#2 You have to be a special kind of stupid to lose all Hamas did in exchage for 1 kia and 30 injured.

They could have done better if they set up a food stand and served tainted meat on falafels. And made a few shekels in the bargain.

#4 Make Hamas step down.
Disarm.
Stop Shooting Kassams across the border.

Nah, that's too much intelectual effort for Muhammad, Ahmad and Abu Shkri to try and understand.

HUMANITARIAN TRAGEDY CONTINUES

End of Story

Kapisch Ahmad ???

#5 Uh, isn't this like Pres. Roosevelt saying he was concerned about violence oh somewhere around Christmas 1953 after we were hit in Pearl?

#6 BA, you're usually lucid, but I have no idea what you just said.

#7 I think he means something along the lines of... too little... way to late.... (since Perl was hit several years before '53)

OTOH I may have parsed that wrong......

#8 Apparently Abbas wants a international peacekeeping force on the Israeli border, like the Lebanon is supposed to get. Utter idiocy of course -- there'd be no Gaza left for the inhabitants -- but there it is. I s'pose he thinks he'll get a pliable bunch of tourists, like what they've had at the Egypt crosspoints.

#9 mcsegeek: CF nailed it. I was more going off the title, than the text itself. The might UN is just NOW sounding the alarm about violence? Should've done that in 1967 (or if you want to just include the latest attack by the Hezzies, it would be akin to Roosevelt announcing he was worried about the violence at Pearl, oh, say, almost a month after it occurred?). Timing is all I was gettin' at. Who knows, maybe Joe M. slipped some of his meds into the Atlanta drinking water system this morning.

#10 How typical that the UN should swallow terrorist atrocity camels whole whilst choking to death upon the gnats of Israeli defense.

#11 It's more and more obvious that the UN is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Israel needs to tell the UN it has 48 hours to get out of Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank. Anyone that's left will be considered a target. Then allow Israel to flatten both Gaza and the West bank until nothing is higher than a man's waist, and nothing human-made exists in one piece.
