Oh Hell Yeah!

[ConservativeMan55]

"Israeli Yaacov Fauci, a member of the extremist Jewish Kahane group drinks whiskey."

So this guy's supposed to be an extremist? And Yasin was a moderate? How stupid does the press think we are?

[inkling]

Mazel tov, my friend!

To the modern Marxist media, anyone who argues for the rule of law and authority is an extremist. Of course, were the Marxist "useless idiots" to succeed in obtaining power for their masters, they would soon see plenty of "law and authority" coming their way.

[H2dude]

I wonder how the Israeli wiskey is

cant compare, I suppose, with good SE US or single malt scotch from the islands, but nonetheless, I suppose it depends what you're toasting, which in this case seems to be a good thing.

I cant help but think, however, that the Israeli army is a bunch of pussies, straight up, for having to use a helicopter gunship to murder and old man in a wheelchair, rather than just send some operatives to shoot his a**, if their intent is to take him out

good move, bad PR

[bogdanPolska12]

Get ready guys. This bunch of murders will try to attack USA again. I hope they won't. If they think that Americans will let them get away with it -- they better get the hell out from USA same goes to Poland.

This fight is till the end. No more bs. If they try to do something -- hit them so hard, they will wish that they have new colon.

We will hit them so hard their turbans will be knock out.

[freebilly]

Hey, if the Israelis kill Arafat that would turn the entire Arab world against Israel, and the UN would strongly condemn the action.

Uh..., wait..., I mean....

[Theresawithanh]

If the Pali's (and others) can dance in the street at America's 9-1-1, people sure ought to be able to celebrate the death of this murderous man!

As a previous poster said, Mazel Tov!

[Reactionary]

By g-d, I had a drink in celebration myself.

And I'm not even Jewish.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Pffft. He doesn't look as extreme as this guy:

It does not Matter what the Israel Bashers Now Say
By Steven Plaut


It does not Matter what the Israel Bashers Now Say

And it does not matter that it is much too little and much too late.

It does not matter that the anti-Semitic scum of the world is already
whining that the assassination of the Bloody Sheikh, the genocidal
Yassin, was "illegal" and an "obstacle" to peace. Any peace for
which the killing of Yassin is an "obstacle" is one that should be
prevented at all costs.

It does not matter that Israeli leftists, including Avraham Poraz from
the Shinui party, are already denouncing the killing of the sheikh and
would no doubt also denounce a targeted assassination of Hitler had they
been alive in 1943, or the targeted assassination of Haman.

It does not matter that the Sharon people are already trying to offset
the international heat by expounding the new "goodwill gestures"
they hope to make to appease Arafat and his stormtroopers. Gaza was the
Biblical military center of the Philistines, and Sharon is officially
pledged to recreating a center for Philistine barbarism there.

It does not matter that all those do-gooders and bleeding hearts now
caterwauling about Israel's "provocation" have long forgotten that
under Oslo it was the legal obligation of the PLO itself to assassinate
Sheikh Yassin, and that it was only in exchange for such an obligation
that Yossi Beilin and his sandbox crew promised to turn the West Bank
and Gaza over to the PLO in the first place.

It does not matter that even as Arafat is screaming his love for the
genocidal sheikh and proclaiming official PLO support for this his
beloved comrade in arms and for Yassin's program of genocide, the Left
is denouncing Israel's "act of terrorism".

It does not matter that Ariel Sharon showed cowardice in not also
mowing down the Hamas "mourners" marching in the Bloody Sheikh's
funeral procession.

It does not matter that the same people screaming how inhumane it was
for Israel to kill the mass murderer who happened to be confined to a
wheelchair never had anything to say about the Palestinian terrorists
tossing Leon Klinghoffer overboard.

It does not matter that the British Foreign Minister thinks
assassinating the nazi sheikh was an awful provocation, but cheered to
the skies when the sons of Saddam Hussein were dispatched and their
photos splashed on the network screens.

It does not matter that the media will quickly revert to its position
that Israel must be prevented from undertaking any action against
terrorism besides total capitulation.

It does not matter that this was the first act in well over a decade by
Israel that gave some credence to the slogan of "Never Again", a
decade otherwise characterized by craven cowardice and appeasement.

It does not matter that the same Bush administration and US media who
spent the weekend cheering because they thought the number two al-Qaida
leader had been killed in Pakistan are now suddenly all squeamish about
the killing of Arab Islamofascist terrorist leaders.

It does not matter that the Israeli political establishment is
maintaining a blind eye to the open identification with the Hamas and
its leaders by so many Israeli Arabs.

It does not even matter that Israeli super-comic Eli Yatzpen, well
known for his impression of the nazi sheikh, will now need to come up
with some new material.

It does not matter that Israel's Tenured Traitors are already turning
out their Op-Eds for the world newspapers who lease their services in
order to denounce Israel's "crime".

It does not matter that Yassin should have been killed decades ago and
that he would have been vaporized last year had not Ariel Sharon feared
using a heavy-enough bomb, one that might have produced "collateral
damages".

It does not matter that some Israeli Far Leftists were already
endorsing "negotiations" with the Hamas and so will now declare that
Israel has lost a golden opportunity to make peace.

Gaza is where the injured Samson took his revenge on the
barbarians.

The world politicians and the media may be bewailing this
uncharacteristic manifestation of Israeli courage. Let them. For, you
see, the very best commentary on the effects of the assassination of
this nazi sheikh is not on the BBC nor on CNN nor in the NY Times. The
best commentary is Chapter 15 of Exodus:

The Nations have heard of it and are enraged,
Panic and shuddering have seized the denizens of Philistine Gaza,
The leaders of Edom are frightened, while the champions of Moab
tremble,
And the courage of the pagan Canaanites melts away.
Fear and Panic have fallen upon them.
For Your might arm crushes them like a stone, while Your people
proceed ahead.

2. YASSIN EMBRACED AS MARTYR BY ARAFAT, MUCH LIKE JOGGER KHOURI
By Michael Widlanski 22 March 2004
Yasser Arafat's Palestinian National Authority publicly embraced the
slain Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, leader of the HAMAS movement, as a "brother
warrior," following his fiery death by helicopter-borne Israeli
missiles.

"So this guy's supposed to be an extremist? And Yasin was a moderate? How stupid does the press think we are?"

Jews who want the Palestinians to leave are extremists; moderate Palestinians just want Israel wiped off the face of the earth and all Jews dead.

[sport]

I am not an Israeli, but I join him in the toast.

[Arkinsaw]

I cant help but think, however, that the Israeli army is a bunch of pussies, straight up, for having to use a helicopter gunship to murder and old man in a wheelchair, rather than just send some operatives to shoot his a**, if their intent is to take him out

Sounds like the old "Americans are cowards cause they bomb from 30,000 feet" propaganda. Perhaps you would like to be assigned a terrorist to take out in hand to hand combat in downtown Gaza? That pussy helicopter might look like an appropriate option if it were you.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Hahaha. The more I look at the picture the funnier calling him an extremist gets. Some extremist!

[freebilly]

We will hit them so hard their turbans will be knock out.

Now this turban is a knock-out....
