Here’s a touching story illustrating the deep love Palestinian Arabs feel for their children: Troops arrest Hamas fugitive, foil suicide bombing.

A Hamas fugitive arrested by Shin Bet and IDF forces of the armored corps in the village Hizme near Jerusalem on Thursday, admitted to investigators that he planned to perpetrate a suicide bomb attack in Israel.

He also disclosed the location of the explosives belt he planned to use in the attack, which was hidden underneath the bed of his baby daughter in his home.

This is the distortion which occurs using a wide angle lens. Sort of like the distortion the media applies to the Pal-Israeli conflict.

Rather than blowing up the house, the Israelis should have had him tie the belt around himself, walk into a Hamas gathering and well, Allah Akbar - Boom!

Is there any group of people who can claim a "right to their land." It seems that all people are living on land their ancestors conquered. The Brits are living on land conquered from Celts, the Americans are living on land conquered from tribes who earlier conquered it from other tribes. The Spanish are living on land conquered from Moors who conquered it from Germanic tribes who conquered it from the Romans who conquered it from the Celts who conquered it from the Iberians...And what about the Basques:-)

So do the rules say that as soon as a person sets foot on some unspecified region of land, all the people he identifies with have a right to that land? Hence because Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, that territory by right belongs to Americans?

Where can I find good resources explaining the moral right to land?

Thanks.

Dude has a plan to kill you and your family. You catch dude before he can do it. Dude tells you where his assembled and ready explosive device is. You go to where it is and pick it up, its not going to hurt you, you know this because the trustworthy guy who just so happened to want to kill you and your baby would'nt lie to you.

Keep spinning. From what I have read in medical journals it decreases the discomfort of that wet brain youre suffering from.

Think of it as zero tolerance. Plus, it saves the fuel needed to send a D-9 to knock the place over.

"Terrorism has repurcussions" seems like a sensible policy.

On the bright side, they didn't leave the murderous scumbag, and the family he so obviously disregards in the house when they detonated the belt. They killed a house. He would have killed as many civilians as possible.

I don't think there's any set of rules, exactly. As I understand it, a country has the right to exist, simply by existing. The double-standard about Israel having to expain its right to exist is one of the most sickening examples of "anti-Zionism", especially when it comes from Arabs (whose countries were created in the early 20th century).

#9 Spinning Furiously


Your view, although the prevailing one in the press, Europe and amongst those in various states of denial, sends a message of proportionality regarding our assessment of the gravity of the act of amassing explosives aimed at killing Jews. It says that we regard the act of amassing explosive belts to be equivalent to the inconvenience of having them confiscated if found.

Now, blowing up the fucking house in which it is found sends a message more in keeping with the values of a sane, responsible, in-touch person dealing with people who claim to love death more than we love life.

These ape-like characatures of human beings ought to get down on their hands and knees and thank Allah that they are only terrorizing Jews instead of beasts who have the same attitude to human life and dignity as their coreligionists have demonstrated throughout history.

Andy (#21),
I have been going round & round with my brother-in-law on this subject. He pointed out the "injustice" of Palis being driven from their homes in '48 and I asked about all the displaced people worldwide. Should every people that suffered any injustice be able to return to "their land." I also pointed out that some Algonquin ancestor out there has a claim on his house.
The fact that the Palis have gained int'l sympathy when, Armenians slaughtered by Turks for example, did not, can only signal to me that a) terrorism is working b) anti-semitism has led to two sets of standards. He tried to claim the recency and UN involvement make this case different. What about the 300,000 Palis driven out of Kuwait in past 10 years? certainly the Arab world and Europe is up in arms over this? uh, no.

One of the things that I have and will continue to stress to my children is that there are consequences for your actions and people judge you by who you hang out with.
I had to get my daughter out of jail one evening. The whole group of kids were arrested when some of the boys(who were drinking) got into a fight with another party of kids. I could not pay for a better opportunity to explain consequences and hanging out with knuckleheads to the kid.
The whole Palestinian crowd want to piss and moan when the Israelis spank them for poor behavior.
Wake up!! If you start a war, people are going to die, houses are going to be destroyed,people are going to jail for long periods of time. What is it that you don't understand?
By the same token how difficult is it to understand that at some point the Israelis were going to put up some sort of barrier to keep you out? A barrier would be an entirely foreseeable consequence to being a troublesome people. Now what are you going to do for employment?
This barrier may provide absolute proof that Arabs came to the area after the Jews started business and started employing people. Because at some point if the Jews are not hiring the local Arabs will starve.

That is even partly a moot point, because while Native Americans had a unique culture comprised of a variety of distinct tribes, last I checked, the "occupied" territory was Jordan and Egypt and Syria.

While Israel is talked of as a birthright, many Zionists at its founding claimed it for ancient purposes, many others, uncluding the UK gov. at points, simply thought of Israel as the name of a potential homeland for Jews, regardless of where it is. This idea seems to escape the other side.

For example, should pre-Islamic nations claim the Annatolian Pen. for themselves, as those tribes swept across is in murder and deceit? Well, I guess not, because God told them to do it. While this is a troubling parralel to the Native American case it should be noted that, contrary to the nature of North America, there had been dominant psuedo-nation states/religiously homogenous tribes conquering for centuries, of which Islam was just the most recent.

Also, do you think that, in the name of fairness, Turkey would trade land with Israel as they are occupying land considered at one point to be the peak of European civilization? (not that Israel should or would ever give up Jerusalem or the other holy sites now that they have them, but treat the hypo as a simple land swap scenario) Besides, does anyone ever challenge Turkey's legitimacy? No, it just goes with the territory of war. France and the UK created the mess and helped solidify Turkey by voiding their duty to the false states cut from the Ottoman rubble.

While we use the standard you set out for the North American case, the lack of culpability of current generations for the loss of prior peoples, across several spheres, be it in China, Turkey, Australia, etc., only the Arab-Israeli conflict seems to insert religous claims to land within the nation state frame of things.

