployed by ejection. The mechanism has a timer on it that deploys the parachute and ignites the flare candle. The flare candle burns magnesium which burns at high temperature emitting an intense bright white light. The consumption of the aluminum cylinder that contains the flare "candle" may add some orange to the light. The LUU-2 flare enhances a pilot's ability to see targets while using Night Vision Goggles. With the introduction of A-10 Warthog Night Vision capability, such flares are not used as frequently as in the past as they provide too much light for the very sensitive goggles. Flares burn at uneven rates and therefore fluctuate in brightness.The LUU-2 has a burn time of approximately 5 minutes while suspended from a parachute. The pyrotechnic candle consumes the flare housing, reducing flare weight which in turn slows the rate of fall during the last 2 minutes of burn time. At candle burnout an explosive bolt is fired, releasing one parachute support cable which causes the parachute to collapse. While unburned flares falling from high altitude could be dangerous, burned flares are much less dangerous since they are designed to burn up during the fall (even the aluminum casing is burned).

This info on the "call to prayer" times does not compute with the fact that we have heard something during the last hour on this web cam feed...
"The public call to prayer is given at five specific times daily from minarets or mosques by the muezzin (from azan - "call to prayer"). Prayer times are determined by the position of the sun in the sky. The Muslim day begins with the sunset prayer, Mahgrib, followed by the evening prayer, Isha, which begins at nightfall. The last of the prayers to be regulated by the occurrence of twilight is the Fajr, beginning at daybreak. The Zuhr (noon prayer) and the Asr (afternoon prayer) are given by shadow-lengths. The Zuhr is given shortly after the sun has passed its highest point, where shadow-length is at its shortest. The Asr is given when this shadow-length has doubled. A stick or a gnomon could be used to check this time, which varies with both location and the time of year."

Don't know if it's the call to prayer or some sort of attempt to raise morale.
If it's the first, they fail, b/c any deity that is honored with such CRAPPY audio isn't worth serving; if the second, then also a failure, b/c it clearly contradicts the facts exploding all around them.

Dune, my friend, Dune. Only the best Sci-Fi film made from a novel starring Kyle McLachlan (sp?) That's all. Just the sheer freaking GENIUS of DINO DE LAURENTIS (yeah, the AMITYVILLE HORROR III in 3-d, that guy!).
Actually, the Producer credit for Dune went to Raffaella De Laurentiis, daughter of Dino. Dino was credited as Executive Producer. Not that it matters.

re: #649 Guanxi88
Never saw it, but heard good things.
Me, I think pop music died when the Talking Heads broke up, and the last and best Sci-Fi flick was the aforementioned Planet of the Apes, followed by Dune (1984). 2001, I consider it an artistic/religious experience, not a movie.
Dune is, really, a "religious experience". At the end of the book, Muadib becomes a god. The movie didn't quite get there, as I recall.
Planet of the Apes was the single Charleton Heston movie I didn't care for.
For Kevin Costner fiascos, I actually enjoyed The Postman.

OK. So we probably just heard the bad guys indiscriminately shooting at...a rooster or something.

Is that the one where the guy can't get his automated space suit off?
Weird, but watchable flick, if so.
From Wiki
"In the early 2200s, the United Planets Cruiser C-57D is sent to the planet Altair IV in the Altair star system, sixteen light years from Earth, to find out what happened to a colony expedition sent out some twenty years earlier. At the end of the year-long voyage, Commander John J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen) contacts Dr. Edward Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), the expedition's philologist, who warns him to stay away, but refuses to give a reason.
Upon landing, the crew is met by Robby the Robot, who takes Adams, his first officer, Lieutenant Jerry Farman (Jack Kelly), and Lieutenant "Doc" Ostrow (Warren Stevens) to Morbius' home. Morbius explains that a year after the expedition's arrival, some unknown force wiped out nearly everyone in his party and vaporized their starship as the last survivors tried to escape. Only he, his wife (who later died of other causes), and his infant daughter survived. Morbius fears that the same fate may await the crew of the C-57D."

