Mourners carry the coffins of Israeli Arabs Hanna Hamam, 62, and Ladida Mazzawi, 67, who were killed Sunday night in a Hezbollah rocket attack, during their funeral in the city of Haifa, northern Israel, Monday, Aug. 7, 2006. Hezbollah fired its deadliest rocket barrage Sunday on Israel, killing 12 Israeli reservists and three civilians. That brought the Israeli death toll to 94, including 46 soldiers, the 12 reservists and 36 civilians.

I got that impression...I guess every open society produces someone with the Sheehan effect...

Did you listen to JD Hayworth subbing for Laura Ingraham today??

He was reading something about "End Game Conservatives" that are going against "Bush's Wilsonian Plan" for getting the radical Islamists to change their behaviour because of what WE do...and that the "end" of our usefulness is here in Iraq..and that only other Muslims can change the radical Muslims.

It was an article written by Jeb Babbin...

SOOOOOO..I guess that is where the GOP is going in getting away from President Bush...but, the outcome may be the same of the lefties and the End Game Conservatives...pull the troops now.

That's the most interesting post I've seen in a while. You've not posted for nearly 4 months and now you want a picture. I give you the "unique" post of the day award (LOL)

How can you say their ages mean a darn thing re: harming us??

Yesha Rabbis Against Refusal to Fight
19:30 Aug 08, '06 / 14 Av 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Leading rabbis in Judea and Samaria stated Tuesday afternoon that Jewish law prohibits soldiers from refusing to fight the retaliatory war against Hizbullah terrorists. The statement was made shortly after the sister of a fallen soldier, during her eulogy of him, publicly called for a former chief rabbi of the IDF to leave the funeral. She went on to call for refusal.

Rabbi Dov Lior, the rabbi of Kiryat Arba, said fighting in the war is a mitzvah.

Many supporters of Jewish life in Judea and Samaria have vehemently objected to a comment made last week by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that victory in the retaliatory war will pave the way for further expulsions. Many have called for refusals, saying it does not make sense for a soldier to fight in order to be expelled from his home. Olmert since has said he is sorry he made that statement.

Last week, one soldier was killed in action several months after police kicked and beat him in an anti-expulsion demonstration.

Call 'em up.

Tell them you're with the F.I.A. and they're going to Gitmo.

See what happens.

Jimma is now certifiably insane. This is from an interview he gave the Guardian printed today. Notice his total lack of knowledge about Qana.

"Israel belatedly announced, but did not carry out, a two-day cessation in bombing Lebanon, responding to the global condemnation of an air attack on the Lebanese village of Qana, where 57 civilians were killed and where 106 died from the same cause 10 years ago. As before there were expressions of "deep regret," a promise of "immediate investigation" and the explanation that dropped leaflets had warned families in the region to leave their homes."
