  1. Give me a break Kate, this unrelenting support of Israel is completely ideological, based entirely on a lack of knowledge on the reality of the issue.
    What, are people in the ghetto’s of the US not really poor, and not really oppressed, because they ‘have a water park’?
    Give it up…it’s a Neo-Con view of the world…you’re better than that.

  2. Yes, BTJ.
    Anybody who is capable of having some fun must be an oppressor.
    It is a godly duty to ensure the equality of misery.

  3. It’s got nothing to do with Israel. The Israelis didn’t burn it down, Hamas did. You remember Hamas, the people who were saying their people are living in Third World conditions because of the embargo? It’s tough to maintain that image when people are having fun at a waterpark I guess.

  4. Of course, the article is about how Hamas burned down the waterpark, but let’s not let that interfere with calling people who point that out “Neo Cons”….

  5. Wait ’til the Israelis hear about this! That blockade of theirs can’t be worth a damn, can it Be The Jackass?

  6. As a neo-con, I can’t help but point out that the people of Gaza are in a lot more peril from Hamas than from the Israelis.
    The left leaning bleeding hearts disguise their Jew hating with pro ‘Palestinian’ comments.
    But the fact remains that Hamas is responsible for more misery to those people than the Israelis.
    Every time Hamas begins exporting rockets, some innocent people get hurt.

  7. Heck, just think back to the violent clashes between Hamas and Fatah. They can’t even get along with each other.

  8. @BTJ Anti-Israel(i) ideology is anti-semitism. Anti-semitism’s avowed purpose is (mass)murder. Hamas is just not good at it.

  9. Water parks are for children. They splash, play, go down water slides backwards, pee in the pool. They have fun. Closing down a water park for no other reason than it is “impure” is as stupid as Puritans banning Christmas. Yes, I realise it was “politically incorrect” of me to call a cultural practice stupid and defend Christmas but, really, if something is emotionally retarded, it should be called as such.
    Even if someone doesn’t want to defend Israel (and I think they should) or interfere with the Palestinian individual or national destiny, they very least someone can do is call a spade a spade. In this case, call the Palestinians on their bat—- craziness and refuse to back or pity them for any reason.

  10. No wonder the socialists love radical Islamists. They have the same agenda. It goes something like this: “Everyone shall be equally miserable. If there is one thing we will not tolerate it is fun. Fun is completely against our islamist/socialist ideals. We cannot have fun because we are oppressed. Do you HEAR ME??? WE ARE OPPRESSED!!! SO DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE ANY FUN. That is for bourgeois and/or infidels!!! Besides the rest of the world must continue to believe that we are oppressed and miserable.”

  11. Yeah, darn Israelis burning down a water park in Palestine, never let the kids have any f…
    Wait, -who- burnt it down? Hamas burt it down because chicks were smoking there? And there’s a frickin’ water park in downtrodden, busted, tyrannized, bombed out Palestine?
    Built with what money?!!! The money that was supposed to feed the poor bombed out victims of Israel?
    Man, you can’t trust anybody these days!

  12. Yea, all those average rich peoples of the Middle East swimming and playing in thier McMansions with private pools. If only the poor repressed palistinians could have it half as good as all thier wealthy Islamic neighbors, who won’t share.
    A sad tear rolls down my cheek.

  13. Like they say in Gaza, “If you can’t burn Jews, burning a water park will hamas to do”.
    And they call their water park “Crazy”.

  14. How exactly do you burn down a water park?
    ~Carl
    Hint: Just like water towers, water parks aren’t actually made out of water.

  15. What are we Old conservatives supposed to be called?
    Can’t be “neo” as I’m not in any sense “new”.
    Mom said I looked old when I was born,and that was just after Pa returned from overseas after partaking in a massive disagreement with some Germans and other Europeans.
    So, “retro-con” ?

  16. Palestinians live in Gaza for the same reason we and our immigrant population tend mostly to live within a 100 miles of the U.S.; to serve our best customer and bask in their affluence.

  17. Jack @ 4:27 nails it.
    “For whom the troll bawls……”, LOL, EyesWideShut, that one is the best of the month so far.

  18. Look at what our palistinians have gotten away with in Caledonia etc…I wish we had a government with Isreali balls

  19. Strike up the band. All together now-
    “There’s no oppression
    Like home-grown oppression
    Like no oppresssion I know………”
    On with the show this is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Actually Hamas had no choice but to “burn down a water park”….they have an image to maintain….for the useful idiots….
    May a thousand camels spit in their eye….

  21. It’s not that the socialist elites want everyone to be miserable or are opposed to fun. They don’t care about the water parks because it’s where all the poor people go and indulge their poor people tastes. Like splashing around and slides. Yuck.
    Only the truly sophisticated can enjoy the pleasures of gilded outdoor hot tubs, within walking distance to the helipad, filled with beautiful models and servants to bring you your cocaine.

