Gazan terrorists blow themselves up, blame Israel, launch rockets

Once again terrorists hiding among the civilian populace cause the death of an innocent person. In this case it was a 4 month old girl. Of course Hamas will spin it as a holy mission. And another child will never get the chance to experience life.

Gaza house blast kills 7; Hamas hints at accident

BEIT LAHIYA, Gaza Strip - An explosion flattened a house in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, killing seven people. After blaming Israel and unleashing a barrage of rockets and mortar shells, Hamas suggested the blast was accidental, not an Israeli attack.

By then Israel had carried out an airstrike aimed at a Gaza rocket squad, killing a Palestinian. Two other Israeli military operations in Gaza killed five more militants.

The violence threatened to scuttle Egyptian cease-fire efforts as they approached the finish line. A key Israeli envoy, Amos Gilad, was in Egypt trying to wrap up a deal, but there was no announcement of results.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said the military was not operating in the area of the house at the time of the blast.

“We deny any connection to this incident,” Maj. Avital Leibovich said.

Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida said there would be an investigation of the blast and the results would be made public.

The statement was taken as a Hamas acknowledgment that the blast was probably accidental, not an Israeli attack. Dozens of militants have been killed while handing explosives in recent years.

The blast shook the town of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, about a mile from the Israeli border.

Ambulances rushed to the scene, and residents of nearby homes brought shovels and bulldozers to help dig people out. Three people covered in blood were carried out on stretchers and hurried into ambulances that sped them away to a hospital.

Hamas said seven people were killed, including a 4-month-old girl and a senior aide to the Hamas interior minister. Several bodies were removed from the rubble. Among the dead were five militants, Hamas said.

Lebanese terrorist released in Israeli show of good faith promises return to terrorism

And the Israelis of course capitulate and release him anyway, instead of putting a bullet in him, as he deserves.

NETANYA, Israel, May 30 (UPI) — A Lebanese man who is set to be released by Israel as part of a prisoner exchange deal with Hezbollah says he will engage in terrorism once he is free.

Samir Kuntar, who was imprisoned 29 years ago after he was convicted of killing a family and two police officers in a terrorist attack, said in a letter to Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah he plans to fight with the militant group once he is freed from Hadarim Prison in the Sharon region, Ynetnews reported Friday.

“I give you my promise and oath that my only place will be in the fighting front soaked with the sweat of your giving and with the blood of the shahids (martyrs), the dearest people, and that I will continue your way until we reach a full victory. I send my best wishes and promise of renewed loyalty to you, sir, and to all the jihad fighters,” Kuntar wrote.

Hamas vows to keep killing, while Jimmy Carter calls on Israel to appease them

While Jimmy Carter hugs and plays tea time with terrorists Hamas, they, along with their underlings, islamic jihad, push forward in their goal to exterminate Israel.

Israel blasted as ‘paper tiger’ after latest retreat of troops

Palestinian terrorists demonstrate what is really in their hearts. And it is NOT tolerance or peace.

‘We’ll keep firing until every Jew climbs back into the sh—- hole he came from’

JERUSALEM – Terrorists in the Gaza Strip are rejoicing at an Israeli decision today to evacuate troops stationed at a major Gaza-Israel border crossing following repeated Palestinian attack against Israel’s side of the border station.

“This retreat proves the Israeli army is a paper tiger. What we proved to the world in 2005 (when Israel evacuated its Jewish communities from the Gaza Strip) we are proving once again. We are reaching a new step and proving our resistance and our rockets are working,” Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesman and a leader of the Hamas-allied Popular Resistance Committees terror group, told WND.

“Just as the Zionists are running from the border, they will also run from Ashkelon, Ashdod, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa and Tel Aviv … . We will keep firing until every Jew climbs back into the sh–ty hole he came from,” said Abdel-Al, whose group took responsibility for scores of recent attacks against the Israeli border.

Abu Ahmed, a leader of the Islamic Jihad terror group in Gaza, called Israel’s troop evacuation a “victory.”

“We feel proud and determined,” he said. “Israelis start to withdraw from bases that are well-fortified because the Palestinian resistance proved that we are able to reach them at any point even if it is very fortified. We are proving once again that the myth of the unbeatable Israeli army is irrelevant,” Abu Ahmed told WND.

