Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Errant Paleo Rocket injures 3 Gaza Tots
2006-12-21
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- A Palestinian rocket aimed at Israel veered off course and struck a home in the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday, moderately wounding a 2-year-old boy sleeping in his bedroom, hospital officials and residents said. The rocket fire further strained a cease-fire reached between Israel and Palestinian militants late last month. Israeli officials say Palestinian militants have fired more than 40 rockets since the Nov. 26 truce, and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned this week that his patience is wearing thin.

Renewed battles with Israel would mean more instability in Gaza, which has been racked by factional fighting between the rival Hamas and Fatah movements for more than a week. Gaza remained "calm" Thursday on the second day of a renewed truce between the Palestinian rivals.
Apparently the gun sex, injuries, and SUVs burned in the Al-Sabra district are defined as “calm” That makes sense…in a Paleo sort of way.
In Beit Hanoun, Palestinian militants fired two rockets toward Israel from the northern Gaza town. One of the crude projectiles misfired and struck a nearby house, a Palestinian security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he didnÂ’t want to be executed was not authorized to speak to the media.

The rocket blew through the living room and exploded in a bedroom where three children were sleeping, relatives said. Two-year-old Samir al-Masri's legs were two broken, said Dr. Said Judeh of Kamal Adwan hospital. The boy's 4-year-old sister and 3-year-old brother were lightly wounded by shrapnel, said their uncle, Jad al-Masri.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But the militant group Islamic Jihad fired at least six rockets at Israel on Wednesday, saying it was avenging the deaths of two members in an Israeli arrest raid in the West Bank. In the past, similar cases of Palestinians being hurt by Palestinian rockets have led to backlashes against militant groups, whose attacks against Israel are generally supported by the public.
Another classic example of how groups with divergent opinions can unite for a common cause.

#17  Take their children away from them. Sterilize the remainder. See how many you eventually hafta kill. The rest die off inside their self-made Hell.

Break the Hate Machine Cylce.

Along with the sterilization lets use the psychotropic drugs in the water idea that I think .com introduced a while back. LSD 25 in the wawa will certainly change these assholes outlook on life. My only concern at the time was for the kids whose development might be stunted by the exposure. But then I thought about the exposure that they already get (kill, kill, kill all the jooooooos...and pretty much anything else including yourself) and I thought the risk was worth it. But better to take the kids and place them into a warm, nurturing environment where the stain of their culture can be erased.

On the "I've changed" meme...welcome to the club. War and repeated exposure to barbarity will do that. It is a survival mechanism. When the time comes we will thus (hopefully) have the will to do what needs to be done.

#15  I'm sure that the Arab League will pressure the UNSC to condemn Israel for not supplying Ham-Ass with more accurate rockets to kill innocent Joooos with.

#12  I do feel for the children. They are innocent. They learn hate and pregudice from their elders. My two brothers and I slept in the same room until I left home at 18 years.

#10  it is indeed a sad commentary that those posts are now valid feelings of us

I ask that you do not, repeat DO NOT, regret having the wisdom to save your own life. Feel no sorrow nor sadness, my friends. I fully comprehend the sentiments that Mark Z. and yourself are expressing, USN, Ret., I share a great many, if not all, of them.

DO NOT concede sorrow over the misdeeds of others. Replace it with a righteous anger over how certain individuals cheerfully adhere to a creed that demands not just the loss of your way of life, but even your life itself.

Part of losing your way of life has already begun. Each of ours sense of humanity has been necessarily eroded to no longer feel regret should a great number of this world's population die a swift death. If, ten years ago, someone had told me that I would be typing these words, I'd probably have bet the farm against it. Here I am, typing these words.

Do I feel sorry about it? Not one damn bit. Do I feel angry that I have to harden my heart against even wee children and their sufferings? Damn right I am and I intend to put and end to it. The only way to halt this is to stop Islam's reign over the Muslim people.

Feel not sorrow during this season of joy. To do so is precisely what our foes intend and they do so by weaponizing our very finest sentiments and turning them against us. Do not let this vile and cynical ploy corrode your own sense of worth and ability to feel a sense of intact humanity.

