Schlock And Awe

Gaza: in a ragged strip of land 28 miles long and 7 miles wide there live 1.4 million deranged creatures who can best be described as the pond scum in the human gene pool. They inhabit an area about twice the size of Washington, DC. No other country wants them, including Arab countries. They contribute absolutely nothing to human society except violence, bloodshed, hatred and conflict. They cannot support themselves and are an economic drain on the rest of the world. What little money they can beg and borrow from other countries is mostly spent on bombs, rockets and guns while the majority of the population is left to live in poverty and starvation by their leaders. They claim to be victims. That is the biggest lie in human history.

The humane thing to do would be for Israel to line up the bulldozers and tanks and slowly push them into the sea. It would not be genocide but rather euthanasia - putting them out of our misery. Do I shock you with that solution? Don’t worry. It shocks me too. It shocks me that the world has allowed the situation to come down to this. It bothers me that I would even contemplate such an act. Then I think - “what if the situation were reversed”? What if the Palestinians held most of the land with a large army and the Israelis were trying to survive in Gaza. What do you think would happen then?

If you guessed that the Jews would be swimming with the fishes, you are entirely correct. There is no doubt whatsoever about that. For nearly sixty years, the Arab states in the region surrounding Israel have tried to do exactly that. They have never tried to hide their intentions in that regard. War after war and an unending wave of suicide bombers have made it abundantly clear.

So what’s to stop the Israelis from drowning the Palestinian rats and fumigating the countryside? Humanity. Decency. Compassion. All things that their enemies have never shown them. When will it end? The sad answer is that it will never end ... until one group or the other is drowning in the sea. Let’s hope there’s a lifeguard on duty somewhere ...

Israel Keeps Up Pressure On Gaza
Palestinian officials held; settler’s body found

JERUSALEM (CNN)—Striking from the air, land and the sea, Israeli forces Thursday fired on Gaza in the midst of intensified clashes with Palestinian militants who have been holding an Israeli soldier captive for four days, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Israel’s navy pounded northern Gaza, firing from the eastern Mediterranean Sea, while Israeli aircraft hit targets in the north and the south. IDF tanks joined in the barrage. The strikes came as Israeli security forces overnight arrested 64 Palestinians in the West Bank, suspected of being involved in terrorist activities, the Israeli army said.

Palestinian sources said those arrested included dozens of lawmakers from the ruling Palestinian party Hamas. Those arrested were not taken into custody as a bargaining chip for Cpl. Gilad Shalit’s release, the army said. The raids came amid word that a body found early Thursday near Ramallah was that of Eliyahu Yitzhak Asheri, 18, a West Bank settler seized by Palestinian militants hours after Shalit was kidnapped early Sunday, Israeli security sources.

The troops moved back into Gaza early Wednesday, and the operation continued Thursday with Israeli aircraft hitting targets in Khan Yunis in the south and in Gaza City to the north. Israeli intelligence indicates Shalit is being held in the Khan Yunis refugee camp. IDF distributed fliers in Beit Hanoun, Khan Yunis and the Sajaiyeh neighborhood of Gaza City, warning that the Israeli army is operating in the area for an unknown period of time in order to bring Shalit home.

Israeli tanks could be seen firing into the area as dusk fell. An Israeli airstrike in Khan Yunis targeted what the Israeli military said was a storehouse for Qassam rockets. Israeli warplanes have knocked out bridges connecting northern and southern Gaza and destroyed a power station in an effort to prevent militants from moving the captured soldier outside southern Gaza, according to the IDF.

Wednesday evening, Israeli jets buzzed the home of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Ladekye, outside Damascus. Israeli television reported that the president was at home at the time. Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres complained that Syria allowed the exiled Hamas political leader Khalid Meshaal—operating out of Damascus—to order the kidnapping of the Israeli corporal. The flyover was seen as an attempt to bring pressure on al-Assad to rein in Meshaal.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
