| Two mortar shells hit Israeli settlement |
| 2005-11-06 |
| The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of the Fatah Movement on Saturday claimed responsibility of firing two 80-millimeter mortar shells at the Kfar Azza settlement, east of Gaza City. The brigades said in a statement the shelling took place last night to retaliate to the assassination by Israel of the brigades' leader Nabil Massoud, killed by Israeli occupation troops two weeks ago in the Jabalia refugee camp. |

| #9 Israel needs to clean out these two cesspits sometimes illogically referred to as "Gaza" and the "West Bank". There should not be one person left alive in either enclave, unless they've fled elsewhere when it starts. THEN put up a very heavily electrified fence - about 7000 volts at 260 amps, with buried leads 200 feet deep every foot. Every time Israel's attacked after that, take an additional foot from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, or Jordan, until those countries are small remainders of what they once were. I will gladly volunteer to smack anybody in the United States that objects right in the teeth with my trusty hickory axehandle. |

| #8 These people really are useless. They've had 60 years to 'perfect' their weapons and it seems they can't even hit a *town*. Thankfully no humans were hurt in this incident, but unfortunately no work accidents or counter-battery detonations to report either. The counter-battery stuff must be getting pretty good, how long does it take to fire two mortar rounds? 10 seconds? I guess the Paleos have figured out that hanging around to ululate after the valiant strike against the Zionists tends to reduce the probability of a repeat performance. Heh! |

| #6 The brigades said in a statement the shelling took place last night to retaliate to the assassination by Israel of the brigades' leader Nabil Massoud, killed by Israeli occupation troops two weeks ago in the Jabalia refugee camp. Israel really needs to abandon any regard for whatever "cycle of violence" their Arab or European critics continually squawk about. If the Palestinians do not have some quasi-legitimate motive for Dire Revengeâ¢, they will simply fabricate one out of whole cloth. Remember the exploding missile truck during their little parade festivities? Even though Abbas had the stones to dig qassam fuselage shrapnel out of the victims, the Palestinians still insisted it was an Israeli rocket attack. In light of al Aqsa's recent declaration of alignment with Ahmadinejadâs declared intention that Israel should be âwiped off the mapâ, the IDF needs to abandon all pretense of reciprocity and simply begin a rapid, steady and unrelenting campaign of extermination against all al Aqsa, Hamas and Hizbullah leadership. The Palestinian Authority is actually trying to incorporate al Aqsa into their own security forces. If this is not sufficient indication of just how out of control things are, then Israel should concede the fight right now. Inhumanity seems to be a strong suit for the Palestinians. I'm ready to agree that Israel should shut off all potable water and electrical mains to the Palestinian terrortories and let them slowly twist in the breeze. Such a measure must be viewed as simple self-preservation. No more feeding the hand that bites them. |

| #5 'moose: Since it's all Palestine, from the river to the sea, any Joooooos are in "settlements." |

| #4 Waitasec. Don't they mean an Israeli "town". If it was in Gaza, it would be a "settlement", but it is in Israel proper. |

| #3 Israel sells potable water to the Palestinian Authority (PA), esp since the Paleos overpumped their wells and made them saline. If there is not any PA, then Israel I guess could say that they have no authority to sell to i/a/w Oslo and just shut off the spigot. Not a bad idea. Would get the Paleo's attention. France is occupied with their own troubles, so there would not be too much flack from them at the moment. Also Israel sells electricity to the PA in Gaza. |

| #2 Doesn't Israel provide all the drinking water to Gaza? Prozac? |

| #1 Obviously, they missed everything. If they weren't an implacable Hate Machine, they would be laughable, pathetic. Since even a fuckwit Paleo can get lucky and actually hit something, I guess the Israelis will have to kill the new leader. I'd suggest they short-circuit this endless game and lay waste to Gaza, but I might be branded as bloodthirsty. After almost 60 years of this insanity, it should be abundantly clear that there will never be peace there by diplomatic means. The Paleo Hate Machine makes that impossible. This will only end when one side is wiped out. |
