Collateral damage of the jihad. "Palestinian rocket misfires, kills 2 girls in Gaza," by Ibrahim Barzak for the Associated Press, December 26, thanks to JCB:

Gaza Strip – A crude rocket fired by Palestinian militants fell short of its target in Israel on Friday, striking a house in the northern Gaza Strip and killing two schoolgirls.

The attack came as Israel sent mixed signals over its plans to respond to continuing Palestinian rocket fire. Israeli defense officials say politicians have approved a large-scale incursion into the territory once rainy conditions clear. But at the same time, Israel appeared receptive to international pressure against an invasion, opening the Gaza border Friday to allow in deliveries of humanitarian aid.

None of Gaza's militant factions claimed responsibility for the deadly attack on the house in Beit Lahiya. Gaza Health Ministry official Dr. Moiaya Hassanain said the two victims, ages 5 and 12, were cousins. Three other children were wounded, he said.[...]

Ben-Eliezer echoed the message Prime Minister Ehud Olmert tried to deliver a day earlier in an interview with the Arabic language Al-Arabiya TV station: that Gaza's Islamic Hamas militant rulers were to blame for the suffering in Gaza, home to 1.4 million Palestinians.

But, as with similar cases involving unintended civilian casualties in the past, there were no immediate signs of backlash against the militants after the girls' death...

misfired my ass

What an awfully shocking way to die. Probably playing hopscotch or some game that young girls play, to be so cruelly taken away by some misunderstood conflict.

The girls probably heard other rockets overhead in the past, and this may even have been regarded as "normal" by them.

May the almighty of who ever they believed in look after these innocents, such a sad ending.

Please join me in saying a silent prayer tonight for them.

I love these collateral damage where by their own die. - Posted by savsiv

It would be just sweet if it happened to Iranians attempting to build a nuclear bomb, before they ever manage to finish their quest for it; since they're too incompetent to even manufacture their own night-vision goggles:

What sissies!!! Afraid to show their faces! Every time I see their masks I want to upchuck!

The girls probably heard other rockets overhead in the past, and this may even have been regarded as "normal" by them.

Or more likely cheering at the thought that some poor Israelis would be on the receiving end, then kaboom.

Whahahahaha,
those pigs tried to fire some rockets with the intention to kill some israeli civilians and instead of succeding they end up killing 2 of their own kind. I hope this happens more often

Wait, how long befor they blame this on the Joooo's.

I think this part warrents some emphasis:

"But, as with similar cases involving unintended civilian casualties in the past, there were no immediate signs of backlash against the militants after the girls' death..."

So, I'm guessing these young awrats get to be virgins galore in paradiso, ne? Or would that be hell for them, since they are future women...or at least, would have been. Probably not. They may well have been killed sooner or later for dishonoring the delicate male of the species in their tribe, and since when is the death of a female of any consequence to them?

keeping low-

Praying for complete strangers, children of our enemies, on the other side of the world is sentimental hogwash. It is the kind of Power of Positive Thinking Christianity that has gotten us INTO this mess. No I don't think its either Christian or even 'nice'. Christianity was once a fiercely virile magnificent and sublime faith. Here in America in the 19th century, ministers of the type we call down South 'old maids in britches' teamed up with the killjoy New England spinsters to create Moral Reform, Progress and Christianity Lite.

"But, as with similar cases involving unintended civilian casualties in the past, there were no immediate signs of backlash against the militants after the girls' death..."

Of course not. First, this was Allah's will, which cannot be questioned. Second, they died in the cause of Allah, so they are in Paradise. Third, anyone having any misgivings about this case would keep his mouth shut, because saying anything would likely mean the imminent loss of one's own life. A lovely society.

Islamic thugs and lowlifes celebrate whenever they manage to kill Jewish civilians, even children. The jihadis think it is a good thing to kill Jewish children.

