Paleo terrs fire rockets at Israel
2006-09-02
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- Palestinian terrorists militants fired five homemade rockets into Israel, defying the latest calls by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to halt the attacks. The Israeli army said four of the rockets landed near the southern border town Sderot, while the fifth landed near the city Ashkelon on Thursday. There were no injuries, it said.

The barrage came a day after Abbas criticized Palestinian militants for continuing to fire rockets at Israeli border communities. "What is happening in Gaza as a result of rockets fired in vain must stop right now because there is no national interest in this continuing," Abbas said in a speech Wednesday. He said dozens of Gazans have been killed and many more injured in recent months. "For what?" Abbas asked.

Abbas has made similar appeals in the past, saying the rockets give Israel an excuse to attack, only to be laughed at rebuffed by terrorists militants. Islamic Jihad, which has launched hundreds of rockets at Israel, claimed responsibility for Thursday's barrage.

#6  Every Paleo who is not a terrorist her/himself is part of the terrorists' logistics.

After the Palestinians knowingly voted into power a listed terrorist organization I, too, gave up all hope and now regard every last man, woman and child of them as part of their terrorist network. The Palestinians are simply amongst some of the most irredeemable human vermin on earth. I look forward to the day that they all drown in their hateful genocidal bile.

#4  Word, Zenster. Works for me. I'll bet most Israelis would endorse it, too. I hope they find leaders to make it so - with a vengeance.

#3  Something I'd really like to see is Israel finally saying;

"Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Liberation Front, Fatah, The National Front for the Liberation of Palestine, The Palestinian Authority, Yo Momma or Who The F&ck Ever, it no longer matters."

"If you screw with us, all of you take the hit. We come in and snuff at least one of you from every single one of these assorted groups that we can lay hands on."

There needs to be an end to one faction signing on to some lame-@ss peace agreement or truce only to have their idle weapons shipped across the street to some other terrorist homies who launch from their rooftops instead.

Israel's new motto needs to be, "F&ck with us and you all die."

"five homemade rockets"
The devices referred to may be crude or primitive or unsophisticated, but they are almost certainly not homemade. For a thing to be homemade it should be constructed in, well, a home, a place where people are living. Rockets may be made in metal shops or warehouses, but since you're dealing with explosives, industrial metal cutters and rocket fuel, they are unlikely to be cooked up in someone's kitchen. They are also far more likely to be made by organized groups with access to materials than by private individuals, of the sort we associate with things homemade.

There was a time, I want to believe, when journalists actually cared what words meant. Now, as long as the Palestinians are suggested to be plucky and innovative, whipping up rockets like the genuinely homemade Molotov cocktails in the Warsaw ghetto, words are meant mainly to supplement a narrative rather than describe facts.
