IDF strikes Hamas cell in Gaza, 2 killed
Hours after rocket crashes into Ashkelon shopping mall, Israel launches airstrike against Hamas cells in Gaza. Palestinian sources say IDF also firing artillery rounds near Beit Lahiyah region
Ali Waked
Less than 12 hours after Palestinians launched a Grad rocket into a busy Ashkelon shopping mall and wounded 15 people, the IAF targeted a Hamas cell in the Sajayia neighborhood in Gaza City.
Two Hamas gunmen have been reported killed in the strike, two more were wounded.
Palestinians sources said the IDF was also firing artillery rounds towards a target in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza. No casualties have been reported thus far.
Israel is expected to step up its operations against Hamas in the near future, particularly against the Islamist group's leadership and infrastructure.
Speaking at the president's conference in Jerusalem on Wednesday evening, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called the Ashkelon attack "completely unacceptable.
"The Israeli government is committed to stopping (these attacks) and we will take the necessary steps,"
he vowed.
Olmert remarked that he had expressed his concern for the residents of southern Israel only a few hours before the attack occurred, in his meeting with US President George W. Bush.
"The president arrived (here) on a mission of peace," he said. "At the end of the day we can rely only on ourselves for our security, but we will always know we have someone to lean on."

I've never suggested making peace with Hamas you fool!!!!
The settlers can't be trusted either. Get off your high horse and stop being a racist fuck. You condone terrorism when it is directed at the Palestinians so don't try to give the impression that you give a shit about peace. If you want to know the specific act of terrorism that you condone, how about Baruch Goldstein for one? You ignore when the settlers commit racist and terroristic acts and the ultimate hypocrite. You're sickening. -

Who are you kidding? You would probably be the reason that help is needed. The Palestinians living in the West Bank need help now and all you can do is post bullshit articles to justify treating them as subhuman.
You do your best to excuse actions committed against people who are being forced to live under the racist system that you are too weak to examine truthfully. You have no spine, and you certainly have no integrity.
People that don't trust others are generally not trustworthy themselves, and I find it very interesting that you don't trust the Palestinians. My guess is that somewhere in that little brain of yours you are in conflict over the disparity of quality of life between the settlers and the Palestinians. Somewhere there has to be some humanity that is in conflict with your actions and opinions, because your gross generalizations and attempts to justify the status quo in the West Bank makes no sense on a humanitarian level.
You can make fun of what I say all you want, I totally don't care. What you're really doing is showing that you can't face what I'm saying in a mature dignified way so you try to create a joke to distract attention from your own contradictions. I take what you say seriously, and I put thought into my responses. If you really believe the things you say, if you really consider why you have certain views and still make absurd and prejudicial comments and justifications, then I pity you. When I said to stand up for what is right, not just for what is right for you, I'm sure that you understood what I meant, yet your response was irrelevant. I've never said that you shouldn't help Jewish people....but you ignore the fact that the Jewish people in the West Bank are responsible for a tremendous amount of pain, and they aren't helping the other people at all. So your point of helping your brother first ignores the fact that you only help your brother and that makes my point completely. You seem to find pleasure in the fact that the Palestinians are living under desperate conditions, as if you can think that Jews are better than Arabs because they aren't living in poverty. Kind of sick isn't it...sadly it fits your words and perspectives. You are one sick racist. -

Thu, May 15, 2008 - 10:55 PMSheik,
I doubt that you really think about what I say (at least outside of opinions that you have already formed) You use words and labels to discredit what i say so that you don't have to actually think about whether what I am saying is true or not. I used to be like you, wanting to believe in peace so badly that I was willing to turn a blind eye to the nature of certain groups of people. I interact with Arabs in Israel all the time, every day. On a soul level I have no problems with anyone. I enjoy diversity and differences in peoples, the Arab culture has beautiful qualities, music, food, language, clothing, hospitality etc. Eventually however, what I couldn't get around was the big picture. the Arab Islamic world hates Jews who are Jews. Maybe in your liberal world you can say that you are friends with Arabs that that Arabs are friends with Jews. But lets face it. Part of what makes a Jew a Jew is Jerusalem, Torah, Mitzvot. Theses are the things that define and created what we are. Just because someone has a Jewish mother doesn't make him behave, or value what being Jewish is. (I am rambling...) Tachlis, I couldn't get around the history of Jews in Israel being attacked and massacred way before any "Zionist oppression" . On the "west bank" Jews and Israel were targeted way before Israel took control of the area. There has been a continuous presence of Jews living in Hevron since before Islam was even created, in then 1930's all of the Jews were expelled from Hevron by Arab mobs. But I have posted all of this info before. In the next couple of days I will post it again I guess.
Do I want peace? More than you know, on a very deep level. Do I believe in Peace with certain groups? Not anymore. I am not willing to Ideologically turn a blind eye to what is obviously a well planned attack on the Jewish Nation using people like pawns, calling and keeping them refugees for far to long. the west bank was under Jordanian rul for almost 30 years, why hasn't Jordan, with all of it's land mass, even attempted to absorb its own people?! Gaza was controlled by Egypt, and the Egyptians treat the Gazans with even less respect than Israel does. I really think when it comes to people like you sheik it is a classic case of Jewish guilt combined with the desire to fix the world. I do believe that you have good intentions, you just need to stop labeling what you think is propaganda, Right winged, conservative, "racist" and look at the big picture.