Now here comes the shock: posters in this thread so far - with the one, humane, exception of keeping_low - appear to think exactly the way the Islamic thugs think. Just swap Arab children for Jewish children and people here will celebrate their deaths. Two little schoolgirls!

Is there something wrong with your country?

I don't see anything joyful in the deaths of these
young victims. The irony is of course, that the intended victims of those rockets were Israeli men women and 'children'...

"... no immediate signs of backlash against the militants ..."

the misfire was predestined by Allah to occur. so, no complaint (and no guilt).

But, as with similar cases involving unintended civilian casualties in the past, there were no immediate signs of backlash against the militants after the girls' death...
......................

Of course not. It is still considered Israel's fault--after all, if Israel had had the decency to give and die some time ago, then our brave fighters in Hamas wouldn't have to lob rockets at them, would they?

sarc/off

Flying Dutchman, I doubt that many here relish the death of these little girls. But no Infidel caused their deaths--they were killed by the very people who should have been protecting them--people who could have made peace with Israel decades ago. Unlike Israel's IDF, Hamas and their fellow Jihadists actively seek innocent Infidel deaths, and care very little if they cause the deaths of their fellow Muslims, even little schoolgirls like these.

I do mourn these little victims. Now, if the Jihadists shooting off rockets had managed to blow themselves up--as is increasingly common--I would feel quite differently.

Fly Dutch:

I understand your sentiment but your disdain is misdirected and not entirely accurate.

How to react to the death of an enemy? How to balance the tragic and the just?

As you try to characterize the "serves them right" comments as something like Muslim bloodlust, you miss the critical point. The Muslims launch attacks with the INTENTION of killing innocents; men, women and children alike. The comments, although somewhat harsh or even crude, reflect the very just view that it is better for an innocent Pal. kid to die in an attack from Gaza than an Israeli, even a soldier. Sad but true, and just.

Am I "glad" that these girls died? No way, it is tragic. Am I "glad" that it was them and not an Israeli? Well, in a word, yes. It is both deeply ironic, and just. Nobody is actually celebrating the girls' deaths, unless you are Muslim and are overjoyed that they are now "martyrs".

Now, can you dig a little deeper into the moral dilemma instead of trying to gin-up some moral equivalency?

DUTCHMAN: Don't you EVEN THINK about criticising posters here for their Justified REACTIONS to Hamas Jihadists killing their own with rockets INTENDED TO KILL Israeli/Jewish Dhimmis.

As far as YOUR COUNTRY,your post Illustrates why Nazi Germany EASILY Conquered Holland ; They Probably DIDN'T Want to kill the Nazi Invaders!!!

Today's Holland is well on its way to becoming a Dhimni segment of EURABIA!

In Dutchman's defense, I have deleted two comments.

Please don't hand ammunition to our detractors.

Just like it was said above, there will be a way to blame the Israelis for this.
Sad when little children have to pay for the stupidity of the "adults" around them.
We have compassion for their children, they feel nothing for ours.

These girls are probably in a much better place right now than their elders will be. l am saddened that children are exploited, and these monsterous hammas will pay for it in the end.

Any loss of innocent life anywhere is to be regretted.

What strikes me is that when the Jihadists fired 84 rockets last Wesnesday on Israeli civilian population in a clear effort to inflict death and destruction, that didn't result in serious injuries, and even when houses were hit by a rocket their occupants got out without a scratch.
And one rocket that boomeranged manages to hit a house in Gaza and kill those two girls?

I wonder whether pious Muslims are beginning to discern that perhaps Allah is trying to tell them something? I wonder how they interpret constant Muslim failures such as these?

As Golda Meir observed years ago, there won't be any sort of peace around Israel until the "palestinians" love their children more than they hate the Jews.

Considering that you can hear the crickets chirping on the arab side (for lack of grief over this murder) you have to assume that we are nowhere near the Golda Meir peace-point.

The absence of any "backlash against the militants" is just a demonstration of how deep the moral rot and corruption has progressed among the "palestinian" arabs.

