When I stepped downstairs for lunch today, the cafeiteria (sp?) had the daily paper lying out, as usual. As I glanced through it while waiting for my food, I noticed that many of the pullout pictures were of settlers and soldiers, crying into each other's shoulders, standing arm-in-arm, etc. So far, very little of the savage resistance I'm sure the foreign media would be pleased to be able to cover.

Anyway, I couldn't find those exact pictures to show you guys, but I did find a little gallery with a few of those kinds of pictures on it.

Also, what else did you expect? :rolleyes:

You really couldn't expect anything else. They're morons, Sandwich. Moron's with ideas every bit as foolish as those of the settlers who chose to settle in the occupied territories, and the politicians that encouraged the settlers. Neither group seems to believe that there's any room for compromise.

A pretty comprehensive article about the situation in Gaza at the moment.

You know, I think these Jewish terrorists are even more insane than the Islamic ones; at least the Muslims have some sort of religious backing to their actions.

Don't want to seem assholistic, but they ARE religious extremist also, who are battling fot the Great Isreal. Not to say they're right, but simply as dumb as their palestinian counterpart.

IIRC they reckon there are 5000 "jewish extremeists".

Also, the BBC (again, IIRC) reported Jews on opposite sides were calling each other Nazis.

As terrible as it is to see anybody forced out of their home, this is something that really did have to be done and I'm quite happy that it's gone pretty smoothly so far... with a bit of luck and a bit of help from God, it'll stay that way.

Baby steps. It's the way to go.

I smell another Yitzhak Rabin. Hopefully not. Looking on from the outside, it seems to me that alot of people are very, very pissed. Or at least they're being very vocal about it.

In a way it's insidious what Sharon is doing.

Leaving Gaza is hardly going to damage Israel (afaik) but it might utterly destroy what is left of "Palestine" from within as they'll have to decide what they want to be now.
It came from outer space! What? Dunno, but it's going back on the next flight!

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

[religousrant] I think "WTF YOU DUMB ASSES!" @ Israle. Dammit Israle! Its YOUR land, keep it. I think they should use their army to slaughter all the palistinians and take their lands from them. The two disputed strips\peices of land (the west bank and gaza strip) ISRALE should take over and keep.
God gave them the land, its practially their birthright, and they give it up for peace? There will be no peace! They have given them permission to stay less then a mile away from them and bomb them when they feel like it, from now on.
Dispite that, i wonder what God is going to do about this, about Israle. Once again they disobeyed God. *Sigh*

Way back when, before they settled in israle, God said to destroy a bunch of groups of people, they did most but left some alive. Thus the palistinions. And they have plauged them ever after. Dumbasses'.[religousrant]
