destroying Israel and forging a Palestinian state on all Israel’s territory... seems clear to me.

60 years of not being able to assimilate anywhere.

For once...they show themselves for what they really are.

It's so distressing to realize that it is taken as fact.

But I thought the MSM despised God, no?

I say Full Geneva Conventions rights for these heroes ... summary execution for violations of Article 4 ...

He wants to be a "martyr," I think we should oblige him and all his friends.

Abu Mohammed picked up his rifle, said farewell to his wife and six children and went out to face the Israeli tanks, helicopter gunships and missile-firing airborne drones

...and helped and old woman to cross the street.

And the moonbats will lap this up like it is milk & honey. They love the evilness that is the msm.

Linky broken?

Well actually give them credit for honesty. That is how most of the Palestinians feel. They want to destroy ALL of Israel and drive those Jews into the sea that they are unable to kill. KNOW YOUR ENEMY! Now lets drop this joke of a road map and take care of business.

Sadly, I am completely UNSURPRISED by this piece of what can only be described as "dreck".

At least al-Reuters is finally dropping the thin pretense of objectivity.

...and helped and old woman to cross the street.

...an old woman who didn't want to cross the street, but the gentle thought was clear to see.

I don't really see the issue with this article:

Abu Mohammed went to die because he believes in God more than he cares about his family.

al-Reuters is a shameful media outlet from the past when blogs didn't exist. Sane persons wouldn't use Reuters as a news source.

Does anyonw now question the un-official al-Ruters title yet. And they wonder why the majority of Americans don't trust them.

Actually, the chief ally of Israel is G-d Almighty. It's safe to say that He Who Spoke and the world came into being sees Abu Mohammed and his comrades as Jew-hating terrorists.

G-d is simply waiting for stiffer spines in Israel, and a different leadership cadre if need be, in order to rescue the Jews from 60 years of misery at the hands of a sea of genocidal Moon/War-god idolaters.

Posted this on the last thread if any fellow lizards would like to comment I would like your input

Good evening all LG Footballer,
I have been a reader for more or less three years and have been registered since November, don't comment much because I have been living in S. Africa for the last 20 years. I am returning to the US in the very near future(6-8 months). I have Conservative values(family,religion, freedom of choice, and a CAPITALIST). Most of my news comes from the web and Conservative blogs. What I am asking all the great people of this site and Charles is; Do you really think that the Republicans can win in November? It won't change my decision but I want to know what you all think.
Thanks
Erik

Masterful propaganda coup for the Arab world.

Even as we and they know that the 'palestinians' are simply the manufactured point of the Arab Goliath's spear pointed at Israel's heart, the arab world has succeeded in turning reality on its head, to the point where the tiny Jewish state, afloat in a sea of enemies whose population and land mass dwarf her own, is perceived as the Goliath.

No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

re: #15 winston06

al-Reuters is a shameful media outlet from the past when blogs didn't exist. Sane persons wouldn't use Reuters as a news source.

Why is why newspapers and the MSM who rely so them (Al-Reuters) are insane.

For once, the Palis & their willing accompleces are being honest:

The 38-year-old furniture salesman says he is not afraid to die for the cause of destroying Israel and forging a Palestinian state on all Israel’s territory, the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

But I thought that all the poor Palis wanted was an end to the "occupied territories" of Gaza (btdtbtts) & the West Bank?

Hey, Hamas's only goal is to try to get those horrible, violent Joos to exercise some self-restraint in their psychotic attacks on peaceful Palestinians. The BBC says so, so it must be true.

re: #20 jcm

Perfect quote. I believe nihilism in the end will alway lose.

Abu Mohammed picked up his rifle, said farewell to his wife and six children and went out to face the Israeli tanks, helicopter gunships and missile-firing airborne drones.

Works for me.

“Being unable to defeat Israel is no reason to surrender,” the Hamas fighter said with a smile as he headed to the Gaza Strip’s front line last Saturday, ignoring pleas from his family to stay.

The inability to defeat Israel is no reason to surrender? Okay, you'd rather fight and die - having your children die because you teach them your hate, have their children die, for the same reasons - all without a chance of winning?

What's it called when you do the same thing over and over and expect different results?

Then again, they already know the outcome - they can't defeat Israel, but they're more than willing to keep killing and continue the carnage until the end of time.

There is something seriously wrong with the Palestinians and their leaders.