===========

I think it's inappropriate to get maudlin when the members of this disgusting death cult kill a few of their own. And I strongly resent any implication that indifference to such events somehow brings one down to the "same level" as the monsters that are responsible -- or to the moral retards of their conspiring community.

The brutal fact is that the actual physical death of those children is just a more visible, dramatic example of the atrocities that these drooling sewer-spawn commit against their own kind on a daily, indeed hourly, minute-to-minute basis.

Think of the countless twisted minds, broken twisted and perverted hearts, crushed dreams, ruined futures. Two girls dead is a snowflake on the tip of a very large iceberg. At least they had a clean death.

=======

I think the only reasonable way to look at these things is with the clear and ice cold eyes of justice.

This is the act of amoral monsters, living in a community of moral retards. An atrocity? Of course. What else would one expect.

That is precisely the reason they have to be destroyed.

There will be plenty of time to get sentimental about innocent victims after the fighting is over.

Every additional day that Israel allows these creatures to live on, through Israel's refusal to defend itself, is another day that the monsters will destroy the lives of the people around them, another day of atrocities against innocents, another day of human degradation.

Every additional day that the world allows such creatures to live on, through our general refusal to defend ourselves, is another day that such monsters will destroy the lives of the people around them, another day of atrocities against innocents, another day of human degradation.

Every day that evil is permitted to walk free, is a day when innocence is abandoned to suffering.

Every bullet that is not fired at the evil, is a guilty bullet, a bullet that permits the death of an innocent child.

We might as well, through our refusal to fight, have killed those kids ourselves.

You want something to get maudlin about? Spend a few minutes with that!

This is certainly a controversial thread. A lot of comments have been deleted.

IMO, the problem with Flying Dutchman's analogy is that it's not an exact analogy, for a few reasons. It's not as simple a situation as FD is trying to make it.

Well put joeblough!

IMHO, the sooner Israel declares war back on the Arab effluent that has grown on the west bank like a slime mold, the sooner peace can come to Israel.
At least from the West.

If I didn't know better, I'd say the universe had designed Islam with the express purpose of knocking some sense into the multiculturalists who believe there is no such thing as evil. The evil driving Islam sometimes seems so outlandishly obvious, that there would be something comedic, if it weren't tragic, about the countless sheep in educational settings -- even private schools -- intoning the notion that "all the religions" should be equally respected or displayed. When I hear that, I'm tempted to say, "Yes, and we should have Jim Jones come back and demonstrate one of his ceremonies, too. In fact, anything that calls itself a religion, no matter what it does, should be included in the smorgasbord, provided the religion has lasted at least some minimum length of time and has at least so and so many adherents. Then we know it's as true as any other religion. Let's see, how about 94 years and 57,532 adherents as minimums to prove that a religion is true and equally valid with any other?"

I love religious diversity and multiculturalism, but not to the point where they accept even their own destruction at the hands of some totalitarian monoculture. That's insane.

In the intentional community where I live and work, I heard an elderly woman, who didn't know about Islam, generously suggesting to a Sufi member that there should be an Islamic ceremony presented to the community so people here could get an idea what's it's all about; after all, we have Christian and Jewish ceremonies. I heard a young/middle-aged man saying he thought Muhammad and Jesus and the Buddha were all good. I felt sick about the thing, but I chose to hold my tongue, even if not permanently. I have to work with and take care of the Sufi man sometimes (he's getting on in years) and I don't want to create an uncomfortable or hostile atmosphere. He seems, by the way, like plenty of other "Muslims", to be a good person (i.e., a bad Muslim, though he apparently thinks of himself as rather devout). He used to try to proselytize young adult workers here, but somehow that was discouraged. He once made a presentation here, but fortunately there was present a very outspoken person who knew all the darkness of Islam, and it seems that person responded very strongly to things the Sufi said. I wasn't there...But this community is inspired by the writings of a man who somewhere said that 666 is designated prophetically in the Bible as the mark of the beast because it was around the year 666 that Islam would be appearing all over the place. And if you look at historical maps of the huge Islamic rampage during the century after Muhammad's death, perhaps they do show 666 or thereabouts as representing a kind of provisional peak of expansion during that first huge century.

