The Israeli taxi arrived at Sderot just before noon. Thousands of terrorist rockets have rained on Israeli towns within range of Hamas-ruled Gaza, as the world mostly ignored the thunder. Those who knew about the attacks seemed to dismiss the rockets as just a nuisance, like mosquitoes. Yet the rockets have grown more and more powerful, to the point where the largest these days carries about 60 times more explosives than a hand grenade.

Why can't I read this guy in the Globe and Mail?
Phantom.....ROTFLMAO....you owe me one keyboard. In the mop and pail? Oh,and BTW....off topic,but the CBCPravda is running a show tonight called "The truth about liars".On Ceeb? I guess somebody took the word irony out of their dictionarys.
CBC is a reservoir of deceit, lies and treachery. I can't wait to hear them try to splain themselves.
Yon is the man.
Hamas must die.
Thats a great article Kate, thanks for linking.
You can sign up at Yon's site for regular e-mail updates.
If you want to really know what is going on - not the defeatist jihadi love fest crap pushed by the CBC et al, Michael Yon is a go-to guy
Yon referred to the Iraqi elections. Isn't it strange how successful non-violent elections have fallen off the MSM radar screen?
I love it: "Israel will charge British officers for warcrimes in Iraq".
Go Israel!
does anyone know how big a bomb we need to rid ourselves of radical islam ?
Back to the same with both Hamas and Fatah firing rockets into civilian areas in Israel. As before the MSM and all those "peace-nicks" have suddenly fallen silent. They only come to life the moment Israel makes the smallest move to defend its citizens.
Ran across this priest on jihadwatch.org
He's trying a different approach to solve the riddle of radical Islam.
He's using the anonymity of the internet to reach out to Muslims: ‘I love Muslims, I hate Islam.'
Basically, he understands Muslims are deeply religious people who are willing to search for the truth.
He has a radio broadcast in Arabic throughout the middle east and, so far, is credited with converting millions of Muslims to Christianity.
His radio broadcast is respectful of people's search for the truth, so he takes a hypothetical question, then compares Christian scripture with the Qur'an text.
He challenges Islamic scholars to come up with a response in a civilized debate and for the most part has been scoring points with Muslims fed up with those who seek to solve their problems through violent means.
There's a $60 million bounty put on his life by Islamic extremists. Compare that to the $25 million reward offered for the capture of Osama bin Laden and it's obvious the Muslim world considers him a dangerous challenge.
He is somewhere in the United States and call his most effective means of getting out his message St. Internet.
A very courageous man to whom I'll contribute my hard-earned money. Here's the link. Look at his approach. It's non-confrontational and apparently very effective.

i am not by any means a Nazi, my Lord and savior is a Jew but the people running the occupied area called Isreal today should be ashamed, they say they are just defending themselves from the extremist from next door, when truth be told THEY are the ones causing terror, THEY are the the ones who are secretly in power. They have the united states army back them with real weapons of mass destruction. I tell you right now, if canada for some reason went into war with a neighboring country and that opposing country came to saskatoon to tear down my house and make way for new houses to be built i would sit at my front door with a rifle in my hand and do the same thing the Palestinians are doing now DEFENDING THEMSELVES.

WHAT?! If you can prove a country called Palestine existed on Planet Earth in the few billion years before 1948 then wingless.aoriginality.com has $10,000 for you! COME ON DOWN!
btw - we've had no takers yet because you will never find information on something non-existent. (if it was a country what was its capital, it's flag, it's government, who recognized it, what was its history, its currency, when did it declare independence etc...)

, they say they are just defending themselves from the extremist from next door, when truth be told THEY are the ones causing terror, THEY are the the ones who are secretly in power.

Secretly? It's not a secret! Israel is the only place in the MIddle East where Muslims coexist with others peacefully! For an ARab to vote or have freedom of sexuality, or religion he has to be an ISRAELI CITIZEN!
Yes, they vote in elections! While the ARab world makes a fuss about so-called settlers who DO NOT MAKE UP EVEN 1% of 1% of 1% of 1% of the ARAB POPULATION - ISRAEL HAS ABSORBED OVER 1 MILLION ARABS INTO ITS DEMOCRACY! This Israeli ARabs are simply ARabs that stayed in Israel during the 48 and/or 67 war OR those that returned within a reasonable period after these wars. THEY WERE IMMEDIATLEY GRANTED CITIZENSHIP, they carry the same passport as their Jewish counterparts, they take part in elections, they sit in the Parliament (Knesset) (yep, several ARab Mks, some still call for Israels destruction yet the Supreme Court allows them to stay in government despite this treason!), there is even an ARab SUPREME COURT JUDGE!
I can go on
Care to debate? I'll dedicate a bloody page to it if you wish (wingless dot aoriginality dot com)

They have the united states army back them with real weapons of mass destruction.

