U.S. refuses to condemn Israel attack

Have the Palestianian leaders condemned Hamas for threating to attack the US in retaliation?

[weegee]

The White House struck a hard line against Hamas, expressing concern about Israel's deadly strike against militant leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin...

Militant leader? Why doesn't the press just come out and call him a terrorist?

I wonder if Rachel Corrie would have gladly traded her life for his.

I hope the American Jewish voter remember, that Bush is the best friend Israel ever had in a US president.

I think that the lie that Israel supposedly represents Judaism will make itself evident in the next election.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm seeing little evidence that Bush has gained any appreciable support from the American Jewish population (would've said community, but I hate the over-use of that word).

It appears to me that, with the exception of hard-line orthodox Jews, that "acceptance" by the perceived larger community is more important than principle.

The surprisingly mild State Department reproof is encouraging. Israel should target and eliminate other Palestinian terrorist leaders. As President Bush expressed it well last week, "There is no neutral ground. The battle is between those who are good and those who are evil. The terrorists should be hunted down and killed." There is little question Israel is on the former side and the PLO/Hamas is on the other. Israel's act deserves to be cheered on by all good and decent people for it has now established a precedent as important as Israel's strike on the Osiraq reactor in Iraq back in the 1980s. Israel will not sit around waiting for the terrorists to eliminate its existence. Rather, following the injunction of the Talmud, the Jewish State will rise up to kill him to who comes to kill her first. And that is exactly what Israel did in sending Sheik Yassin to his grave on Monday.

Words cannot describe the emotion of anger against Miga and the Boston Herald FOR IGNORING THE LIST OF THE MURDERED.

Terrorist Yassin is responsible for AT LEAST 377 dead, and 2,076 wounded.

including 3 American diplomats in Gaza. The list of names is here.

On, Off, or grab it for a Media Shenanigans/Schadenfreude ping:
