And I thought that boobies only made chicken soup and to wear a hat because its cold outside. Well, if they're willing to slaughter pigs, they can do that too -- that booby who trapped that swine's gun did an excellent job on that one.

That should be "and told you to wear a hat because its cold outside". The part about killing that murderous swine stands as is.

Israeli Army Kills Gunman in Gaza Raid-Medics

By Nidal al-Mughrabi (who else?)

Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian gunman and wounded three early on Wednesday in a raid on militant strongholds in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics and witnesses said.

The gunbattle erupted hours after Israel massed ground troops backed by helicopters and 100 armored vehicles in its latest raid aimed at quelling mounting rocket and mortar attacks by militants against Israeli towns and settlements.

Israeli helicopters opened fire on two militant strongholds including Jabalya refugee camp after dark on Tuesday, and sent troops and tanks into the areas of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, witnesses said.

One gunman of the Hamas militant group was killed and one was wounded in an ensuing exchange of fire at the eastern edges of Jabalya, while two other gunmen were wounded in separate incidents, medics and witnesses said.

They don't bother interviewing Israelis anymore.

was killed on Sunday when his M-16 rifle exploded

I hope the Israelis did booby trap the thing because if not, some moonbat attorney will almost certainly file a product liability lawsuit against the U.S. government.

Is there any truth that the photocopy guy moved to Gaza and is the Reuters source for news stories?

Thank you, people, for the continuing great blogging experience!

Any chance that the Israelis will be booby-trapping wipes boxes anytime soon?

He who lives by the gun, dies by the gun (his own). For their own safety, terrorists should put down their guns.

Residents said Hassan purchased two days ago from an arms dealer an M-16 rifle that had been apparently booby-trapped by Israel’s Shin Bet. They said the rifle exploded on Sunday while Hassan was carrying it, amputating his right arm.

I sense a pun in that passage (smirk).

HOw about booby trapping red binders? Or booby trapping Norm Chomsky

By the way, he was right I am psychic

What really irks me is when they interview some Arab guy in Tunisia and he talks about this crisis in "Palestine" where Israel kills hundreds of Palestinians each day. A big problem is the propoganda that passes as news over there so that the Arab countries have a totally false view of what is actually happening there. Pretty much the only Palestinians Israel is killing these days are terrorists--and there's nothing wrong with that.

The Art Of Losing Friends

By Charles Krauthammer

Friday, September 24, 2004; Page A25 (Washington Post)

Of all our allies in the world, which is the only one to have joined the
United States in the foxhole in every war in the past 100 years? Not
Britain, not Canada, certainly not France. The answer is Australia.

Australia does not share only a community of values with the United
States. It understands that its safety rests ultimately on a stable
international structure that, in turn, rests not on parchment treaties
but on the power and credibility of the United States. Which is why
Australia is with us today in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

OT but Allah and MEMRI seem to have found the
bottom of the gene pool!

He was just following societal expectations. With a name like Jihad, what do expect him to be? It's just like if you name a boy David he winds up a womanizer and a royalist, right?

#32 Cornholio -- Though the booby trapped red binder is an idea, I much prefer the booby trapped wipes although the reason that they have remained on Yasser's desk for so long is that he is a picker and thus doesn't use the wipes for his nose that often and we know that he doesn't clean himself after he goes to the bathroom.

 #37 Truth Dr. 

More than we wanted to know about Arafish :-0

Hmm... booby trapped "throne"?

Good thought Cornholio -- though do you think any sane person would want to approach a "throne" that Arafat has left his mark in -- and you can bet nobody in the Muqata flushes

Irony: Arafat "Asserts Freedom of Journalism" and his men kidnap newsman
IMRA - 28 September 2004: Israel Radio reports that Riad Ali, the Israeli
Arab CNN producer who was kidnapped yesterday in the Gaza Strip and released
this afternoon told reporters that his kidnappers were from Yasser Arafats'
Fatah al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. On the very same that Arafat's men
kidnapped Ali, an official website of the Palestinian Authority featured the
item (below in full) "President Arafat Asserts Freedom of Journalism".

Ali's father called Arafat this afternoon to thank him for helping release
his son.

It was not originally thought that Arafat's men were involved and that the
kidnappers were from Hamas.