re: #700 yochanan
the LGF cook book needs a recipe for rooster
Quick chicken Gaza rooster and dumplings
1 rooster, shell fragments, pellets, etc. removed, plucked and cleaned
3-4 cans refrigerated biscuits. Do not use the "buttery" kind.
1 large onion
3-4 stalks of celery
3-5 large carrots
salt pepper
thyme
milk
Skin chicken if desired. Cut up and place in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until tender. Remove chicken parts and strain broth. Return broth to the pot. Debone and skin chicken and dice, reserving the meat in a separate bowl.
In a smaller pot, peel and dice carrots, dice onion and celery. Cover with water and cook until vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, cut biscuits into quarters and reserve.
Strain the vegetable stock into the chicken stock and bring to a full boil. Reserve the vegetables.
Carefully drop cut biscuits into boiling broth. Do not attempt to cook too many at once. Allow to boil for 30 seconds or so. Scoop out of pot to add in additional biscuit quarters and repeat until done.
Once all the dumplings are cooked, add chicken meat, vegetables, and cooked dumplings back to the large pot and simmer. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and thyme. When soup is heated through, add milk to make the broth opaque.
Serves 4-6 Zionist honcos. Milk may be omitted if necessary.

mean Gene Mon, Jan 12, 2009 7:43:48pm |
I figured out why there's such a lefty/Islamist convergence:
Work avoidance.
According to an official study, Egypt's six million government employees are estimated to spend an average of only 27 minutes per day actually working.
Two of each day's five sessions -- the dhuhr (noon) prayer and asr (afternoon) prayer -- fall within working hours, bringing work to a standstill at least twice a day in many places.
A prayer generally takes an average of 10 minutes, but it can be extended if a worshipper chooses to recite one of the longer verses of the Koran.
And before the prayers themselves, there is also a mandatory ablution during which worshippers must wash their faces, hands and arms, feet and heads. In large office buildings, the trips to the bathroom can also eat away at valuable work time.

I bought it (seriously cheap), and two days later the SciFi channel announced they would be showing it.
The director's comments on the CD are really entertaining.
I think it's one of the best SciFi shootemup movies I've ever seen, and I loved the plot.
Wing Commander, now, there is a seriously artistic piece of work ...

Gotta be the Star Wars movie with Jar Jar Binks.

On a serious note, I don't think Star Wars is Sci-Fi. It is fantasy. It is all about the myth. The hero, in the classic literary sense.
At least the first three were (4,5,6) before Lucas went full BDS and now I don't know what it is.

traderjoe9 Mon, Jan 12, 2009 7:53:56pm |
[Link: online.wsj.com...]
Solid article. I like some of the points the author makes:
The idea of a Palestinian people, referring to the Arab inhabitants of the land, is also of relatively recent vintage. (The late, great Israeli pianist David Bar-Ilan, my predecessor as editor of the Jerusalem Post, was known, as a Jewish child during the British Mandate, as the "Palestinian piano prodigy.")
I know most of the people on LGF already know this fact...but its still virtually unheard of anywhere else, and I think its important that people understand that the very idea of the "Palestinians" is fabricated and drummed up propaganda in the Arab war against Israel.
This isn't to deny, as Golda Meir famously did, the existence of a Palestinian people. But it is to say that a Palestinian people -- as opposed to merely an Arab one -- exists only as a kind of counterpart, perhaps a twin, to the Israeli people. Put simply: No Israel, no Palestine.
Exactly...if Zionism didn't exist and the Ottoman Empire would have to be divided...it would be divided up between Iraq, Egypt, and the majority going to Syria.
It has never accepted the Oslo Accords. It is sworn to Israel's destruction. Its charter is nakedly and aggressively anti-Semitic; no fig leaf of "anti-Zionism" there. The closest it has ever come to terms with the Jewish state is the offer of a long-term hudna, on the model of the Prophet's 10-year truce with the tribes of seventh century Arabia. "Anyone who thinks Hamas will change is wrong," said supreme leader Khaled Mashal in 2006. Could he be any clearer?
No!