Israel 'reportedly' has WMDs, it denies but is believed to be a long standing member of the nuclear club. Unlike its neighbours though, it has never started a war (the 6 day war was launched after international minders were expelled by ARabs and the ARab armies were advancing to Israels borders, it could hardly be called pre-emptive)
ISRAEL WON ALL OF ITS MAJOR WARS WITHOUT AMERICAN AID! American AID only came during the last parts of the last major War in 1973. Before that Israel had to make due with whatever weapons it could buy. Luckily for them, the French then (and unfortunately still now, see Rwandan genocide) sell weapons to anyone with money, Non Quesions asked. The IAF made its name in the French Mirage! Israel took tanks it BOUGHT from Brit & USA and upgraded them. From the beginning the nation was highly self-sufficient and till this day, the aid America provides it provides UNBELIEVABLE RETURN ON INVESTMENT - (Israel is a world leader in avionics, UAVs, AA missles, and is a pioneer in anti-ballastic missle defence. The Arrow2 and Oren Yarok are the best theater-protection suite in the World and it was Israeli engineers that aided in getting the Patriot3 to finally work...the first Patriot, one shown in first gulf war to be successful, was a sham!)
In previous wars Israel was outnumbered, outgunned and often had inferior technology to their enemies. YET IT STILL WON ALL WARS IT WAS INVOLVED IN!
Today Israel is an unrivaled force in the region.

WHAT A PATENTLY ABSURD NOTION?!
Do you really believe Israel just bombs civilians? If so, why is there ONE CIVILIAN BREATHING? Israel could do away with ALL OF ITS ENMEIS IN A FORTNIGHT, WITHOUT LOSING ONE SOLDIER! Why did it use ground troops and ultra expensive guided munitions when artillery would have done the job for a MINISCULE FRACTION OF THE COST AND AT NO RISK?!
Civilians in Gaza died because Hamas gunmen changed into civilian garb, they hid weapons in schools, fired rockets from schools and used ambulances as combat vehicles (I HAVE VIDEOS OF ALL OF THIS at my site). They also made bases in civilian areas!
If Canada went to war, and Canadian soldiers changed into civilian garb and used your house as a base then YOUR HOUSE WOULD BECOME A LEGITIMATE MILITARY TARGET! The culpability for the death of human shields, legally and (for most of us) MORALLY falls upon those that use human shields - in this case Hamas.
Where is your morality? Or were you just ignorant to Hamas tactics (if so, come visit my site or stay here and ASK QUESTIONS...You really have little idea of what you speak. I don't mean to be condescending, I do say that respectfully - just stating a point).
Dear clueless Pete:
Drinking the dhimmi cool aid I see?
You said"when truth be told THEY are the ones causing terror, THEY are the the ones who are secretly in power."
Do you have actual facts to back up your lies?
That said, it's always the fault of the Jooos, they control everything, even what you say.You must subscribe to the elders of zion as well,you know that forgery that the brain dead like to refer too..
Pete:
"my Lord and savior is a Jew but the people running the occupied area called Isreal today should be ashamed, they say they are just defending themselves from the extremist from next door, when truth be told THEY are the ones causing terror, THEY are the the ones who are secretly in power."
Golly Gee Whillikers, Pete! Is the Jew who is your Lord and Saviour by any means Yeshua? Or is there a new group claiming they have a Jew who is their Lord and saviour.
That's the most interesting diatribe I've heard from anyone, other than the group who must be nameless. You do live in Saskatoon and maybe are related to some of the Little Mosque on the Prairie tribe.
Yon's in Israel? Too bad he missed the inspirational event of a lifetime in Iraq...

If Hamas ever figures out how to aim a rocket(relax, they won't), the only option that could possibly be left for Israel is the complete destruction of Gaza.
