Let's give 'em their own state!

Looting, shooting and wailing.

That's what we do best!

Remodeling, Charles, remodeling! Too shady. And they are showing their work ethic and trade skills off for potential employers.

Anybody surprised?

(crickets)

Didn't think so.

Close it. Shell it.

what exactly is there to loot in a tunnel? I don't get it.

Those metal panels can be made into nice Qassam rockets.

Actually there are still about 150 Palestinian Arabs asking to enter Israel. Israel had a list of high ranking Fatah members including fighters whom Abu Mazen is interested in their well being. They were allowed to cross and were taken to Ramallah, there they are staying at five star hotels. They are called "heroes" sarcastically. In the meantime the foot soldiers, abandoned by their commanders, are left to fend for themselves against the Hamas. It really shows what a bunch of scumbags the Fatah are even to their own.

They also looted the head from their own "Unknown Soldier" statue....
Yahoo pic

Palestinians gather around the remains of the statue of The Unknown Soldier after it was brought down by Palestinian militants in Gaza City, Sunday, June 17, 2007. Militants tore down Gaza's unknown soldier early Sunday morning, smashing the statue's head, and dumping the fiberglass remains in the Strip's main square....The statue's location was a popular place for militant press conferences, where lovers secretly met and men smoked water pipes in the evening.

A shard for everybody like good socialist do.

re:#10
I just niticed the kid has a Farur t-shirt. Heh.

Notice none of them want to go to another Arab shithole.

Hmmm.... This photo is taken from further down the path. In yesterday's photo there was no roofing material visible, so I suspect the looting started before today.

From the looks of that passage, Israel could build a concrete wall (6-8 feet high) at each end and fill it with water, alligators, and pirhana.

"The statue's location was a popular place for militant press conferences, where lovers secretly met and men smoked water pipes in the evening." Where is a good honor killing when you need one? I guess they all moved to britain.

Perfect in the role of guest workers willing to do what fastidious/lazy Americans won't do.

Yes it seems the looting has been going on for a while. Last night many were wondering what the guy on the right side was doing. Now we know.

#10 Killgore Trout

un-fuckin'-real.

This much irony could kill a person!

Well, as They say: "Loot and let loot."
So that guy climbing the wall in yesterdays pic was getting a head start!

Born to loot

As I look at the pic from last night some more he's stipping the metal from that beam. In the center of the pic there's a small pile of metal scrap already collected.

{Shaky Louie} !

[BLINK]

Killgore,

I was wondering what the hell that guy was up to.

I'm all for dismantling the border crossing.

About time.

How come there are no guards around?

No guards at a border crossing?

Must be on the Gaza side of the border (I guess).

World's best and most barbaric scavengers.

I wonder if anyone has made an ashtray out of arafat's skull yet.

{Babba Zee}

Thank you! Savin' it!

Killgore -- In the center of [last night's] pic there's a small pile of metal scrap already collected.

Looked like a pile of dirt, to me.

There go the most depraved people that have ever sullied the face of the earth.

Even the Germans realized the monsters they had become and tried to change for the better.

#12 Killgore Trout

Now, that, is the completion of the horror for me....

I never do this, but --spit!

The last few days have given us a rare glimpse of savages on earth.

Hey Babba, you feeling better? Hope so.

Why the hell does Palestine have an Unknown Soldier monument anyway? could it be that either all their fighters wear ski masks so you cant tell who they are or that they all blow themselves up so there is nothing left to identify their cowardly actions?

Maine's Michael..

"I wonder if anyone has made an ashtray out of arafat's skull yet..."

Stop, stop, yer killing me, here....

I wonder if they will melt down arafish's Nobel Prize medal and incorporate it into a qaseem?

This looks like neolithics desperate for their first piece of metal.

It is better to produce than to steal.

time for the Israeli's to seed the clouds and make it rain

#8 Charles

I guess it will be the second time in the history of the world that fire melts steel.

Funny enough, Sky news reported on the fact of the looting in a little depth earlier. No real analysis, but it was reported.

OT : Babbazee

Is there any tune you haven't got a link to?

No, honestly; I've just got off the phone with Sony and they're shitting their pants ;-)

This is the very best in life that any of the Palestinians can do, they trash everything that they set their hands on, and Washington D.C. is trying harder than ever to get them a "state".

There is no greater irony, or futility.

Abraham Darby is not amused.

(Darby was an early English iron master; the first to use coke not charcoal to smelt iron. These looters are enjoying the results of his work.)

(Not that they know who he was.)

There is greater Iron, though.

Big iron, big iron on his hip...

Maybe it's time once again, for the dreaded Israeli little green balloons.

You know, the ones that made several Palestinians talk funny, and then they had to go to the hospital.

I like your thinking.

God has the biggest iron.

And I can stop with the obscure historic stuff.

Abraham Darby I, 1677 - 1717: 1709, first coke fired iron furnace,Shropshire,England.

