The Telegraph: “They said that after the Israeli army first took the town on Saturday night soldiers had ordered about 100 members of the clan to gather in a single house owned by Wael Samouni around dawn on Sunday. At 6.35am on Monday the house was repeatedly shelled with appalling loss of civilian life. A handful of survivors, some wounded, others carrying dead or dying infants, made it on foot to Gaza’s main north-south road before they were given lifts to hospital. Three small children were buried in Gaza City that afternoon. According to the survivors between 60 and 70 family members had been killed by shrapnel and falling masonry.” [This is Israeli policy of punishing Palestinians for voting for Hamas. This is Zionism.] (thanx for the link Iraj)

What a beautiful state.
“Cheering”, but not “celebrating” death and destruction:

I still am getting a kick out of when Arash tried to distinguish between cheering and celebrating. of course, when exposed, he dissappeared back into his cave, likely so he could make up some more things about the 1973 war. Like father, like son…
Correction iPouya: Israel’s military operation is punishment for thousands of Hamas rockets fired at Israeli towns in the southern Negev.
So please, people, let’s get a little realistic here. What would your response be to the rocket attacks? Let’s say Israel lifted the blockade of Gaza and released all its prisoners back to Gaza, and then Hamas continued to fire rockets at Israel… what then should Israel do? Just hang out and not do anything?
Its wonderful to watch JZ descend into hypothetical, fantasy land that has nothing to do with the past or present. So you want us to address a hypothetical, theoretical, fabricated, false situation about what Isreal “should” do? Why, are you afraid of REALITY?
Why our school system has failed us:
This is from Arash the fatty:
“get rid of Jews from their inheritance and annihilate them from their own land. ”
Arash, please, Im worried the English language will never be able to recover from the sheer amount garbage that has been spewed from you illiterate mouth. (PS. there is a reason you are where you are)

Dear JZ:

“THE BLOCKADE – Israel’s blockade of the strip, with the support of the United States and the European Union, has grown increasingly stringent since Hamas won the Palestinian Legislative Council elections in January 2006. Fuel, electricity, imports, exports and the movement of people in and out of the Strip have been slowly choked off, leading to life-threatening problems of sanitation, health, water supply and transportation.
The blockade has subjected many to unemployment, penury and malnutrition. This amounts to the collective punishment — with the tacit support of the United States — of a civilian population for exercising its democratic rights.
“THE CEASE-FIRE – Lifting the blockade, along with a cessation of rocket fire, was one of the key terms of the June cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. This accord led to a reduction in rockets fired from Gaza from hundreds in May and June to a total of less than 20 in the subsequent four months (according to Israeli government figures). The cease-fire broke down when Israeli forces launched major air and ground attacks in early November; six Hamas operatives were reported killed.

Pouya, why are you talking about what actually happened? Doesnt it make more sense to make up a theoretical, non-existent situation, and then ask what the Palestinians should do THEN?
seeeeeeeeeeeriously. why am I even bothering? I don’t know.