Time for Israel to launch another massive operation against terror. Terrorists always claim to love death. Give it to them.

Palestinian terrorist detonates prematurely, killing only himself

A terrorist tale with a happy ending, for infidels everywhere.

Palestinian suicide bomber attacks Gaza crossing

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A Palestinian suicide bomber detonated a truck loaded with tons of explosives early Thursday in an attempt to ram a crucial crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel, militants said. There were no casualties besides the bomber.

Also mentioned, was a shooting involving Palestinian gunmen hiding among civilians, like they always do. Of course the media tries to paint it as if Israel intentionally shot at the civilians.

Israeli troops opened fire on a crowd of protesters at another border crossing several hours later. A Gaza health official said a 22-year-old man was killed and 16 people, including three children, were wounded. The military said it opened fire after spotting gunmen in the crowd, including one carrying an anti-tank missile.

Two militant Palestinian factions — Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades — claimed responsibility for the bombing at the Erez passenger crossing, which could be heard for miles around and shattered windows in Netiv Haasara, an Israeli community across the border.

Abu Ahmad, an Islamic Jihad spokesman, said the bombing was meant to “send a message” to Israel that if it didn’t accept a truce, “Gaza is not going to be a place where you will enjoy stability.”

Gotta love the terrorist mentality of “Accept our truce, or else!”.

Israel proposes naval blockade on Iran

A Good start…They should help us though, unless I’m missing something…

Novosti-Russian News

TEL AVIV, May 21 (RIA Novosti) - The Israeli prime minister has proposed that a U.S. naval blockade be imposed on Iran to stop the Islamic Republic from moving ahead with its uranium enrichment program, an Israeli newspaper said on Wednesday.

According to the Haaretz daily, at a meeting in Jerusalem with the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, Ehud Olmert said, “The present economic sanctions [against Iran] have run out of steam,” and proposed “a naval blockade of Iran,” using the U.S. navy to limit movement in and out of the Islamic Republic by Iranian merchant ships.

As an alternative, he proposed placing restrictions on Iranian aircraft, businessmen and senior Iranian officials at airports throughout the world.

“Iranian businesspeople, unable to land anywhere in the world, would pressure the regime,” Haaretz quoted Olmert as saying.

Bin Laden lashes out at Arab leaders

In his latest tape to be released, Osama bin Laden has called for all out jihad to liberate “palestine” from Israel. This is just another attempt to shore up support for a failing al Qaeda in Iraq, which has been bested by the United States Armed Forces, and is being hunted and exterminated by the fledgling and improving Iraqi Armed Forces.

CAIRO, Egypt - Osama bin Laden released a new message on Sunday denouncing Arab leaders for sacrificing the Palestinians and saying the head of the Shiite militant group Hezbollah did not really have the strength to take on Israel.

In his second audio message in three days focusing on the Palestinians, the al-Qaida leader said the only way to liberate Palestine is to fight the Arab regimes that are protecting Israel. And he called on Muslim militants in Egypt to help break the blockade of Gaza.

Bin Laden said Muslims should ignore the Islamic prohibition against raising arms against fellow Muslims, claiming it was legitimate to rise up against leaders who are not governing according to Islamic law. Those leaders, he said, came to power “either by a military coup or with backing from foreign forces.”

“Those (Arab) kings and leaders sacrificed Palestine and Al-Aqsa to keep their crowns,” bin Laden said, referring to Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, one of Islam’s holiest sites. “But we will not be relieved of this responsibility.”

His 22-minute audiotape was posted on an Islamic militant Web site where al-Qaida leaders have issued past statements. The voice sounded like bin Laden’s, although the authenticity of the tape could not be independently verified.

Bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahri frequently attack Arab leaders as traitors and sellouts. But they are increasingly focusing on the Palestinian issue in recent messages, aiming to increase their appeal to an Arab public widely sympathetic to the Palestinian plight.

Bin Laden’s last audio message, released Friday to mark the 60th anniversary of Israel’s establishment, vowed to continue what he called al-Qaida’s struggle against the Jewish state.

With his denunciation of Arab leaders, bin Laden portrayed himself as the true defender of the Palestinian cause.

Polish authorities charge Kuwaiti ambassador’s son in Jewish abduction case

This is a follow up on the article about the Jewish teens who were taken hostage by a peaceful and tolerant muslim.

