Awww...they are playing the part of good little obedient dhimmis.

Watch now as the “religion of peace” steps up the terror, murder, and hate.

Duly Noted.  Now Searchable.

Thank you, thank you very much. In between playing with google earth, trying to work, and posting comments herethere&everywhere, I have been watching video from Gaza. Damn sad situation.

When the terror strikes begin and the jews hammer them into the ground and the world will scream that the jews are causing all the problems. 16 August, 2005. Mark.

It’s disheartening, for sure.  I’m sure the left will tag this as a victory for peace and try to use it as justification for our retreat from Iraq. 

I’m waiting for it.  Mark…

Duly noted. Though I can’t make it searchable, I expect the same. Been trawling the usual suspects for the first signs of it.

I was just listening to Yoni (sp) on Hugh Hewitt’s show and he was telling of the mortars and gunfire being spewing into the Gaza strip over the last 48 hours.  He reports that the Israeli’s are retreating under fire.  Pala-terrorists can’t even contian themselves as their enemy retreats…

It’s sad, really.  He also guessed that the Israeli military would be back in Gaza in by September rooting out terrorists…

Smithers, it would appear I owe you a coke! I honestly thought they would hold off for 48 hours. Oh well, now the Israeli civs are pulled back, IDF can jackhammer the terrorists right into the fucking ground. They were warned.

Perhaps with a withdrawal they now have shorter battle lines and more forces with which to consolidate Jerueselm (sp?). Just off the cuff speculation.

Hamas has already come out as saying that the withdrawal proves that armed resistance works, and promised to step up violence in the West Bank. Not a good day for peace.

[...] And why is this even news? Israelis are being forced out of their homes in Gaza and the Palestinians are promising that Jerusalem is next, but the attention of our media is focused on a handful of smelly hippies with candles down in Texas? [...]

The Palestinian part of the bargain is to disarm and disable the terrorists, but Abbas has yet to make a move. So far, he has been striking deals with Hamas to not interfere with Israeli withdrawal. But negotiating with terrorists has only backed the Palestinian Authority into a corner.

Hamas, the most organized and most popular terrorist group, will hold the Palestinian Authority hostage on every decision. Sami Abu Zouhri, a Hamas spokesman, clarified that “If the Palestinian Authority continues to manage the withdrawal alone, we will protest at all the mistakes it may make. In particular, if the land is stolen from the people, or devoted to private projects or given to people close to the Authority, then we will react.” Reaction means “resuming operations” (what the rest of us like to call terrorist attacks). The “mistakes” will be determined by Hamas.

If Abbas is planning a swift round up of all known terrorists, he is likely to lose all credibility with the Palestinians. This is because Abbas has been visibly aligning himself with the popular martyr theory. Last week, banners waved across Gaza proclaiming that “The blood of martyrs has led to liberation.” Then, Abbas attended Friday prayers at Caliph Mosque, where the imam announced, “Allah knows that when we offer up our children, it is much better than choosing the road of humiliation and negotiation.” Additionally, the PA’s official radio station - Ramallah Voice of Palestine - continues to broadcast messages that Israelis “want neither a solution nor peace.” These statements are synonymous with those of Hamas, and the Palestinians are listening.

So far, there is no reason to believe that Abbas intends to or that he is capable of holding up his end of the bargain. But even if Abbas has the best poker face ever, more bloodshed appears inevitable in the fight for control over Gaza (and the peace process).
