Beit Hanoun: It was like a Sh*t Storm Tsunami (Feel Free to Point and Laugh)
2006-11-08

57 graves dug for Palestinians killed in IDF Operation Autumn Clouds. Palestinians report hundreds of homes damaged
Great photos and video coverage at the link. Major whupass six packs were opened.
Israeli forces pulled out of a battered northern Gaza town on Tuesday after their biggest operation in the Palestinian territory in a year, leaving residents to bury their dead.
If you want to see us again, just launch another rocket.
“This is the worst raid we have ever witnessed,” Said Khalil Yazji, a 45-year-old resident and police officer. “The Israeli army has brought destruction into every single street and nearly into every single house. This is the tsunami of Beit Hanoun.”
Welcome to the wages of genocidal hatred you idiots. Learn peace and maybe someday youÂ’ll have a home that stands for more than a year.
Israeli forces killed five gunmen and a civilian and wounded 13 people on Tuesday in raids on three other areas in the northern Gaza Strip, staging grounds for rocket attacks on southern Israel, militant groups and hospital officials said. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the IDF operation in Gaza and said that Israel would not ensure its safety by shedding blood.
Maybe not, but they certainly ensured that there was a steep price tag attached to allowing your neighborhood to be a rocket launching base.
“The Israelis leave one area and enter another,” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said. “We have spoken to the American administration and to the Europeans that such a situation cannot help restoring security and stability,” he said.
Something tells me that the Israelis are more intent on making the Palestinians feel their pain for a change instead of worrying about restoring any nonexistent “security and stability”.
If Israel wants peace and security, it has to stop shedding Palestinian blood,” Abbas explained.
As always, youÂ’ve got it backwards there, Abu Mudhen. Stop all attacks on Israel and see how fast peace blossoms. You wouldnÂ’t want that now would you? It might force you to begin taking responsibility for the complete and total lack of all economic growth in the Terrortories. Ooooh look! Something shiny explosive.
Beit HanounÂ’s mayor, a member of the governing Islamic group Hamas, said some 40 homes were destroyed and 400 damaged during the fighting. The local weapons depot mosque was completely destroyed except for its tower.
Now ainÂ’t that a shame. WhereÂ’re are ya gonna preach all your hate now?
A resident of the town, Muhammed Abu Uda said, “Every day of the operation we heard from the media what was happening, because we were closed up in the house, but what we saw this morning doesn’t come close to what we heard on the radio and television.”
IsnÂ’t it wonderful when things exceed your expectations?
“It’s obvious that someone came and deliberately destroyed sidewalks. They destroyed potholes and we are drowning in sewage. There isn’t a home without a bullet hole in it, and that is in the best case – in the worst case the house is partly or completely destroyed,” Abu Uda said.
The IDF gives extra points for thoroughness.
He also said that more qassem deployment crews from other towns in the Strip arrived to try and get Beit Hanoun back to launching more rockets like normal.
“The local crews are drowning in work. All the roads are blocked, water and electricity infrastructure have crashed. There is no water, no electricity, and the roads are full of sand mounds and rocks the soldiers set up as blockades. Everything here is ruined and there is so much death,” Abu Uda explained.
ArenÂ’t paybacks a b!tch?
Beit Hanoun was slowly becoming a large mournerÂ’s tent as people went about the task of identifying the dead. Graves were briskly dug, following the murder of 57 Palestinians in last weekÂ’s operation.
CanÂ’t let that bit of biased shit slip by. This wasnÂ’t murder, it was reprisal for constant attacks on Israel.
Palestinians claimed that a four year old and twelve year old are among the dead, as well as three teenagers, but the IDF says that reports of civilian casualties have been exaggerated.
No kids, just puppies and fluffy baby ducklings, thatÂ’s all.
Many families still don't know if their loved ones are among the dead or have left the town. "There are 10-15 unclaimed bodies in various hospitals and people who don't know where their sons are rushing from hospital to hospital trying to see if he is among the dead," said Abu Uda, "but after all this and after the days of mourning are over we will be left with the scars this operations has left on the children. I just want to say – go explain to the people on your side that this operation will not stop the rockets."
If you gave a damn about your children youÂ’d stop strapping semtex onto them and sending them next door. The constant teaching of hatred and genocide does more to scar your children than any Israeli operation. You just canÂ’t bear to admit that being repaid in full kicked the living shit out of your entire town.

#13  Potholes = Manholes or maybe septic tanks? They may even have above ground waste storage tanks that were cracked during the onslaught.

Man alive! Am I ever going to lose some sleep worrying over this. I'm hoping that the IDF makes this general policy for all rocket assaults. At some point, they must crush the Palestinians' will to support this insanity. If this cannot be done, they need to inflict such dramatic damage to their infrastructure that, eventually, they simply cannot launch anywhere near the assaults they once did.

Once again the Paleos go from invincible men of iron will and violence to helpless victims of incomprehensible brutality in world record time.

I've got to hand it to Baba Tutu. This one observation really nails the old domination - victim flip-flop that the Arabs are so fond of. These Lions of Islam™ are the world's fiercest warriors until someone coldcocks them in a fair fight, then suddenly they are the most abject whiney woe beset miserable bunch of pathetic squalling bastards anyone's ever seen.

We need to keep them in the latter state ... permanently.

#12  Possib;y a mistranslation,
Perhaps they mean Outhouses (ShitHoles-PotHoles?)

#11  Government funding for roads is running scarce these days, potholes probably there before anyway!

#10  Well, maybe there's a bright side to all of this for the Paleos. Maybe they could just pave over all those potholes with steel plates, like they do here in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Atlanta, lol!

#9  Machine guns are popular accessories for the well-equipped modern tank. Often a big one co-axial with the main gun and a smaller, more personal one up on the turret.

P.S. I like the part about blowing up the potholes. That's some thorough whupass!

#8  I'm confused, RD. What are you babbling about?

#7  I'm just a little civilian housewife who touched a gun once, so conceivably I'm talking through my hat on the subject.

LOL TW, love your 'delicate' humor... now don't forgit to wash that baad little hat'hand.

#6  Destroyed potholes, ya say? Would you care to elaborate on that? The term confuses me.

#5  Every house had bullet holes? That sounds more like the results of local festivities than Israeli tanks. Of course, I'm just a little civilian housewife who touched a gun once, so conceivably I'm talking through my hat on the subject.

Destroying the sidewalks and potholes (not sure how you could tell, but I'm willing to take this on faith) is an extremely nice touch.

Nice job this time IDF. Keep it up!

#2  Once again the Paleos go from invincible men of iron will and violence to helpless victims of incomprehensible brutality in world record time. They have turned it into an art form.

#1  Looks like the Israelis have learned that mercy breeds terrorists. Looks like the "Palestinians" have learned nothing. Looks like the MSM is still trying to direct public opinion along lines that will guarantee this conflict continues indefinitely.