Read the original post here

WARSAW, Poland: Polish authorities charged the Kuwaiti ambassador’s son with briefly abducting three Jewish teenagers at a hotel and claiming he had a bomb, police said Tuesday.

The 23-year-old son of Ambassador Khaled Al-Shaibani, identified only as Mohammad A., was charged with holding the teenagers against their will, Warsaw police spokesman Anna Kedzierzowska said.

Kedzierzowska said the suspect has confessed and faces a suspended sentence of 10 months to three years. The suspect will be released pending his court hearing. No date had been set.

The Kuwaiti Embassy confirmed the suspect was the ambassador’s son, but declined further comment.

Let’s hope the sumbitch doesn’t skip town like that Yemeni piece of trash Farooq Abdulhak who disappeared just shortly before his girlfriend’s body was found in his basement.

Hamas now claims Jews engineered the holocaust

Oh those duplicitous gazan terrorists just can’t make up their primitive minds!! First, in line with Iran’s mahmoud I’mADamnNutJob they deny the holocaust. Now they are saying the Jews themselves caused it, to “thin the herd” as it were. This makes me wish the gazans would enlist mores suicide bombers, to thin their herd. Morons.

Hamas Adds ‘Sinister Twist’ to Holocaust Denial

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com)
Although Holocaust denial has long been a common theme among Palestinians, Hamas has added a ’sinister twist,’ claiming that the Jews themselves devised the Holocaust to exterminate the disabled and handicapped among them so they wouldn’t be a burden to the future State of Israel.

The documentary, which aired on Hamas Al-Aksa television on April 18 - two weeks before Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day on Thursday — was translated by the Palestinian Media Watch and can be found on YouTube.

Over archival footage of the first Israeli leaders, a Holocaust death camp and Nazi Germany, a narrator “quotes” Israel’s first Prime Minister David Ben Gurion as saying that the “disabled and handicapped” represent a “heavy burden” to the state.

“The Satanic Jews thought up an evil plot [the Holocaust] to be rid of the burden of the disabled and handicapped, in twisted criminal ways,” the narrator says.

“While they accuse the Nazis or others so that Jews would seem persecuted and try to benefit from international sympathy, they were the first to invent the methods of evil and oppression,” the narrator says.

Wow, these inbred f**ktards accuse Israel of doing the very thing Hamas is guilty of(creating falls crises like the “power outages” they stage so they can reload their rocket launchers in the dark while the few good people in gaza starve). There is no low that those terrorists won’t stoop to. But we already knew that, given the recent school shooting they perpetrated, the threats they make against Egypt, the kidnappings of reporters, the launching of rockets at hospitals, and their use of children as human shields to protect their bomb making houses. That Israel hasn’t simply cut ALL power, all supply lines is a testament to the compassion of the Jewish people. Let’s hope their compassion doesn’t become their undoing, because if the roles were reversed, Hamas would simply wipe them out, which is their stated goal.

Obama adviser: Israel must give up its nukes

More appeasement from the lefties. Gotta love it!!!

JERUSALEM – Israel should give up its nuclear weapons to ensure Iran halts its illicit nuclear program, argues an adviser on nuclear issues to Sen. Barack Obama.

Joseph Cirincione, director of nuclear policy at the Center for American Progress, also previously dismissed reports Israel’s Sept. 6 airstrike targeted a Syrian nuclear reactor as “nonsense” and called Damascus’ nuclear program “miniscule.”

Immediately following Israel’s air raid, Cirincione listed “Israelis [who] want to thwart any dialogue between the U.S. and Syria” as among those spreading rumors Syria was constructing a nuclear facility.

Cirincione was commenting on a Sept. 13 Washington Post story about possible links between Syria and North Korea.

Wow this guy is a real genius!!! Because of him we now know that all we have to do is lay down our arms and muslim terrorists from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran et al, will stop targeting Israeli civilians and calling for the destruction of the Jewish State.

Hamas terrorist leader killed in Gaza air strike

Score one more for the good guys!!

GAZA CITY (AFP)- An air strike on Thursday killed a Hamas military leader in Gaza who took part in the 2006 capture of an Israeli soldier, the Israeli military said.

The Israelis “targeted and identified hitting Nafiz Mansur, a Hamas terror operative who was involved in terror attacks against Israel,” it said in a statement.

