#1 Problem is that the Hebrews could all leave Isreal and turn everything over to the Palestinians and with Yasser Arafat around, they would be living in shitholes twenty years from now.

Odd fact though is that the US provides over 70% of the money for the Palestinian ~~slums~~ refuge camps. What about all of that money that Sammy spread around for boomers, how come none of these nutjob organizations that blow up everything and everybody don't spread a little l'argant around and make like a little better in the Palestinian areas? I think we know the answer......they DON'T CARE about the palestinians.........it has nothing to do with palestinians..it is about islamic fundementalism and radical islam.

#2 SOG475,
Pst..., a citizen of Israel is called ISRAELI, with a 80% chance of being a Jew. Hebrew is the prime language of Israel

#3 Here's More: Israeli Army Unit Enters Gaza After Rocket Strike
GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli tank and two armored bulldozers entered the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday after a rocket fired by Palestinian militants there landed inside a large Israeli city for the first time, witnesses said.
They said the bulldozers began felling trees in the Beit Hanoun area. An Israeli security source confirmed the operation. "We are leveling shrubbery, bushes and trees used as shelter for the (militants) who fired the Qassam rocket," the source said.

Israeli officials earlier warned the rocket attack could have crossed a "red line" threshold for major military action inside the Palestinian-administered Mediterranean strip after militant factions called off a seven-week-old cease-fire. Palestinian security officials said Palestinian forces had rushed to Beit Hanoun shortly after the rocket was fired to rein in Hamas militants responsible, preventing further launchings. The Qassam rocket hit an industrial zone in the coastal city of Ashkelon, 5.5 miles north of the Gaza boundary, but caused no damage or injuries, the Israeli army said.

It was the farthest a Qassam had been fired into Israel since a Palestinian uprising for statehood began in 2000.

#4 Well, so much for the much ballyhooed security fence the Israelis are building; it's not even completed, yet the Palis have already found a way to attack Israel despite it.
Security fence, hudna, roadmap, etc. are only delaying the inevitable, which is: Israel will have to transfer the Pali population out of Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza strip. And you know what, the people most loathe to do such are the Israelis themselves. They remember their own people being loaded into cattle cars and shipped off to the death camps. It will be a very painfull thing for them to eventually do, but do it, they eventually must.

#5 Isn't Kassam a really bad movie starring Shaquille O'Neil?