"I read that you have not yet formulated the final wording of your letter," Matar wrote to Bassi, "and therefore I am volunteering to 'help' you formulate it. I am enclosing a document that is chillingly similar to the one you plan to send - and all you have to do is to change the date (from 1942 to 2004) and the place (from Berlin to Gush Katif), and behold, your letter will be ready."

"The [Judenrat] letter concludes," Matar writes, "with a moving call to the Jewish leaders in Berlin to behave calmly and to thus make the expulsion easier." She then quotes from it: "We strongly request that you follow the instructions and carry out all of the preparations for the transport in a calm manner. Our community members must be aware that they can contribute greatly to the implementation of part of the transport by their personal behavior and organized adherence to all the instructions. It goes without saying that we will do everything we can, to the extent permitted us, to stand by our community members and aid them in any way possible."

' ... Hassan is referred to as "one of the leaders of the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades ... '

Hassan was rushed unconscious to a hospital in Ramallah, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Doctors said he had lost a lot of blood before arriving at the hospital. '

> Ah yes, the old "exploding M16" ploy!

No telling if Shin Bet had anything to do with the rifle that killed the murderer, but "bobby-trapped" weapons are floating around all over the place. I'd say he actually picked up one that came out of Iraq...

Some of the folks where I work teach or demonstrate firearms from around the world. Recently, the honcho in charge of the range was recognized by the Service for finding and disabling booby trapped rifles that had been brought back from OIF/OEF. It turned out that he uses an unorthodox, but exacting method of examining weaponry before he allows it to be fired on his range, which is why he found the booby traps. I understand they might not have been found using existing standard procedures. His procedures have been promulgated as appropriate.

Arafat took various terrorist gangs and renamed them as his various security forces.

From Arutz Sheva - Israel National Radio - taken off the airwaves, arrested, and labeled "inceiter" but still kicking

On the occasion of four years since the start of the current war - known alternately as the Oslo War, the Road Map War, or merely the second intifada - the General Security Service released a special statistical report summing up these four tragic years. Some of the numbers:

* 1,017 dead, including 703 Israeli and foreign citizens, and 314 soldiers and policemen. The worst year was 2002, when 452 were murdered. The numbers started dropping following Operation Defensive Shield, which was launched in April 2002 following a wave of terrorist massacres.

* 5,598 were wounded to various degrees.

* 98 arms-smuggling tunnels discovered and destroyed between Egypt and Gaza.

* Estimated amounts of arms and explosives smuggled in via the above and other tunnels: 2,000 kilograms of explosives, 6,700 Kalachnikov rifles, 750 anti-tank shell launchers, 33 mortars, 18 submachine guns, 5 anti-aircraft missiles, 580,000 bullets, dozens of RPG bombs.

* 138 suicide bombing attacks, including 60 in 2002 and "only" 14 in 2004 as of today.

* 13,370 shooting attacks.

* 460 Kassam rocket attacks. Gush Katif sources say that the total number of Kassams and shelling attacks on their communities is about ten times that amount.

* 173 Arabs with Israeli ID cards, including 150 from eastern Jerusalem, were arrested for involvement in terror attacks.

* 8 female suicide terrorists, and another 45 were arrested before they could blow themselves up.

* 292 children involved in perpetrating terror attacks.

* 191 terrorists killed in targeted killings, and another 768 terrorists killed in battle or otherwise.

* Over 37 million shekels designated for terrorism confiscated by Israel.

Welcome! LGF went through its 'first' phase for quite a while, which was annoying, but it never remotely resembled the shallowness of the lll blogs. Hope you enjoy it here.

Jihad blown up by his own rifle. Poetic justice. Was the gun booby-trapped by Israelis? Is that just more "blame game" while the gun was actually among those smuggled in from Eqypt?

May all jihadis blow each other up and leave the rest of the world in peace.

How wonderful, to think of the demoralizing ripples which move outward from something like this.

"Bism'illah! (By God!) He was just chambering a round, and God called him home! That could happen to anyone... uhh, that could happen to my close friends... while I am near them... or, uh, it could happen... to... uhm... Bism'illah!"

Goodness IS winning! Ooh-Rah!

Pal videos fake Israeli shootings

The Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to use music videos as a tool to promote hatred and violence among Palestinian children. In recent months, according to Palestinian Media Watch, PA TV has increased the frequency of hate broadcasting aimed at children.

One example of this escalation is the repeated broadcast this month of a 30-second music video depicting Israeli soldiers as cold-blooded murderers.