Instead of compromising to the excuses for not doing what is right about the Palestinians I really wish you would take a stand for what the people so desperately need in order to survive and function without having to rely on people who leverage their hardship with politics. These conditions in Gaza and the West Bank are deplorable for the Palestinian people and you seem to miss the fact that more needs to be done so that they don't turn to violence to express their pain. Israel is not doing enough. -

Can you give me an example of what you mean? I'm afraid that I do not understand what you mean.
<These conditions in Gaza and the West Bank are deplorable for the Palestinian people and you seem to miss the fact that more needs to be done so that they don't turn to violence to express their pain. Israel is not doing enough.>
Well, then they should do something to allow the Israelis to meet them half way. I don't really like the idea - especially Gaza - of doing anything to help Gaza when ANY assistance is just assisting Hamas to harm Israel. Israel is at war with Hamas, and would the Americans have helped the Germans in WWII? No, of course not. The 'government' of Gaza needs to take steps to allow the Israelis to feel safe about helping.
For instance, Israel is working with Abbas to allow them to put police into areas of the West Bank because Abbas has sworn to SECURE the area and not just have these police be another attacking force on Israel. THAT is what I would like to see......is that what you mean?

You used to be like me??? You don't know anything about me except that I call you out on your shit, the unbelievable loads of racist and bigoted shit that you consistently post here. You continue to excuse behaviors that are unacceptable when they are committed by settlers, you continue to try to convince this tribe how terrible the Palestinians are by posting negative articles about them from a blatantly pro settler rag, Arutz Sheva, and then you get pissed when you are outed. Well I don't believe for one second that you were ever like me, because you would NEVER condone the actions that you conveniently don't discuss here without making up excuses and lies.
You say on a soul level that you have no problems with anyone?? Bullshit, you have no soul or you wouldn't ignore the deplorable conditions that the Palestinians are living in!!! That is simply a lie that you're telling because it sounds good. Your actions show your truth. You want to tell ME what the big picture is??? Ha, you are so immersed into the lies that your rabid settler friends tell you that you don't realize that you are a major part of the exact problem that is blocking peace.
You enjoy diversity??? Bullshit. You constantly find reasons to excuse the second class status of the Palestinians and you create reasons to not compromise. If you enjoyed diversity you'd never accept what is happening, you would never allow yourself to be part of a movement that doesn't value any of the culture of the Palestinian people. If you enjoyed diversity you'd honor their culture and ways. You find reasons to hate them and to cause them harm.
Maybe in my liberal world?????? All you know about me is that I call you out for your hypocritical and racist bullshit. No a jew is not Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a place, it is property, it belongs to several religions and peoples. It is PROPERTY!!!!! You wanna define yourself by a piece of land?? Oh my god can you be a bit more shallow??? You can't be a good jew if you're a racist fuck, and you show yourself to be just that.
You are lying by saying that you believe in peace. I don't believe that for one second as you have shown to be completely against any kind of compromise and you even claim that the occupation that you are a part of is actually being committed by the Palestinians. Yeah, you want peace. Yehudi, you need to address your comments about Baruch Goldstein. After what you said about him you cannot convince anyone that you believe in peace. What you want is for the Palestinians to be removed from the land that you are claiming belongs to the Jews even though they have been living there longer than you have. What a contradiction that is. You weren't born there and you say that they are on your land. Fuckin bullshit insanity.
Yeah you sound sincere....but you are only fooling yourself. -

And if you really enjoyed diversity you wouldn't live in cloistered communities of people who are just like you.
See this is what happens when you are a hypocrite, you open yourself up and become vulnerable.
