![]() Palestinians in Gaza celebrate "ceasefire" as victory, chanting, "people of Gaza have won". |
No less than 20 rockets were fired into Israel Wednesday (11/21/12) night within the first three hours after the cease-fire understanding between Israel and Hamas ostensibly began at 9 p.m. local time. Despite inauspicious beginnings, following an overnight calm, by Thursday morning (11/22/12), senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials maintained they believe Hamas and Islamic Jihad intended to implement the cease-fire with Israel, and prevent other jihadist factions from firing into Israel.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak clarified that the cease-fire was not an agreement with Hamas, but rather a document of “understandings”—between Israel and Egypt, on the one hand, and Egypt and Hamas, on the other. During an interview with Israel Radio, Barak insisted, “There is no agreement. I am holding the paper in my hands.” Moreover, Barak and the IDF believe that despite Hamas’ public triumphant crowing, the Gaza regime was privately aware of the significant level of damage its jihadist infrastructure had sustainedduring Operation Pillar of Defense.
Hamas’ renewed jihadist violence against Israel was punctuated, initially, by messages extolling their “love of death” to terrorize and demoralize the Israelis, then suing for a cease-fire when the Israelis retaliated with devastating effectiveness. These actions epitomize the archetypal jihad tactics of Islam’s founder Muhammad, idealized as the eternal model for behaviors that all Muslims should emulate.
Nearly six decades ago (in 1956), Arthur Jeffery, a great modern scholar of Islam, reviewed Guillaume’s magisterial English translation of Ibn Ishaq’s Sirat Rasul Allah, the oldest and most important Muslim biography of Muhammad. Jeffery’s review included this trenchant observation:
Years ago the late Canon Gairdner in Cairo said that the best answer to the numerous apologetic Lives of Muhammad published in the interests of Muslim propaganda in the West would be an unvarnished translation of the earliest Arabic biography of the prophet.
W. H. T. (Canon) Gairdner, in 1915, highlighted the dilemma posed by Islam’s sacralization of Muhammad’s timeless behavioral role model, revealed in such pious Muslim biographical works:
As incidents in the life of an Arab conqueror, the tales of raiding, private assassinations and public executions, perpetual enlargements of the harem, and so forth, might be historically explicable and therefore pardonable but it is another matter that they should be taken as a setting forth of the moral ideal for all time.
As recorded by Palestinian Media Watch, Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades—named after the murderous 1930s jihadist Izz al-Din al-Qassam—issued a November 18, 2012 message addressed to Israeli soldiers, which stated:
From the Al-Qassam Brigades to the Zionist soldiers: The Al-Qassam Brigades love death more than you love life. [emphasis added]
Such macabre, hideous sentiments are intrinsic to Hamas’ ideology, and deeply rooted in Islamic theology.
The Preamble to Hamas’ 1988 foundational covenant plainly affirms its abiding, ancient commitment to jihad “martyrdom,” in the context of re-conquering all of historical Palestine:
[Hamas] joins arms with all those who wage jihad for the liberation of Palestine. The souls of its jihad fighters meet the souls of all those jihad fighters who sacrificed their lives for the land of Palestine, from the time when the Prophet’s companions conquered it until the present.
And the specific motif of Muslims as “loving death” more than infidels, especially perfidious Jews, love life, also dates back to the advent of Islam.
According to Islam’s seminal early historian, al-Tabari (d. 923), during Abu Bakr’s reign as Caliph (i.e., immediately after Muhammad’s death), his commander Khalid b. al-Walid’s wrote a letter in 634 to a Persian leader in Iraq identified as “Hurmuz,” warning of a prototypical expansionist jihad campaign, spearheaded by Muslim warriors enamored of death.
Now then. Embrace Islam so that you may be safe, or else make a treaty of protection for yourself and your people, for I have brought you a people who love death as you love life [emphasis added].
“Martyrdom operations” have always been intimately associated with the institution of jihad. Professor Franz Rosenthal, in a magisterial 1946 essay (titled, “On Suicide in Islam”), observed that Islam’s foundational texts sanctioned such acts of jihad martyrdom and held them in the highest esteem:
…death as the result of “suicidal” missions and of the desire of martyrdom occurs not infrequently, since [such] death is considered highly commendable according to Muslim religious concepts.
Koran 9:111 provides an unequivocal, celebratory invocation of martyrdom during jihad:
Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain.
And Muhammad himself celebrated jihad martyrdom as the supreme act of Islamic devotion in the most important canonical hadith collection [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Numbers 53 and 54]:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, “Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in Allah’s Cause).”
Narrated Abu Huraira: “The Prophet said, ‘By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya’ (army-unit) setting out in Allah’s Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.”
Imbuing such tactics with supreme “holiness,” Muhammad became the ultimate prototype sanctioning jihad terror, as recorded in this canonical hadith (Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220):
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy).”
Muhammad, well-practiced at his own canonical dictum, “War is deceit” (fromSahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 267), also conceived the tactical doctrine of a temporary truce, or “hudna,” when infidels thwarted the Muslims’ jihad depredations, and had them at a military disadvantage. This doctrine is based upon what Islam’s classical legists characterized as “the truce which the Prophet concluded with the unbelievers in the year of Hudaybiyyah.” Later, Muhammad unilaterally broke this agreement, when the Muslims regained military superiority, and vanquished the Meccan “unbelievers.” As I conveyed to a confused Charles Krauthammer during 2009 when Hamas’ previous sustained jihad campaign was reversed by the IDF, such bellicose dogma was described lucidly by Antoine Fattal (in 1958), a seminal Lebanese scholar of Islamic and modern international law:
Connected with the notion of jihad is the distinction between dar al-harb (territory or “house” of war) and dar al-islam (house of Islam). The latter includes all territories subject to Moslem authority. It is in a state of perpetual war with the dar al-harb. The inhabitants of the dar al-harb are harbis, who are not answerable to the Islamic authority and whose persons and goods are mubah, that is, at the mercy of Believers. However, when Muslims are in a subordinate state, they can negotiate a truce with the Harbis lasting no more than ten years, which they are obliged to revoke unilaterally as soon as they regain the upper hand, following the example of the Prophet after Hudaibiyya.
Abiding the teachings of Islam’s prophet Muhammad, Hamas’ leadership, jihadist rocketeers, and homicide bombers, fully supported by the pious Muslim masses who empower Hamas, continue to demonstrate they “love death”—especially if their “martyrdom” kills or terrorizes Israeli Jews. Also consistent with Muhammad’s example, and the actions of jihadists worldwide across space and time, when these tactics of jihad terror are thwarted, Hamas pleads for a cease-fire (or “hudna”), to regain a tactical advantage, pending renewal of its jihadist aggression.

