ANOTHER explosion in Jerusalem at a cafe.

[priceofreedom]

Cafe Hillel is next door to my Grandmothers house on Emek Refaim. I just got off the phone with her and one of my uncles who witnessed the entire thing. Right now there are Police and rescue workers removing body parts from my Grandmothers 2nd story Balcony. one of the pictures earlier in this thread has a pic of her house and some of my Family looking on at the scene of this latest tragedy. I was born in this house. I for one am so tired of my people being so forgiving. My poor Gradmother, this is all she needs after having a triple bypass only weeks ago. If only I was the one who could declare war on these beasts
:(

The Israelis just don't have the chutzpah to do what's needed, sadly.

Today's casualty count: at least 14 dead, at least 70 wounded. You know, Israel really needs to stop caring what the rest of the world thinks, including the American administration.

I've been watching live coverage. Even though I'm working in the States right now I can get satellite news from home in Israel. To say I am upset would be an understatement.

This will be my last time working in America. I need to stay closer to home and do what I can to bring about political change in Israel.

I expected this fully, multiple attacks per day that will lead to full open warfare.

I wish we'd just get it going, already. Enough is enough. Let's watch Jerusalem wipe the floor with these vermin. And if they need our help, may the United States do the right thing and jump in to help. And if the rest of the world wants a piece of the action, let them come and get it.

Anyone else feel we're on the verge of a potential third World War? Or, are we already in one being that terrorists eclipse the world, regardless of whether or not they are "ascribed" to a sovereign nation.

[Monty22]

I honestly thought we'd be in full on WW3 by now. But, I think it's very possible it'll happen by next year sometime.

There's an Aussie woman in a political chat room I go to who is a 100% supporter of the Palestinians. I think she is borderline psychotic, and she is insufferably smug.

[Monty22]

Sounds like any liberal to me.

Thanks for your post.

Filthy stinking goddamn swine arabs.

Writer Phyllis Chesler, who is Jewish and ultra-feminist, has just written a book about the rise of anti-Semitism, and she sees the irrational and potent anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli sentiments of the Left as explainable only as a kind of psychosis. I would add that I think this is also a very anti-Christian spirit, and that what we are seeing now is the latest pagan assault on Western civilization, an alliance of Islamofascism with pagan internationalism. This conflict has a tangible spiritual dimension in my opinion.

[stumpy]

Once again I suggest that the Israelis drop 2000lb bombs on the homes of the "homocide" bombers, as well as the funeral processions of those terrorists they've taken out. Take terror to the homes of the terrorists, and you will end the terrorism.

I also suggest a hit team go to Paris and take out arrafart's family so that he too can understand the feeling of loss. And for those who say his family is innocent, his wife preaches for martyrdom. Kill her and her daughter. Let arrafart feel pain.

[knighthawk]

I hope your family is all right.
My prayers are with you and them.

Eisner is Jewish like the Kennedy's are Catholic.

[knighthawk]

I hope you will make a difference. Know you have allies here.

Together we can make that difference!

I guess it doesn't. I guess I was playing the tribalism card. Here's my take on the situation.

Both sides have gone off the deep end. I see no chance of rapprochement. My neighbors are from Egypt. They look like they could be Gazan. Nicest people, but something's not right. My son says their son tells hims about listening intently at Mosque as the Iman teaches about how the Jews eat Muslim babies. He's not joking. Then I see that fat beast Sharon march up to the Temply Mount and set this whole intifada off. Some ultra orthodox murderer kills Rabin, a true man of peace. A bunch of crazy dead enders are ruling my life day to day and I'm growing weary. That is all.

Israel needs to look back to WWII and take a lesson from the Allies' playbook. This is total war with an entire population dedicated to the eradication of Jews.

I used to be for expulsion of the Arabs from Judea and Samaria but that will only delay the final outcome: the destruction of Israel, and ultimately, Western Civilization.

Now I see the wisdom of the Allies' decisions in the firebombings of population centers: Dresden, Tokyo and Berlin, and the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Destruction and death need to be visited on Israel's enemies on such a frightful scale, that the survivors must forever fear Israel's wrath, and comport themselves accordingly.

[Monty22]

Exactly. When we go easy on the enemy, like we did in Iraq, they'll be back to get us again and again.. And forever.

If you kill them, and hurt them BAD (nukes), then they'l behave.

I wonder if anyone remembers that Clinton had Arafat as a White House visitor more than any other person. This propped Arafat up and permitted him to continue the killing of Jews.

I know American Jews seemed sanguine about this since they still vote RAT in overwelming numbers.

President Bush (II) has tried to remedy this by ignoring Arafat and trying to replace him. NO thanks from American Jews can be expected.

The Israelis would be smart not only to build their fence but to build it to cover areas that are strategically necessary for them to survive for the next 100 years. IMHO Islam is populated with envious paranoids who want to destroy the Jews regardless of any consequences to themselves. A nice way of saying they are craxy, I guess. Once there is a good fence, Arafat's popularity and power will decline and his own followers may solve his problem.

Another thing the Israelis could do is tell the American Jews how important President Bush and the Republicans are to the survival of Israel. They should also tell American Jews that a movie on the life of Jesus is not going to result in a holocaust. American Jewry has succeeded more in every area of existence than anyplace else.
