News from Gaza Part 2

[disease]

Right, what I mean is, Israel coerced the situation into existence - you could think they almost wanted Hamas - a known terrorist group - to get elected.

[S.A.M.]

I don't see what the problem is with Hamas getting elected. I would like to know why Israel did not accept the Hamas offer for a state in the 1967 borders

Since 2001, Palestinians have shot more than 7,000 Kassam rockets into Sderot, a mile from Gaza. When you hear the "red alarm," you have barely 15 seconds to get to an air-raid shelter. Some days the alarm sounds 20 times or more.

That is from Gaza alone.

The people of Sderot - indeed, all of Israel - expected the terror to end when Israel withdrew all of its military and civilians from Gaza in summer '05, handing the territory to the Palestinian Authority. Yet the rockets kept coming, with barely a pause.

And once Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections in January 2006, they increased. The situation has worsened since Hamas seized total control of Gaza in a bloody coup against Fatah last year.

"The entire population of Sderot is traumatized," says an Israeli officer, standing before the remains of more than 2,000 rockets stacked behind the police station.

In this fantasy, there is no occupation, no blockade of food, water, fuel, no assassinations, no military insurgencies and no 5000 Palestinians killed by Israelis since the last 7 years.

In this fantasy, there is no occupation, no blockade of food, water, fuel, no assassinations, no military insurgencies and no 5000 Palestinians killed by Israelis since the last 7 years.

In your fantasy, there are no dead Israeli Children, No dead Israeli civilians no continuous daily attacks against Israeli Towns, there weren't 8,000+ rockets and mortars launched against Israel in the last 7 years.

The vicissitudes of occupation.

The vicissitudes of occupation.

The vicissitude of peace.

[S.A.M.]

I suppose you refer to the native Americans. Crush the occupied until their spirit is broken.

Same old tired SAM, can't win on facts so we go the dead history route.

Remember SAM I am Blood Brother to the Objibwa, Bear Clan, the Lodge of Sundee.

Peace has long come between our peoples, I would suggest the same for Hamas.

[S.A.M.]

Remember SAM I am Blood Brother to the Objibwa, Bear Clan, the Lodge of Sundee.

Does that change the fact that the native American spirit has been crushed?

[Buffalo Roam]

Does that change the fact that the native American spirit has been crushed?

And who told you that? Some Imam?

Get up to date, I live here, 24/7/365, and you are grossly misinformed.

I have far more contact and friends in the Native American Community that you do, and I dare you to come here and tell them that their Spirit is Broken and Crushed.

I was proud at the Last Pow Wow. at all the Eagle Feathers awarded to the returning Warriors, from Iraq and Afghanistan, Proud, Tall, Men, Warriors, and they don't need to Kiss your ass or anyone else's to be Proud.

So frigging grow up and see the new day, you ain't it.



May 16, 2008 - Keshena, Wis. -- Menominee veteran Dana Rockman, 31, unfolds the flag of a soldier killed in combat with fellow Menominee Jerome Teller during a memorial service for fallen soldiers at the start of the Menominee Veteran's Pow-Wow in Keshena.

Vince Crow, 17, soaks in the spectacle of the Menominee Nation’s Gathering of Warriors. His grandfather served in World War II, his uncle in Desert Storm. Crow thinks he, too, may enlist.

“It’s a way to show pride,’’ Crow says. “Pride for your family. Pride for your heritage. Pride for your nation. It just kind of goes along with our ancestry. Instead of protecting a village, you’re protecting a country.”

Yeah, I can see how clinging to 400 year old costumes shows their spirit. Thats exactly how you identify a thriving culture.

yeah. want to take that away from them?

[Buffalo Roam]

No, you are the one who wants to take that away from them, again come here as say that to their face, I dare you.

[iceaura]

Yeah, I can see how clinging to 400 year old costumes shows their spirit. Thats exactly how you identify a thriving culture.

It's one of the common features of an uncrushed culture.

Just call them hijabs, if you need a landmark. But you don't have to wear them every time you walk out the front door. And there is no pressure to make everyone wear them.

As far as the Reds, you are talking about cultures that lost more than 4/5 of their populations to epidemics, among other factors. Most of the Red cultures are not only crushed, but completely vanished. The more resilient or luckier ones have earned a certain pride.

SAM is sleeping. Check back in six hours.

Yes SAM tell that to a Cheyanne Dog Soldier:

On topic, the text of an apparently unauthorized Security Council Resolution regarding the Gaza invasion: http://jewssansfrontieres.blogspot.c...lution-on.html

The Security Council,

Recalling that Israel reiterated its commitment to not build gas chambers and not burn Palestinians in ovens

Recalling that Israel is a country governed by white people elected with lots of money, has a stock exchange and a healthy derivatives market, and has a really nice beach

Calculating that the replacement cost of a Palestinian is about 1:35 compared to the replacement cost of an Israeli in Purchasing Power Parity

Emphasizing that Israelis have many rich American friends

Noting that Hamas has the guttural sound H in its name that we find hard to pronounce

Expressing that Palestinian demands for self-determination are annoying

Mindful of the fact that civilians have been killed by Israel, but not enough to spoil our appetite

Taking into consideration that Israel has killed at least some adult men with beards

Warning against other peoples democratically electing the wrong people


Calls upon Israel to finish killing Palestinians at its earliest convenience, at least for a while

Insists that no more than 80 civilians should be killed each day, except on Thursdays

Calls upon all member states to help prevent Hamas from pronouncing its name on TV between 8AM and 10PM

Calls upon all member states to help seal the Gaza strip in shrink wrap material to prevent the illegal acquisition of slingshots by Palestinians

Invites ideas for disposing of the shrink wrapped Gaza strip in an environmentally responsible way

[S.A.M.]

Noting that Hamas has the guttural sound H in its name that we find hard to pronounce

Ah yes, the voiceless pharyngeal fricative.