The exact same rights Israel wants.
But how can you compare both on the same footing when Muslims in Palestine want Israel destroyed only because they are jews? If Israel was a Islamic nation, we would not see this. But it is a predominantly jewish state, hence the hate. Why the jew hate abc? And don't answer because Israel is oppressing Palestinians - That's exactly what Muslims are doing to non-Muslims in ALL Islamic countries. The hate towards jews in enshrined in your "holy" book.
We see Muslims praying for the destruction of jews ALL OVER THE WORLD. Even Morsi prayed along with an Imam advocating destroying jews - see one of my previous posts for the link.
Israel is surrounded by states that hate it and want to see it destroyed because it is Jewish.
Surrounded by death-lovers willing to blow themselves up for their Allah-granted orgy.
This ceasefire is a joke - only because Hamas probably needs to rearm and regroup for the next wave... Courtesy of Egypt? Iran? Saudi Barbaria?

One thing these death lovers don't know is that, Yahweh’s time’s table for the Jews is now on course. The Trumpet will soon sound for the return of their Messiah.
They ought to have learnt a lesson by now. Remember the 6 days war of 1967 and others that followed ,where tiny state against the giants Arab nations plus the Islamic world could not prevail.
They should remember what the youth David did to their grand, grand forefathers of the Palestinians if indeed they are the descendant of the Biblical Philistines and Bible Gaza which breed the Goliath of Gath.
The truth is that the whole world can ganged up against Israel now but they will not prevail, their Messiah will finally determine the direction of the war, which in the Biblical theology is called the Armageddon.

What about the invading hordes of Muslims in Byzantine? Armenia? Who the hell do Muslims think they are when they talk about the Palestinians being oppressed? If anything, they are being served their own medicine.
The only difference is that if it was the other way around, with a minority of jews in a predominantly ISlamic state, Islamists would not hesitate to wipe-our the jews.
Oh wait, it's happening all over! Nigeria, Mali, Sudan, ect...
Hey, professional Muslim cry-babies - why don't you denounce Boko-Haram, Al-Shabaab, Ansar Dine, and other mass-murdering groups as much as you denounce the Israelis?
You are hypocrites.
Palestinians are pretty much the welfare state of Israel, as Yibel mentioned. If they just shut the hell up, roll up their sleeves and work to build unity within Israel, they would not be in this mess.
But Nooooo - Hamas does not want peace. Morsi does not want peace (although he'll lick Clinton's boots for his 1 B$US welfare cheque)...
Once he gets it, will he still tell Hamas to back off?
Islamists can never tolerate Israel's very existence - it is a stain on their supremacist, "we-will-dominate-all" ideology. Palestinian arab Muslims governed by JEWS??? UNACCEPTABLE - Islam is submission to GOD right? NOT submission to JEWS!!!
If Palestinians want to throw rockets into Israel, then I fully support Israel's unconditional retaliation.
Firing rockets is an act of war and full military response must be used.
If my neighbor fires a nine-millimeter gun at my house I'll warn him to stop. If he does it again, I'll burn his whole house down and bury the ashes...
The Palestinians are LUCKY Israel does not wipe them off the face of the earth - the UN, USA and others are the only reason it's not happening.
If they did, would there be retaliation by other Islamic states??? Sure, another six-day war ending with Israel owning even more Islamic land, and more hate-filled Muslim arabs to deal with...
What a pathetic, religion-induced mess...