I think the reason for detonating the belt in place has been answered -- it's too dangerous to deal with what could have been a booby trap, and much easier just to set it off there.

As for the woman in the picture -- maybe she should have objected to having a bomb stashed under her baby? Or she should have object to someone in her house being determined to kill women and children.

I'm curious about the use of a fisheye lens for the picture. Perhaps the goal was to make the rubble look bigger than it really is?

If the destroyed bomb belt did that much damage to her house, imagine how much damage it would have done to the bus or restaurant or shop or school or dance hall or cafe or ice-cream parlor or whatever civilian target the woman's terrorist comrade was planning to target. Not to mention all the innocent peopel that would have been murdered. And had that happened, this elongated freak wouldn't have been out mugging up her grief and rage for the local AFP propaganda photographer.

A bomb belt with enough explosive power to destroy a small building is found in her cute little abode, yet somehow she's the aggrieved victim? Oh, boo-friggin'-hoo. Cry me a river, indeed. No, cry me an 'effin' ocean. What a twisted, warped, sick mindset.

Palestinian Media Watch has a new six-minute video presentation on Arafat's Death Cult:

Ask For Death
[Link: www.pmw.org.il...]
(Click one of the two icons at the top of the page to view video)

An excerpt from a PA television "news" program: "The president [Arafat] said in his address to these boys and girls [in PA summer training camps] that the [14-year-old] Shahid Faris Ouda and all the Shahids of our people constitute the fundamental and victorious power, Allah willing!"
 


And further context from Operation Stop Inciting Children to Kill:

25,000 children were trained this past summer in Palestinian Authority summer camps in the use of firearms, the making of Molotov cocktails, methods and operational rehearsals for kidnapping targeted leaders, and conducting ambushes. Tragically they were indoctrinated for a new generation of war -- not for peace.

Possible quotes from the woman in the picture:

"I caught a fish THIS big!"

"The bomb belt was intended to kill Israeli children THIS big!"

"The bomb belt was hidden under the bed of a child THIS big, and for this I'm let off with no jail time! Sure, my house is wrecked, but the UN will give me another one, maybe even nicer!"

"Well, our plan to slaughter as many Israelis as possible was foiled--woe!--but don't feel bad: it was just one bomb belt. Here, let me give you a hug!"

"Where the hell were those ISM tools who were supposed to be protecting my house, dammit???!!! What, the bomb belt has to be exploded and Israelis killed and maimed before those worthless shits will show up to protect me and my house? Not fair! I really wanted to see some dead Israeli kids! Doesn't that count for anything? Waaahhh!"

"We had a bomb belt THIS big stashed under the kid's bed, and we would have gotten away with it if hadn't been for those meddling IDF kids and their cursed sapper unit!" (rips mask off, revealing herself as Old Man Hamas Henderson from the Death Cult Amusement Park.)

"The Palestinian Authority on Sunday condemned the US for offering a reward of up to $5 million for people providing information about the attack on American convoy in the Gaza Strip on October 15. Three US security guards were killed when a remote-controlled roadside bomb was detonated near their convoy in the northern Gaza Strip." But why? Didn't the Jooos do it?

[Link: www.jpost.com...]

What about those who the Palestinian police arrested? "It's also not clear what happened to the eight Palestinians who were detained shortly after the attack. Sources in Gaza City said most of the detainees have been released."

The IDF did the one effective thing to the family of the suicide bomber, they destroyed physical property. They have no value for their lives or their childrens, lives = cannon fodder. But physical property like land, trees and buildings have vast unlimited value.
But since she most likely did not own the building she lived in, the entity empowered to put a roof over her head will most likely move her into a newer and larger building. In other words, here's your reward for treachery ma. :)

Your point is a very important one. The most effective thing the US can do is to overhall the education system in Iraq - literally write the books (as unliberal as this may sound) and force other Arab countries to adopt these books in their education system as well as a precondition to US aid and or/defence (Egypt, Malaysia, Suadi Arabia etc.).

146 Mr. E. Train  Sun, Nov 2, 2003 10:26:35am

a bit OT... but here we go.

American indians,
The name most tribes had for other tribes often roughly translated as "Not-people" or "Half-people"

The Sioux, like so many other tribes on both Americas were not native to the land that the white men eventually took from them. Nearly all tribes tended to migrate over long periods of time, taking land from other tribes through warfare.

When warriors from other tribes were captured in battle they were taken back and tortured over as many days possible. The thinking went that the tougher the prisoner was, well than means that since I captured him Im even tougher! Ive read that this often took place in the upper plains and ohio valley.. perhaps elsewhere.

Early on, during the first contact with spanish exporers-invaders small pox and other childhood diseases common in Europe but unknown in the Americas swept thru all native populations again and again. More natives died from these alien pathogens than ever died at the hands of European weapons by several orders of maginitude. As a consiquence many white settlers found their land largely empty.

There are as many native people alive today as there were when the Santa Maria first made landfall in 1492.

Those pretty pryamids tourists love to visit while in Mexico, they were used to as altars of human sacrifice, places where untold tens or even HUNDRED's of thousands of still beating hearts were ripped from the bodies of men and women.

All of this doesnt diminish the terrible things the white man did to the indians but it should be taught along side all of the white mans "crimes" to show that although there were the vicitims of war, there were hardly innocent!

In truth , it every inch of land was returned to its original owner then all of modern man would be living in the great rift valley of east africa and the rest of the globe would be returned to Neanderthal man!

Lests just all agree that people are living where they are living and no one will engage in the ugliness of land theft anymore. Build a fricken GREAT WALL OF CHINA wall along the Green Line and never let there be contact betwix the Israelis and the Pale's ever again. If you cant live in peace then live apart !!!

