Israeli warplanes bombed the Islamic University in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, a significant Hamas cultural symbol, in the latest of a series of aerial attacks in the coastal territory, the Islamist group said.
An Israeli army spokeswoman had no immediate comment on the strike. Witnesses said a series of explosions rocked the Gaza city campus. Israel has killed 298 Palestinians in an aerial offensive since Saturday in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
And that is all they offer – from Hamas’ lips to the world’s ears… Patrick Poole fills in the blanks;
Other reports have detailed how the IUG [Islamic University of Gaza] has also been used for weapons storage, launching rockets, and holding hostages. In February 2007, Palestinian security forces captured seven Iranian military trainers and confiscated 1,000 Qassam rockets located at the IUG. Another article reported that 2,000 AK-47s were also confiscated, as well as evidence that captured IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, abducted by Hamas in June 2006, had previously been held at the university.
A May 2007 International Herald Tribune article described IUG’s centrality in the Fatah-Hamas factional fighting in Gaza, with the university used to launch attacks against their rivals and for military training…
But the best part?
The labs were made possible by millions from a Saudi-financed charity in … Ohio.

ET can certainly prove that she has very little real world experience with peoples outside her “book/university” constructed bubble
she is correct that “words” are only man made constructs (mostly used to conveigh information), tho she fails to recognize that they are also emotional anchors that people dearly cling to
ET, there are 7 genetic roads out of africa, through the middle east and into europe, these 7 “roads” cover all inidious european (and most NA) peoples
in the middle east there are these same 7 peoples, but most of them are related, as are the Jews and the arabs, they are all semites, so this tribalism you keep refering to also encompasses the jews, and yet they do not (except for a few extreme right wing orthidox) go around terrorizing other peoples. The “palistinians” do so because they are paid to by those who hate them but find them usefull idiots, and because they are a failed peoples
what ET needs to do is talk to some informed peoples who are not totally biased, and I would suggest Salim Mansur as a good starting point!!!!
“Some of these comments are both sad and disgusting. Racist, ignorant, and confused. Israel has more fire power than all the surrounding countries combined. This latest attack is sickening…likely funded by the US.”
So Deeznuts, just so we know, tell us WHAT you think the Israelis should have done, given that they have been having rockets fired at them (and killing people).
Horny Toad
Wow…one thing is for sure. Them israelis kill arabs at about a ten to one ratio whenever they get to reprisal killin’ and they seem to be less than careful where civilians are concerned. I think that’s called collective punishment. Where have I heard that before?
hey heres a good one…who funded hamas in the begining to offset the *SECULAR* PLO…yup, the Israelis. Guess that one backfired, huh?
Considering that Israel, once again, did the idiotic thing of calling 90,000 people in Gaza before hand to warm them which locations they would be bombing, it makes one wonder about the mental state of people claiming the terrorists are the victims. I doubt if Israel will ever get recognition for its efforts to prevent civilian causalities, especially in light of how so many in the West ignore the targeting of civilians by the Islamists.
dkjones:
explain how my comment was racist?? sounds like you’re confused.
Ignorant? prove me wrong then…show me another surrounding country that spends more. Not to mention all the US backed military force.
Horny Toad:
Well, fighting terrorism with terrorism certainly isn’t a very logical solution…and it sure didn’t work when the US tried it either. One possibility would be to stop their own aggression….just a thought.
To all of you who’s hearts bleed for the Palestinians…here is a newsflash…all of the Jews in Israel are not going to pack up and move to Maimi…now I know that there might be times when the folks who live in Miami might have the impression that this has already taken place…but let me assure you it is not going to happen. Now before any Palestinian sympathizer calls me a “Zionist” for saying this…please rest assured that I am no more fond of the Jews than you are.
So what is your solution to “ze Jewish problem”….well the world has already been there and “all Jews must die”is not an acceptable solution.
So I suppose that saying “only half of the Jews must die” would make someone a Palestinian moderate.
If the hillbilly who lives about musket range away from me insisted on taking pot shots at my house in order to persuade me to move because I am …as the locals put it…”from away”…there would indeed come a point where I would kick that hillbilly’s ass….who was here first be damned.
MAUS….that’s about as dumbed down, stereotyped, generalized a comment as could be made. It’s down right disgusting what Israel has done…dropped a 1 ton bomb on civilians….sweet. All backed by US powers.
