EIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -- Crowds of thousands swept into the streets of cities around the Middle East on Sunday to denounce Israel's air assault on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.

From Lebanon to Iran, Israel's adversaries used the weekend assault to marshal crowds into the streets for noisy demonstrations. And among regional allies there was also discontent: The prime minister of Turkey, one of the few Muslim countries to have relations with Israel, called the air assault a "crime against humanity."

Several of Sunday's protests turned violent. A crowd of anti-Israel protesters in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul became a target for a suicide bomber on a bicycle.

In Lebanon, police fired tear gas to stop dozens of demonstrators from reaching the Egyptian Embassy. Some in the crowd hurled stones at the embassy compound. It was unclear if anyone was hurt.

She looks like one of the 9/11 muzzie dancers who celebrated the Trade Center attack. A good target.

They’re demanding that Israel accept the rocket attacks by the Muslims. They are simply too stupid to live.

“crime against humanity.”

Thought that was what muzzyism was based on.

It took the Israelis long enough to get at it. What would we do if the Mexicans tossed rockets and mortar rounds into Texas? I sure hope they finish the job this time and send Hamas into the sea.

FTW!

[RoadTest]

Go, IDF! We’re with you!

[sheik yerbouty]

Greenpeace will then get involved, as it would cause pollution..

[wastedyears]

But nobody cares about the Israelis dying over there.

[wastedyears]

What would we do if the Mexicans tossed rockets and mortar rounds into Texas?

Get ear muffs, because the reports will sound automatic.

[BuffaloJack]

Go get’um Israel. You can’t kill enought Hamas terrorists and their fruends.

[tiki]

I protest their protest. I say to Israel, “Go get them, NOW!”

[Oldpuppymax]

“...if Mexicans tossed rockets and mortar rounds into Texas?” I sure wouldn’t advise Hussein to stand in the way of Texans on the way to the border!

crowds into the streets for noisy demonstrations

As long as they're already doing air strikes it seems this would be a great time to rotate some cluster bomb stocks.....

[Myrddin]

They didn't protest when Hamas fired rockets into Israel. The terrorists love to dish it out, but can't take it when they are opposed. Israel would not have taken action if rockets were not raining on Israel from Gaza. The dumb ass muzzies asked for trouble. They got it. All they have to do is stop raining rockets on Israel. End of problem. I think they are too stupid to understand that simple concept.

Targets.

What would we do if the Mexicans tossed rockets and mortar rounds into Texas?

Hussein would put the military on the border. Facing north.