My sense of humanity is still intact. To be sure that a small fragment of it has been stolen from myself by those who seek to destroy me. Unbeknownst to them, what they have carried off into the darkness of their benighted souls is a pellet of fatal poison. What has been stolen is not any joy of mine but a personal hatred for slaughter. I never thought to lose this precious part of my humanity but I willingly forsake it so that I may overcome those who would take so much more than that fateful morsel of my soul.

My enemies have sought to steal a vital part of my humanity. What they do not realize is that it was a part that protected them more than it did me. They now have it, along with the same sort of fragment shorn from many others like me who have been forced to abandon their refusal to allow slaughter. Islam is accumulating these poisonous granules, scintilla by scintilla. Eventually this ill-gotten hoard of our bested sense of humanity that they greedily gather to themselves will prove to be a viper clutched to their breast.

We must refuse to be dehumanized. Islam dehumanizes itself with every atrocity perpetrated by its heartless thugs. They do this for us, not at our request but most certainly, if unknowingly, on our behalf. Like a proverbial cock crowing atop the dunghill, Islam croons over its vicious superiority without taking time for a momentÂ’s reflection upon the whirlwindÂ’s seeds they scatter in their path.

They will find that what they thought to steal from us shall be what they least wanted above all. One day Islam will discover that it has wrested all sense of mercy from its foes. By then, it will be too late. All they shall hear ringing among the shattered walls of their burning mosques will be, “Islam delenda est.”

#9  Reading the earlier posts and from #5 and on; all I can say is that if we could jump into our own personal Way Back Machines and travel to a pre- 9/11 time and then read the story that generated all these posts,I suspect the reactions wold be 100% of the 'that's terrible, how can anybody do that to children' flavor.
Unfortunately we cannot use Mr. Peabody's cartoon invention, and it is indeed a sad commentary that those posts are now valid feelings of us. Closer to home and on a local scale, following our multi-day power outage here in the North of Seattle area, my once docile Spousal Unit made several very pointed statements concerning what measures we should take to ensure the stores we laid in when such an emergency occurs remained in our possession and they all included weapons. Sad day indeed when we do not care anymore.

Save the sympathy for the sympathetic. I don't see any in here...

#7  Mark Z.,

Your post says a whole lot. I've watched myself and my wife change as well.

Sadly, I think more people here (USA and EUrope - not Rantburg) need to change in this way if we are to be victorious in this struggle.

#6  Geez, Mark. I'd forgotten the "change". You've reminded me.

But Merry Christmas, anyway, bro. Cherish what you have. Save up this feeling for when you vote... and when you defend what matters. That time will come.

#5  "The rocket blew through the living room and exploded in a bedroom where three children were sleeping, relatives said. Two-year-old Samir al-"Masri's legs were two broken, said Dr. Said Judeh of Kamal Adwan hospital. The boy's 4-year-old sister and 3-year-old brother were lightly wounded by shrapnel, said their uncle, Jad al-Masri."

These kids will be raised to believe the injuries they received were inflicted by the Jews. They will never learn that, in fact, their wounds were inflicted by fellow their muslims. Someday in the not too distant future their pics will be seen on LGF under the caption "more Palestianian Child Abuse".

Once, it seems a long time ago, I was a soft hearted person. I cried when appropriate (the wedding of a kid I watched grow up from an infant) and maybe when not always appropriate ( like every Chritmas when watching It's a Wonderful Life). I was always a sucker for babies and puppies. I actually recall physically missing the "feel" of a baby in my arms long after my baby was no more a baby. My sisters kept pumping 'em out so I got relief.

Here's my point: today I read that 3 Paleo kids got hit hard and I don't care. 3 kids in Gaza get busted up and I don't fu*kin' care.

I've changed.

I wasn't always like this.

I really want to hurt people of a certain ... ideology. They call it a faith, but it's not. It's an ideology.

I've changed.

Today is the office Chritmas Party. Booze is flowing, the food is great, music thumping, the ladies are festively dressed and in high heels wanting to dance.

Here I am reading RB. Wishing I could hurt certain people of a particular ideology.

I've changed.

Merry Christmas.