A Reuters report on the first Afghan woman to participate in a beauty pageant in 30 years splashed the following title: “Afghan Beauty Trades Burqa for Bikini...”
...What does this young women hope to achieve by her participation? Well, the report quotes the 25-year-old as saying: “I would like to make people aware that as Afghan women, we are talented, intelligent and beautiful.” Now, how parading half-naked on a stage can achieve that, I have no idea. Whatever happened to common sense and good old-fashioned hard work?

160 Paul Banks  Sun, Nov 2, 2003 11:08:33am

If this was in response to my post, we are in agreement, not disagreement. However, there are differentiations.

1. We have a semi-accurate historical record of the deceit and conquest by Islamic tribes. There is no such record in existance in North America. What we have to go on is an educated guess that they were migratory Asians that came here on foot during the last ice age.

2. The current conflict in the Middle East is one conceived of largely on racial lines, perhaps as much as religous/cultural ones. True, Native Americans surely went against one another on similar lines, but the racial/religous components were but two in a vast array of issues that were within the sphere of local tribal power plays.

3. Nation states, albeit artificial ones created by Euro-colonists post-WW1, provide the current clash in the ME a thouroughly modern context. The Israeli tragedy has been much worse because of the Holocaust, Nasser's aim at dominance, the Cold War ('67), and the rise of the internal combustion engine. No such equivalents exist in the Native American intertribal battles, and in large part, until the United States consolidated the lands, the Native Americans were either ignored or treated as pawns in battles for existing territories between the Euros and the US.

Anyhow, you likely know all this. All it goes to show, however, is that the idea that fighting amongst oneselves in North America, then the United States transferring them does not serve as a fruitful parralel for analysis beyond an illustration of how people are basically horrible to one another. But again, that is obvious.

191 evariste  Sun, Nov 2, 2003 12:21:08pm

Yeah, I don't think that one is true, for instance. Fatah means "Opening" or "dawning". It's also the name of one of Arafat's terror gangs. I don't know the word for foreskin but that isn't it.

From your link:

The main office is in the Palestinian refugee camp Jenin, chosen as much for defensive purposes as for practicality (several founders are Palestinians). Legally they’re operating out of what’s essentially a no man’s land of chaos, where according to Taylor enforcement resources aren’t usually extended to cover intellectual property disputes and even if they were, copyrights don’t extend to non-Palestinian owned content. The owners are confident the physical location alone protects them from expensive and distracting legal assaults but they claim they’ve incorporated robust defenses in the software as well.

Sounds like the IDF should go close them down. The law is the law, after all.

Colt (#209),

It inspires both:

Summary: this movie makes me want to barf

This is one of my least favorite movies ever: a movie geared towards people who don't really know anything about music, and as such, reveals its complete stupidity to those who do. It's the story of Mr. Holland, a cranky guy who's not a very good teacher, not a very good musician, not a very good husband and not a very good father. HE HAS NO REDEEMING QUALITIES!

He works for his whole life on this "OPUS," and when it finally gets performed, it's god-awful. How can you work on music composition your whole life, and still have no talent for it? Is it possible? Well, in the movies, anything's possible.

Then there's the pointless Rowena subplot, which culminates in a gripping scene where Richard Dreyfuss's wife reads Rowena's name on a program and makes a stern, disapproving face. You'll be glued to your seat.

Mr. Holland "touches the lives" of all these students...and each life he touches is ruined! He tells the cute redhead to play the sunset; she becomes a miserable politician. He gives Rowena "voice coaching" (is that what the kids are calling it now?); she runs away, never to be seen again. He hits that football player on the head with a bass drum beater to teach him about rhythm; HE DIES!

What's up with that scene where the hearing-impaired people "appreciate" music by watching idiotic flashing lights? They're deaf, not stupid!

So, if you like movies that are just ill-conceived vehicles for 60s pop rock montages and scene after scene of Richard Dreyfuss being a jerk, run out and see this one! (And be sure to cross lots of busy highways on foot enroute to your local theater or video store.)

AND

Summary: Richard Dreyfuss' Opus

I first saw this movie on video in late 1996, I was 19 years old and I thought that I would hate it. What kind of sappy, sentimental crap was this? Why should I like it? Well, I'll tell you. Its because this is the story of a man's life work and how he made a difference in the lives of those people around him. I think that some day many years from now we would all like to look back and say that we made the difference in the life of even one person. Dreyfuss gives us the performance of a lifetime as the titular Mr. Holland. Watching him transform from a frustrated, half-hearted, hot-headed young teacher to a man of wisdom, compassion and caring is a wonderous sight to behold. His battles with his hearing impaired son pull at your very heart strings. Mr. Holland is a man we all know and love, he might not have been your music teacher but he/she was someone special in your life that made a difference in your education. I was lucky enough to have a multitude of great teachers just like Mr. Holland that changed my life and made me appreciate the great place a teacher holds in our society today. Mr. Holland's Opus might be silly and sentimental but I can't help but love this movie. I'm not ashamed to say that I cry big crocodile tears everytime I watch it. This movie hits you right where it feels good, it makes you proud to have shared this experience. You were there to watch him grow and become the stuff of legend. You were there for Mr. Hollands Opus, no, you were there for Richard Dreyfuss' Opus. Because in the end the real opus is not his music but his effect on the lives of his students. Now thats beautiful music.

Only a truly amazing movie can do that. ;-)

Besides, I wonder if Rob ever questions why the Palestinians in those camps in Lebanon don't blow up Lebanese busses for the Lebanese forcing them to live in squalor, if he thinks the "occupation" is a legit reason.

The difference between you and me is that your head is stuck in your ass and mine is not.

There is no "the same". First of all, the Palestinian living conditions are 10 times better than most people living in the Arab world. There is no equivelence between the genocide that Jews have experienced through history and the inconviniences and frustrations of the Palestinian population who were expelled from Egypt and Jordan.