In this fictitious scene, children are seen playing soccer while actors portraying Israeli soldiers wearing yarmulkes (skullcaps) watch them from the side. One of the soldiers approaches the children and, after attempting to steal his ball, hits the child. The other children turn against the soldier and chase him away. He then grabs his automatic rifle, after which another scene is spliced in, showing a solider taking aim and firing.

-snip-

Short musical film-clips for children teaching them to see violence and Shahada -- Death for Allah -- as ideal values that are expected of them, have been broadcast daily on PATV, often for several hours a day.

All together now: What nice people. Let's give them a state!

(Wish I could find this true story on a link)

During the Algerian-French war, a French commander had a soldier confess that he had been giving Arms in exchange for sex with a hooker in town.

Instead of punishing the soldier, the Commander gave him a box of grenades and instructed the soldier to visit the hooker again.

For several days later there were reports of grenades exploding instantly in the hands of badguys.

And that 'first phase' would be when?

Crill, Fir^tht is still going strong. You can thank Dan Ra^ther for that.

November surprise?

Israel would not be able to destroy Iran's nuclear installations with a single air strike as it did in Iraq in 1981 because they are scattered or hidden and intelligence is weak, Israeli and foreign analysts say.
-snip-
In February, Israel received the first of 102 American-built F-16I warplanes, the largest weapons deal in its history. Military sources say the planes were specially designed with extra fuel tanks to allow them to reach Iran.

In June, it signed a $319 million deal to acquire nearly 5,000 U.S.-made smart bombs, including 500 "bunker busters" that can destroy six-foot concrete walls, such as those that might be found in Iranian nuclear facilities.

Military and strategic analysts in Israel and abroad say even with the new weaponry, Israel lacks the ability to carry out a successful strike against Iran's nuclear installations.

Other difficulties in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities include their dispersal throughout the country, their sophisticated defense systems and the likelihood that some of the installations have been replicated, said Cliff Kupchan, vice president of the Nixon Center in Washington, a former Clinton administration Iranian expert who met with Iranian officials during a visit there last year.

Iran's nukes may go active as early as November, the Israelis say.

Begin and his ministers hoped all the time that clandestine secret-service methods would prevent the resort to force. To believe Claire, this was one of Mossad's finest operations. Agents were apparently able to report accurately developments on the site at al-Tuwaitha. Other agents delayed the project by sabotaging finished cores about to be shipped out of France to Iraq. One Iraqi scientist was suborned without his knowledge, and another was found in Paris with his throat slit after a night with a prostitute.

From Raid on the Sun: Inside Israel's Secret Campaign that Denied Saddam the Bomb

Earlier, troops shot dead Saleh Bilalu, a 47-year-old mentally ill man, after he violated a army curfew in Jenin.

I must say it's remarkable how the Israelis always seem to know which Palestinians are retarded.

"Meanwhile, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's chief advisor, Nabil Abu Rudeina, said the anniversary of the intifada was an occasion for a renewed effort for a negotiated solution.

"The only way to bring peace is through a ceasefire, an end to assassinations and a return to the negotiating table," he said.

"The Palestinian people is holding out for its rights and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital. That is the only way to reach peace, security and stability in the region."

Then I guess there will never be peace.

The intifada was sparked when Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, then leader of the opposition, made a controversial visit to Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam's third holiest site.

I think what's annoying is people who post "first" (or any of its variations) like it's fucking Slashdot in here. Charles hates it, he wrote a filter that vanishes your post if you try to just post the word "First!" Go ahead and try it. I guess Charles is annoying, too.

Jerusalem Post has a little more about the idiots who wrote the graffiti on Yom Kippur here. They turned themselves in to the police and were released to house arrest pending trial. "Humanities students" at HUJ, no surprise there. Stupid kids, undoubtedly from rich families. If it turns out that they vandalized the synagogue then I'm sure that they'll be punished severely.

Kamer then confessed to the vandalism, and reported the second suspect, Shem-Tov, who, accompanied by a lawyer, turned himself in to police Tuesday evening.

One passenger was also attacked. A police spokesman said the assailant used an emergency axe kept on board.

The small plane was coming in to land in the northern town of Bodoe when the man, described as of north African origin, launched his attack.

He was arrested on landing. The injured were taken to hospital. Their wounds are not though to be life-threatening.
