No afront to the obvious outrage... But people here die every day with out so much as a "fare thee well".

Well, the MAHAL2000 program referenced above, is only for us Jews, and only for those of us up to age 30, which puts an awful lot of us guys over the limit.
There is, or at least was, a program that a lot of us old farts, and I'm pretty sure non Jews could be involved with. It involves doing maintainance and repair on IDF equipment, at bases around the country. Given that a fair number of you guys are probably skilled enough to work with small arms in need of depot type maintainance, and there aren't any age limits, you might want to check this out. I'm sorry that I don't have any detail on the program or a web site to refer you to. I heard about it some years ago from a woman who had spent several months doing it. I'd would have checked into it further, but I was on the verge of getting married at the time and had other priorities [:D]. My informant said she had spent most of her time cleaning and helping to refurbish armor equipment. As I recall, you pay your own way over but once there you're housed and fed at an IDF base, work a five day week, and have evenings and weekends off to sightsee or whatever. It ain't glamorous, but it would free up one more IDF soldier to go and fight the good fight. |

You know, if you ever have a chance to ask these Palestinian leaders any questions, just try and ask them if they believe that Israel has a right to exist.
Talk about artfully dodging a question! They will never, ever come to the point and tell you the truth. They will hem and haw and talk about homeland, and then throw in something about a 'return.' A 'return'? Yes, a return to our homes! Which homes? The ones we lost as a result of the creation of Israel, more or less. You mean the ones that you left due to the creation of the State of Israel? Yes, those, as well as the homes that were taken from us before then! Before the creation of the State of Israel? Yes, the ones that were stolen from us by the Jews! Stolen? Yes, they took the homes from us! Took them? You mean the Jews [u]bought[/u] them from you? Yes, but for shameful prices, and we did not know what was to come, and we would never have sold them these homes if it would mean that we would lose our homeland....etc., etc., etc. I swear that is the lame-azzed story I heard from a Palestinian fellow being interviewed last night on Ashley Banfield's show on MSNBC! They hate the Jews for having bought their homes from them PRIOR to the creation of the State of Israel, and these folks will not be satisfied until they are permitted to 'return' to those homes! Can you believe it? Eric The(WhatIdiots!)Hun[>]:)] |

I think its QUITE obvious that the goal of the terrorists who happen to be Palestinian (in contrast to other Palestinains who have NOT committed or even considered acts of terrorism) is NOT for a Palstinian state - it is indeed to eradicate israel, AND anyone who sides with israel, whether they be American, or even Arab. Focusing on the fact that these Palestinian terrorists are killing Arabs who do NOT commit acts of terrorism, it seems clear to me that the mere reality of being Arab DOES NOT make a person our enemy. When Arabs kill Arabs who DO peacefully co-exist with Jews, it becomes clear that being of Arab descent is NOT sufficient reason to kill someone. The only reason I bring this up is that is see way too much testosterone and bravado round here saying "Kill 'em all." When my brothers in arms advocate genocide, I gotta speak up. |

I think if you lost someone you really loved in this manner, you would be clamoring to root out the terrorsts, and if they chose to hide among innocents (they do), you would be ready to kill them all and let God sort them out. Right? I know I would. At the very least, kill the family of the homicide bombers. This will not end until one side wins. A war is won by destroying the enemy to the point they give up. Blowing up their house while they [i]watch[/i] is silly. Blowing it up with them in it, as was done last week, will be effective, if done enough. Obviously once was not enough. I would choose to end this if it were my choice. |

Genocide is wrong.
Here is the itchy area when it comes to the Palestinians. If I am a Palestinian, and I see my fellow Palestinians blowing up innocent people, I know that retaliation will come. It is only right and natural. I also know that anyone who is supporting these actions will become a target. One would think the smartest thing to do would be to either [b]A.[/b] Distance myself from them as much as possible, or, [b]B.[/b] Go B!tch slap the ones doing it and get them to stop so that no more of my people are killed, by accident or otherwise, because of their actions. When the vast majority of the Palestian people are dancing in the streets as they were yesterday, and on 9/11, when they aid and abet the terroist among them, it says that they agree with what is happening. Hopefully that made sense. Trying to do 2 things at once. [;)] |

And if any those innocents killed as "collteral damage" were NOT in favor of terrorism before the F-14 came 'round, they will be after. If you advocate peaceful solutions to the paly - Israeli conflict, and then an Israeli F-14 comes and kills your entire family (2 year old babies included. I don't beleive those babies have committed any terrorist acts yet) you'll give up on peaceful solutions. And you might even be pissed at the country that GAVE them teh F-14, and its ordnance. Why can't you guys see this OBVIOUS REALITY??? In essence, Israli overkill perpetuates the conflict. Thereby ASSURING paly retaliation,a nd more dead Jews. Overkill accomplishes EXACTLY the opposite of the stated objective. I ain't saying there's an easy answer. I'm saying wisdom dictates you minimize pushing fence sitters INTO the terrorist camp. I'm saying you don't nuke the entire City of Chicago JUST because Al Capone (and his gang) calls it home. (Other reasons may be justified, but not that one [:D] ) |

TODAY SHOW lead story... 8 Americans dead . I have just had it with these terrorists . I think we should plead with President Bush to unshackle the Israeli military , give them US blessing and wipe out Gaza ! This act of terrorism MUST be answered with a response of the gravest of consequences for the terrorists . Flatten an entire city . Make Hamas understand that if you commit acts of terrorism, it WILL be answered with a force 10,000 times in response . These people are like cockroaches and the Orkin man is coming not soon enough to suit me !