The Palestinians have seethed themselves into a frenzy that has infected the whole Paly population and is being force fed into the youngest of them. They perpetuate generation after generation of lies about absurd Israeli practices that fuels the hatred that we witness in their chants, parades, propaganda films, etc. No sympathy here for this cult of hate and outright murder.

The BBC is not, I repeat not, most emphatically not guilty of bias when it comes to the subject of Palestine and the Zionist-occupied bit, stolen from Arabs who have lived there from the time of Adam and Eve, who were Palestinians, by the way, known as Israel. How dare you suggest that the BBC is biased. It is innocent, I tell you, innocent!

It is as innocent as a - a - (thinks desperately) - I know! As a Palestinian woman whose house has been destroyed for some trivial reason like a bomb belt under the baby's cot. Poor Palestinian woman! Poor BBC!

And Gideon Levy and the Israeli peace-person were a sad pair. Talk about heads buried in the sand.

Colt,

I think it was originally meant as way to have a conversation about an inane subject that would deflect the conversation away from the troll so they would think that this wasn't a serious blog and go away, as you know now its grown into its own self referential topic, actually it might be better to try a different approach in which we present any number of other interesting methods of demonstrating the pleonasm, or redundant sentence, which is to simply say nothing over and over again. This may be done by repeating empty syntax or patterning the fruitless exercise along an aesthetic direction that leads only to circular, solipsistic verbal statements which contain literally nothing but their own self-referential quantitative reality. The illusion of qualitative content may, of course, be demonstrated by the elaboration of an idea that is not actually present, like here.

The PA will probably build her a new one, anyway.

I'm almost positive I originally read about this on Steven Plaut's site but I can't find it now. This is essentially what I read though:

"...The smuggling operation is essentially a family enterprise, report Huberman and Shalom, with several large Gaza families "owning" a piece of the action. They pay families that agree to have a tunnel running from their homes $1,000 each month, and they then sell the weapons that are thus smuggled to the Palestinian Authority. If a tunnel-camouflaging home is destroyed by the IDF, the PA pays generous compensation to the family - and even builds the family a new home in the Tel Sultan neighborhood. Some residents have therefore begun spreading rumors of tunnels in their homes, designed for Israeli ears, so that they can "start all over" with a destroyed home, PA reparations, and a new modern house."

So I strung 'em together from my mental list of insults :-) The juxtaposition doesn't make sense as a sentence, it only makes sense because they're both insults. Kind of like how "ass-kissing motherfucking cocksucker" isn't a very good juxtaposition outside of the heat of passionate insult.

i have people that want to blow me and my two little girls up on our buses... evrytime we go on one, we risk our lives... defend the blowing up of the 20 bus, 2 blocks form my house, killing 4 little girls i taught Art to. these rabid Zionist monster students were 15 years old,, their heinous crime against humanity,, riding the 20 bus to school one morning. along with our 8 year old neighbour, not at a demonstration, not throwing rocks, not being used as a shield by a murder,, for riding the bus. to school, would you be brave enough to ride the 20 bus with me, rob? i hope you tell the Palestinians that work here in Jerusalem that they are so oppressed,, they will laugh in your face, and go about the business of taking care of their families, getting 3 times more from their Israeli employers, getting the best medical care in the middle east in Israeli hospitals, going to Israeli universities,etc.
ive studied in Art school with Palestinians, ive worked with them, ive been in the next bed next to them in the hospital birth ward,and when my little girl was ill, she was in the next bed to Achemd for 2 weeks...achemd waited two years, and than had a Jewish kidney implanted into his Palestinian body,, if his father ever heard your drivel, hed probably punch you out,, Zionist doctors and a Zionist body part donor saved his sons life. the medical satff at haddassah became the second family to him, caring for him with much love.
yesterday,more than 150,000 rabid Zionists took part of a massive peace rally in .. in the name of Yitzhak Rabin... in our brutal oppressive democracy, you can protest openly for whatever cause or political movement you chose. try that in Gaza...
how would you know any of this though , rob.. you look to provincial to have ever gone further than the next town over,, have you ever actually been to Israel? or the west bank? i live in Israel, and have been in the west bank many times before it got to dangerous.i personally invite you to my home in Jerusalem, to see what the ordinary life of Israelis is like,, but you wouldn't do that would you,,, it would smash all of your pre conceived notions,,, base your opinions on knowledge, on experience, and on research,, dont parrot the words of others, dear. that is truly sad.
i am incredibly proud of my countrymen, and of being Israeli.. we are special.

Perhaps if the Zionists stopped annexing more and more land i.e. "settlements", and withdrew from land they've been occupying for 40 years, let the palestinians have some hope and a chance at future, mayhaps if the IDF stopped blowing up homes, maybe they'll stop murdering you folks.

What kind of "hope and future" do you think these Palestinians want? The kind that the suicide bombers blowing up US soldiers in Iraq want - A whole lot of destruction.

Or are the US forces in Iraq "brutally occupying" the Iraqi people as well?

You must stop viewing the world within the privileged constructs of your reality. Not everyone wants what you want (persumably peace, stability, a job, a place to live and some fun). Some want 70 virgins in heaven and a river of Yogurt which you can only get if you blow up women in children - and these are the people you choose to defend?
You have a lot more in common with Israelis than you do with the Palestinians, more than you or us would ever want to admit.

I am new to this board and I agree with your premise. Jooos that came from Europe to Palestine in the late 19th century and have 5 generations of Jooos already living in Israel up to and including now are European Jooos.

You can just tell they are European by their lilly white skin color... oh wait a second, the Europeans consider the Jooos, non-white.

So that can't be it.

I don't think the nation of Israel cares about the opinion of a moron earth fairy like you. Their space fairy is a lot wiser. You can keep prancing around with your little Atheist self-image, acting like you're so much smarter than anyone else, if you want though.
If you knew any fucking history in the first place you would know that Israel was founded so that European Jewry would have a haven from the persecution that they faced in the cradle of the Shoah. Not in fulfilment of the Biblical prophesy.

