Responsible posters do that routinely. You don't. You do what is typicaly of and encouraged by wacko extremist. You need clarification. Good. State why by contributing facts rather than posting personal challenges.

Finally to get back on topic........

Iran renews efforts to supply Hamas

Quote:

Iran has renewed efforts to supply advanced weaponry to Hamas and the IDF is concerned that the terror group will try to smuggle long-range Fajr missiles into the Gaza Strip.
According to the latest intelligence assessments, Iran, which was responsible for writing Hamas's military doctrine, has already launched an internal probe to determine how the plan it had created for Hamas failed to cause more IDF casualties.

The military plan created by the Iranians was based on three pillars: The first was the defensive measures that Hamas had created in Gaza, which included dozens of kilometers of tunnels and thousands of roadside bombs and booby-trapped homes.

The second pillar was rocket attacks against the home front. Here too, Hamas failed to fire rockets farther than 40 kilometers, even though it had planned to.

The third pillar was creating a "victory image" in the form of a burned-out tank or the abduction of an IDF soldier.

"Hamas thought it would succeed like Hizbullah did in 2006," a senior defense official said.

On Monday, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said that renewed weapons smuggling would be legitimate grounds for Israel to renew attacks against Hamas.

Quote:

Following a successful pilot on Sunday, direct access from Egypt to Gaza was allowed and 10 trucks with an Egyptian donation of 198 tons of flour entered directly in to Gaza though Kerem Shalom.

Also, the Red Cross facilitated the transfer of 10 ambulances from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in the West Bank to the Gaza Strip, in order to beef up the ambulance fleet in Gaza.

Further medical movements included 33 Palestinians that left Gaza for medical treatment in Israel.

Since the beginning of the operation, 41,937 tons of humanitarian supplies and 2,263,351 liters of fuel have been transferred to the Strip.

This just absolutely amazes me. Why does Hamas need any more weapons? I know that the same could be asked of Israel, but they have a lot more enemies. Nice to see that a lot of aid is getting into Gaza though. Especially interesting were the Palestinians who went to Israel for medical care.

Tw, you've just managed to move from "Unlikeable" to "Disgusting."

When people stop teaching their children to hate, then there will be an end to it all... But unfortunately I don't ever see that happening, the hatred is just too ingrained.

Tell it to the Muslims.

I would not support that statement. Nor did I imply it.

Given the actions of the Palestinians, why ever would they need to, uh, fill in?

Really, DanaC, an excessive and ill-considered bias to the Arabs looks like antisemitism from here. What are you going to do about that? You're shaking the pompoms for a bunch who cry "Victim, Victim!" all the hours of the day, while the whole of their actions scream "Perp! Perp!"

It disgusts the aware and open-eyed.

Undertoad · 01-26-2009, 07:27 AM

They certainly don't teach it the way Hamas does.

classicman · 01-26-2009, 07:42 AM

That is so wrong on so many levels. It just shows that some people do not want peace at all. They are more interested in hate, destruction and death.

TheMercenary · 01-26-2009, 11:43 AM

Maybe a nuclear holocaust in the Mideast is not such a bad idea after all.

I was surprised to learn that Israel censors military info and even banned international reporters from conflict areas. Here is an underground site called Israeli Uncensored News http://samsonblinded.org/news which runs some very odd reports.

Why? Israel routinely tries to censor/control information about what they do. Don't all governments who engage in war?
