    It hardly needs to be mentioned, but those will be Palestinian homes and schools in Gaza.

    It also hardly needs to be mentioned that it will probably be 200 new homes, five new schools, and several hundred strategically placed, reinforced and deeply dug in military bunkers.

    “nonviolent” and “border-breaching” seem to be mutually exclusive. Are there any countries which wouldn’t see a mass border breach as an attack?

    Marc, that Atlantic piece is quite something. It is easy to get complacent, and it is easy to forget how different was the America of less than a century ago. Thanks for posting.

    Worshippers of the pedophile Mohammed are required by the teachings of their death cult, contained in the satanic Quran, to be violent. A “non-violent Muslonazi” is an inherent contradiction. Even the Dhimmi police chief of Dearborn testified last month that Muslims are religiously mandated to be violent beasts.

    But I did enjoy that video of the Neturei Karta folk spitting on their liberal allies. :-) That was fun. Allies of the “Palestinians” are such nice people.

    It wasn’t “an ultra-Orthodox man” – it was Rabbi Weiss, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yisroel_Dovid_Weiss the leading figleaf for the leftists who support the subhuman “Palestinians”.

    And by his beatific demeanor, you can see why he’s the ne plus ulltra of what it means to be Pro-Palestinian.

    Strange timing for the photos. Today is the 70 anniversary of German invasion of Russia. It is also interesting that Jewish POWs had stars of David on their uniforms. Apparently Germans wanted to separate them from the rest of Russian POWs but, most likely, had no intention to kill them right away. I’m pretty sure that later in the war Jewish POWs were executed as soon as they were captured, without the nuisance of attaching stars to their uniforms.

Thank You!
