Peres: Why are they still shooting at us despite the disengagement?
2007-09-12
In his first comments on the subject since Tuesday morning's Kassam rocket attack which left 69 soldiers wounded, President Shimon Peres voiced wonder at the Palestinian terror groups' decision to continue with such tactics. "It makes no sense why they would continue to shoot at us despite the fact that we disengaged from the Gaza Strip," Peres said during a Rosh Hashana toast for foreign diplomats.
Time for Shimon to retire gracefully to a pleasant home by the sea.
Galveston works. I'd like him safely out of the way of any TV cameras.

Because they're Muslims. And they'll continue to shoot at you-- and fire rockets at your day care centers, blow themselves up on your busses, and slit the throats of any Jew they can lay their hands on-- NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

Except for the one course of action which WILL work: kill enough of the filthy bastards-- and "enough" might mean a sizeable majority of them-- and they'll decide this jihad crap isn't worth the pain.

#17  Procopius2k, there is no better allegory for explaining the Muslim mind in general. All the violence and atrocities are simply their "nature". There is no other explanation nor is any other needed for us to reach the proper conclusion.

#16  This clueless ass really needs to just shut up. Even formerly intelligent and Hawkish Israelis, like Ariel Sharon, seem to catch this dumbass disease later in life.

Hey guys, get a clue: The Arabs want you DEAD. They want your children DEAD. They want all the Jews DEAD. They will accept nothing less. You can tell they are lying because their lips are moving. You can't negotiate. You can't reason. There's no such thing as 'land for peace'. The only thing you can do is destroy the evil bastards when they try to destroy you.

Sheesh! Sometimes Israelis can be their own worst enemies.

#12  Why are they shooting? Killing "disbelievers" (kafirs) is like breathing to most Muslims.

Sharon used disproportionate retaliation as a response to terror; Olmert tosses rhetoric bombs.

#11  The Scorpion and the Frog is a fable often mis-attributed to Aesop. The story is about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion reassures him that they would both die if that happened. The frog then agrees; nevertheless, in mid-river, the scorpion stings him, dooming the both of them, and when asked why, explains, "I'm a scorpion; it's my nature."

#9  Apparently the dotty old boy thinks they are just being dramatic when they talk about pushing the Jews into the sea, killing every last one of them and other threats of that kind......or someone has been upping their dosage of stupid pills way beyond what is medically recommended.

#7  A propos de lÂ’Etat juifÂ…

About Yoram Hazony's "The Jewish State" book.

shimon peres, quoted from the "New middle east" book : " any idea of a small Nation-State - jewish State included - has collapsed" (quoted in lÂ’Etat juif, p. 103); "there is no doubt that the next objective of Israel will have to become a member of the arab league" (id. p. 107).

1996 interview after losing to Bibi:

Interviewer: What happened in this election?
Peres: We lost.
Interviewer: We?
Peres: Us, the israelis.
Interviewer: And who won?
Peres: Those who don't have an israeli mentality.
Interviewer: And who are they?
Peres: The jews.

#4  "It makes no sense why they would continue to shoot at us despite the fact that we disengaged from the Gaza Strip"

Well, he's got that half right anyway. Based on the assumption you were talking about a population not made up of way too many of those genocidal psychopaths.

Let's stay real quiet and hide behind these bushes and see if he manages to take the next logical step. I doubt it will happen anytime soon though because he has way too much invested in pulling out of Gaza.

#3  De nial is not the river in Egypt, but the state of mind of Peres.

This also demonstrates how the leftist ideology overrides one's common sense and impedes the ability to discern reality.
