Hamas Leader Goes Home for the Holidays

Israel assassinated a Hamas strongman on Thursday in its first assault on the top leadership of the territory's ruling group, escalating a crushing aerial offensive even as it declared itself ready to launch a ground invasion.

Check out the picture of a Jewish man looking at the damage inflicted by a Palestinian rocket in a classroom.

You could end it all today Hamas. But you won't.

In other news, resupply for Hamas has become a dire issue.

Darn.

Thanks to tips from commenters Dang and Sherlock. Couple of knuckleheads who hang out here.

Lebanon was a different issue. Israel held all of Lebanon responsible for Hezbollah's actions with the justification Hezbollah was a legitimate political party - even though they weren't the ruling party. Hamas is the ruling party of Gaza. Therefore, all of Gaza is fair game.

7 Powerline has neat videos from IDF that YouTube took down. One shows some "civilians" *snicker* loading rockets into a pickup just before they assumed room temperature.

Their journey to room temperature was a tough one - they first had to go through the state of "shockwave of incandescent gas, expanding at supersonic speed".

Humor helps temper the fear terrorists inspire, I like the crazy arab and stupid terrorist videos where they blow themselves up. But nothing is more important than reading the Qur'an and finding out the truth about Islam in the words of Muhammed himself from the same book that Muslims read and are inspired by. They are for sale online at Amazon and other book stores. The world must know what the Qur'an really says. (Sura 2:29)

Hey Dave! I thought you'd be waiting outside Guitar Center for the doors to open. Big sale coming!

Celebratory donuts were the order of the day around here! This morning's news made the Start of David shaped sugar cookies we got yesterday sooo much sweeeeter!

RLS, thanks for the heads up on the videos. Gotta love the missile views! I do wish they'd shoot some of that stuff in HD color. You know, for the kids.

Israel rejected another cease-fire. Can't figure out the damn tinyurl thing but I read it on Al-Jazeera.

7HEAVENS, what's the gist of the Quran? I've read the Bible and I understand the structure of it. Is the Quran similar or different?

15 And, of course, the AP at it again, using the term "assassinated"... the guy was a legit military target.

as long as there are Pals in Gaza they will continue to kill jewish ppl, the only solution is a very harsh one, one that Isreal has basically been banned from using, Isreal needs to elect a leader that will do what has to be done, world opinion be damned

7HEAVENS, what's the gist of the Quran? I've read the Bible and I understand the structure of it. Is the Quran similar or different?

Completely different. While the Bible is sort of chronological, the Qur'an does not actually have an obvious structure in the same way. The first Revelation given to the Prophet starts at Sura (chapter) 96:1-5. It does not contain much contemporary history like the Bible does. Muhammed was illiterate and had to have one of his followers who could read negotiate and sign peace treaties for him. His followers wrote down what was revealed to him by the Angel Gibrial and he recited its location relative to the other verses. He actually ascended into Makkah to Jerusalem was transported throughtout the universe and the 7HEAVENS. Allah showed him Heaven and Hell and when he returned he was able to describe everything.

By now, these Gaza asymmetrical rules are old hat. We know why they persist

Yeah, simple fear and weakness, so very typical of Liberals and Liberalism.

Posted by: 7HEAVENS at January 01, 2009 01:57 PM (/CPVk)

22 Israel needs to wipe out the Palestinians once and for all. What's stopping them? International outcry? Who cares, even the White House has to issue the obligatory call for a "wink, wink" cease-fire. So what's next? Iran is a punk bitch. If they had a nuclear device and wanted to vaporize Tel Aviv they would have done it by now. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Israeli F-16s flying patrols around the country are armed with nuclear weapons and ready for Go Time. Divert north to Tehran and drop off a deuce. Fuck 'em. It has to happen eventually, better sooner rather than later.

It is simply a fact that everyone should know what Islam is really all about from the same text that Muslims read especially a piece of Arabian propaganda since it is such an important force in the world of terrorism, child killing, honor killing, grandparent bombing and general Islamist mayhem and bullshit today.

43 I've heard from several reliable sources that Mohammed was a pedophile illiterate war lord false prophet who ran slaves and committed genocide on the Jews at Medina. Hardly seems the kind of chap our Lord would use as any sort of a messenger. Just sayin'.

44 Well, Arafat was a known child predator and so was one of those Hissybollah weenies, what's your point? If you're just going to send them out with a cracker and a book-bag full of Semtex, why wouldn't you take advantage of them before they're blown to shreds?
Shessssssssh, just because you kill a few thousand people with your rhetoric and molest unprotected children that you are supposed to be protecting doesn't make you a bad person. For instance, I hear Arafat did macrame and Sudoku. Sound like a monster to you?
Mohammad was just giving those kids some valuable life lessons about how sore your ass gets riding a camel all the time. Always giving, the Prophet, always.
What a sport.