Gaza, 2007, 298 years on, only looting.

I will stop. Happy Sunday all.

This looks suspicously like the tunnel Luke had to send the bomb down through on the Death Star. In other words: Target Rich Environment.

Unless this is some kind of science experiment to examine their tendency to pillage and destroy, why not erradicate them? I mean, they're all lined up there in a row. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Is there something genetic going on in that neck of the woods that prevents logic and sanity from registering?

Let's give a call out to another one of the Bush Stupid Generals. Pace stands out of course, with Myers as the antithesis of what a general should be and it surely does not auger well for our future security. But apropos to this caption, say hello to LT.GEN.KEITH DAYTON. He was and is the American general responsible for training and arming the Palestinian Presidential Guard. Responsible for this border crossing vis a vis the Palestinians. He even urged, i.e. pressured the Israelis to allow free passage between the West Bank and Gaza. Fortunately, the Israelis bucked the Stupid Americans on this point. THIS IS OUR MILITARY. GET IT? AND OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF APPOINTS THEM. GET IT? And his is the joker who is responsible for all of our arms ending up in the hands of Hamas. He was responsible for training the Abbas forces. HE IS A COMPLETE FAILURE BUT HE IS STILL THERE.

I'm curious. How much of our military strength and deterrence do you Republicans really want to destroy with losers like these? Suck ups like these? Keep electing the follower Republicans and we'll find out. Keep criticizing Democrats for calling the Paces of this world incompetent, when they clearly are. Keep avoiding reality and tow the Republican line. And then watch us lose big time. The smart generals have bailed. We could have prevailed in Iraq. But not with Stupids in charge. Not with Republicans in charge.

My guess is Hamas wants their gunmen to be able to target those who flee from an elevated position. But funny enough, doesn't the fact they are stealing the sheet metal require the loss of a hand and a foot from opposite sides.

That would kind of put a crimp (or limp) in being a militant.

Looting? What is there to loot in an empty tunnel?

Oh my gosh I had forgotten about that. I think you could send in anything you wanted and these nitwits would immediately start complaining that it made their willies smaller.

All right, I may be late to the party and this may have been already covered in comments... but is anyone else glad that Hamas has taken over? Should I NOT be? I mean, with Hamas in power there's no excuse not to wipe them out, no? hmmm

That's how it's evolving, isn't it? I guess the West has been shy to attack, unless to attack a state; we're stuck on the history of WW2; but as islam takes over states & makes them obviously islamic, well, there's our green light to get this over with.

What else can one expect of the critters that destroyed all the Israeli businesses and improvements made by the Israelis before they vacated Gaza

Apparently, that tunnel magically passes from Gaza directly to the West Bank! (Reported by one of my favorites, the Gateway Pundit.)

Caption from MannImages:

Palestinians wait as they try to cross into the West Bank at the Erez Crossing in the northern Gaza Strip, June 16, 2007.

(New images have bumped it from the front page => hit NEXT to get to the images of the magic tunner.)

Now, that's a very inventive way to explain how Paleostinians can escape Gaza w/o seeking refuge in the very seat of the evil Zionist empire.

are you man or woman? I loved the link to your web page...at least my first cursory pages of it..made me smile.

BabbaZee
Your link further supports my evil Republican Baker thesis. Baker is our worst nightmare because he hides his anti Israel, anti-semitic idealogy behind a veneer of civil respectability. Baker is the voice of the elite Republicans (especially the oil lobby) who manipulate the masses with pumped up rhetoric, but secretly support corrupt policies designed to enrich themselves at our expense. To say nothing of policies that make us vulnerable. Gates is a Baker man. Bush's father is clearly a Baker man. And Bush, the son, manages to make us weakest of all by not only being stupid as to policy...not only being stupid as to strategy...but also by incorporating the worst of Bakerism into his current foreign policy fiasco. This again supports my view that Republicans pose the biggest danger to the United States.

OK Charles...how about a post on General Dayton?
And more importantly, who he gets his marching orders from.

Remember, Republicans gave us Dubai Ports...the plan to have a questionable ally that still supports a boycott of Israel, perhaps future enemy, on the inside of important infrastructure in the U.S. and privy to our intelligence....sort of like arming Fatah and giving them weapons and intelligence...only for it to be transferred into enemy hands. If you forget this, you are doomed to repeat it.

And Condi Rice is a Baker woman who is also a suck up third rate bureaucrat who was nurtured through Republican ranks only to embarrass every American with her personal brand of stupidity and fecklessness. They are all alike...the Republican General Paces', the General Myers,' the Condi Rices' and lest we forget, the good, credible Republican,Bob Gates of the Baker Commission. These are the folks running our country and making us vulnerable to our enemies...by putting their stupidity on view for the world to see.

My impression is that sandrine shall be voting democrat.

Thank you again Sandrine ~
for speaking clarity and sanity on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in your posts.

Gives me great hope!

Sandrine,

I take it you are not a Baker fan?