I'm merely pointing out the obvious reality that in using F-14's to kill an ant, you are gonna have collateral damage a-plenty. View Quote You're advocating a losing strategy for the Israelis, [b]garandman[/b]! If they do as you suggest they will just succeed in pushing the ant (the one that just killed, oh, let's say, your family) further and deeper into the ant bed, where he knows he'll be safe! Better to have him worry, and the others around him worry, about an F-14 strike. Any time and expense in moving around to avoid such strikes will be time and expense taken away from his busy suicide-bombing schedule! That's the way the Israelis were doing it up until last week, and I think we can count on them using that tried and true method in the future. They had targeted that POS for five nights in a row, and called off the strike because they could not confirm the absence of civilians nearby. That is how Israel (and the USA) will always handle it. And if a mistake is made (such as the USA did in striking a wedding party in Afghanistan) it will be only as the result of a regrettable error. An accident. A mistake. And if someone cannot differentiate between those folks who deliberately strike civilians, and those who strenuously attempt to avoid striking civilians, well then, they wouldn't know the difference between Al Queda and the United States Air Force! And if any those innocents killed as "collteral damage" were NOT in favor of terrorism before the F-14 came 'round, they will be after. View Quote Strange that we never thought that way during WWII, that some of our strategic bombing may have actually been making more dedicated Nazis in German, or more loyal emperor worshippers in Japan! There is simply no substitute for victory. And the Israelis simply must overwhelmingly crush these terrorists. If they wish to survive as a nation. And I have been led to believe they do!

G-Man, Hawkeye said it best. When a bomber dies, the Pale "innocents" (women and children included) hit the streets [i]en masse[/i] to celebrate. Yipping and shooting into the air with AK's. Children too. Not two y/o's, but children nevertheless. Perhaps we can agree that stopping these homicide bombings is imperative? If we can agree on that obvious fact, then all that remains is choosing the means of doing so. We could ask them nicely. Been done, didn't work. We could ask them sternly. Same thing. We could show them we really, really mean it by announcing that in a half hour we are going to bomb a building, so that it can be evacuated. Was done as recently as last year. Didn't work. If we truly agree to stop the madness, then bombing Dresden, Nagasaki and Hiroshima is the only answer. Perhaps you can come up with a better one. I mean a true solution, not just an admonition to "only kill the guilty and leave the innocents alone." There is no distinction between them. Their choice. The Israeli's choice needs to be to have the resolve to win. Decisively. Anything less will only continue the slaughter of both sides. Slaughtering one side (the [b]other[/b] side) is the only hope of stopping the attacks. Especially in light of the fact these attacks are a defacto attack by a number of Arab countries, who sponsor them. It is no secret. Why be "nice?" Or humane?

It simply amazes me no end that even the brutal murder of [b]FIVE American citizens[/b] by these POS Palestinian terrorists does not bring some amount of reassessment in some folks' positions.
And the fact that these Palestinians were dancing once again in the streets, knowing that Americans were deliberately killed, is not even a consideration any longer! Sept 11th or July 31, these people simply must dance when the news is good to their ears! I suppose that simply being an American [u]in[/u] Israel is some sort of factor that can be used to diminish the horror of their cold-blooded murder.

This young lady is one of ours, and till her murderers are sent to Hell, I don't care to hear of anything else. Eric The(Sentimental)Hun[>]:)] |

Quoted: Ok I read what I just wrote and it doesn't make sense. Let me try again. I wont defend the Palestinians, but I'll defend those who defend the Palestinian 'struggle', even if I won't defend their 'struggle' myself. View Quote |

[b]Marla Bennett[/b] was a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, with a BA in Political Science and an English minor. Friends spoke about her as a beautiful young woman with quiet grace, a calming presence. "She was a real jewel, very beloved. You couldn't be in her presence and not smile with her," said Landes. Friends called her a true listener, quietly offering needed support. All spoke about her magical smile which would crinkle her nose. Responding to the concern of friends and family abroad, Bennett wrote in a column for her hometown paper, the San Diego Jewish Press-Heritage: "I have a front-row seat for the history of the Jewish people. I am a part of the struggle for Israel's survival." "She brought light into a room; something about her just glowed so warmly. She drew you into her warmth," said Hershman.

From Yahoo.news:
A spokesman for the Islamic militant group Hamas, which claimed responsibility for Wednesday's attack, said the Americans were not the intended target and expressed regret for their deaths. "They are American citizens who just came here to visit," Abdul Aziz Rantissi told The Associated Press. "Our battle is against the (Israeli) occupation." [b]However, he said he was referring only to "[u]pure[/u]" American citizens, "not those who have dual citizenship."[/u] One of the dead had American and Israeli citizenship.

I don't understand all the panywaist girlish whining that we are allowing. There are people out there killing our babies. Who even needs to find more justification that that to kill them first?
Not me. If we don't have enough ammunition to kill them all, then just kill their males, let the palesinians find out what diaspora really is all about. Drive them into jordan, drive them into the sea, but stop them from killing our children. I would visit a world of hurt upon them of biblical proportions, and worry about the potential fall out when it was completed. |
