That is good news. But, not being offensive to anyone, why do I get the feeling something will happen that will ruin all these talks as it has done so many times in the past?

Because history rhymes from time to time.

Don't get me wrong, this is good, but I hope it stays that way.

In that case you better hope the leaders on both sides believe peace is in their best interests.

History would suggest you don't put much money on it.

But we may benefit from the fact of America's current political situation leaves them where it is in their benefit to see this resolved. Possibly with a bit of political weight and the odd bit of foreign aid, the two can at least be convinced to start fixing the problem.

I want to hear the opinion of our resident Israeli on this. Actually, I'm surprised Sandwich hasn't posted here already....

Yes, it certainly is good news. The papers today were all reporting that Sharon has decided to repond to quiet with quiet (re: the targeted killings).

And Sderot residents had their first Katyusha-free Sabbath this past week in an undefined period of time that I missed hearing what it was, but apparently it was newsworthy. :)

Quassams Sandy, Hez'bollah fire Katyushas (actually Grads) occasionaly into northern Israel, Hamas/Fatah fire Quassams into Sderot. Difference is ones a 24 tube mlrs and ones a homemade rocket. If Sderot had been under bombardment from "katyushas" for any significent length of time there woulnd be a Sderot.

Oops, you're totally right, my bad. That's what I get for posting while under the influence of exhaustion at 1am. :p

Katyshkas are Russian built WWII era rocket artillery systems yes?  Can be mounted on tucks and the like?

I've seen them in IL-2 Sturmovik.  They make quite a fireshow in the game...

What kind of idiot runs through an off limits area towards the entrance of an army base packed with troopers and doesn’t even stop at warning shots!?! Maybe the same idiot whose family was being threatened by terrorists if he didn't.

I'm not saying that’s what happened but unless he was insane there had to be some pretty strong motivation to get him to give up his life... It wasn’t as if he was going to hurt anyone without a weapon and no bomb on him... :doubt:

What a waste of life.

The Palestinian, who was apparently unarmed, ran toward the entrance of an IDF base near Netzarim junction and did not stop when troops fired warning shots,


Oh! I forgot they are t3h 3v1l J3333WWWZZZZZ!!! 0MG1!1!!11!!!!one!!1!!1 of course they wouldn’t give warning shots they would just shoot cause its fun to spill someone else’s blood and it’s a national sport here right? :yes:

Now that you mentioned it; I haven’t filled out my quota for this week of dead moozlims! I’ll be right back. :rolleyes:
