Nothing plays better in the mainstream media these days than wailing Gazans, mourning their dead from Israeli missile strikes responding to the unprovoked deluge of Hamas rockets on the Jewish state. As Ben Wedeman (CNN) recently reported from Jabalia, “There is no Iron Dome in Gaza to protect civilians.” But Gaza civilians most need protection from Hamas. Its leaders intentionally jeopardize their lives by embedding rocket-launching and ammunition storage sites in schools, mosques and hospitals located in civilian neighborhoods.
In Gaza, recruits for martyrdom in the holy war against Israel are urged to gather on rooftops. They are instructed by their demented leaders to serve as a human shield against Israeli retribution for thousands of rockets that have been fired into the Jewish state during the past week. The designated locations for martyrdom are not random. Beneath the rooftops are Hamas command centers and tunnels, where leaders take refuge and weapons are stored.
According to Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri: “This attests to the character of our noble, Jihad-fighting people who defend their rights and their homes with their bare chests and their blood.” He proudly cited the exemplary “martyr” Nizar Riyan, the senior Hamas leader during the 2009 Gaza war. Receiving a warning phone call from the IDF to evacuate his house, he chose to remain in place, thereby consigning his four wives, ten children and himself to martyrdom from the Israeli air strike that he knew was imminent.

Don't take this personal, but there is no such thing as a Palestinian. Most are Arabs that no Arab country wants. When I say most are Arabs, some are not. Yassar Arafat, Allah damn his soul to hell, and peace to you, was an Egyptian. As for palis being civilians, well ... there isn't much civil about them. After all, they are mostly Muslims and as such have their minds infected with the teachings of a pedophile, terrorist prophet. As for being afraid of Hamas, I suppose they are, but that is their own damn problem, most of which comes from their failed culture based on their belief in the cult of death.
A real people would fight terrorists like Hamas. But that brings us back full circle. They are not a real people. There are not Palistinians. Leave it to Arab Muslims to be so confused about their identity.
I know people go over this issue again and again. The fact of the matter is that it doesn’t make any difference to me what someone wants to call them. I’m only using the terminology of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the terminology of the IDF, the terminology contained in the Oslo Accords, the terminology contained in the signed agreements that the government of Israel has signed with the Palestinian Authority, and the terminology that the newspapers in Israel uses.
Now, if someone wants to call them “the Vermin People” it doesn’t make any difference to me, as long as we know that we are talking about the same entity that those others - listed above - are talking about, when using the terminology “Palestinian”.
Like said, don’t take it personal. I was making a point about the people in Gaza.
No, I wasn’t taking it personally, it’s just that when everyone in Israel uses it from left to right and top to bottom ... it’s kinda like beating a dead horse ... :-) ...