Flying Dutchman is absolutely right. It's digusting when Muslims celebrate the deaths of innocent people and if non-Muslims are guilty of the same outrages when Muslims are killed then we have no right to complain.

Wait, were thes palestinian jews who sgot inside and intentionally aimed these rockets to kill these innocent girls?? Soehow, someway the Jews will be blamed. Such a tragic ooss of life is extremely regrettable but not uncommon nor will it stir up sentiment against hamas and the islamofacists in gazastan that continually bombard Israel day after day. If these had been to Jewish girls killed there would have been candy being passed, ot celebrations throught the islamic world. These two girls are already martyrs and considered in paradise as they were killed, no I mean MURDERED in the name of the
resistance against Israel.

Joeblough, I could not agree more. The longer inaction is the reaction by Israel, the more innocent lives will be ended and shattered by the evil that is islam. This is a war that cannot be conducted or won without the heavy loss of life to Israel and
the west. Many die daily under
the perversion and stench of islam and sharia law.

Flying dutchman: No need to call you names or insult your country. You have your own problems at home with islam. I cannot think of one regular
poster here at JW/DW that would revel in the death of any child. Muslim girls are raised in a cult that denigrates, subverses, persecutes, mutilates and condemns them for life,just being female. Your country is teetering on the brink of
falling into total dhimmitude and the increasing rule of sharia law. It is ALWAYS tragic when children die but the islamofacists will always use
this to their benefit by blaming someone else. Nobody plays the victim as well as musilms do. Please do not be accusing us here of something most of us would never do, taking joy in the death of any child, Jew, Christian, arabic or any other.

Flying Dutchman is absolutely right. It's digusting when Muslims celebrate the deaths of innocent people and if non-Muslims are guilty of the same outrages when Muslims are killed then we have no right to complain.

For starters, Muslims celebrate the deaths of innocent people by OTHER MUSLIMS. Muslims celebrate their own acts.
Not only did Israel do nothing to kill these two girls, I didn't see anyone in Israel celebrating their deaths. I didn't see anyone on this site cheering their deaths. If you think 'better them than us' is cheering, then is there anything that are you prepared to fight for?

The people who launched that rocket INTENDED to kill civilians and they killed two of their own. Why can't any of us see that as deserved? Maybe divine intervention caused the rocket failure. Am I supposed to be sorry that those girls died instead of their intended victims? No can do.
It would be better if those two girls were still living, but how about putting the blame where it belongs - on those who fired the rocket?
Terrorists failed. Why can't we enjoy that failure? I see them celebrating when they kill others. I saw them celebrate after the towers fell on 9/11. I will never forget that image, which quickly disappeared from the television screens.

I agree what PMK says.

But as far as I am concerned, my comment got deleted. I guess FD knows what a humane war is? I am waiting for an answer to what a humane war or conflict is?

Children, women and men are dying at every conflict and war around the world. In a this conflict the Islamic Jihadis are willing to kill the enemies women, men and children.

Why would I not celebrate the fact that the rocket did not hit and kill non Muslims, and who said that I celebrate when Muslim children are killed. In my comment I mentioned that I would not show sympathy because they killed their own and I am glad it did not kill non Muslims.

Moreover, it remains a fact that many Palestinian children are brought up to hate Jews and Israel and non Muslims. They are dressed in Military fatigues and marching sometimes with AK-47. They will be the next generation of Jihadis that is a fact. Until those who think it is inhumane to celebrate maybe you should be thinking of deprogramming these kids and rescuing them from Islamic Jihad.

This is not like your everyday life at home where moral standards are different from a war or conflict, please spare me the rose colored and 'blinders on' view of the world.
