#2 They were probably just moving the tanks around to keep the terrorists from sleeping. Big deal. Leave it to their propagandists to turn it into some kind of victory, because that's the only way they're going to get one.

#3 Sounds like you're talking about Israel with that Ruskie cousins' bit but you name yourself Ariel Sharon, what gives?

It becomes unclear whos living room it is when the area was part of the Ottoman empire and they allowed the initial zionists to move in and buy land. IT becomes unclear whos living room it is when the British owned that neighborhood for some time afterwards. IT becomes clear whos living room it is when the UN decided that it belonged to both Israeli and Arabs.

If you want to go back to before the Ottomans the Jews have the older claim to the land. Otherwise the land ownership is clear through a few generations and it is only an Arab living room in the delusional Arab mind that continues to include Andalusia.

When one side pledges to slaughter the other and follows through on those promises in attempt after attempt after attempt than self-defense is indeed the correct term for it.

Perhaps a bit less emotion and a bit more logic.

#4 The real story in all likelihood:
A stray dog, an escapee from an Israeli kennel, wandered across the fence and heroic Hamas freedom-fighters fired 26 RPGs, 12,400 7.62 rounds, and an SA-14 SAM toward it. The frightened dog then retreated back to Israel so quickly that even the BBC and Reuters couldn't get there quickly enough to cover the event. One Hamasnik was killed by a badly aimed RPG and three others shit their pants.

#6 Could anyone clean garbage in aisles 1 and 5? I don't care about his side. He uses too much five letter words and this is a family site (sort of).

#7 AC, your story kinda reminds me of translations we had to do in my old (commie) country on a daily basis.

Yes, it is kinda convenient, an old trick I do not have to learn. But the funny part is I escaped from it, and it is almost as if it was only for a short while (I don't mean Ham-ass PR, I mean media in general, Rooters, AP... without their cooperation, the Hamas/Fatah/AQ/MBPACs would be nothing)

#8 JFM, apparently the #1/5 is an asshole, which seems to limit its perspective on things--everything is passed through prism of its experience and function.

#9 You should keep the troll droppings.

It shows that
a) the left are mad.
b) they always support the west's enemies.

#11 AS I think the subject is "Hamas repells invasion" not whatever you are selling. BTW nobody seems to address the issue that hamass has both mortar and missile capabilities. These are in violation of the (can't count that high) un sponsored "cease fire" agreements. Also they managed to get the material in spite of the "Harsh" Israeli "Blockade" that prevents food, medicine, and ponies to get through to gazaland.

#12 #1 and 5 were somewhat amusing, but #10 had no style....

#17 I think the dog theory is the more accurate one.

That's an awfully tall order for these people.