317 evariste and his ululating technicolor harpy  Sun, Nov 2, 2003 2:21:52pm

Islam does suck, Andy. Objectively.
Damn those are some fine mommas you linked to.

318 Evil Otto  Sun, Nov 2, 2003 2:24:41pm
Silly me, I hadn't realized that national oppression gave free license to perpetuate the same oppression.

And *I* wasn't aware that being oppressed gave one the right to strap a bomb to oneself and blow up a restaurant full of people celebrating Passover. Or slaughter Israeli children in their beds. Or blow up busses crowded with people just trying to go to work.

When the Jews start shoving Palestinians into ovens and making lamps from their skin, I'll consider what you say to have merit. Until then...

And BTW, jews under occupation, adopted tactics that could be defined as terrorism.

Nooo? Really? They were strapping bombs to themselves and slaughering Muslims in the streets? I remember well when the Israelis slaughtered those Palestinian Olympic athletes in 1972, the unending suicide attacks which killed friendly, helpful Palestinians (who, of course, only wanted peace and to live in sweet, sweet freedom).

Honestly, i have no love for ANYONE that kills civillians or other non-combatants. Including the zionist IDF.

Which is why you've spent so much time here condemning Palestinian suicide attacks, right, Rob?

Y'know, call me cynical and judgemental, but I don't think you really give a rats ass about the Israeli civilians killed in these constant attacks. It seems more like the usual throat clearing "Oh, of course I condemn the Palestinians for blowing up that busload of schoolgirls. Bad Palestinians! Now, can we talk about the horrible Zionist stormtroopers and their Nazi tactics?"

thats the difference between you and me. Basic moral consistencey.

My God! You really ARE so much better than us! I honestly had no idea! I bow before your shining, superior morality. I must have been INSANE to think there was a difference between targeted military attacks against known terrorists and blowing up busses and restaurants.

Silly me.

So maybe Islam does suck as a whole, but you've got to realize that there's a lot of variation among the 1 billion of them. Malaysia's moonbat even said that there are so many types of Islam they are like their own separate religions. Sufis anyone?

It confirms a stereotype when people run around hollering Islam Sucks! What good is that going to do? Isn't it better to say that the Wahabbis suck but the Sufis don't quite as much?

320 evariste and his ululating technicolor harpy  Sun, Nov 2, 2003 2:29:51pm

True dat. Sufis are pretty cool.
But limiting the "suck" to wahhabis is misleading. I would say, Sunnis mostly suck, Shia suck about half as much, Sufis don't suck. There's others of course. But about 90% (by population) of Islam does suck. It does no one any favors to pretend it doesn't. Islam is a stifling ideology of death. I should know, I was raised a Sunni muslim.

What I hear of Islam perplexes me, but the Muslims I've met are all so different that I would hesitate to generalise about them.

Even the young British Muslims include both hate-filled terrorists and also decent people who don't buy into the anti-semitism and extremism and want to see a reform of Islam. Don't know how many there are of the latter, but they certainly exist - I very occasionally encounter them.

Could you post or email me a more detailed narrative of your journey from Palestinian Sunni Muslim to anti-Idiotarian LGF lizardoid? I'd be most interested to hear more specifically what kinds of influences those ZioLogoRays were: was it a Christian/Jewish/athiest girlfriend or roomate, college in Dar-al-Harb (did I get that right?), independent study, just seeing the brutality of much of what passes for Islam, or what?

Please check the LGF style book under insults. Your use of ass-munching dick-cheese is incorrect. It should be ass-munching cheese–dick. The insult first appeared in Hardy’s Jude the Obscure and most famously in the moviePlatoon.

It’s ironic that you would choose this particular term to describe my son as it was his childhood nickname. When he was little I would whittle tiny penises out of sharp cheddar for the little tyke – he loved them. The neighborhood boys, of course, picked up on it pretty quickly.

He hasn’t munched ass in several years but the last time I visited, there was a large block of sharp cheddar in his pantry.

It's pretty common knowledge that if you write negitavely about the PA, they kick you out (or worse) leading cowerdly reporters to repeat the PAs bullshit without question. Israel's new policy may make reporters think twice before bashing their hosts without merit - or risk flying home to work the phones from their desk.

For centuries Arab women have to pick up their miserable broken life daily, messed up by their dominant controlling husbands and above all their pathetic rulers. That causes hands to grow and head to shrink- very simple evolutionary rule.

Doug #353 - first off, thank you for your service.

FAS is generally a little off but useful at times. I had to read a bit to find the 142kts number (associated with T55-L712 engines). The CH-47 got new engines (714A) starting in the late 90's plus it has had airframe improvements. BTW, the information on FAS about the Improved Cargo Helicopter mod is kinda off too; the production and subsequent fielding have slipped, right now there are only 2 test birds. The ICH will have a new cockpit / new front end plus more airframe improvements to go along with the new engines.
Bottom line, it is still faster than the Blackhawk.

I don't know about the CH-46; my guess is that improvements have been put off in favor of the V-22.

Then... quad tilt-rotor

Don't you ever, just once in a while and a little, wish the decency and intelligence had NOT gone out of the best of the Left? After all, a long time ago in Germany and Austria, Social Democrats were genuine Menschen, and their party perhaps the only one not powerfully anti-semitic.
I mean, might it not be more challenging to debate some on the Lefdt who were, unlike Cockburn or Chomsky, honest and thoughtfu?
Dispatching of the LLL types who come on LGF may b4e fun--but isn't hitting a ping pong ball with a Mickey Mantle bat just a bit boring after a while?
Not any fault of LFG regulars, but after tonight's relentless assault by uninformed and non-thinking types---I remember spirited debates in Horn + Hardat in NYC among refugees from Russia and Poland in ca. 1950.

