Pass the soap, Pabianice!

"Everyone in southern Lebanon is a terrorist and is connected to Hezbollah," roared Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon on July 27.
"Every village from which a Katyusha is fired must be destroyed," bellowed an Israeli general in a quote bannered by the nation's largest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth.
The Israeli paper then summarized what the justice minister and general were saying: "In other words, a village from which rockets are fired at Israel will simply be destroyed by fire." That was Thursday.
Sunday, in Qana, 57 of Haim Ramon's "terrorists," 37 of them children, were massacred with precision-guided bombs. Apparently, Katyushas had been fired from Qana, near the destroyed building.
"One who goes to sleep with rockets shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't wake up in the morning," said Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Dan Gillerman.
Today, we hear unctuous statements about how Israel takes pains to avoid civilian casualties, drops leaflets to warn civilians to flee target areas, and conforms to all the rules of civilized warfare.
But Israel's words and deeds contradict her propaganda. As the war began, Ehud Olmert accused Lebanon, which had condemned Hezbollah for the killing and capture of the Israeli soldiers, of an "act of war." Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz publicly threatened "to turn back the clock in Lebanon by 20 years."
Gillerman, at a pro-Israel rally in New York, thundered, "[T]o those countries who claim that we are using disproportionate force, I have only this to say: You're damn right we are."
"His comments drew wild applause," said the Jerusalem Post.

And yet be portrayed as a "typical" Republican.
Vietnam and the current war is proof that we can fight a war for an extended period of time, but will we ever WIN one? We should take notes from Israel!!
Does Mr B have antique, WWII era German uniforms that he likes to dress up in?
I missed that one by Paul Craig Roberts, but I have just read it. Good God!!! It's simply unbelievable. EVERYBODY, go to post 54 and click the link for the Roberts piece. He's actually saying that our military is having its ass beat in Iraq because the terrorist cause is so righteous!!! How could so many people hate Jews more than they hate islamo terrorits, and more than than they hate UBL?? How can you hate Jews more than you love your country?
Ditto. It's awfully hard to direct effective fire from moral high ground, nor does it help hide you from ...INCOMING!.
In a choice between moral high ground, and the Golan heights, guess where I'd park the artillery.
Yeah, a case of:
re. Pat B:
Somewhere a village is missing it's idiot.
Patrick Buchanan is not a follower of Y'shua;he is a racist pagan doing the work for the Evil One
Man alive! You're right. How can anyone get it all so wrong? But you've nailed it. They hate Jews more than they love their own country.
Astute observation, Sabramerican! I didn't notice it myself (Jews bellow, roar and thunder). Wow! I once thought Pat Buchanan was a decent man, but his obvious anti-Semitism is disgusting. What little respect I still had for him is now gone.
Did you read that PCR piece??? I have NEVER EVER EVER EVER seen anything so horrible written by a "conservative". This filthy piece of shit is actually rejoicing in the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq, portarying cowardly terrorist animals as a brave rag tag bunch of fighters bravely standing up to the mighty, evil US empire, surviving only on their world renowned Arab courage and the righteousness of their cause. Again -- how can anybody possibly hate Jews that much?
Pat's not a very well-informed Catholic.
"If Israel is not in violation of the principle of proportionality, by which Christians are to judge the conduct of a just war, what can that term mean? There are 600 civilian dead in Lebanon, 19 in Israel, a ratio of 30-1, though Hezbollah is firing unguided rockets, while Israel is using precision-guided munitions."
The principle of proportionality does NOT mean you gotta get as many of your folks killed off as you kill off the other guy.
What an idiot.
Proportionality means that the harm you inflict must be at least commensurate with the good that you're trying to achieve.
In that Israel if fighting to survive, for its existence, to prevent some millions of Jews from being murdered by Muslims, that seems commensurate to a whole bunch more than 600 lives, many of whom actually are illegal, immoral combatants.
ROTFL! That one may be old to some, but I've never heard it before and think it's funny as hell. Thanks...
I think there is a subtle difference.
The cause could earn someone a PhD.
Novak hates Israel. He hates it with the passion of the most virulent Arab. He hates it like those Neturei Karta Jews. On a scale of 10, Novak's hatred of Israel is a 12.
But, raw anti Semitism is not readily visible in what he writes about Israel. Lies, propaganda is all there, but you are hard put to find raw hatred of Jews- or maybe I've just missed it.
On the other hand, Buchanan is all about anti Semitism. No one believes that he takes the Arab side for love of Arabs. It's all a deep demented hatred of Jews from Buchanan.
Nice work EC. Hateful man with an audience.
Just skimmed enough to get sick. Helps with the bulemia.