Sandrine,

Just what, exactly, do you have against Saint Condi of the Amalekites?

#73 gettinby

I will not be "voting democrat".
I seriously doubt Sandrine will be voting democrat.

I will be voting for whatever stinks the least in my nose with zero confidence in the vote.

This is the sad truth.

I see no lions on our horizon.

The Commislamist infiltration in our government is too effin' deep for even a lion to straighten out....
but with a lion we would have half a chance at destroying at least a part of it.

I do not see it happening.

Personally I could give a crap what anyone calls themselves politically or religiously it is the fruits that I watch.

You are so very right.

The stink, however, is getting more and more difficult to "stomach."

And, sadly, the very ones who could possibly (perhaps actually) do a decent job, are "not electable."

Fake palestians, make sure to loot your safety valve border country, Israel. This will endear you to them.

God, I despise the "religion of peace."

#76 Buzzsaw

The Unblown Soldier. That is more more funny than tasteless. Way more funny. Whoops, I just referred to the fate a failed half-baked homicide bomber as funny. Let me think about that...

It's still funny. F*ck a homicide bomber.

The pro Arabist mentality at state transends the Republican party. It was even more the trend during Clinton. Think Hil "Gimme a kiss Shua" Clinton will be better? How about Barak Hussein Obama? Give me a break. The state department is filled with pro arab morons. And they don't go anywhere-they just stay and taint US policy regardless of what administration they serve.

They wouldn't be able to make the rockets if the schmucks in Israel cut off the electricity that runs the lathes & stopped delivering the fertilizer so they can't make rocket fuel. This won't stop until there is some kind of coup in Israel or the people take matters into there own hands & the won't happen until something really bad happens.

Go Girl! But I see it will take a few conversations to Hillaryize you. Either way...I loved your web...and love your style.

#86 mjazzguitar and that link made my day

I'm curious as what Barak will be up to....Clearly he's an improvement on Peretz...although at this point I'm hesitant to say "clearly" about anything. It does appear however that with a leadership vacuum, Barak gets to play leader again. Let's hope he learned something from the past.

I understand he is Defense Minister. But he apparently took his post much sooner than Peretz expected. And with Olmert in Washington and Livni soon off on a trip, he'll be in charge temporarily. Plus it appears that his opinion is valued given his military service and past experience as Prime Minister. Interesting scenario.

PS To BabbaZee

Read more on your web...loved the art,the prose, etc. esp the image of Iran's lovely leader. And of course, we are completely and totally in sync about my fave, Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

#90 sandrine

Thanks for all the compliments, I really appreciate them.

Now I must report to you that there is no possible conversation that would have the power to "Hillaryize" me.

She is a stone cold Whore of Gramsci,
and I am her sworn enemy.

We belong to opposing covenants, and I do not mean that temporally.

It is better to say it will take a few conversations to de-Hillaryize you!

Have a great night, and thanks again, hope to see you soon~

Babba? Any word from your cousin in Israel....?

#94 BabbaZee

Then we will agree to disagree on that subject...knowing we agree on others. Time will reveal all, I'm sure. But the systematic dismantling of our constitution under Republicans, and their weakness in the face of Bush intimidation tactics, leaves me but no choice on these matters. I will not abide dictatorship or tyranny from morons.

You go from a frying pan to a fire my friend. We should discuss it off the blog.

He is OK, nothing interesting to report at the moment...

But he does happen to be leaving
on vacation with his family to Switzerland tomorrow!

So it is good he saw the mail before that I would have really worried if I did not hear from hi m for two weeks from today.

Also Sandrine;

There is no difference between the evil on either side of the political aisle except for the particular pathetoric, the look of the masks, MPH and ETA.

All these MFers are on the same side.

Hilary is more dangerous to western civilization than ten GWB's on crack.

The Clintons egregious war against the Yugoslavian Christians FOR the Muslims and the subsequent ongoing mess there is the most vile under spoken about bag of war crimes of the ever and was a huge boost to the jihad we find ourselves in now.

It all connects to the players in oil for food and the Baker group - why do you think Daddy B and Bubba the love Snake love to golf together so often?

Go ye forth and read on that crap. there's plenty of links in the reading room at my blog on it.

Also read NO ONE LEFT TO LIE TO by Christopher Hitchens, not a long book, a relatively busy intelligent person can do it in a day or two w

Then we will resume talks.

should have just been ever

but I kind of like of the ever.

So is sleep.

Goodnight fellow Kuffars!

Ah, BabbaZee......I know he's okay.....all the reports say no one was hurt at all.........but, I was kind of hoping for some kind of report --some hopeful thing, maybe, that we wouldn't hear about except from someone there like he is.....or, even, I guess, a confirmation that there isn't much hope of stopping the "steamroller" there.....? ):

The only thing he said this morning of any further note was that he thinks that attack was done by individual perpetrators and not by the organized forces of hell arrayed against God's Land.
