| 2011-08-21 |
| (KUNA) -- Paleostinian Izz Eddin Al-Qassam, the military wing of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, grabbed credit on Saturday for launching four Grad missiles on Israeli settlement town of Ovakim, injuring several Israelis. The Paleostinian wing said in a statement that their fighters launched the four missiles in response to Israeli repeated crimes and aggression, which resulted in killing 15 Paleostinians and injuring dozens others in the past 24 hours. The group added that it "asserts its readiness to respond to Israeli aggression and idiocy using all means they have." The missile attack is the first response by Hamas since Israeli military began a military campaign two days ago. Israeli military front man said one of the missiles directly targeted a house, injuring several Israelis. Meanwhile, ...back at the secret hideout, Scarface Al sneeringly put his proposition to little Nell... Paleostinian Salah Eddin Brigades, the military wing of the Paleostinian Popular Resistance Group, grabbed credit for attacking Israeli southern city of Ashkolon, with six Grad missiles. The Brigades said, in a separate statement, that their artillery group was able to launch two Grad missiles at Israeli occupied Be'r Al-Sabe'. In another statement, the Brigades said they fired three missiles of the same type targeting the same city, noting that their group returned to their base safely. On another front, Paleostinian Al-Quds Battalions, the military wing of Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Mohammedan Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the liquidation of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... said that they fired two missiles at Israeli city Kiryat Malakhi. The group said in a statement that their fighters fired at an Israeli military base with also five mortar rounds. Islamic Jihad said their attack comes in response to Israeli repeated crimes and aggression in Gazoo Strip. |

| #13 The Paleos have been too clever by half with upgrading their missile systems. When they were blindly launching their homemade bottle rockets into the desert, the main impact was the PR value, something the Israelis could essentially ignore. Better systems means actually damaging their targets, a sure fire (heh) way to provoke the wrath of the IDF. |

| #12 The Chinese own 10% of the US debt. The Brazilians own maybe a percent less. They haven't said anything. Then again, Brazil isn't a Han-dominated nation (yet) with imperial ambitions. |

| #10 Hurray for massacring civilians! History shows that always works! Just like in Syria! You win the cunt of the day award, Mikey Hunt. Actually, it worked for Hafez Assad. Of course, he killed ten times the number of people. The PLA seemed to have suppressed counter-revolutionary activity pretty effectively via the massacre of over a million landlords right after their victory in 1949. 60 years later, the Chinese army is still called the PLA, and rulers of China are the direct descendants of those who ordered and carried out the massacre. |

| #5 ...Myself, I'm thinkin' that the Paleostinians are under a lotta pressure from Hezbollah and the Iranians to start something serious with the Israelis so as to keep them out of any action against Syria. The trouble is that the Paleos know they'll get their butts handed to them if they do, so it might not get much worse than this. Mike |

| #3 The security cabinet in Israel has said several times that there is no desire for a Cast Lead 2. There is consensus for an extended aerial campaign hitting 3 or 4 targets per day. Similarly, it is thought that Hamas which could launch about 10-20 longer range rockets/day (200+ short range) does not want to provoke a Cast Lead 2 either. In fact there is some suspicion that Hamas would welcome enough Israeli strikes to wipe out the PRC military wing. btw, Salah Eddin means "rightness of the believers" or something similar. |

| #2 One word solution = DAISYCUTTERS Drop a few near the border area where the rockets are coming from, and tell 'em if even one more rocket lands in Israel a daisycutter an hour will be dropped on their civilian population centers. Put a stop to these rockets real quick. Let the liberals f**ks and Israel haterz whine. They are going to anyhow. So give 'em something to whine about. |

| #1 Time for another Israeli incursion into Gaza, which, following massive rocket attacks in 2008, stabilized the situation for three years. |
