		<description>#35. Pat J - re Israeli genocide.

From one of the Israel blogs I always go to when there is trouble over there:
http://www.israellycool.com/2009/01/03/operation-cast-lead-sat-sun-jan-3rd-4th-2009

Especially look at the Updates at 12:52 PM and at 8:15 PM. The first one says this:

    &quot;Number of Palestinian Arabs in 1948 = 1,308,00.

    &quot;Number of Palestinian Arabs in 2008 = 10,574,521.

    &quot;Israeli attempted genocide of Palestinian Arabs over 60 years = EPIC FAIL!&quot;

The later one says this, after embedding a video of Israelis trying to save a Pal child:

    &quot;Just face it. When it comes to being genocidal, we really, really suck.&quot;

That doesn&#039;t seem to make it into the news too often for some reason.</description>

		<description>The ironic thing is, Wolfowitz and the neocons are probably the last friends the Palestinians had on the American right. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for a while but I&#039;ve lost all hope in a two-state solution. And frankly never trusted it to begin with. The political entity known as Palestine is a creation of the Arab states, formed in opposition to the creation of a Jewish state in their midst. It&#039;s not an ethnicity, it&#039;s a death cult. 

John Bolton is on the right track.

Spindok - I&#039;d love to learn more about the cancer-detecting canines and would appreciate any sources you might recommend. Is there anything these wonderful animals don&#039;t do for us?

		<description>As long as Israel tacitly accepts that the American president has the ultimate sovereign power over its wars, I say God bless Israel in its struggle to live free. (and as long as it doesnt sell hardware to china and assorted strategic enemies of its ONLY benefactor in this world). A tiny nation surrounded by hundreds of millions of fanatics who want it dead... and yet yet managing to avoid the blood of unarmed yet deadly enemies of its existence. A mere 200 civilian casualties with all this firepower!

 And arrest and prosecute UN human rights commissioners , especially of hindu origins,for accusing Israel of war crimes. (thus aiding and abetting the NON-STOP war crimes of the Arabs).</description>

		<description>I think that much of the world is waking up to the fact that the Israelis have had enough.

The problem with prolonged semi-restraint is that when the tipping point comes it is much greater in scale than it would have been before.

Israel is &#039;all in&#039; now.  There is no turning back on this.  Stupid UN resolution is nothing but a press release to cover their own butts.  What good is a ceasefire which neither side agrees to?  

The rules will change now, one way or the other.  Reading the MSM body counts and punditry, and it is painfully obvious that they dont know what is really happening, only confounds the reader into talking points and old worn out sophistry.  They havent quite grasped that this is war now, no simple border clash.

The soldiers now determine the course of events.  As much as we can understand the suffering of ordinary people, I have yet to see a precedent for what Israel has done to allow for civilian aid under fire.  

Now comes the third stage.  Maybe as Hamas leaders are evacuated to Cairo to negotiate this morning they will find a way out.  I doubt it.  Too caught up in their own rhetoric and ideology. 

Third stage is much worse than what we have seen thus far and Hamas fighters and not as prepared as they thought.

I keep thinking about the dogs - Israeli bomb sniffers. I have a great sniffer type dog, a beagle mix. (research has proven that trained sniffer dogs can detect lung and breast cancer better than an experienced Radiologist with all of the CT and MRI data, from a simple breath sample). IDF sends out their dogs in advance as frontline troops.

Dogs.  Who woulda thought.

		<description>&quot;The anti Semitic press needs to sit down, shut up and quit whining. You’ve lost all credibility with anyone possessing a brain&quot;. 

Replace the words &#039;anti Semitic press&#039; with &#039;Pajamas Media journalists and followers&#039;, and the world would be a much better place for all.</description>

		<description>Genocide...

Yet again today an army near routing its deadly adversary withheld its advantage to allow for passage of needed supplies to civilians.  

That decision is not without cost.

I think time is near for the big Franco-Egypto-Americo- plan to close this out.  Hamas cannot possibly claim anything like winning here.  Maybe in London or Santa Cruz , but not in the real world.

Anyway, who knows, since the real deals are all under the radar now. They should find a way to stop all of this.

Shalom to all

		<description>Just wondering, to those who implied as such: If Israel&#039;s goal is genocide, what is taking them so long? Shouldn&#039;t a large centrally located population without a modern army or equipment make it a rather easy task?</description>

		<description>Vaughn:
I agree completely. The only news I am interested in, is to hear that the last Palestinian is dead. Only then, can peace prevail for the Israelis.
--------------------------------
So you have no problem with genocide?</description>

		<description>Ah, Cederford the anti-Zionist stooge reappears. Reasonable on just about any other subject, but completely insane on Israel. Doesn&#039;t &quot;The New American&quot; have a web blog where you can go to kick the Jews around? It&#039;s like you turn into Gore Vidal every time the IDF fires up the tanks.

You know Cedarford, Egypt could broker a deal to allow all the &quot;civilians&quot; out of Gaza for a month, and Hamas could show the IDF how brave they are. But that would last about 5 days, Hamas would be killed to the man, and, for the most part, everyone in the region would be relieved. 

In a perverse way, you are correct: without dead children (the women are mostly shapeless blobs, so it is hard to manufacture misplaced sympathy for them in video footage without showing at least a little wrist or ankle), Hamas doesn&#039;t have a future. The only way they can win is to get as many of their children killed as possible so they can videotape the bodies for the big babies in the West. Welcome to the youtube age of warfare. I wonder what Sherman would do? Patton?

BTW, if Paul Wolfowitz ever dies under mysterious circumstances, you&#039;re my prime suspect.</description>
