CNN is reporting a Israeli gunship has fired at target in Gaza....

Arafat is still breathing, so the problem still exists.

With the aid we send to Israel couldn't we throw in a MOAB for free? Just a little note on it: Please deliver to Arafat - Happy 4th of July! Dubya.

Israel needs to fight harder, and needs more support from other countries (including the liberal idiots in the US) than she is getting. But, I will repeat what I said above.

I would rather see Israel get a new homeland than see Israelis die in a horrible nuclear blast. Of course, if Israel "gives" in to terrorism and relocates outside of the Islamic world, when does it stop, and what kind of example is set"

I can't help wanting to avoid catastrophe. I am worried that it is unavoidable, and we just don't have the ability to face what we are going to have to do.

By the way, I am a lil old granma, who prefers knitting to seeing kids blown up on their way home from school, and not a guy.

There is no reason for some of you to be so thoughtlessly rude by pointing out what you believe to be the problems with my brain's functioning or assumed location.

Certainly you could do better in questioning my thought processes, or the lack thereof, and more thoughtful yourselves in wondering what on earth could be done to save Israel...

That one blowed up real good!

Hamas terrorists targeted. From the footage on TV, I spot a lot of propaganda. People being carried into the hospital, and then you can see them walking normally inside. Furthermore, children are being brought to the hospital without any injuries at all. Finally, I would like to say that unlike all the media calling this a "cycle-of-violence" it is not. It is contant terrorism, followed by bursts of major counter-terrorist operations (which I feel have now been stepped up and will be really "to the bitter end")

[DeathfromBelow]

and more thoughtful yourselves in wondering what on earth could be done to save Israel...

I think someone "not on earth" already has a plan for that.

You are a big worry wart. Lead, Follow, or get the F**k out of the way!

[yonif]

I wonder why Palestinians try climbing into burnt out cars? I've never understood that.

They chant and do a lot of crap, just for the cameras, for their propaganda campaign which is successfull.

"Don't no one flame me for this comment ....but this could spiral out of control........fast."

No flames -- that's what I've been afraid of, too.

I didn't say anything....you are entitled to your opinion.

[jacquej]

I cling to that hope and faith. Silly me, I wish we humans could have done better (and do), but that is me trying to fight off the virus of "liberal humanism", I guess.

[jacquej]

Well, you post just stimulated another "idea"...

What about a massive airlift out of Israel of all civilians, women and children, leaving the Israeli Army, and the armies of all of us who want to take on the radical Islamists.

We could take the innocent civilians, women and children into our individual homes all over the world and shelter them until we have totally "resolved" the situation.

Then, once the Palestinians have been resettled, and the radical Islamists have been destroyed, the Israelis can return home, if nuclear war hasn't made it unliveable.

[zip]

perhaps we should consider the removal of "Israel" from the near east.

Would you also remove the USA from North America? Same difference Mohammed.

[jacquej]

Huh?

[zarf]

Rising anti-semitism? LOL!!! Why do you think the state of Israel exists? Europe=anti-semetism....it just is....it never rises or falls...

[zarf]

Where are those club wielding LA cops when you need em...

[jacquej]

I guess I see it as similar to the wave action in the ocean, or tides. There are crests and troughs.

Europe, after we finally sent our best over there to defeat Hitler, seemed to settle down for awhile, but enough generations have past for it to be on the rise again.

[Mark17]

I give up. I understand that you all think I am a deluded fool.

I don't necessarily think that, but I believe you are not thinking it through. The fight between these two groups goes all the way back to the time when Abraham kicked Ishmael out of the tent. A true clash of civilizations, a war between Islam and Judaism. Arabs do not want Israel moved somewhere, they want them all dead. This is not a new concept. Terrible wars will happen whether we like it or not, and Armageddon will still happen, and yes, I believe nukes will be used, and lots of them, sometime in the future.

I really hope that your keepers aren't allowing you to use sharp items to write this bs. Crayons??

Your comments are not worthy of a 5 year old. Shall we airlift all new yorkers out of the city until we can arrest all of the druggies, dimocRats, rapists, killers? How about airlifting everyone out of east st louis and settling them in Phoenix until we can weed out the criminals? I can go on and on but hopefully you can see the error of your idea.

[jacquej]

Mark, that is just what I have thought through. That is just what I am afraid of. But, when I make the mistake of assuming others have the ability to think it through as well, I get called all sorts of names, none of them nice.

Are you saying just let it happen? I doubt that. I feel we have a responsibility to save as many as possible, and I do not see that happening in the present situation.

Reminds me of Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" Read the whole poem to understand this line...

"Ignorant armies clash by night"
