The irony is that Islam is the disease they carry.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to suspect that the wall breach in January was done in order to facilitate this attack.

I think it is. The breach took a lot of resources, and they wouldn’t do it for the sake of a single attack that was more likely to fail or have a low body count than to kill the number of people they hoped to. If the point of the breach was to facilitate attacks, it would involve multiple attempted attacks, not just this one. At this point, we don’t know if any other attacks have been or will be attempted.

It is a reminder of who the Israelis are dealing with and why they might tend to mete out collective punishment

I think that just the fact that you say they might means that you’ve already bought in a bit to Palestinian propaganda. Compared to other nations dealing with serious terror threats, the punishment that Israel metes out is among the least collective imaginable. The fact that even a defender of their actions would assume otherwise shows just how powerful Palestinian propaganda is.

These people are as much our enemy as the rest of the Jihadiacs.

“The Israeli society should be shamed by this footage, especially the families who raised such monsters,” added Tibi.”

Israelis moon, Palestinians go “kaboom,” but the Israelis are the ones who should be shamed…

With an Israeli government run by crooks and idiots, a left-wing Israeli media that exhibits clinically suicidal tendencies, the Israeli people are suffering and will suffer until they finally get another Begin who won’t take all the crap. Or at least an honest government. That would be new!

Such lovely people. I have an idea! Let’s give them a state!!! /sarc

Egypt is a huge country. Take Gaza back and give half of Egypt to the bombers of peace.

Of course, people who oppose minimum wage laws because the victims of minimum wage law are poor are someway called callous about the poor. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by the mindless name-calling reaction of the left (or the Huckabee Right) about telling the truth about the Palestinians.

Life experience can be an ugly thing, and in my 40+ years experience with Palestinians, (all the way before Arafat) has been how disgusting so many of these people are. When you think they have hit the bottom, they always bounce down lower. What a mentality these people have “evolved” to. It looks to me like they always seem to get what they diserve. Too bad thy lack the mentality to wise up.

It’s hard to reconcile them both. I have to understand, I suppose, that it’s possible for them to be both sweet to the tourists while celebrating the deaths of Israelis (and me, if they had the chance). I suppose since I’m not all that two-faced, it’s difficult for me to comprehend people who are.

“Homicide” bombers? Interesting new terminology. The press screwed up this time, though; it almost expresses a moral condemnation of the murderer instead of the Joo victim. Woops.

“Homicide bombers” is a term used by Fox News to put the focus on the victims rather than on the perpetrator. It also reflects the intent of the bombers because murder is their primary objective. The suicide (”martyrdom”) is just a bonus and can’t be achieved without the murderous intent. It makes sense as an editorial decision, so Fox is the only outlet using the term.

Of course, the media only shows photos of the motorcycles that Gazans bought in Egypt. There’s almost no mention of the tons of weapons that went into Gaza as well.

Hamas, which is Iran’s client, is preparing for the next offensive against Israel. Hezbullah prepares on their northern border. And there is Hamas in the West Bank, as well as the other terrorist groups.

I’ve been writing about Israel on my blog for six years now.

The next war will have many, many Israeli casualties. Not that most of the world gives a damn about dead Jews.

It’s a relief to be around people who do care.

When will the UN and other international agencies decry the collective punishment?

Oops, my bad. The Israelis haven’t responded yet.

Watch the video link again.

Israel responded to the suicide bombings by blowing up the car of the Popular Resistance Committee’s leader, Abu Said Qarmout. The attack killed Qarmount, and injured two members of the group who were riding with him. The P.R.C. has been behind a good portion of the rockets fired into southern Israel from Gaza.

One Israeli was killed in the attack, but one of the bombers was shot dead before he could detonate his explosives…

What? You mean he wasn’t given a fair trial?

If he’s dead how is he going to take part in John McCain’s plan to close Guantanamo Bay and more the terrorists to the US for trials?

We live in interesting times. We need strong, effective leadership.

“Some people, of course, think that it’s possible to live with a nuclear Iran. That thinking is based on the theory that Iran, once it’s granted the privilege of becoming a member of the nuclear club, that it will be a responsible actor. Neither their words nor their actions justify that kind of thinking.” (Governor Mitt Romney, Remarks At Yeshiva University, 4/26/07)