His family probably started to understand that Israel might take the gloves off for even a short time - and that would mean dead Hamas terrorist. There was a glimmer there, but not enough to knock any sense in to the hard core jihadis.

It's for that reason that the Israelis have to continue going after the jihadis in the West Bank and Gaza - killing terrorists despite these media reports of so-called civilian casualties.

I say so-called, because all these casualties are the responsibility and fault of the very terrorists who hide behind them, refuse to wear their dress uniforms that they all seem to have when they parade about and who blend in so as to maximize civilian casualties when Israel does strike back.

clear evidence that it is time for Isreal to crush the palestineans completely

If the Palestinian terrorists want a fair fight, he's what they should do. Come out in uniforms and meet on the field of battle. Oh wait, that wont work for them.

How about Israelis start their own amateur rocket clubs - firing off their own version of kassams at Gaza using the technologies and materials at their disposal (pig grease I hear makes a great lubricant). /

Seriously though, there is no such thing as "proportional" response. The only response that is proportional is the response that ends the violence. So, if the Palestinians increase the violence after Israel fires back at the terrorists, then the Israelis need to ratchet things up more and start taking out Hamas leaders. All of them.

The myth of the noble Saracen warrior lives on. And on. Even writer Ferrigno, in his two purportedly anti-Islamic books, "Prayers for the Assassin" and "Sins of the Assassin", just can't break away from the noble Saladin/pious Moslem bravely fights for homeland template.

(You can just imagine, of course, how a Jew, who declared he wanted to go to Israel and help defend it because that was what HaShem wants would be treated; there wouldn't be any puff-piece/whitewash article for him, that's for sure.)

As long as the heroic Moslem myth lives in, and is so widely accepted, we are all of us in deep begonias.

Reuters ought to at least try to maintain the facade that profits aren't more important to them than matters of morality.

And by "went out to face the Israeli tanks, helicopter gunships and missile-firing airborne drones," Reuters means, "drank endless cups of tea with us."

I was in an antique store a couple weeks ago and found an English translation collection of "Signal," which was a major propaganda magazine from the Third Reich. There were lots of articles in there about Jewish conspiracies, etc. I wonder if Reuters' reporters are taking their style from Signal. Just a thought.

"My children and wife are very dear to me," he said. "But reward in Heaven and the homeland are dearer."

translation:

"Screw my kids and my wife i want my 72 virgins"

And if Roto-Reuters bothered with a story from Sderot, it would be how the land-grabbing Joos are getting what they deserve, with their houses and schools being blown up by the brave freedom fighters trying to get their land back.

Israel should send France a bill for reparations for the losses caused by Air France's al Dura deception/propaganda.

I do find it a hoot that the MSM regards pious Moslems as being noble, spiritual fellows (no matter what horrific crimes they commit), and sees their faith as a virtue, but portrays pious Christians as boobs, or Nazis (even if they haven't committed any crimes at all), and pious Jews, especially those who support the State of Israel, as sinister menaces (why?)

I heard a religious joke:

Q: What does "islam" mean?
A: Surrender.
Q: Surrender to what?

Hey Erik.
FWIW, the election is in November, 2008. Since it hasn't happened yet, that means anything can still happen. So, yes, Republicans can still win it. Anything can happen.

True story: I didn't believe GW Bush would win his second term as president. I live in LA and the local media, especially the LA Times, were all convinced that Bush would get tossed out. They had everyone convinced that Bush did not have a chance in hell of getting re-elected. Funny thing happened: he did.

#76 Dianna

It's your American tax dollars at work---enabling furniture salesmen to farther kids they can then abandon, in order to pursue the more important task of killing Jews. Hey, howzabout some more aid for those plucy Islamic warriors, huh?

/Do I need one?

From the article:

Abu Mohammed -- his familiar rather than formal name -- went to fight on Saturday with an AK-47 assault rifle, two spare clips, and three Hamas-made hand grenades bearing the words "Qassam Brigades", the name of Hamas's armed wing.

Before leaving, he turned off his mobile phone, which Israel could use to track his movements, and switched on a two-way radio that connects him to other gunmen.

"Just like an army," he said.

On the verge of tears, his wife, who did not want to be named, sat in silence. "I know Jihad is a religious duty, but we need you. I need you and the children do, too," she said.

She's referring to the inward struggle, correct? That's the only Jihad I've ever heard about from Reuters.

