Israeli bombing turns Gaza into ghost town
2014-07-13
[NEWS.YAHOO] In Gazoo City, one of the world's most densely populated cities. A ceaseless Israeli bombing campaign, with Arclight airstrikes every five minutes, has turned the frenetic hub of the Gazoo Strip into a virtual ghost town, emptying streets, closing shops and keeping hundreds of thousands of people close to home where they feel safest from the bombs.

In Israel, hundreds of rockets fired by Gazoo Death Eaters also send civilians running into bomb shelters and staying close to home. However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
 there have been no fatalities there, while the corpse count in Gazoo topped 120 on Saturday from the five-day offensive.

In Gazoo, residents remain torn between fear for their safety and sadness over the loss of a normal Ramadan, usually a time of deep spirituality leavened by great joy and celebration.
I dunno about you, but my tears have certainly been jerked.
"The situation is very bad and not usual at all," housewife Umm Al-Abed said. "People in the month of Ramadan used to visit each other and go to buy things that are only sold during Ramadan. But now because of the atmosphere of war, people are afraid to go out and there are no salaries for anyone."

#5  One thing that has never been clear to me is whether you get extra points for murdering infidels, Crusaders, and Jews during Ramadan, or whether you are expected to behave for a month. Opinions seem divided.

As for "there have been no fatalities there, while the corpse count in Gazoo topped 120 ", it seems unfair to ding the Israelis for being better at not dying than their enemies are at killing them. Not really a surprising outcome, given that one side is a modern, industrialized nation and the other is a savage, tribal people, lacking an industrial base, who depend on their neighbors for both sustenance and munitions.

#4  Turned it into a ghost town. Now they need to turn the ghost town into rubble.

#3  Gaza folks would have a great Ramadan if they would quit harboring jihadi a$$holes. Got to get out of the victim mentality and into cause and effect.

Don't hold yer breath though. They don't love their children more than they love death.

I must have the most severe case of dry eyes in history. I can't shed a tear for them at all.
