That U.N. “school”

You can believe Al Reuters, which never stops shilling for the jihadis, when it says the school was a hiding place for refugees frightened from their homes. Or you can take the IDF’s word, which is that it was another Hamas ammo dump with an active mortar tube and rocket launcher. I’ve made my choice.

The Vile Cynthia McKinney

U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, a goggle-eyed Democrat harridan with a fright-wig hairdo, has always been pathetic to everyone except, apparently, the Georgians who keep sending her to Congress. Pity she does not sleep with the fishes today off Gaza. Unfortunately, the Israeli navy did not slice in two and sink but only damaged the boat she was using to aid Hamas, in a publicity stunt for her wellknown anti-Semitism. Funny how, whenever the terrorists are under attack, the anti-Semites, anti-democrats, and anti-Americans come out of the woodwork to fist-punch the air and otherwise support them. If only Hamas would take McKinney and her clones permanently.

UPDATE:  Ceasefire is in the daily’s headlines, put together last night although Israel had rejected the idea well before midnight. It comports with the frontpage picture yesterday of the handful of Hamas-supporting protestors outside the Texas capitol. Dead Jews aren’t news, as Ralph Peters says, only besieged terrorists. Meanwhile the local Jewish Community Assoc. sent out an email of moral support while cautioning that, in times like these, "anti-Jewish attitudes, expressions and activity [bring] an added risk to Jewish communal institutions."

Setup

Terrorist group Hamas turns Carter away from Gaza’s gate? I think I can tell a setup when I see one.

UPDATE  I figured they’d make a show of letting him in, afterall, but they didn’t. In fact, he got little Israeli coverage, either. Go build houses, Jimmy. At least you look good doing that.

Gaza vs Hamburg

Readers over at Simply Jews are debating what Isaelis should do about the continued rocket bombardment from Gaza. The usual and, I think, easy, high-mindedness is in evidence–Jews don’t stoop to the level of the enemy–as well as realism that nothing will change until the cooperating Gazan civilians, young and old, pay a price along with the masked gunmen of Hamas. I side with the realists, just as did the so-called Greatest Generation–at Hamburg, Dresden, Yokohama, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as Bret Stephens relates. High-mindedness is good, but the cost of keeping your conscience clear will be the certain deaths and cripplings of young soldiers who would no more lob rockets at a daycare center than strap on a bomb belt and detonate themselves in a crowded supermarket. Ethics in warfare have to be situational, as Stephens also seems to be saying, and the deciding factor must be the probable results. In Gaza, that would be an end to the rockets and, quite possibly, something approaching the German and Japanese surrender.

Tomato response

I’m well behind the times on this one, but one thing or another kept me from getting it posted until now. It’s still worth it–the proportionate Israeli (civilian) response to the rockets of Hamas:

"The group used a projectile-launcher built by Yahav Michaeli – a stunts and pyrotechnics expert – to lob organic eggs and vegetables towards Beit Hanoun."

Tomatoes, corn, etc. I’m still of the opinion they should get really humiliating and launch old shoes at the Palestinian bullyboys, but am told that would merely damage the vegetable cannon. Eggs and vegetables make more sense than Condi’s recent effort to appease the Saudis by establishing a new terrorist state.

That peace prize

Tinkerty Tonk notes the recent Palestinian sacking of Arafat’s belongings, including his Nobel Peace Prize. She’s right. The world’s oldest terrorist won’t miss it. He’d probably even be pleased to hear that it will fetch enough money to buy some more explosives, ammo, etc. The usual Palestinian goods.

Rocket rain

Under the rocket rain from Hamas. Scroll down to the video clip where one turns a neighbor’s house in Sderot into a fireball.

Snoopy The Goon goes over the options and finds none of them good. Maybe it’s time to bring carpet bombing back into vogue? It worked for the Greatest Generation and they’re still getting good notices.
