Hell, it’s borderline expected which is part of the reason the Palestinians and other Muslim groups are seemingly given a pass when this stuff happens.

For that to happen though a lot of people in Washington will have to admit that they were dead wrong about Fatah being moderates.

But this particular outrage (the magazine cover) wasn’t perpetrated by Hamas.

No the outrageous magazine article wasn’t perpetrated by Hamas but the murder of innocent high school students was perpetrated by Hamas and much like the Japanese and German civilians suffered due to their governments hostile acts during WWII then so should the Hamas “government” and its people that support and elect such a vile and violent “government.”

You reap what you sow…

Damn. Is that Derek Jeter?

Actually, I thought he looked like Jerry Seinfeld with a suntan…

My friend Scott Johnson at Power Line wonders whether President Bush understands that the money the US sends to Mahmoud Abbas winds up supporting terrorism instead of fighting it.

I can hear Arafat’s widow exclaiming, “I have more shoes than Emelda…I have more shoes than Emelda…nah..nah…!”

Given that the funds for this publication come from the same organization we subsidize, it’s a fair question. Is this what our money buys — a celebration of the mass murder of children?

I have been saying for years that we need to cut off the funding as they don’t use it to make a better life for themselves but instead use the money to line their own pockets (like Arafat did) to fund murder against innocent Israeli’s, to fund terrorism, and to fund its war against the west.

What is even more disgusting is we continue to send them money after these “peace loving” savages celebrated in the streets on 9-11, it literally makes me want to vomit knowing some of the money I pay in taxes go to these murderers! Seriously, after their celebration on 9-11 these pathetic excuses for humans should not have received one damn penny of our money, EVER AGAIN!

“The Shahid Alla Heydrich and Himmler, for their shahada acts of exterminating infidel fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, boys and girls in the liberation camps of Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, Buchenwald, Dachau, and Bergen-Belsen, et al.

Congratulations, Gentlemen, the religion of peace commends your altruistic acts of gentleness and love, with persistence.”

…cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan…

Ahah! Finally found a place where this fits!

It’s crazier still that we are talking about supporting a Palestinian state which would only empower the Palestinians to perpetrate more crimes with more resources and more legitimacy.

And it will only get worse. The average age in the “territories” is around 15, a majority male and uneducated. They are being raised to be horny, ignorant monsters whose only hope for any kind of satisfactory existance is in death. We should not subsidize them, we should accomodate them.

Um, we are talking about a man who is now touted as a martyr for killing innocent children. I personally think that qualifies as being guilty of something a bit more than obnoxious.

It is the very essence of obnoxious, and when a government (or quasi-government) is guilty of such moral intransigence, there should be consequences to that government and thereby to the people who enable it. I disagree, however, that the penalty should be eradication.

I am a strong supporter of Israel for personal, moral and religious reasons. I share the outrage that most of you feel because of this insane act perpetrated against the Israelis, and your outrage at the celebration of it by the Palestinian government and the Palestinian people. If Israel decides to take action to bring anyone involved to justice, or to take any rational steps to protect themselves, I will continue to support them.

I agree that the examples of Dresden and Hiroshima/Nagasaki are thought-provoking, there are real and stark differences. Probably the most important of those is the fact that Gaza and the West Bank do not constitute a serious military threat to Israel or anyone else (other than themselves). That is small consolation to those whose loved ones are killed or injured, I know. I also know that Hamas has claimed responsibility for the act, and if that proved to be true, and to the extent that Hamas can be considered a government, the people of Gaza can and should be held responsible for their governments acts. But this particular outrage (the magazine cover) wasn’t perpetrated by Hamas.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Some cultures, ours and Israel’s, mourn killing and the loss of life. We do what we can to minimize collateral damage. In some cultures the concept of an “innocent” or the idea that taking a life is solemn do not exist.

The peace process assumes that both sides are reasonable people that want to aviod conflict and ensure rights. We can see how far this cultural assumption errs by reading the caption under the PA’s official newspaper’s photo. You cannot fix the problem when you are unaware of what it is.

That was far more effective, and less costly, in dollars and lives.

Israel is never gonna cut a deal with the Palestinians because Palestinians don’t want what’s fair, they want everything the Israelis got, including their lives.

More and more, it looks like the Israelis need to do the Palestinians in before they are done in. There is no reasoning with these people.

Haven’t you ever seen a Chi T-shirt? He used to love killing 12-year-olds… In 10 years I can see Cho T-shirts being chic….

Well that’s just hard cheese for them.

I have two words for the moderates in “palestine” – Dresden/Hiroshima.

There were some innocents there as well.

If our current bunch of “peacefuls” had been in charge then, we’d still be fighting Nazis and Shinto-ists.

There may be fewer innocents in Gaza or the West Bank than in many other places, but there are some. To advocate the mass-killing of all Palestinians because of the sins of some of them is immoral and grossly unfair. Being wrong and offensive is not, as far as I know, a capital crime in America–which is all that many in Gaza are guilty of. If it were, there’d be some serious killing to do right here in the states before we started eradicating any foreign populations.

Let’s limit our nuking to those guilty of something more than being obnoxious.

That is 1/2 the story. If Israel’s or our demise comes about as a result of the actions of the guilty on the other side, are their innocents still innocent?? What responsibility do their innocents have to stop their own leaders from waging perpetual terrorism? Why not just refer to Dresden or Nagasaki or Hiroshima or other such examples from the past and draw your conclusions. Let’s not re-invent special rules of morality just for jews in Israel.