While I am in no doubt that it is sympathetic to Hamas, the article goes on to make some interesting points. It makes no attempt to hide Hamas' true motive being the destruction of Israel, it claims that "close to 60" - ie a majority - of those killed have been Hamas fighters (which might be an understatement), and it indicates that his wife resents his choice to fight Israel. Those are not the kind of tidbits most of our MSM are offering.

This is disrupting Dr. Rice's peace tour.

Abu Mohammed picked up his rifle, said farewell to his wife and six children and went out to face the Israeli tanks, helicopter gunships and missile-firing airborne drones.

See, this sentence speaks volumes about the big brave Jihad warriors, but not in the way the author intends.

The only reason this moron has gone out to "face down the Jew tanks" is because he knows full well he's fighting an army that has both hands tied behind its back.

He'll hole up in some mosque or hospital and then later claim he was involved in some great battle for his "homeland."

The 38-year-old furniture salesman says he is not afraid to die for the cause of destroying Israel and forging a Palestinian state on all Israel’s territory, the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

To Israel and its allies, Abu Mohammed and his comrades are Jew-hating terrorists. But Abu Mohammed sees himself on a mission from God to rescue his people from 60 years of misery as refugees since the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948.

What's wrong with this? The reporter is actually telling the truth about the beliefs and aims and goals of these vermin. And, vicariously, telling the truth about the goals, aims and beliefs of all the vermin, regarding all the world and not just Israel.

Until the West realizes this is about the religion that fosters violent psychosis, and not poverty or some p.c. idea of 'fairness' or lack of education or any of the other leftist foundational excuses, we are doomed.

Israel is at war with ideological nutballs who's basis for existence is religious/racial genocide. Why should Israel, fighting for its own survival, allow its enemy to gain in strength? Why does the left wing think that such parity is required?

You have to kill the people who want to kill you. Plain and simple. Who cares if 45 islamic terrorists are killed fore every 2 IDF soldiers. Why does the ratio even matter.

“Being unable to defeat the Allies is no reason to surrender,” the Nazi fighter said with a smile as he headed to the Siegfired Line's front last Saturday, ignoring pleas from his family to stay.

“My children and wife are very dear to me,” he said. “But reward from der Fuhrer and the Vaterland are dearer.”

The 38-year-old furniture salesman says he is not afraid to die for the cause of destroying democracy and forging a German superstate throughout Europe, the Americas and Africa.

Furniture salesman, huh... I guess this is just one more example of a "civilian" that the mean Israeli Army is targeting.

Me personally, if i was Israel's Prime Minister and I kept reading this crap when I'm deliberately trying to avoid casualties on their side, I'd damn well go Michael Savage on them.

I'd round up my choppers, borrow some bombers from the US and flatten Gaza from one end to the other and after flattening it with bombers I'd send in my F-16s to hit anything I missed and then I'd send in my choppers to cut apart anything still standing. AND THEN I'd send my ground troops in.

You want to see civilian casualties? You want to see a power that acts like a Nazi? Be careful what you wish for you bastards!

Most excellent idea! I reported you

re: #106 Areopagitica

You have to kill the people who want to kill you. Plain and simple. Who cares if 45 islamic terrorists are killed fore every 2 IDF soldiers. Why does the ratio even matter. Israel has the technology and tactics to put an end to this Hamas crap. Why shouldn't it be allowed? Since when did people become ashamed of defeating our enemies in war?

Because they are not considered (to many) the enemy. Remember now.. the Jooo is the enemy. Shhh.

#109 (Continued)

"I am not afraid to die for the cause of Palestine!" cried the noble Moslem warrior, single-handedly dispatching a bloodthirsty space cetacean, with a single pebble from his trusty slingshot, "Some people call me a terrorist and murderer of Jews!" he shouted, nimbly dodging a tomahawk flung at him by Tonto, the Lone Ranger's un-trusty Indian companion, "But, goshdarnitall, I'm one heck of a mambo dancer, and people like me, they really LIKE me!" Mojo the Chipmunk fired his bazooka, and our trusty Saracen warrior turned and. . .

(Yes, it's c***p, but I'm trying to be funny, and Reuters isn't.)

I found Michael Kelly's posthumous collection Things Worth Fighting For over the weekend. A good antidote, but the poison keeps spreading.

Reuters just did a 'creative re-working' of the original poem & made it applicable to our times...kind of like how we had an updated Romeo & Juliet starring Leonardo di Caprio some years ago.

Just wait, Charles, until you see the FULL STRENGTH of the Jew-haters in this world.

Wait until the dirty Saudi Money has purchased all the major news networks in the world and they've had a chance to install their 'Allah-loving' reporters at every level.

