Palestinian civil war

[Morgeruat]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070620/...l_palestinians Israeli aircraft fired missiles at two rocket launchers in northern Gaza, in the first aerial attack on the strip since Hamas vanquished the rival Fatah of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. No injuries were reported in the strike, which came in retaliation for militant rocket fire on Israel. Israeli tanks, meanwhile, rolled about 600 yards inside southern Gaza before dawn, and four militants were killed in a gunbattle, Palestinian hospital officials said. Hamas and the allied Popular Resistance Committees said gunmen fired on undercover troops, prompting the army to send six tanks, two armored personnel carriers and a bulldozer to the area. The army said the entrance of the troops had been planned, was not a broad operation, and was meant to counter militant activity, including arms smuggling. In the West Bank, two Palestinian militants were killed in a predawn shootout with Israeli troops on an arrest raid on a house near Jenin, residents said. One was a local commander from the Islamic Jihad militant group and the other a local commander from a violent offshoot of Fatah. The army said armed men opened fire from the house on troops, who shot back, killing two militants. Mahmoud Zahar, the man widely believed to be leading Gaza's new Hamas rulers said his group was open to a cease-fire with Israel if the army halts its activities there and in the West Bank. He said Hamas was capable of halting the frequent rocket attacks out of Gaza.

Also known as a Hudna, a temporary treaty while you build up strength for another assault.

In case it's escaped you and you're missing the forest because you live in the trees, it's people who suffer dire straits that do such stupid, illogical things to themselves. And your people are somewhere between 40% and 85% and fault for their suffering. So, you're sitting there laughing watching the rewards of a situation you created. You're like the evil conniving Jew the Palestinians depict in their editorial cartoon. I attend annual meetings for the Jewish United Fund, and I'll tell you that the specimens of humanity exhibited by many of your countrymen is far in excess of your own. No one doubts that your people live in a difficult circumstance, but whether they say it or not no one doubts that it's in large part your own doing. And you acting like an R-tard doesn't help our impression.

Thar's a world of difference between genocide at the hands of another and mass suicide by their own hands. Ya gotsta remember them thar Palestinians(sp?) are the most peace loving people that ever walked the face of the Earth.

I thunk I wrote a couple of years ago when Yassy went to collect his virgins it wouldn't be to long before they were at each others thoats. Face it folks there are some people that just like to fight and kill each other. It ain't nice and it ain't pretty it is just the way it is.

TL you ever read the History of the M.E.? They've been killing each other for nearly 5,000 years the State of Israel has been around since 1948. I ain't a math wiz but som'tin tells me 2007 - 1948 isn't 5,000 years. Maybe that is the new math I don't know.
