Is there anything, anything at all that they haven't attacked Israel for??

[Shalom Israel]

This article doesn't quite pass the smell test. They completely fail to say why Israel is supposedly doing this. What's the rationale? How exactly are sonic booms supposed to "turn the general population against the militants"? It makes absolutely no sense--which is the usual hallmark of Pali propaganda.

"Holocaust? Hah! The Israelis slaughtered every man, woman and child in the occupied territories! (Well, some of us got better...)"

palestine deserves it.

Israel gets bombed on a day to day basis by something or other hat some palastinian whipps out his rear end...

Israel Gives them land, then they give MORE land, they PULL OUT leaving them at peace, they have PEACE TALKS, and still Palastinians want to destroy Israel.

Well I say Israel has put their honest peace effort forth, the Palastinians rejected, they should get what they are asking for - their own personal war.

Israel is already lobbing rockets here & there back at them (well actually missiles to be correct). Personally I say they should just gear up & go for an all-out invasion.

Reducing it to eye for an eye Israel could wipe out a percentage of Palestine for all of their people killed.

My thoughts exactly - it doesn't add up to a heap of beans. My guess is there is some truth (noisy nights?) which has been overcooked.

[Straight Vermonter]

Basma said shyly, "We are afraid when we hear the boom. I wet my bed. During the day when we go to school, we are afraid and try to hide."

This story is a fabrication. I can not believe a 10 year old would admit to a perfect stranger that she wet the bed.

Awwwwwwwwwwww!

The poor, poor Palis.

Hey Pailis - if you don't like it, move back to your country - JORDAN!

[Lurker]

"Dr." Sarraj is an apologist for muslim (I refuse to call them palestinians, there's no such thing...) murderers.

When I was a kid the USAF routinely broke the sound barrier on the East Coast. Sometimes it would startle you and sometimes it would be cause for laughter. I never remember it "terrifying" anybody.

[boomop1]

It wouldn't piss them off a bit to strap a bomb on one of the little darling's and have it make a sonic boom, offing some Israelis.

[GeronL]

They should be getting to real booms by now.

[West Coast Conservative]

Hey Pailis - if you don't like it, move back to your country - JORDAN!

Exactly! I'm sick and tired of hearing how the poor and oppressed "Palestinians" don't have a state.

[papertyger]

Targeting innocent civilians violates the Geneva Conventions. Both Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups have asked Israeli High Court to stop the air force from this practice.

Collateral racket?

[papertyger]

"Dr. Eyad Sarraj, a psychiatrist in Gaza, says it is the children who's beebers are stuned."

[Aussiebabe]

Just another example of the MSM, in this case ABC, being on side of terrorists instead of the good guys. I wonder how long it will take the free world to realize that a significant number of journalists are promoting the terrorists agenda?

[happyathome]

Zackly.

I was going to offer an alternative headline..."Booms from Palestinian homicide bombings terrify Israeli children."

[jslade]

Well, the Palistinian Air Force should respond in kind. What? No planes. Nevermind.

[beaversmom]

Collateral racket?

LOL

[Shannon]

What a ridiculous article. I don't ever recall reading any articles from ABC about the space shuttle re-entry causing terror among children in Florida. And that's a double sonic boom.

[AZRepublican]

I hope Beltone doesn't get any funny ideas from this.....
