Palestinian Rockets hit Israel, and break truce already

[ZetaNine]

reason #245 why you simply cannot negotiate with these people....they cannot even control themselves...


JERUSALEM - Police say three Palestinian rockets have hit southern Israel and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office says the cease-fire that took effect last week has been broken.

Islamic Jihad militants in the Gaza Strip says they carried out the attack to avenge an Israeli military raid that killed one of their fighters in the West Bank early Tuesday.

Israel's national rescue service says two people were lightly wounded in the rocket barrage.

The West Bank is not formally part of the truce. But Islamic Jihad says it "cannot keep its hands tied" when its "brothers" in the West Bank are being targeted.

However, the Gaza Strip's ruling Hamas group says it remains committed to the truce.

Israeli troops killed two Palestinians in the West Bank raid.

And when the Israelis respond with a gunship attack, the whole world will scream bloody murder.

Those poor, poor, noble arabs. They just can't get a fair shake in this cruel world.

[SpazMan]

That's what happens when you deal with people that have no honor.....

I recently watched a movie called "Death in Gaza".  It is a documentary film made a few years ago. All I have to say is God Bless America, the cluster**** they have going on over there will never end.  Pretty sad when you have 9 year old boys who are lining up to be martyrs and no shortage of adults willing to strap explosives on them and send them to their deaths.  Disgusting.

Anyone who thought this truce would last more than a week probably thought Michael Jackson's marriage to that Presley girl would last forever.

The arabs play a game that Israel cannot, and that is the game of public relations. They can always strike from a position of inferiority, they can always make themselves out to be the down-trodden, the weak, the innocent fighting off the well-equipped aggressor--even when they sneak around and initiate the fighting. Israel must either take it and do nothing, or fight back and face criticism. A few photos of Palestinian shanty-towns and you get hordes of neo-hippies singing cumbaya for the poor little suicide bombers.

It's the same game the US plays, and with the same outcome. If it wasn't for the United European/Scandinavian Emirates pointing their collective finger and screaming Zionist, or the hordes of Northern Californian Armpit-braiders with their Israel = Hitler bumper stickers, this habit of grasping at global sympathy would have been silenced long ago.

I know, shocking right?  I couldn't figure out if it was the young boys...or the young boys.

LOL

I've never seen these bumper stickers, but don't doubt their existence.

Oh dont be naive.

This was Israel's plan all along, it was blatantly obvious the Palestinians wouldnt be able to control every faction concerned and the ceasefire would be broken.  Now the Israeli's will whinge and moan at Egypt in an attempt to get the Egpytians to actually do something about the arms smuggling.

Yeah.. those sneaky Israelis. Faking like they really wanted a truce just so they could get some pity press.

That has to be it.

That has to be it. 

Even if they did fake it, given the level of success negotiating with the arabs has brought in the past, I wouldn't blame them a bit. There comes a time when it's justifiable to use your enemy's completely reliable dependance on treachery to forward your own goals.

At the end of the day, it's still the Arabs who fired the first shots. Had they not, this truce would have fulfilled its function directly.

Who broke the truce exactly?

Israel has negotiated peace agreements with two of its neighbours, Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994. Both agreements have held.

it's "exactly" stipulated in the article....please read the part you intentionally omitted.  thanks.

The West Bank is not formally part of the truce.

then again........perhaps that misconstruing the agreement is par for the course for these people... who collectively ... and by choice....have not offered an education to thier own people for the last three generations. they prefer to teach hate and bomb making 101 to their children...from the crib.  this is what corrupt leaders bring........
