This is a war against hamas terrorists wherever they are in the world. If all members of hamas are killed, Israel will be only be 1% safer, but it will be another step closer to protecting their citizens.

7500 rockets lobbed into Israel and hundreds of suicide bombs set off in Jerusalem and elsewhere, which together have killed thousand of Israelis is more than enough reason to go back into the Gaza area of Israel and kill members of hamas.

Israel foolishly allowed palestinians to occupy the Israeli territory of Gaza in 2005, they didn't plan for hamas to take over the area so quickly. Unfortunately much of the hamas leadership has left Gaza for now.

hamas has put most of their rocket launching equipment, their weapons and ammunition in schools and hospitals. hamas, in an effort to sway world opinion, is very good at blowing up schools and hospitals and shooting palestinians in the street and claiming Israelis did it.

It is interesting how self-loathing some Jews can be, even to the point of defending terrorists like hamas. These slime are no longer Jewish, they are terrorists themselves.

I've been watching Al Jazeera the past few days and it is sad that you have to watch News sources outside of the US for more critical debates that aren't drowning in pro-Israel Propaganda and permeated with fear of angering the Lobby. They quickly call out the talking points for what they are instead of parroting them and calling it debate. They show blood and videos of dead civilians, taboos in the sanitized and clean American Media. Shihab Rattansi appears to be doing a great job cutting through the bullshit. I heard it is even more graphic on Al Jazeera Arabic.

American Journalists and Politicians are cowards, cowering in fear of the power of the Israel Lobby painting them as antisemitic terrorists lovers. There is no other explanation to explain the difference between the reporting. You can see the fear in American journalists and you can see that most of the people who appear on Al Jazeera to speak truthfully have no fear of The Lobby. And today the House is supposed to vote on an Israel cheerleading resolution, introduced by the Zionist Pelosi, of course, much like Reid cosponsored the Senate's cheerleading resolution. They need to tell their constituents, as well as the rest of the world, that they are all 100% all about Israel, and that they proudly put the security of Zionist Israelis over the security of their constituents. Anyone want to guess what the vote will look like? Mine is:

Nay - Kucinich, Paul

Yay - Everyone Else

Here is Paul speaking to Congress about Israel's nurturing of Hamas:

Here are Kucinich and Eliot Engel being interviewed by Rattansi regarding the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 that Kucinich is using to go after Israel. Watch how Rattansi cuts right through Engel's propaganda and gets right back to reiterating the point. Where is this kind of debate/pushback in the American media?

Here is Keith Ellison, the only Muslim in Congress, being asked what he thinks (although he is admittedly being careful about choosing his words) about the Democrat's resolution cheerleading the use of American tax dollars in killing civilians:

Here are more clips (most from Al Jazeera's YouTube channel) discussing issues in ways that the US Media won't touch.

A revised Wog is now available and today's ToD has been identified. It was a difficult decision but someone had to do it.

I have changed the way to navigate the site. Read the Langiappe section for details.

"It is interesting how self-loathing some Jews can be"

I know. Talk to Lotus Feet, his family hates Israel. And they're JEWISH!!!!!

Also, I'd get that prescription adjusted, whatever it is you're taking.

Do you support Israel's ongoing settlement expansion in the West Bank, JonathanInTelAviv?

Do you support a 2-state solution based on 1947 borders specified in the UN partition plan, assuming Palestinian government states Israel's right to exist as a state based on that plan?

The next phase, phase 3, of the "War in Gaza" has become obvious. 10,000+ reservists have been called up and are being trained for a massive ground assault to support the IDF troops that are already in there.

The whole thing was planned over 6 months ago, as most of the people here already know. Israel and its cynical ploys to get its enemies to retaliate so that said retaliation can be used as a justification for massive Israeli retaliation. Here is the timeline:

Over 6 months ago Israel starts planning "Cast Lead"

Israel plays lip service to a ceasefire it doesn't take seriously and never intended to uphold.

The Israeli's breaks the ceasefire on Nov 4th by bombing supposed smuggling tunnels, killing four hamas militants, then go in and kill six more militants the next day, in order to provoke a response from Hamas.

Hamas responds, Israel says that Hamas has broken the ceasefire, and then starts unfolding its six month old plan.

Stage two is ground invasion

Stage three is bringing up the 10,000+ reservists to support the ground invasion

But should anyone be surprised by this? It is the MO of Israel.
