#5 Israel has killed more 200 Palestinians, about half civilians
What's their definition of civilian?

#6 What's their definition of civilian?

Non-Israeli women and children and men and dogs, I do believe.

#7 "I know it's called the 'Martyrs Brigade," but I didn't think I'd actually, you know, have to do the whole martyrdom thing, y'know? I thought that was just for the cannon fodder."

#8 I only joined the Martyrs Brigade to put myself through the Madrassa.

#9 Four other members of the radical group, seen as the loosely affiliated armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas' moderate Fatah party, were wounded, ......... ~~and hopefully still bleeding out.~~

#13 I it just coincidental that while all the attention has been focussed on Lebanon, the IDF has been doing quite a cleanup job in Gaza and the West Bank?

#14 Westhawk posits that Israel has learned to keep its activities at the level which fails to warrant media attention. Thus, rather than take dramatic, violent action warranting video, it has begun a slow motion seige of Gaza to deny the Paleos use of their media weapons. This also recognizes that Israel is at total war with the Paleos and allows action to be taken against the entire Paleo populace.

They've got the frog in the pot. Now to increase the gas slowly.

#15 Add to that the fact that the Paleos have bitten the hand that feeds them, they kidnapped 2 journalists which could signal a change in media direction from pro paleo to anti paleo. For all we know, the jooos could set Jenin on fire and nobody would report it.

#16 They still don't have Gilad Shalit back...

#17 Fadi Khafisha, 29, was killed in Nablus' old town in an exchange of fire with Israeli soldiers.
Only 29? Something tells me that the upper ranks have been really cleaned lately . . .

I vote for immediate testing of this idea.

That's exactly what I was thinking, Doc.

#20 They still don't have Gilad Shalit back...

Fred, much as I hate to admit it, he is most likely dead. If he wasn't killed by order of the higher-ups then he was most likely killed by over-zealous cannon-fodder. I fear the same could be said for those two soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah.

#21 "Add to that the fact that the Paleos have bitten the hand that feeds them, they kidnapped 2 journalists which could signal a change in media direction from pro paleo to anti paleo."

They kidnapped two FOX journalists. If they take CNN or Reuters journalists, then there might be a shift.
