Of course this type of retaliation does nothing to end the hate...so there will be a perpetual exchange of retaliation for as long as we can see in the future.


Someone will blow the secret and tell the Israelies who the new leader of Hamas is.As I said before the palestinians are in this struggle thanks to the extremists terrorists that haved not helped their cause for a separated state from Israel.

Luis,

You don't understand what Hamas is demanding...their stated goal is to reclaim "Palestine" from the Jordan River to the sea, and leave no Jew alive in the process. They consider Israel to be a state that was "forced" on them by the Balfour Declaration (1917) and enforced by the United Nations in 1948. They are also painfully aware that the United States was the very first country to recognize the State of Israel, and in many ways see it as the "fifty-first State" of the U.S.

And, they are willing to sacrifice whatever, or whoever, to kill every Jewish man, woman and child in order to "reclaim what is rightfully theirs".

Can you say "genocide"?

Actually, somebody (it might have been Israeli radio...I don't remember for sure) has reported the name of the new leader of Hamas. He is supposedly staying underground though with all the rest of the higher ups.

Anyone remember seeing or hearing about a movie called "Wanted Dead Or Alive" starring Rutger Hauer and Gene Simmons ...

There was a line in that movie where Gene Simmons (who played the head terrorist) said "I am a not a terrorist, I am a soldier...I deserve to die like a soldier" ...

Rutger hauer replied back, "No ... you're a fly on a pile of ****", and shoved a hand grenade in his mouth.

Terrorists has always been the wrong word for these people, they want to try to inspire terror so this is playing to their wishes. They are cowards, bumblers and stumblers in any convention warfare sense, wearing thier insipid little cloths over their faces, kidnapping non-combantants, inspiring not terror but revulsion.