The couple likes to ride bicycles in nearby Freedom Park when they have free time. Peter Wicker, the owner of a local bike shop, donated the bicycles to the Carters in 2007 after seeing the poor condition of their old bikes, which had been brought in for repairs.

Iran tells Obama not to repeat charges changes
Iran called on US President-elect Barack Obama yesterday not to repeat what it said were false accusations leveled against the country by the outgoing administration in Washington.The United States accuses Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons and President George W. Bush has spearheaded a drive to isolate Tehran internationally.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tehran would respond in an “appropriate and timely” way to any change in US behavior toward the country...
Uh-huh. Well at least our Presidente-elect has been given his marching orders - aren't you just thrilled?

Christopher Hitchens ( Can you imagine the irony of being named after Christ?) is a prevaricating creep. As I suspected from the beginning, he simply wants to call the shots. He has no deep intellectual thought, no care for populations, no sympathy at all for children , he simply wants to be thought as 'smart'. He is a tool.

Water tanks give constant pressure for the building. They are used anywhere where supply is not off reliable city mains or off well systems, like in rural USA for example (though not necessarily on the roof).

Ole Man Ahmad had a farm,
Gaza, Gaza Strip
And on this farm he had a drone
Gaza, what a trip!
Zooming here, and floating there,
Here a bomb, there a bomb
Justa few boom-bombs
Ole Man Ahmad had a farm
Gaza, Gaza Strip
And through the night a rooster crowed
"Let's abandon ship!"
Rats were here, rats were there
Gaza City Syria serious
Rats were dying through the night
In Israel's Iron Grip!
Ole Man Ahmad bought the farm,
Cock-a-doodle do,
Just now reaching to room temp

Ha! Oliver Stone used small webcams on his actors helmets in Platoon. It was pretty effective too, cause no infantryman walks upright and your perspective of things, particularly in a jungle, is much different that way.
I missed Platoon. Don't like stone much, and figure he'd trash our 'Nam vets. Didn't want to give him my money to do that.
Is it worthwhile, if so I'll Netflix it.

Ah, I dunno. He used to hang out in a bar frequented by Vietnam Vets almost exclusively and he was ok, before Platoon came out. The book purported to be HIS personal experience as a company commander in Vietnam. The movie tried to be everything about the war and of course no movie could do that - cover 11 years and at least 4 stages with many side stories. But I got to see a special showing for Vietnam Vets on the NYC Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Commission and after I saw it I wanted to hurt him, bad. Other guys were more angry than that. It's ok, but it only shows some glimpses of the war and made us look bad.

How many Americans served in the military and got weapons training between 1940 and 1990? I'd guess 40,000,000 that is forty million, the number is just pulled out of my rear but over 25 million served in WW-II and we did have the draft after. Of that number let's pretend 5 million saw what you can call real combat. How many have shown any evidence of criminal or dysfunctional conduct? Is it really significantly larger than the general population? I doubt it. I run into more crazy guys who pretend they had a combat record than guys who had a combat record and are damaged.

The vast majority of the residential communities in urban areas in Israel aren't ugly unpainted concretes poorly / unpaved sidewalks / roads. Things are renovated and upgraded constantly with the emphasis on consistency, efficiency and contemporary looks. Grass and tress are planted constantly. That's not touching suburbs, kibbutzes, and other villages. Especially today, it's prettier and modern by the day.
Over the fence, it's the same exact ugly style of dreary housing, with shoddy antennas, tons of tacky wiring and overall bleak. Like that dismal booby-trapped zoo IDF captured on video. So fugly, it's beyond words.

On the other hand, from my family and that of a few friends, I would say that some WWII vets did become drug addled and violence prone, but in that generation they called it 'getting drunk and knocking your kids around', and it was not identified as a war-related problem.
My grandfather went through a period of waking up screaming and trying to kill my grandmother, sobbing about the 'Japs' coming to get him. His marriage didn't survive. Neither did the next one. That generation saved the world at a heavy price, and were expected to shut up and live with the effects.

