RELIGION OF PEACE UPDATE At least two Palestinian gunmen infiltrated into the Israeli town of Otniel, south of Hebron on Friday night, the Jewish Sabbath, and opened fire killing four Jewish students and wounding at least seven others, the IDF said.
According to a report on Channel 1 television the terrorists entered the dining hall of a yeshiva (Jewish seminary) as the students were sitting down to their Friday night Sabbath mealr and opened fire.
At least one of the gunmen was killed and security forces are searching for the second.
The wounded were being evacuated to the Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva by ambulance and by military helicopters.
A Magen David (Israeli Red Cross) spokesman said that three of the wounded had been evacuated. One in a serious condition and the other two are in a moderate condition.
The spokesman said that four of the casualties could not be evacuated due to continued gunfire.
Hiteler didn't concern us until it was too late, is that not so? Perhaps if we got involved a few years sooner there would be no WW2.
If you are in Western Europe, then perhaps. If you are in America, then no. The Crusades were long over and done before America came into existence. America has no dog in this fight.
Zot...what the hell, you going some where?
Your statement could be right if the other side didn't think we owned all the dogs in the fight against them. Of course this is not true... but, perception is as perception does.
9/11 tells us that we have a dog in the fight.
Really, we can go on like that all day but I dont think that thats going to get us anywhere.
Even Arafat told Alqaida to pi** up a rope. Old Arafat hasn't completely lost it. Palestine is a separate war, perhaps several separate wars. Alqaida kicked sand on the wrong guy at the beach. While some wish to blend many of these wars together into one vast glorious conflagration, that won't happen.
That was in 1919/1920. Twenty two years later... there is Hitler. Those who extracted their pound of flesh are gone, or to old to fight... and Nazis are overrunning everything and rounding up undesirables and putting murdering them in the concentration camps.
What do you do in 1942? You can't go back and fix the Treaty of Versailles... so what do you do?
Many mistakes have been made leading up to 9/11. All sides are guilty... some sides more guilty than others. How do we fix it now?
Sheesh! Whatta grouch!
Had we enforced the terms of Germany's capitulation (ie, non militarization) WW2 would've never happened. Failure to enforce - inclination to appease - are the real reasons of WW2.
Do you belong to the school of moral and cultural relativism? Most liberals do, and that is why they are apologists for Arab-backed terror against modernity and all free societies.
Do you equate Israel's measured responses against Palestinian terrorists, who specifically target innocent Israeli women and children, with the actions of these terrorists? Most liberals do because they fail to make the distinction between recognizing the suffering of a people with assigning blame for that suffering. Palestinians suffer because the Arab world refuses to provide humanitarian aid-- but these Arab countries are all to willing to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into funding the terrorism that diminishes the quality of life for both Israelis and Palestinians alike. In addition, over the last 12 years, Palestinian leadership has embezzled billions of dollars in aid from both the U.S. and EU that was earmarked to help build an infrastructure and provide civil services for the Palestinians only to recently learn that Arafat used these funds to enrich himself and build up an illegal arsenal of terror weapons to be used against Israel.
On the Macro scale it only requires a modicum of common sense as to why an American should support Israel over the cabal of despotic Arab nations that have been funding terrorism against the West for decades. Islamists mean to export one thing for your consumption my Christian friend... the genocide of any other belief system, whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism or Buddhism. America and our Allies are pluralistic societies... Arab states are not. What do Ethiopia, Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Sudan and the Philippines (to name a few) have in common? Militant Islam is slaughtering non-Muslims in these countries because Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists are Kaffirs and infidels according to their interpretation of the Koran. Militant Islam likes to bring up the red herring of Israel in order to distract the West, and Christians in general, in order to obfuscate their true motive, which is a global Muslim Caliphate. If Christians believe they can placate Islamists by sacrificing Israel they underestimate the intention of Islam-- co-existence is not in the blueprint my friend. Just ask the three million black Christians who were slaughtered in Sudan by Muslims during the 1990s if appeasement works.
That would about confirm it.
Yea. Arafat "said". He also said that he is against terrorism. The fact that you give the guy credibility tells me all we need to know about yours.
Old Arafat hasn't completely lost it.
Ofcourse. He knows when to lie and when to speak the true intentions(arab tv).
See your physician, he can recommend a good psychiatrist.
