Calls grow around the world for calm in Gaza
2008-12-29
A long list of public statements, none of which will matter much.
It'll be a lot calmer when all the Hamas bigs are deaders ...

#13  Angry protests also took place in several cities around the world on Sunday against Israel after its air strikes in Gaza killed at least 270 people and wounded hundreds more. In London, hundreds of demonstrators battled riot police in an attempt to enter the Israeli Embassy, according to media reports.

Yeah, I think I know the kinda "calm" they want...

#11  The U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Zalmay Khalilzad, supported Israel's contention that it was up to Hamas to stop the violence. "Israel has the right to self defense and nothing in this press statement should be read as anything but that," Khalilzad said.

That, my dears, does not sound like the US is calling upon Israel to stop attacking the Gaza Strip. I didn't bother reading further into the article to see who else is not calling for an end to Israeli attacks. I'm afraid CNN is reporting from their imaginary world again.

#10  So where are the calls for the end to the violence in Sderot - where Hamas and its surrogates have been firing rockets at civilians continually for _years_.

I guess they don't matter since they're Jooos right?

#9  Wake me when they get that agitated about dead and dying Jews as a result of Hamas/Fatah/Hizbullah/insert-your-local-crazy-Muslim -group-here activity, and I might actually give a damn.

#8  Could the rockets flying out of Gaza a result of the lowering/dropping of oil prices ?? Would this be a way to get them to increase again ?? I see that oil is up to over $40 bbl this am??

#7  I call for calm in Gaza. The only way to do that is to get rid of the Paleos though.

#6  I want calm in Gaza. But I understand it's going to take a little longer for the Israelis to achieve it. As soon as all the Hamassholes are room temp, we'll have calm. So chill and wait for the calm.

#5  Calls grow around the world for calm in Gaza

The success barometer working properly I see.

#4  Not from me. I call for Total War.

#3  Where were the calls for calm when rockets were flying out of Gaza. Where were the angry protests when shells were falling on Israeli cities.

Fuck them.

#2  AC, excellent! I just wish there were plenty of bridges to sell to Soddys to reduce their truckloads of cash even further. Do we have some glitzy but not particularly functional (without a very thick RTFM) weapon systems?

#1  The Pals may see a decline in their media and academic support as collapsing oil prices reduce the flow of gifts, grants, fellowships, inflated speaking fees, and other bribes to western professors, media personalities, peace activists, and other prostitutes.