Back in 1970 I saw video from one the first "smart bombs" (dropped by an A4 John McCain type Skyhawk) that came back from an F-8E camera. One bomb dropped, hit the cache, and the cache burned for the next two days. Before that, it was just a known "tunnel" someplace in Vietnam. Little bitty hole in the ground.

running up through the floors
never taking the choice

So he fought til his death
so others survived
Knowing what lay ahead
but a warrior at heart
He stood beside GOD
and played out his part
More than a hero
the word just dont fit
to a man whose so caring
not so willing to quit
He stood for our freedom
he stood for our lives
and because of ole RICK
our eagle still flies!
remembering 911, Rick Riscorla owned the security company who was working at the twin towers the day they fell..He stayed in the buildings and went down with them to save more lives than he already had!What else can i say,,,HERE"S TO YOU RICK!

I spent two full cruises as a plane captain. I loved it. Thought it was the most fun you could have.
When I got out, I was watching a TV show with my dad, and the lead in was "the most dangerous job in the service". I thought I was going to see some Marine recon stuff.

It worked, my comment:
Any claim that the Arabs had against Israel, which I do not concede, has been voided over the last 60 years by their own record of terror and hate and bigotry. They were offered a State in '48 and they refused. After all their lies and crimes they deserve nothing.
May 14th, 1948 was when "Zionism" began defending itself.
I remember it well. I was 2 days old.

I'm not watching the cam, but it's possible there aren't streetlights at many corners, or well-established rules of the road, so you negotiate who goes by honking. It works like that some places in Tijuana.

Every so often there will be a quake in Turkey or Iran--huge damage--and I'm always struck by how small the quakes are--4.5, and the whole city is caved in.
Something huge hits here in California, or Japan, and if we're lucky, no major damage.

The Hamas may want to kill him and the Israelis are coming or the Fatah were tied to something but he might be yelling at some slob to buy his lousey car, you never know

re: #1950 crosspatch
I kinda wish I knew what "screaming dude" was saying. He's probably selling lunch or papers or something.
Probably a Hamasshole ordering all civilians to a certain area-gotta build their shield wall, and sandbags don't bleed for the cameras...:>(

re: #1964 lifeofthemind

The camera has only panned back a little, and moved left a little! Same red roof at the bottom, with the same satellite and antenna farm...I used to work around 'em, you learn the angle views quickly, especially if they're transmit dishes/antenna's...
| 1968 |
lifeofthemind Tue, Jan 13, 2009 1:18:07am |
I'm guessing the direction from the dish angles, they point south to the satellites and from the hills that are East of Gaza, earlier we were looking west towards the water, a notably flatter horizon
| 1969 |
Pietr Tue, Jan 13, 2009 1:25:22am |
We only had 2 horizontal street views on this Gaza cam-this one, and one where they had a building complex to the right, with a large green area in the center rear of it, and a concrete wall around it. It also had a horizontal street in front of it, with a vertical street t-boning it from above the wall...
| 1970 |
lifeofthemind Tue, Jan 13, 2009 1:25:27am |
Just think, if Hamas got its way none of the technology or innovation that makes that city possible would exist, Their ideology could not support the dream of Cordoba, It would be hard pressed to support a collection of tents.

Reagan was pure genius, really. He had 3 or 4 goals and in spite of missteps he accomplished them. He knew how to communicate and keep his detractors off balance. We felt safe during his time, because we knew nobody would mess with us, because our enemies respected him...He was the last (and perhaps only) politician I felt any personal attachment to. God bless his memory.

Thanks! I think one could make the case the he literally saved America from and 2nd class status with his optimistic out look and belief in the core values that made the nation great. Reagan and Bill Buckley were the one-two punch, the intellectual and the politician performing as team. Having said all of that, the time for nostalgia is over.
