“Iran to send aid cargo to the Gaza Strip”
By Parisa Hafezi
Saturday, 27 December 2008
ARTICLE SNIPEPT: “Iran will send its first ship carrying aid today to the Gaza Strip despite an Israeli naval blockade of the Hamas-controlled territory, state television reported.”
Graduation ceremony? That graduation ceremony wasn’t for a class of school kids, it was for a class of Hamas thugs who had just completed their curricula for learning how to kill Jews in particular and infidels in general. I’d say the IAF targeted the right opportunity for maximum effect.
Isn't that part of the fun in a parody of liberal thought? They are so far out in left field (okay, far left field) that it's nearly impossible to be sure whether someone spouting the Democrat party line is a true believer or just making fun of western socialism.
BTW, I'm expecting a NYT or WaPost article on how these Israeli missiles will somehow contribute to global warming too.
This is even better than injuring them and having them absorbed by Egypt... if the turn over of the "leadership" is quick enough.

fyi - Ashdod is almost halfway between Gaza and Tel Aviv - if Hamas has rockets that can hit in Ashdod, as reported, then this is a signifcant increase in their capabilities