So. . .divine inspiration from Hamas = Good.

Convenient.

Reuters! One man's treason is Reuters'(OOPS!) another's Holy Grail(OOPS!) journalism.

Visualize Reuters quoting Lord Haw Haw as straight news.
Seems natural, doesn't it?

Unbelievable.

Totally believable, and Israel does this moron a disservice, and themselves a disservice, by not making his dream come true.

What is the point of a "proportional response" when everyone facing you expresses a desire to (a) kill you, and (b) die?

On the verge of tears, his wife, who did not want to be named, sat in silence. "I know Jihad is a religious duty, but we need you. I need you and the children do, too," she said.

In silence, and talking.

So, in addition to to being a terrorist boot-licker, the author is an idiot.

That would be "magazines", Reuters geniuses.

When has the MSM EVER been able to get that sort of thing right? People who become reporters tend not to have synapses for that kind of thing - you know, facts.

I just watched a "Modern Marvels" on "The Magnum" (poor choice of focus) where they claimed things like "only the magnum round leaves a vapor trail." What?!?! Non-magnum bullets are frictionless and don't interact with air?

They don't know anything, so they get confused easily. They're afraid that if they knew anything, their objectivity would be compromised.

Oh, wait...

Noone said it was clever or subtle propoganda. But it does fall into the "big lie" category, which is a time-honoured and true form of propoganda with mass appeal to morons and haters.

re: #86 friarstale

If the Palis are so badly off, how come they have a furniture salesman who, at the age of 28, can afford a wife and six kids?
What misery?

that's like the time I donated to Catholic Charities
once you donate, you get mailings asking for more money
when I read about the "poor" South American farmer with the 11 daughters, I realized he was richer than the average US family, who can only afford one or two kids because of the government enforced charity programs called "welfare" redistributing their hard earned dollars

sorry, no more charity dollars from me

suggesting family planning, birth control to third world or people of color bring accusations that birth control programs advocated for the Third World represent race genocide

Birth control is a tax-and-spend ripoff.

Finally some reason to hope for a mutually agreeable settlement: Abu wants to be a martyr. Israel would like to see him succeed.

I think the most unreal thing in that whole piece is that I am supposed to believe is that he is working in furniture sales.

Despise the mainstream media.

re: #11 Nevergiveup

Well actually give them credit for honesty. That is how most of the Palestinians feel. They want to destroy ALL of Israel and drive those Jews into the sea that they are unable to kill. KNOW YOUR ENEMY! Now lets drop this joke of a road map and take care of business.

The problem is, we are so inebriated with political correctness that we still don't know our enemy, even when he tells us he is our enemy and what he will do to us over and over again.

re: #17 ShumBaayaMyLord

Actually, the chief ally of Israel is G-d Almighty. It's safe to say that He Who Spoke and the world came into being sees Abu Mohammed and his comrades as Jew-hating terrorists.

G-d is simply waiting for stiffer spines in Israel, and a different leadership cadre if need be, in order to rescue the Jews from 60 years of misery at the hands of a sea of genocidal Moon/War-god idolaters.

Stiffer spines like:
A Joshua ben Nun.
A David and Jonathan.
A band of Maccabee brothers and their father.
Then again, Israel seems to thrive on odds of 100 against 1.
Israel Akhbar.

Israel has been giving these people land for decades and it's never going to be enough. Here they are self-professing to want "all" of Israel's territory. There's only one sure way to deal with such irrational zealots.

That is the most disgustingly obvious piece of propaganda masquerading as news, I've seen in a long time. Probably since the BBC kicked Barbara "Tears for Yasser" Plett into a less contentious area.

Of course, we're used to seeing handjobs like Fisk, but those are opinion pieces. This was supposed to be news.

Shame on Reuters. Yes it seems like a cliche, but truly, morally and professionally shame on them.

These old dinosaur news agencies should die out. The sooner the better.

Who else but Nidal al-Mugrabi could write something so ridiculous...he's not even trying to pretend to be impartial anymore. Also, on the other hand, any normal person's reaction to this article should be shock and discontent with Reuters, so...maybe there's one bright side.

Somebody oughta rub Condi's nose in this shit.

re: #51 lawhawk

Spot on...this whole "proportional response" shit is nothing but madness designed by do-gooder/know-nothings with no concept of the horrors of war. They have this insane idea that it is better to make war a nicer endeavor...like putting doilies on our tanks and painting our bullets with pink flower designs will somehow make the act of trying to kill your enemy a more civilized act. It's pointless, like putting lipstick on a pig. Warfare is SUPPOSED to be brutal and vicious to discourage enemies from attacking us!

