OPERATION RICK JAMES Now Has Commenced!

[SE Mom]

Over here..

[Txsleuth]

I am coming and going on all of these threads...

Even CNN has stopped coverage...is there any channel covering this??

BTW..For some reason, I keep thinking of Ariel Sharon, lying in a coma, in some room...not having a clue about what is going on....

It also followed a landmark agreement Tuesday between Palestinian factions on an political initiative that implicitly recognises Israel's right to exist, a historic shift in policy by Hamas.


Guess AFP didn't do their homework, or maybe they just forgot to check eh? I mean they wouldn't lie to us , would they?

/sarc.

[Txsleuth]

That article says that the agreement between Hamas and Al Aksa, recognizing Israels right to exist was drawn up by "Palestinian prisoners">..that doesn't make sense...

[M. Dodge Thomas]

"Palestinian prisoners"

The original proposal was drafted by Palestinians held by Israel.

Well- not sure quite what to believe at this point- I heard Mike Tobin say on FOX there is now an apparent split between Hamas the "government" and Hamas the "organization"...not sure where that's going..

FOX did just break in to BOR for a couple of mins to cover it live...but I simply can't tolerate watching CNN.

I guess we'll have to wait til H & C comes on..

[Txsleuth]

I remember when those Palestinian terrorists broke into that church...and were holed up in there for days and days..

Fox was pretty much on 24/7...with Geraldo stationed there..

They USED to do that kind of stuff...not so much anymore....sigh

[BunnySlippers]

[SE Mom]

Yep...and Roger Ailes wants to know why FOX has lost viewer share. (So did all the others)

The thing is- they have Mike Tobin on the ground there- he's a good reporter- I'd really like to see the numbers if FOX let BOR go for the next 15 mins and just ran with live coverage...

BAD lightning here..going to shut down for a bit...bbl

Now I read that they DID NOT recognize Israel's right to exist...only the right to a Palestinian state! hmmph

Wipe out Hamas; and the terrorists there, take back the land. Go on into Lebanon and clean their clocks of all the Syrian slime. Then go into Syria and clean them out, and go thru Iraq and help our Troops take out the terrorists there. Then go into Iran and shove the Nuke down that idiot president's throat and then tie up the moolas and take them over to North Korea and tie them and the 'nut' to the missile and then lite a fire under it and count to three.....all in a days work....GO ISERAL

I like the way you think! :)

Naw. Neither would the following most conservative of anti-terrorist publications in another western European nation.

Hamas U-turn on Israel's right to exist
The Telegraph
By Tim Butcher in Gaza City
(Filed: 28/06/2006)

Excerpt:
With Israel threatening to re-invade Gaza, Hamas, the militant Palestinian movement, made a historic policy reversal yesterday when it signed up to an agreement implicitly recognising the right of the Jewish state to exist.

Hamas takes 'historic' step
The Scotsman
BEN LYNFIELD

Excerpt:
HAMAS yesterday took its biggest step yet towards recognising Israel by agreeing to a programme that calls for establishing a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip alongside the Jewish state, Palestinian officials said.

Israeli troops roll into Gaza
The Times Online
By Stephen Farrell and Ian MacKinnon

"The military moves came as Hamas executed a dramatic shift in policy to reach an agreement that implicitly recognises Israel."

But it doesn't surprise me at all.

"I keep thinking of Ariel Sharon, lying in a coma, in some room...not having a clue about what is going on.... "

Why am I suddenly reminded of Jimmy Carter?

[Starve The Beast]

Great. Lefties all over the world will decry this 'Zionist genocide', and the money will come pouring back into Hammas-lead Gaza. I sure hope that Israeli kid comes out of it OK, that's about the only silver lining we can hope for.

"""If we start with kidnappings, Israel has no problem entering the Gaza Strip and kidnapping half the Palestinian government," Benjamin Ben-Eliezer said. ""

I'll drink to that!

I like the way you think!