378 ISLAM DOES SUCK  Sun, Nov 2, 2003 6:05:45pm

I'm sorry Andy. While I agree that not all muslims are terrorists, I file that under the "Not all Germans were Nazis" category, in the "totally irrelevant" column. It didn't matter if they weren't all Nazis. The end result was still the same, and at the time, if you had said "Germany Sucks" would it have been en vogue to retort "That's not true. Some Germans are very nice"? No. That would have gotten your ass kicked and rightfully so. Well the same is true for Islam. The moderates are silent and/or powerless to prevent the MUSLIM driven genocide that is taking place on a global scale. So while you are right that there are some good Muslims, so fucking what?! They are of ZERO consequence while they remain quite in the face of murder in their name. By way of productive discourse, can you give me an example of any Muslim orgs that have come out squarely against Muslim terrorism? And I don't mean the bullshit denunciations that are for western ears, or that contain the qualifier "all form of terrorism" because that is doublespeak for I hate Jooos. You can’t. And do you know why? Because ISLAM DOES SUCK.

Don't know all of Evariste's story, but my husband was raised Sunni/Wahabi. He renounced all of that as a teenager. According to him most of that was due to the influence of attending a primary and secondary Catholic school in Pakistan.

He still considers himself a Muslim. But doesn't practice or believe that any other religion is not as valid as Islam. A picture of the Sister who had a big influence on him occupies a place of honor in our home.

I've thought a good deal on why he seems so different from other Muslims I've met and I truly believe the schooling and how he embraced Western culture even before he came here. He's a pro-Israel, pro-America neo-con to the nth degree.

400 comments on the photo and not a single reference to "Marfan's Syndrome?" The intellectual calibre of the forum is slipping.

Of course, how could it not, with the introduction of yet another Livid Lobotmized Leftist troll burbling idiotarian boilerplate about "occupation" while proclaiming his intellectual honesty ... yet refuses to answer a single intellectual argument against his position. Instead, our troll whines and sobs because big, bad scary right-ringers have actually used hurtful language toward him.

And, typical of the LLL, he mouths the words that should never ever be followed with a but --- i.e. "I don't support the murder of innocents..." then he follows them with a "but." The honest formulation should be "When I am sympathetic to the perpetrators, I support the killing of innocents."

And then, he goes back to his own Aluminum Foil Toupee website to proclaim what a hero he is for having the bravery and courage to actually post on a non-leftist forum (!!!). Yeah, nothing says courage like tapping leftist boilerplate on a keyboard and whining about how everyone is flaming you.

Good to see that you are acting in style. Nothing like making fun out of human tragedy. Old, deperate woman made homeless? Kill her with your bare hands, and make fun our of her while you are at it.

BTW, I sincerely doubt that the house was so utterly destroyed by imploding a bomb belt - it takes a lot more explosives than you can strap around yourself to do that kind of damage. I am sure there was willing help around.

But anyway - congrats on having so much fun over human tragedy. Always refreshing to see how willing some regular posters here are to creep down towards the behaviour of other scum such as nazis and terrorist supporters.

Dumbass, did you read the story?

A Hamas fugitive arrested by Shin Bet and IDF forces of the armored corps in the village Hizme near Jerusalem on Thursday, admitted to investigators that he planned to perpetrate a suicide bomb attack in Israel.

He also disclosed the location of the explosives belt he planned to use in the attack, which was hidden underneath the bed of his baby daughter in his home.

When one plays with fire, one gets burned.

My response to that woman? "Tough shit."

Thom, I don't know where you live, but if a member of your family was keeping something highly illegal (guns, drugs - you name it) in the house, would you mind if your house was torn down?

I would never ridicule an Israeli grandmother, soldier, child, or policeman rendered permanently dead, widowed, crippled, or orphaned by a Palestinian explosive belt, but for some old bat left temporarily homeless for hiding the belt... she can get her sympathy from brain-dead, morally vacant terrorist-huggers.

Preponderance of evidence is plenty enough in this case. If I do check under my kids mattress and find marijuana, I don't buy any explanation involving "magical elves."

It is similarly dubious (although not impossible) that this woman had no idea that those terrorists were stashing bombs in her house. Even if she didn't, I still can't find much sympathy in my heart for her temporary situation... especially if it discourages other grannies not to let terrorists stash bombs in their homes.

Okay Ulf, we get it, you're more outraged by the comments of some posters than you are by the fact that there was a belt of explosives stored under a child's bed. Makes perfect sense.

Nothing like making fun out of human tragedy. Old, deperate woman made homeless?

You know she's "desperate" how? I don't ever feel any kind of pleasure when I see photographs like the one of this woman, but it's extremely difficult to feel sympathy. Let's say I'm indifferent. Had the bastard succeeded in detonating that belt on a bus full of Israeli women and children (the preferred target) would you be here condemning that? Somehow I doubt it.

BTW, I sincerely doubt that the house was so utterly destroyed by imploding a bomb belt - it takes a lot more explosives than you can strap around yourself to do that kind of damage. I am sure there was willing help around.

And ...

But it can't do THAT kind of damage, and I challange you to give me an example where it has.

Have you seen what those bomb belts are capable of? Have you seen pictures of the buses ripped to shreds from one of those bomb belts, restaurants blown apart? It doesn't seem unrealistic that detonating the bomb belt could do the damage as reported and let's be honest here, AP, or in this case, the AFP would delight in reporting about it if there had been "willing help around", as you so delicately put it. However since you're the expert in explosives I'll defer to you. After all, you also know that the woman is desperate just by looking at the 'photo.

But you can't can you? So you change the subject.

Why don't you point me to a post where I gloat at human tradegy [sic] instead? Much more relevant.

Nah, why don't you prove your case that we're gloating over human suffering instead of trying to change the subject again? Can't prove that one either can you?

Backing up your moral posturing with opinion is an incredibly weak tactic. Changing the subject even more so.

