Chaos in Gaza as Israel's strikes continue
My Way ^ | 28 Dec 08 | IBRAHIM BARZAK

Posted on 12/28/2008 8:16:38 PM PST by SkyPilot

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Terrified prisoners fled a Gaza City jail bombed by Israeli warplanes on Sunday, their faces white with dust and red with blood as they stumbled over huge piles of rubble.

Across the territory, grieving families pitched traditional mourning tents of green tarp outside the homes. Yet the rows of chairs inside these tents remained largely empty, as residents cowered indoors for fear of new Israeli strikes. Plumes of gray smoke rising into the sky marked the site of the latest Israeli attacks.

Even for war-weary Gazans, who've lived through countless Israeli incursions, air attacks and months of bitter Palestinian infighting, the latest surprise Israeli air offensive was unusually traumatic. In all, more than 290 people - most of them Hamas policemen, but also 20 children - were killed in some 300 Israeli air attacks over two days.

When you hide behind women and children it is on you.

Come and meet Israel on open field with uniforms on, you cowards.

How DARE anyone blame Israel for protecting herself.

Certainly this was not a surprise attack. Hamas was firing rockets at Israelis. They knew what was going to happen.

I guess you Pali’s and Hamas idiots should have thought of that before you started sending rockets into Israel MONTHS AGO. We know who broke the Cease fire, and I believe that ISRAEL is showing the Patience of JOB... they shoulda NUKED your butts years ago.

Hamas may be in deep trouble this time. Their pals in the western “media” are all at the Marine gym in Hawaii working out with Barack the Kenyan. The anti-Israel propaganda is going to be hard to come by until they get back.

Israeli strikes hit a new series of targets on Sunday: a fuel tanker, a Hamas television station, smuggling tunnels and a central prison in a main Hamas security compound.

Gotta luv them Israelis!

Any article that starts like this is crap:

(AP) - Terrified prisoners

Prisoners? They are the richest and most free people in Israel.

Give me a break. These are the same media scum that call Barack Obama a "hunk" - no matter how many unborn children he helps to murder.

I answered my own question! He works for AP, that is what is wrong with him. Lying scum.

“AP-96, Ibrahim Barzak covers the Gaza Strip, I assume. But his articles are hardly objective.”

(note- Nothing from AP is objective, total propaganda today)

You can count on the Muslim Messiah blaming Israel. He openly is not a fan of Jews or Israel. One has only to refer to his minister, the anti-American Reverend Wright, for their opinion of Jews. Only moronic Liberal Jews donated money to and voted for the Messiah thus forsaking Israel and their heritage. Sadly, Liberal Jews have selectively forgotten thousands of years of Jewish history. God will remember and judge those that forsake Israel.

Israel has about three weeks left to do whatever they plan to do. Prayers that they git-r-done.

Rolling thunder from the sky,
Islamic pukes prepare to die,
Streaking in with firey hail,
Star of David on its tail!

I am 61 years old, and I remember hearing anti-semitic talk as a young man growing up in Texas.

Those days are gone. I cannot imagine a Christian in the U.S. with active gray matter between his ears, that does not now understand how the Christians in the West (including the U.S.) are forever bound to the Israeli’s.

We are bound by what they contributed to our Bible. We are bound by a common love of God. We are bound by a sense of right and wrong because of this common heritage.

We are in this with them to the END.

“I guess you Pali’s and Hamas idiots should have thought of that before you started sending rockets into Israel MONTHS AGO. “

General Sherman to the mayor and people of Atlanta :

“Now that war comes to you, you feel very different. You deprecate its horrors, but did not feel them when you sent car-loads of soldiers and ammunition, and moulded shells and shot, to carry war into Kentucky and Tennessee, to desolate the homes of hundreds and thousands of good people who only asked to live in peace at their old homes, and under the Government of their inheritance.

“But these comparisons are idle. I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect an early success.

“But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.”

Of course when they shoot at Israel, its just sport. This article needs a barf alert.