To be a judge, one must possess an unimpeachable character; one need not be omniscient or infallible, and it is not an issue of errors of knowledge; one needs an un-breached integrity, that is, the absence of any indulgence in conscious, willful evil. Just as a judge in a court of law may err, when the evidence is inconclusive, but may not evade the evidence available, nor accept bribes, nor allow any personal feeling, emotion, desire or fear to obstruct his mind’s judgment of the facts of reality—so every rational person must maintain an equally strict and solemn integrity in the courtroom within his own mind, where the responsibility is more awesome than in a public tribunal, because he, the judge, is the only one to know when he has been impeached.

It is fairly easy to grasp abstract moral principles; it can be very difficult to apply them to a given situation, particularly when it involves the moral character of another person.

A man who struggles not to acknowledge that evil is evil, finds it increasingly dangerous to acknowledge that the good is the good. To him, a person of virtue is a threat that can topple all of his evasions—particularly when an issue of justice is involved, which demands that he take sides. It is then that such formulas as “Nobody is ever fully right or fully wrong” and “Who am I to judge?” take their lethal effect. The man who begins by saying: “There is some good in the worst of us,” goes on to say: “There is some bad in the best of us”—then: “There’s got to be some bad in the best of us”—and then: “It’s the best of us who make life difficult—why don’t they keep silent?—who are they to judge?”

A shocking story just in this morning. It has been learned that a New York Muslim named Yousef Al-Khattab has married his goat in a traditional Muslim ceremony in the main mosque of New York. Apparently, there is Qur'anic scriptural support for this strange Islamic practice, dating back to the time when Muhammad was hiding from his detractors in the Saudi Arabian desert. Lacking a source of women on which to impose his sexual needs and appetites, the Prophet decreed that female goats are lawful for marriage to Muslim men, though male goats are not. The Prophet strictly forbade homosexual unions.

In heaven, everything is perfect. There are always meals "magically" prepared for you.
You can drink alcohol that "magically" is available everywhere... without the hangovers of course.
(But muslims do not know about hangovers because they ALL NEVER drank alcohol during their earthly life)
You eat, and eat and eat, but you will not be botherred by needs to defecate, nor urinate.
If not, you would need plumbers in heaven, because toilets are bound to clog-up. Or has Allah made, in heaven, un-cloggable toilets?
Where does the crap go? In hell? Would make sense, no?
Hell... if all gay men go to hell, then they're gonna have one heck of a party there no?
Back to women... they will not have menstruations in heaven, of course, and they will be virigns, for ever - even after repeated intercourse - because what man wants to live for eternity with 72 deflowered women. So the women will remain virgins for ever I guess.
Is he going to get bored with his 72 virgins after, like, 10 million years with them ?
What about after 10 billion years. Which is still very little compared to eternity! Maybe your 72 virgins are "replaced" after a while, you know, to break monotony?
Oh, and you will never catch a cold, Never become sick. Never want for anything.
Will you fart? Probably not. Fart means fermentation in the bowels. Can't have that.
Isn't heaven absolutely fantastic! But I wonder....
... If a young baby dies, does he go into heaven also? Does he cry all day long while in heaven? Who cares for him in heaven? 72 virgins also?
They breast-feed him? But they cannot - they are virgins...
What's the point of having a baby in heaven? Does Allah make him appear in heaven all grown up? How does he do that? Does he invent memories? If not, that grown-up baby is going to be one boring human in heaven!
Ok then, let's assume instead it's an 8-year old boy that dies. He goes to heaven...
He's gonna get 72 virgins? what's he going to do with them? Wait until he grows mature? But, but, do we still grow old in heaven?
Back to women. Do they get 72 virgin boys? It's gonna be a long, boring eternity if a woman gets 72 virgin boys for her eternal paradise... She's going to have to educate them all...
Maybe she gets 72 viril manly-men? All lusting after her??? She's gonna be sore quick!!!
Ahhhh heaven... The story just makes perfect sense...











Flatten Gaza whole of it. No men no rockets..