Ah. So you can't sure what's under there then. Which was my point.

Thom, you better check under your beds NOW. Lord knows what your wife isn't telling you, the Mossad tool that she is... :)

Zulubaby:

Have you seen what those bomb belts are capable of? Have you seen pictures of the buses ripped to shreds from one of those bomb belts, restaurants blown apart? It doesn't seem unrealistic that detonating the bomb belt could do the damage as reported

Yes
Yes
Yes

And a bomb belt made to fit a human would not demolish a house made with reinforced concrete.

If anyone is coming across as a terrorist supporter, it's you.

Ah...by getting upset over people gloating and cheering the misery of someone (possible quite innocent) losing her home?

And I didn't say that those gloating (you are not one of them) were becoming terrorist supporters, just that they shared the tact and humanity of them.

You're stretching things just a weee bit. But if you really believe that poor woman didn't know that a Hamasnik was hiding in her house, and that she had no freakin' idea that a bomb belt was under the kid's bed, then ... wow.

Hmm. I think you're right. She's been acting very strange lately, and the Mossad hypothesis just might explain it. :)

433 Viking the Kitten  Mon, Nov 3, 2003 7:46:42am

I was looking at the photo again. You know, maybe I might feel more sympathy for her if her hands weren't so grotesquely distorted.

It's moved me to compose


They call her Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No one you see, is a martyr like she,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of rubble,
Lying there under, where her house used to be!

So all you see is "human suffering". Totally devoid of context.

Too bad about having to search so hard for your equivocal condemnation of intentional death, destructing and human suffering caused by murderers blowing up bombs in Israel.

And about your third-world modem status.

In college, if you had shown me a picture of a Palestinian in a bombed-out home, I would have felt sympathy. I could easily imagine myself saying "That poor woman. I'm sure the Israelis did what they had to do, but I hope someone takes care of her."

A lot has happened since then. The intifiadah, the suicide bombings that have killed hundreds of innocent Israelis, the rejection of a Peace Deal that I thought was suicidially insane for the Israelis, the celebrating in the streets after 9-11, the cynical manipulation of media by the Palestinians, and the epiphany that most of the people who are against America instinctively side with the Palestinians.

Now, I look at this picture and the only word that comes to mind is "Good."


That and the thought that she could probably perform a handjob on the Washington Monument.

441 Frank IBC  Mon, Nov 3, 2003 9:54:44am

Can the photographer be charged with reckless endangerment, for encouraging the woman to pose inside a partially collapsed house?

442 AK47PUNDIT  Mon, Nov 3, 2003 10:20:59am

Honest Reporting has picked up on this story and has have some more details:

SOMETHING FISHY AT AFP

Dear HonestReporting Subscriber,

The following news photo and caption were released by the AFP (Agence France-Presse) on Saturday (Nov. 1):

[[Link: www.honestreporting.com...]
A Palestinian woman expresses her anger after Israeli Defence Forces detonated an explosive belt they found in her house, destroying the ground and first floor of the building, in the village of Hizmeh near Jerusalem (AFP/Atta Hussein)


Before addressing the details of this event, let's take a close look at the AFP photo itself.

[[Link: www.honestreporting.com...]
A Nikon fisheye lens
The photographer used a wide-angle (fisheye) lens to generate an effect of broad, exaggerated destruction ― note the distorted length of the woman's hands and the "stretched" background buildings. While a wide-angle lens may be fitting for landscape photos, it was clearly neither necessary nor appropriate here. Nikon describes use of its fisheye lenses in this way: "In normal photography these lenses are employed to achieve dramatic effects due to their 'unreal' distortion."

When a photojournalist distorts a picture in this manner, he distorts the event he is purportedly conveying in an objective manner ― a violation of journalistic ethics.

Now, what happened in this house? From the AFP caption, one wouldn't think this woman had any personal connection to the explosive belt ― it was merely "found in her house," which the IDF has, apparently, cruelly destroyed.

The Jerusalem Post , however, reported the essential context that was entirely omitted by AFP: Acting on intelligence, the IDF captured this woman's husband, who then admitted that he had planned to carry out a suicide bombing with an explosive belt that he had hidden under his baby daughter's bed.

Soldiers rushed to the house, evacuated its inhabitants, and safely detonated the explosives. The blast caused the first story of the house to fall ― testimony to the force of its impact that was intended to massacre Israeli civilians.

So an event that illustrates yet again the appalling Palestinian use of children as human shields for terrorist activity (and the quality of IDF intelligence, under constant terror threat), gets twisted around by AFP lenses and caption-writers, who present yet another act of "cruel Israeli aggression." A classic case of anti-Israel media bias.

Comments to AFP: contact@afp.com

Apropos photojournalism: IDF spokeswoman Sharon Finegold recently stated that fully 90% of the news pictures coming out of the Palestinian areas are taken by Palestinian photographers (such as Atta Hussein of the AFP, above). Finegold believes this plays an important role in the overall media distortion of the conflict.

--- EUROPEAN VILIFICATION OF ISRAEL ---

This AFP photo is merely the latest example of European media coverage that consistently distorts the Mideast conflict. What is the cumulative effect of years of European media vilification of Israel?

A highly disturbing poll from the European Commission, due for release today, indicates that almost 60 percent of Europeans believe that Israel is a larger threat to world peace than North Korea, Iran or Afghanistan. When asked, "Does the following country present a threat to peace in the world?", European respondents selected Israel as the number one threat in the world.

The head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center had this response:

This poll is an indication that Europeans have bought in, "hook, line and sinker," to the vilification and demonization campaign directed against the State of Israel and her supporters by European leaders and media.

This poll should be a wakeup call. Media monitors must redouble our efforts in Europe, and remain diligent wherever media bias spins the State of Israel ― in relentless pursuit of peace since its very inception ― as a "threat to world peace."

