A lesbian? Are you weaponizing homosexuals? What makes you think that woman is a lesbian? Are all women in the IDF lesbians?

Do you know her or are you just you typical hate filled liberal.

I LOVE when liberals OUT themselves as bigots. Thanks TS!

Liberals are not hate filled. That job was given to hypocritical homophobic rightwing nuts who seem born to the job.

I would have put it in purple but I figured even you simple mined folk could figure out sarcasm. apparently I was wrong.

back on topic.

A rocket from Gaza landed near Jerusalem today.

I watched the CBC news last night and they sort of covered the impact of this conflict on Israelis and Gazans. But the reporter created a perception (deliberately?) that the level of suffering was about equal on both sides, when it isn't.

Israelis only have to deal with Gaza rockets periodically. But Gazans have lived with the level of bombardment experienced currently by Israelis nearly constantly for over 6 years. It gets worse for Gazans when their war criminals fire back, but even when they don't, the barrage of Israeli missiles and rockets from Israel are part of Gaza's daily life. What Israelis currently experience now is not as bad as the typical daily experience of Gazans for over 6 years. Our news just doesn't report Israel's constant attacks against Gazans. Our MSM only notices when Gazans fire back and try to inflict the same as what they've been getting.

Portraying the situation between Gazans and Israelis as similar is a distortion. The reality of Gazans is much worse than anything experienced by Israelis. Gazans can't leave Gaza. Israel has destroyed their economy by halting bombing their industries and blocking Gaza exports Halting Gaza exports serves no military purpose and its sole purpose is collective punishment of ordinary Gazans. The point of Israel's blockade is to make life as miserable as possible in the hope that Gazans might blame their leaders, rather than the war criminals responsible.

If you want a first person account of life in Gaza, this article in today's Globe and Mail is bang on:
Israel's attack underlines helplessness, hopelessness of Gaza Palestinians - The Globe and Mail

I am not trying to minimize the impact of this current round of attacks on the lives of ordinary Israelis. No one should have to live in fear of missiles and rockets. But portraying the level of suffering on both sides as equivalent is manipulative BS. The Gazan experience on a good day is far worse than the Israeli experienced on a bad day. Its not too often that our news actually reports the Palestinian experience accurately, so I recommend the above Globe and Mail link

Why are you ignoring what happens in the Islamic countries in the ME compared to free Israel? It's ironic (and illogical) that you don't like persecution of gays, yet the Israel you love to condemn doesn't put gays to death like Islamic countries. In fact, the safest place in the ME for a homosexual would be ... Israel. No?
No. You can be gay all you want in Tel Aviv but not in Jerusalem. Ohhhh no and that safe zone isn't going to last very long as the Ortho population skyrockets

I've never been spit on either, but my strong biblical stance has been met with fierce opposition. It only proves you to be an appeaser, if folks are comfortable with you being a "christian" only because you fully accept their liberal standard of morality instead of God's perfect standard. You're not following God and what He says, your following the crowd.
I follow the word of Jesus not man from a Covenant Jesus Himself deemed null and void and provided to you in Chapter and Verse.
I'm not pushing my religion on people. I'm here to share how I see the world through my biblical worldview. That's it. Even when discussing politics, of course I'm going to have a biblical position. To otherwise compartmentalize my faith would be preposterous.
You'll contniue to give you heart, mind and soul to Caesar? I don't think that is going to be a happy ending for you.
Yeah, and those Israelites were Jews! The ones God made a covenant with and the ones who followed Jesus!

Jews go all the way back to when God called Abraham and he circumcised himself.
Israelites lived in Israel, an entirely different country with entirely different religious beliefs. Jews didn't come into existannce until 350BC when they split Israel into two. Israelites go back to Abraham not the Jews. Look in your bible and find the word Jew prior to the Book of Kings II.

Nah, I'm good. I already know who Jews are, who Jesus Christ is, why Israel is here, and what specific events are certain to happen there.
Apparently you don't if you don't know the Jews practice a religion that was/is different than the Israelites. Jesus was an Israelite, He wasn't from Judea and he never practised the Jewish religion. His group in Galilee (a different country) were known as "the Pious ones".

Your version? The version that isn't the word of Jesus and comes from the OT that God/Jesus rendered null and void because it was bastardized to the point God got pissed off and took on a body of flesh to put an end to?