  22. Maybe Mrs. Arrafat can build them another one so Hamas can do it again. Nothing like practice, practice, practice.

  23. Hey BTJ. If you think that you are simply anti-Israel or even better anti-ZIONIST, and that you are NOT anti-semetic, I have news for you. Anyone who denies Jews a right to life in their HOMELAND would deny them the right to life as Jews anywhere. And that, my little progressive, is Anti-Semetic. And THAT is the “reality” of that. Oh yeah, speaking of your ” reality of the issue”, one more thing…JEWS have been living in their homeland continuously for more than 3000 years. Loooooog before Islam. That, my little liberal, is not “ideological”, that is reality. Get used to it.

    “JEWS have been living in their homeland continuously for more than 3000 years…”
    Remember that truth is not a defense to Burn The Jews and ilk.
    Only ideology, particularly any re-brand of Nazi ideology in disguise matters to these “people”.
    Religion aside, biblical texts are not historical documents to the left; they are simply fictional tales, made up in the minds of nomadic herdsmen, and again regurgitated by later Christianity. As far as the left is concerned the Bible may as well be a prequel of Lord of the Rings.
    Hence your biblical fact as historical documentation outlining that the Jews as a culture are indigenous to the land is meaningless, to the leftist agenda. Islam rules, because it is malicious and malignant, the perfect weapon for the destruction western culture.
    That is the treasonous, culturally suicidal persons you argue with when debating the trolls.

  25. The rich Gazans should follow the advice of Steve Miller, and “Go on, take the money and run.”

  26. You all are more ignorant that I thought…hopelessly.
    “You act like being a neo-con is a bad thing.”
    Uhhhhh…a Neo-Con is a liberal with a superficial view of the world…not concerned with real discussion and evaluation, rather taking things at face value. It’s for simpletons.
    “I can’t help but point out that the people of Gaza are in a lot more peril from Hamas than from the Israelis.”
    I rest my case…a simpleton view…right in line with neo-conservatism.
    “Anti-Israel(i) ideology is anti-semitism.”
    If you make the assumption that Israel is a jewish state, maybe….but how is subjecting Israel to a set of moral standards, the same one’s placed on most countries, ‘anti-Israel’?
    “What are we Old conservatives supposed to be called?”
    It has nothing to do with age, but entirely to do with your philosophy and method of judgment.
    “If you think that you are simply anti-Israel or even better anti-ZIONIST”
    Quote me…where did i say I was either?
    “how exactly are people who live in US “ghettos” “oppressed”?”
    Ignorance at its finest. You know next to nothing about US ghetto’s do you? Here’s a book to read….’In search of Respect’ by Philippe Bourgois. You could also do a bit of research…it is not uncommon for the borders of certain neighborhoods to be patrolled by police, looking for anyone who crosses the line…such neighborhoods receive less funding for education and extra-curricular activities…they are flooded by drugs…and if you know ANYTHING about the realities of the US ‘war on drugs’ you’ll know that it ain’t homegrown drugs.
    Are you willing to state that you would have equal opportunities as a resident of a ghetto as you would outside? That you would not be subject to any oppressive actions by the state, that do not exist outside of these neighborhoods.
    Typical Neo-Cons….long on ‘ideology’ and willingness pass judgments..short on knowledge and willingness to venture past the superficial.
    Simpletons.

  27. “Are you willing to state that you would have equal opportunities as a resident of a ghetto as you would outside?”
    Not at all. People who live in “ghettos” for any length of time tend to be deeply disfunctional; hardly the people to be raising well-adjusted kids. And the thing about people who live in poverty is that – take a deep breath – They. Are. Poor. Which means fewer opportunities sort of by definition.
    Some people are poor because of the decisions they consistently make, BTJ.
    Maybe you haven’t thought about the difference between the expressions “oppressed” and “messed up”. If these people are “oppressed”, BTJ, like, say, slaves were oppressed in the antebellum South, then I wonder if you’ve ever asked yourself who’s making money off them? As a matter of fact “ghettos” are a massive economic drain on an advanced society.
    The rest is just your usual conspiracy theory stuff. I wouldn’t go mad with shock if I found out that you’re a 9/11 truther who thinks the AIDS virus was created in a lab by the CIA.

  28. Oh, and Philippe Bouregois sounds like my kinda guy; saith Wiki: “In graduate school he worked for the Agrarian Reform ministry in Nicaragua (1980) during the Sandinista revolution”.

  29. My God, you’re right! What else have I been getting wrong? How many “x” -s are there in Texas? Oooh, that rhymes…
