JERUSALEM –– Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Tuesday that Israel's military offensive in the West Bank would continue until Palestinian militias have been crushed.

Sharon, who has been under growing U.S. pressure to withdraw troops from Palestinian cities, spoke after receiving word that 13 Israeli soldiers were killed in fighting in the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin on Tuesday.

"It was a tough campaign, a campaign that we are continuing ... until we will fulfill the decision of the Cabinet that calls for the destruction of the infrastructure of the terror groups," Sharon said in remarks broadcast on Israel Television.

[b]"This is a battle for the survival of the Jewish people, for survival of the state of Israel," Sharon said.[/b]

[b]HELLOOOOO, COLIN POWELL!!![/b]

Here's a flak jacket and helmet, Sir, Ramallah is approximately seven miles in that direction!
Good luck, Secretary Powell! Just head toward the rising column of smoke!

Gee - what a shocker. Eric posting an "Israel" newsflash.

Maybe we can get a forum for this?? Or maybe a link to the "All Israel, All the Time" news channel.

At what point does this become Hormel Miracle Meat???

How about that Israeli forum Hun? You should jump on it, however, just don't be the moderator for it. Also have a 5 post limit before each thread gets locked. It'll ensure that things stay newsworthily Hun-like!

Good for Sharon..

This administration has really fucked up this situation. Allowing themselves to be sidetracked in this by what was a deliberate campaign by Arab states to prevent us from invading Iraq. The used Arafat and the PLO as replacements for Scuds creating a situation in Israel that would give them a excuse to not cooperate. We need to find a way to attack Iraq without the help of the Saudis, conquer Iraq and then move on. Right now we are being manipulated by the Arab states and that cannot be allowed to happen.

Go Israel! To any from Israel listening, thank you for doing your part. The U.S.A. should have killed Arafat decades ago. Surrender or die. A common theme from ages past. If all the Arabs want war, then give it to them. Peace will be a by-product. Respect will be another. Planerench out.

It seems if they had done this to us, we would be over there right now doing something about it. So, is it not OK for Israel to be finally sick of this and stand up for themselves. Where does Bush getoff telling them to back out? This is seeming quite hypocritical. I'm not jewish or a supporter of them. This is above what or who this is happening to. It is about what is right.

And coming soon an exclusive AR15.com members only opportunity to invest in Eric T. HUN Enterprises, Incorporated !

I don't want too release much more than a concept at this stage but look for the following elements:

Large Tent

Many collection plates (Portable ATM's will also be passed so the more technical faithful may use their Visa, MasterCard, etc., to give even larger donations)

HUN Cruiser - something along the lines of John Madden's vehicle.

Nightly flogging of one (1) Palestinian - Now don't think cruelty here on the part of Hun Ministries (A division of Eric T. HUN Enterprises, Incorporated) as we'' only choose those who wish to be martyrs and pay them $270.00 per flogging ($270.00 being the average 'annual' wage for a Palestinian) and they get to live.

Guest 'DEVIL' appearances at least weekly. While all may volunteer for this esteemed honor only those with the correct background - such as Velveeta - will be chosen !

So how much does it cost to flog a martyr? Is this going to be a separate raffle or a door prize?

Okay, I am confuddled, too. Wh yis it okay for us to fight terrorists thousands of miles away, while it is wrong for Israel to defend themselves in their own back yard?

Now actually the congregation never gets to flog a martyr as only the Reverend HUN can flog a maryr. (Exceptions will be made for those donating $10,000 or more via cashier's check.)

(I should have stated earlier this will a 'non-profit' enterprise run along the lines of the Rev. J. Jackson's Rainbow Coalition - everything straight-up (get it ?) and on top or very near the table.)

Where are you getting these numbers from...oh wait keep it to yourself...

Average annual salary in Egypt is $3000 and in Saudi Arabia is $9000 (factoring in the slave labor of course!) "Palestinians" (ie Egyptians and Jordanians) should be making between $3-9k.

From the Palestinian view they are defending both their front and back yards from an occupying force.

I imagine that they will be done, when they are done. Sort of like our offensive in Afganland. I agree that the Arab world has been given a wonderful opportunity to divert attention from their buddy Sadam. I notice that none are forwarding their armies to the front.

We have acted appropriately in this, we asked them to stop now, they said not yet but we will when we are done. Israel is fighting our enemy. These are the people who had their demands met and still turned away from peace. Sharon is no angel, and certainly would not rank among the top three of my favorite people in the world, but in this case I think he is right. Once engaged he can't stop till he is finished, the alternative is to prove that homicide bombing works. If it works, we would be the next targets.

BTW, how can I get a subscription to the Hun Press?

But they're wrong bcause it's not their land, any more than Texas and the American southwest are Mexican land, or the rest of the country is Indian land. The majority of "their" land is being occupied by the Jordanians, as well - why don't they DO something about that?

The British protectorate known as "Palestine" (named after the ancient Roman term for the area) was created out of the Middle Eastern ruins of the Ottoman Empire after WW1, and was divided up after WW2 and 2 nations - Israel and Jordan - created out of it. Every Palestinian living in the land at the time became either an Israeli or a Jordanian. There was never an actual nation called Palestine, nor is there a unique Palestinian culture or ethnicity. Palestine is as legitimate a nation as Franklin is a state.

Bush is a damned Hipocrit. I almost wish I hadn't voted for him. Then again, Gore would've been alot worse.

Israel is doing the right thing. FoxNews had Sharon (?) on earlier and he said that what he was doing was no different than what the US is doing in Afghanistan. I cannot disagree with that.

Also, what is upo with calling all the Palestinian cities, Refugee Camps. The Nabuslis Camp, the Ramallah Camp...Those are all f'in cities. it just illicits more sympathy to call them Refugee Camps. Why ? Because, it makes people wonder why you'd shoot up a refugee camp.

Oh, lets not forget that the 13 Israeli soldiers killed today were killed when the PLO strapped a bomb to a 10 Year Old child and sent him to bloww up the building they were in. There is nothing more cowardly and attrocious than what the PLO is doing.

I hope Israel doesn't stop until "Palestine" is a smoking wasteland and the "Palestinians" are all pushed back into Jordan, where they belong.

I agree, Bush is a damned Hipocrit !

I hope the Israelis keep it up. They should excellerate their offensive so they can root out as many terroists cell as possible. Eventually they will have to cave in again and stop.
Its a back n forth war that has gone on long enough.
The US will have the same situation soon when we go to war with Irac. Will we listen ?
Will we do it anyway ?