Wanna know what really tickles my funny bone? I can walk into a Catholic or Orthodox church and celebrate Mass in Israel or Palestine, but if you wanted to go and celebrate amongst your people, you'd have to go to E. Jerusalem in Palestine to do so.

Want to know why? Israel doesn't recognize Baptists and Evangelicals as a religion and they are not allowed to set up shop in Israel.

Why do the Jews hate you?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Sure they are. You weaponized homosexuality. You called her a lesbian as an insult. You got to love how liberals seem to inoculate themselves from comments like that.

This week in Palestine Friday November 16, 2012

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported that five residents were killed on Friday by ongoing Israeli aerial and ground bombardment which targeted residential areas, government building as well as farm lands all over the Strip. Among those killed on Thursday was 3 year old Mohamed Sa’ed Allah. The boy was killed when Israeli fighter jets targeted his family home in Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza strip.

On Thursday seven Palestinian were killed in Gaza. An old man and a 2 years old child died on Thursday midday after succumbing to wounds they sustained on Wednesday. Meanwhile other two residents were killed when unmanned drowns fired a missile at a group of residents near a gas station in Beit Lahiya town, northern Gaza Strip. One Wednesday eight residents were killed by the Israeli shilling among them Ahmad Misharawi, 11 months old; Ranan Arafat, 7 years old.

The Israeli escalation started on Wednesday midday when the Israeli air force fighter jets assassinated Ahmad al-Ja’bari, 52, a leader of Al Qassam Brigades the armed wing of Hamas in Gaza. On Saturday and Sunday Israeli air raids left eight Palestinians killed among them two children.

Moreover at least 300 civilians were injured by Israeli attacks this week. Among those injured 30 are in critical conditions, 26 children and 18 women, doctors in Gaza reported.

From its part, Palestinian resistance groups fired rockets and home-made shells at Israeli targets near the Gaza Strip and reaching as far as Tal Aviv and settlements around Jerusalem. Israeli sources said that four Israeli were killed by the Palestinian fire and three soldiers were injured.

Elsewhere in the West Bank this week, protests were organized in solidarity with Gaza and against the Israeli attacks targeting the coastal region. Protests were organized in the cities of Jerusalem Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron and Bethlehem. At least five teenagers were wounded when Israeli troops attacked the protests near Bethlehem city, Ramallah and Jerusalem in addition five residents were arrested during a protest in the old city of Jerusalem on Friday.

The rest of the report including this week's non-violent protests across the West Bank here:
This Week in Palestine week 46 2012 - UK Indymedia

Notice that this Palestinian source ( the above report came from http://www.imemc.org/ originally and then was rebroadcast by UK Indymedia) covers both sides' acts of violence and avoids using manipulative and judgmental terms like "terrorist" and "terrorism".

Homemade? Where are the arms from Iran? When it comes to attacking illegal settlements in Palestine, I can't say no but aiming for Israel proper is indeed a no-no.

Israel will of course continue to do what they do, and even the USA is prepared to kill terrorists
any way they can. I am not the least bit unhappy they got another one. Of course I thinks its a
slow and painful process like putting peanut butter on mouse traps and waiting for the spring to
do its best.
Hamas deserves what ever it gets. Israel has to negotiate seriously but as long as the have
crazy people running around inside neighbouring states that is not possible. Yes the Arabs in
Gaza, and else where allow terror groups to inhabit sections of their territory and until they do
the right thing the resolve will never come.

But the master race must be left to generate as many crazies as it can and they are allowed to run amok in any nation they please to infect. And the signs of craziness are of course best ferreted out by the master race. History will decide who was terrorist and who fought to liberate their ancestral homeland. Israel is as serious as Israel can get and that sir is not good enough for humanity.

Define homemade.
Fajr-5 missile gives Palestinians rare if short-lived advantage | World news | The Guardian

Most parts for missiles and rockets are smuggled from Egypt via tunnels into Gaza, where they are assembled in small workshops, then moved to the launch sites. Iran is a major source of parts, but so are Egypt, Libya and the Sudan.

I was leaning more towards the shells.

If things don't change, it's only going to get worse when this Arafat autopsy is completed and it turns our he was murdered.