“Mansur was involved, among other attacks, in the capture of Gilad Shalit,” it said in reference to the Israeli seized by Palestinian militants in a cross-border raid from Gaza claimed by Hamas and two other armed groups.

The statement said the militant also bore responsibility for the killing of two Israeli soldiers in a July 2006 attack, and took part in setting up a suicide assault on a border post on April 19 this year.

The Islamist Hamas movement confirmed Mansur’s death and said it would “respond to this crime at the adequate time and place.”

The adequate time and place being after they call for a cease fire during which they can re-arm and reload their rocket launchers.

UPDATE - I corrected my initial headline which read “military” and replaced it with “terrorist”. The last thing I want to do is legitimize those who blow themselves up, shoot up schools and want to carry on the legacy of the Nazi’s.

Update On Syrian Nuke Reactor Hit By Israeli Air Force

Syrian reactor capacity was 1-2 weapons/year: CIA

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A suspected Syrian reactor bombed by Israel had the capacity to produce enough nuclear material to fuel one to two weapons a year, CIA Director Michael Hayden said on Monday.

Hayden said the plutonium reactor was within weeks or months of completion when it was destroyed in an air strike last September 6, and within a year of entering operation it could have produced enough material for at least one weapon.

So Iraq is beset on both sides by a potential nuclear threat.

“In the course of a year after they got full up, they would have produced enough plutonium for one or two weapons,” Hayden told reporters after a speech.

The reactor was of a “similar size and technology” to North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor, Hayden said, disputing speculation it was smaller than the Korean facility.

“We would estimate that the production rate there would be about the same as Yongbyon, which is about enough plutonium for one or two weapons per year,” he said.

Hayden’s comments were the first statement on the suspected reactor’s capacity, and his first public remarks since the United States released photos of what it said was a secret nuclear reactor built with North Korean aid.

Syria has denied the U.S. charges and accused Washington of involvement in the air attack by Israel, which is believed to have the only nuclear arsenal in the Middle East.

Of course Syria denied the charge. They also denied that terrorists were entering Iraq as early as 2004. Well, we have the solace of knowing that Israel acted to prevent the threat of a nuclear Syria. Thank God for that. Read the rest courtesy of Yahoo! News.

Israel rejects cease fire says “Hamas playing games”

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Hamas wants a cease fire to rest their terrorists, re-arm and re-equip, and they want to call it a “truce” for 6 months…puuuhlease

Of course, the UN will condemn Israel for rejecting a so-called “peace offer” by Hamas.

CNN – An Israeli official says a Hamas proposal for a truce in the Gaza Strip is “not serious” and would only allow the hardline Islamic group to prepare for a new round of fighting.

Israeli government spokesman David Baker says the group is “playing games, trying to buy time in order to regroup and rearm.”

Hamas officials said this week that the group is prepared to accept a cease-fire in Gaza.

The announcement from Hamas was a concession, because the group was previously demanding a cease-fire that would include the West Bank as well.

In Friday’s statement, Baker said Israel will “continue to take all measures to defend its citizens.”

UN Nuclear Chief blasts Israel for bombing Syrian Nuke plant

While blasting Israel and the US he couldn’t find any words to criticize Syria or North Korea for violating international law by pursuing un-authorized nuclear proliferation.

Once again, the anti-Israel bias of the UN shows it’s ugly face.

El-Baradei is upset that he wasn’t told sooner about the intelligence gathered at the secret Syrian nuclear site, and blasts Israel and the US for not telling him beforehand about the plans to destroy it.

The Jerusalem Post reports:

The head of the UN nuclear monitoring agency on Friday criticized the US for not giving his organization intelligence information sooner on what Washington says was a nuclear reactor in Syria being built secretly by North Korea.

IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei also chastised Israel for bombing the site seven months ago, in a statement whose strong language reflected his anger at being kept out of the picture for so long.

And El-Baradedi’s statement:

“The Director General deplores the fact that this information was not provided to the Agency in a timely manner, in accordance with the Agency’s responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to enable it to verify its veracity and establish the facts,” ElBaradei’s office said.

Additionally, “the Director General views the unilateral use of force by Israel as undermining the due process of verification that is at the heart of the non-proliferation regime,” it said.

ElBaradei did not criticize North Korea or Syria in his statement.