With Concrete slabs not properly connected to each other, even the big bad wolf huffing and PUFFING WOULD BRING IT DOWN much less a belt ( or laege vest or backpak) of c-4.


LATERAL LOAD RESISTING SYSTEM

The lateral load resisting system consists of bearing walls resting on unreinforced concrete strip foundation. These masonry walls consist of plain concrete with or without stone. They are very thick (40-50 cm) and of high density. Thus the building weight is very high, and it generates high inertia forces during earthquake. The walls are not connected properly to the foundation, to the floor slabs and to each other. The buildings are generally regular and have only minor variation in stiffness between different floors, except the irregularity due to some variations or changes in the stiffness of the internal walls.
The initial stiffness of these walls is not a reliable measure of its strength since it degrades very quickly after the first earthquake shock. This is especially for the buildings having more than two stories (see Figures 5A, 5B and 5C).

Zulubaby:

1. I can see the concrete in the picture. Had it not been reinforced the house would not have stood in the first place.

2. I don't know. I am assuming that the report is true. (As is everyone else that has commented, I might add)

3. I know quite a bit about the force needed to blow up houses.

Where are you, Ulf?

Bosnia, which might explain why I know a bit about blowing up houses. (No, wasn't here during the war, and haven't blown up any houses)

Geepers:

Then how bout this: Go ahead and condemn them right now.

Would this make you happier?

From the bottom of my heart, I believe that anyone using violence against civilians is a ruthless bastard, who deserves to be punished to the full extent of the law. If the justification for such violence is to gain in politics, it aggravates the harm done.

See, it is easy.

BTW, the picture is not taken with a fisheye lens, but with a 14 or 15 mm. A fisheye would have bent straight lines. And I fail to see how using one would be some kind of evil trick, as has been claimed here.

448 zulubaby  Mon, Nov 3, 2003 8:49:58pm

Ulf (#447)

Please read post #442. I understand that you find force against civilians appalling, but you're making a lot of assumptions based on a photograph. I know others here are too but you're flaming them for it while doing the same yourself. Fact: A Hamas bastard hid a bomb belt under a child's bed in that house. No getting around that one.

What are you doing in Bosnia? Were you born there? If you'd rather not say, I understand, I'm just curious.

449 Ulf  Mon, Nov 3, 2003 10:06:44pm

Zulubaby:

I read the article, but after the discussion on the ethics of using wide angle lenses, I got kind of tiireed. The lens used is NOT a fish-eye, but an extreme wide angle. Photographers use them all the time, especially in PJ, and especially when you want to show a person AND his/her surroundings. Nothing wrong with that, and to start discussing the ethics of the PJ based on htat is more than a little looney.

As for drawing assumptions - guilty as charged. And note that I didn't flame anyone for doing so, but rather for the bad taste in ridiculing someone who clearly is in trouble...it gives me a bad taste in my mouth when I see others finding joy in their fellow humans misery, regardless of the race or creed of the sufferer.

No, not born in Bosnia. Have been working here for three or something years, doing mainly property and return work, now just waiting to get out of here...something that will happen tomorrow, if the rather ultra beuraucratic state I'm going to can get their thumbs out of their asses and issue a visa to an unbeliever.

And of course we'll only laugh in a "good" way, and not because of this woman (who, did I mention, has freakishly large hands?)'s human suffering.

457 zulubaby  Tue, Nov 4, 2003 6:23:22am

Ulf (#449)

Your heart is bleeding for this woman based on what your read of the photograph is while admonishing others for not having the same emotional response.

It's all bullshit if you ask me (and even if you don't). Houses can be rebuilt. Dead is dead. I used to have sympathy for the Palestinians until I realized that they don't care about what I think or feel, I'm a Jew and therefore a legitimate target. I don't take an ounce of pleasure in this woman's house being destroyed but I can't care about it either. Rather that bomb belt destroy walls than human beings. The IDF detonated that bomb belt and nobody died as a result. Left in the hands of the Hamas bastard several people would have been vaporised. According to the media the Palestinians are always the victim, even the terrorists. Don't be so naive. There was a powerful bomb hidden under a child's bed. What parent does such a thing? Why are you not appalled by that?

458 V the K  Tue, Nov 4, 2003 6:23:41am

"The IDF did the one effective thing to the family of the suicide bomber, they destroyed physical property. They have no value for their lives or their childrens, lives = cannon fodder. But physical property like land, trees and buildings have vast unlimited value." #143, quark 2

of course the buildings have value and Palistinian lives are worthless... Palestine is occupied by the Tunisian henchmen of Arafat.

That's why each permanent, UN-funded "refugee camp" (aka towns) has a fortess in it's center, with a Tunisian inside and torture rooms in the cellar.

This may explain why new Arab "settlements" (aka "suburbs") outnumber Jewish ones by nearly two to one. The Tunisians are developers!

Islamic aristos, who hate both, want the land, and have gotten the the Palis and Jews to kill each other.

Arafat kept trying to carve out his own country using Arab bodies, and the Jews are a maddening reminder of Arabic culture's failure to conquer the world.

A question- don't the Jews buy the land for their "settlements"? Is the media promoting the idea that they march in, guns a-blazin'?

In American settlement, Eastern barons would send out thousands of agents to claim large segments of "newly opened territories", and these scalpers would resell the land to settlers.

That may be why the Saudi's selected Arafat and his PLO to be the "sole representative of Palestine" in 1973, after the failure of the Arab League's attack on Israel during Yom Kippur.

He had proved his moxie in the time-honored Arab fashion with the 1972 Olympic killings. (Killing Jews and opposition began with Mohammed in the formerly Jewish city of Medina).

He obviously wanted his own caliphate and was good at Islamic cultural improvement- a failed taking of Jordan (aka Palestine), the shattering of the only Christian Arab country, Lebanon, and the Tunisian-backed Algerian Islamic civil war.
