| Ma'an – Thousands of people took to the streets of Gaza on Friday for the funeral of eight people killed in Thursday's Israeli incursion into the central Gaza Strip. They died during an Israeli invasion east of the Al- Maghazi refugee camp. The funeral processions started from Al-Shifa' Hospital in Gaza, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital and Nasser Hospital. During the funeral procession In a telephone interview with Ma'an, Al-Quds brigades' spokesperson Abu Ahmad said that the Israeli attacks against Palestinians means that they want to eliminate the Palestinian resistance and stop their attacks against Israel. He also added that Al Quds brigades lead the resistance in Palestine and the Brigades' rockets had become a strategic threat to Israeli cities. |

| #3 Until Israel can slaughter the entire bunch without deadly recriminations from the West, this mess will continue. While the paleostains deserve a good portion of the blame, I also heap scorn and ridicule upon those Western nations that demand that ISRAEL stop, but never say a word to the paleostains to rein in their foolishness. The $6-7 billion pledged by the west to the paleostains should have some serious strings attached - like "stop making war on Israel, or we'll give our tacit approval to wiping you out once and for all." Nothing else will work. |

| #2 During the funeral procession Only soldiers get a gun salute. The President gets one because he is Commander in Chief. These "people" were militants, and thus legal combatants . In a telephone interview with Ma'an, Al-Quds brigades' spokesperson Abu Ahmad said that the Israeli attacks against Palestinians means that they want to eliminate the Palestinian resistance and stop their attacks against Israel. Well, YEAH. You hit me, I hit you back. In fact, I'll hit you back harder and more often because I want you to stop. If YOUR Allah is so damn big, so damn smart, so damn powerful, and favors and loves Muslims so much, why doesn't he stop Israeli bullets and missiles and tanks himself? Why rely on international pressure on the Israelis? I had a church member piss me off, and I'm still pissed off: we were discussing the palestinian situation, and she pompously asserted that the Israelis should stop attacking the Palestinians, even after I pointed out the rocket attacks on Israeli civilians. I rather heatedly insisted that maybe they should try stopping their attacks. She laughed, as if the thought that Palestinians should stop attacking civilians was crazy, but took seriously the thought that the IDF should stop attacking terrorists. Pissed me off. |