Nations engage in warfare, and they always will so long as we remain human. If you belong to a savage satanic death cult, then engaging in senseless warfare isn't considered evil. If you want to be part of a free and enlightened society, then you have to come to grips with the fact that the best way to keep the satanic death cult savages from slitting your throats is to have the military force to exterminate them...and the will to actually use it. The only other options available...according to their own unholy koran...is to become a dhimmi slave, or to have your head cut off.

The Road Map is done. Israel does not have a "partner for peace" on the other side of that line (or, for that matter, in the West Bank) and anyone who thinks they do is a blithering idiot. Condi. George.

"In the end, Israel will have to agree to our terms. There is no alternative to returning all of our Palestine."

Yes, there is. The alternative is to grant your wish for martyrdom and keep on granting it. Because that's the greatest thing of all, right? Death is sweeter than life, right?

One Greater than David, and of his lineage, is coming... sooner than anyone thinks.

Furniture Salesman? Makes me want to look twice next time I go in the LazyBoy store.
Why doesn't al-reuters call him what he really is. Stupid chattel for a morally corrupt bunch of trash. (And that is insulting trash)

Abu and his playmates prefer the virgin-haunted Next World, because Islam makes this life so unutterably intolerable for its victims (AKA "believers") .

So, of course he wants to be dead.

It's a relief after living in Islam.

So send him off to Pimpland.

AKA "Paradise".

Of course Reuter are rooting for the Arabs. OTOH, this is one of rare instances that spell what the Arabs really have in mind, and why talking about "peace process" is a joke.

“My children and wife are very dear to me,” he said. “But reward in Heaven and the homeland are dearer.”

Reminds me of Golda Meir words, that the peace will be possible when the Arabs love their children more than they hate Jews.

To Israel and its allies, Abu Mohammed and his comrades are Jew-hating terrorists. But Abu Mohammed sees himself on a mission from God to rescue his people from 60 years of misery as refugees since the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948.

Now this is typical MSM "reporting". What about 20 years Gaza was in the hand of Egyptians? Why did not Egyptian gave the Paleos a state? Gazan Arabs knew perfectly well, that if they fight Egypt for independence all of Gaza strip would be flattened with tanks. ... and MSM aka "the world" would remain silent.

re: #5 loppyd

Not when it comes to Islam! look at all the BBC's programs on Islam. Even TV shows are Islam love fests like "make me a Muslim" or National Geographic Islamographic...

They only hate G-d if it is in a Christian or Jewish context.

The problem with the Middle East is that all the reasonable people have been killed off long ago, and they are left with a gene pool of violence-loving psychotic freaks.
If the Jews were gone, they'd just kill each other, because it's in their genetic code.
They live on hate.
It's the only thing that keeps them going.

OK, maybe I was a little harsh in that last comment, but the violence-loving psychotic freaks run everything in the Middle East, and the remaining reasonable people are scared to death of them, and so don't say or do anything to counter the psychos.

Abu Mohammed "I am not a jew hater, I just want to destroy them!
Now where's my Makeup? MAKE UP! Don't make Reuters Employees like they used to!"

"Just because one cannot defeat Israel is no reason to surrender!" said Abu Mohammed, the plucky freedom fighter, tearing off his shirt and barring his bronzed, muscular chest as the CrusaderZionazi army bore down upon him. Showing great plucked, he laughed at the oncoming oppressors.

"Just because I want to destroy Jews doesn't mean I hate them!" he cried, using plucky kung-fu movements to avoid the deadly baseball bat wielded by Tonya Harding, "I am fighting for G-d, my homeland and to defend cute lil' big-eyed puppies from being murdered by American soldiers!" The plucky Saracen warrior then leapt (in a very plucky manner) over Tonya (weeping bitterly over her ice skates) and took down an Israeli helicopter, a soldier droid and a Sith warrior, merely by flexing his manly, plucky pecs at them! (Is that plucky, or what?)

"We will never surrender!" shouted the plucky Jihadi, ripping apart a tank with his bare hands, "We will liberate all the olive trees of Palestine!" In a manner too plucky for words, he then fought off a squad of militant Nuns Templars with great pluck, not to mentin savior faire. . . (etc., ad nauseum, and so forth.)
