Memo:Hamas Cabinet Meetings To Be Held in Cell Blocks
Israel expanded its military operation against the Hamas-led government in the Palestinian Authority by embarking on mass arrests of senior Hamas officials before dawn Thursday.
Israel Defense Forces troops launched early Thursday a major arrest operation against Hamas officials, detaining 64 of the ruling militant group's ministers and parliamentarians in the West Bank and 23 military operatives.
The arrests took place in Ramallah, Qalqilyah, Hebron, Jenin and East Jerusalem, according to Palestinian reports. Soldiers carried arrest warrants signed by judges that were issued following cooperative preparatory work by the state prosecution and police.
A Hamas official called the arrests an "open war against the Palestinian government and people," and said that Israel must be prepared to pay their consequences.
In Ramallah, troops arrested at least two cabinet ministers and four lawmakers, all from Hamas, in a raid on a complex of buildings, Palestinian security officials said.
In Ramallah, at the terrorists' Palestinian Council of Ministers.

Wild Thing's comment....
Remember how happy the Palestinians were on 9-11, dancing in the streets, ululating and passing out candy as American office workers leapt from the flames to their deaths. And their blowing up buses full of innocent people. And walking into a room full of people celebrating a Passover meal and blowing them all to pieces. And sneaking into a house in the middle of the night and shooting to death a mother and her young daughters.......Never will I forget that news.
The world condemns Israel at every turn, and by extension the Jews. When you listen to the Arabs, they refer to the "Zionists" or the "Jews". They do not refer to "Israelis". To them all Jews are Zionists, and all Zionists are Jews.
When the Arabs murder an 18 yr old kid, in cold blood, the world doesn't condemn them. Instead we hear that Israel is going to cause a "humantarian crisis".
When a Palestinian kid is killed, immediately Israel is blamed. See Mohammed Al Dura. And when it is proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Palestinians themselves killed the kid in order to blame Israel, not a word is said.
The Dinosaur Media, doesn't correct the record. It is simply ignored.
In the interim, we (the US) talk about our regret regarding the child's death. We tell Israel that they need to take greater care of "innocent civilians. But when the truth comes to light, we, as a country, do not express our outrage at the diabolical minds that conjured up a scenario like this. We don't condemn the animals that killed this kid.
The world is left with the distinct impression and knowledge that Israel killed that kid.
Terrorists are referred to as "militants", all the time...even on Fox News. They are only terrorists when they target us in the US. In Iraq, they are sanitized as "insurgents".
Why can't we, as a country, stand up for what is right? Why can't our leaders, make the statement loud and clear, that the Arabs started this....way back in 1947 and it hasn't changed in 60 years! Why must there always be the qualifier...."Israel has the right to defend themselves, BUTT-MONKEY!!!...."
I'm so tired of this. I'm so tired of seeing Jews killed, kidnapped, terrorized, blown up. I am tired of hearing of our troops being injured and or killed by IED's and then the media making a fuss about a solider that pushed a door in with force instead of knocking gently on the door of a home known for hiding terroriosts, or our politicians and our media attacking a soldier for defending himself when he KNEW the enemy in the room was reaching for a gun. I'm so tired of terror attacks today, being yesterday's news, so quickly.
Kids are left orphaned, whole families wiped out, thousands are maimed and scarred, and always we have our eye on the "poor, ancient, down-trodden Palestinians" who were invented in 1967, or the Iraqi's or Arabs...Muslims one and all.
I'm sorry to lay this out there, but sometimes the frustration is almost overwhelming. Why are we, as a nation, so reticent to make known that we stand for what is right? That we will not equivocate and look for the gray areas?
Why can't our President and Sec of State stand and proudly say that we, unequivocally, support Israel in their struggle for peace and that we stand four-square behind them without any reservations? And the same thing with our troops when those calling themselves Murtha, Reid, Kerry and others seek and get the limelight in the media to bash and slander those defending our freedom and our security here at home.
Why can't we tell the world that the only way that the violence stops in the ME is if the Palestinians and Hezbollah stop attacking Israel, that we are at war with Islam no matter what country. Develop a true take no prisoner mentality toward our enemy and let those complaining of the treatements of prisoners that they should count their lucky stars they are even able to breath another day, and are only alive as long as they are useful to us catching more of their ilk.

I chanted "OM" for several minutes & entered a deep meditative state in which I "really got in touch with my feeling " about these people.
I hate them & I want to kill them.

I love what Israel is doing. I wish our leaders had the Kahonas to do likewise and damn the “world” condemnation. It’s actually thrilling watching their tanks roll into Palestinian territory. The news said Israeli fighters were flying over the Syrian capital. I would bet many of them Syrians were “filling” their pants.
I’ve still yet to hear the MSM, Murtha, Kerry, or any of the other liberals condemn the sadistic torture slayings of our two soldiers.

Israel gave the Pali's a chance to do something for themselves. Instead, the Pali's took that chance and have used it to start a new war. They poked the hornets nest, and now the hornets are really pissed.

Oink, I like your OM chant. :)

Bob I bet you are right about those in Syria hahaha. I agree I love what Israel is doing and I agree with you about our country doing that kind of thing.
Me either Bob, I haven't heard one word from the lefties you mentioned. ugh!

razOr that is a great analogy. That is just what happened.

I also wonder WT, why our leadership can't just stand up and state what is real and just. Instead they hide behind sanitized "official" statements and spokesmen. As though the World likes us better, hah!
One of so many things I admired about Reagan was his ability to look straight at media or ambassadors and almost jovially, but with truth and warning, telling them to "get off my bus or else".

TomR, I don’t think Reagan cared what the world thought or what his legacy would be. His main concern was the United States of America and all else be accursed.
Speaking of Reagan, you see Ronnie Jr. on the liberal talk show circuit? He’s standing for everything his father stood against. Funny thing, you never heard about him till his father was gone; now the liberals parade him around like some sort of authority. Shoot, he’s nothing but an effeminate pipsqueak.

Tom I agee, I miss Reagan so much.
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 30, 2006 12:02 PM
BobF- yes, I see Ronnie Jr on occasion. He and his sister try to sponge off their dad's legacy and attack that same legacy viciously. If they were not his offspring they would be nothings.Both tried to ham the spotlight at Reagan's funeral, but I think they failed and most moral people don't give half a turd for those two self-indulged brats.

But Michael is a chip of the old block. Just proves you don't need dna to inherit a legacy.
