As Bush visits Israel, jihadists rain rockets on Israeli shopping center

But he knows they really want peace. "At least 10 hurt as rocket hits Ashkelon shopping center," from the Jerusalem Post (thanks to DM):

At least 10 people were wounded Wednesday evening, including a baby girl and her mother, when a rocket fired from Gaza hit the Hutzot Shopping Center in Ashkelon.

The baby was listed in moderate condition, her mother and two others were seriously wounded, five people were in light-to-moderate condition and two children were lightly hurt. Dozens of people were treated for shock....

Kassam rockets terrorists usually fire at Israel do not have enough range to reach Ashkelon. Instead, they use Grad-type rockets to hit the city of 100,000, about 15 kilometers from the Gaza-Israel border.

The attack came as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and US President George W. Bush concluded their meeting in Jerusalem.

Olmert said at the end of the talks that Israel would not tolerate attacks from Gaza terrorists.

Really?

The never ending violence in the name of Islam. Just be weary of the states of Muslim countries because of Islam there is despots, tyrants and majority of them in poverty and constant state of war. There is nothing good that comes out of these nations. It is a real warning and do not let any Muslims enter democratic nations; otherwise we will end like the mess the UMMAH is.

If Bush is the 'Christian' that he says he is, doesn't he know his Bible or believe it?

He is going through actions that the Bible says will be attempted and failed and will be against Israel.

Or is Bush the same type of 'Christian' as Obama is, creating hate and rules as you go with the committment of failure.

Bush and Olmert are both delusional to think that the paleostinians want peace. If the rhetoric isn't hint enough, how 'bout the rocket attacks?

Wanting it bad enough isn't going to make so.

As I understand bush theological doctrine it doesn't matter which diety one prays to:

Well, first of all, I believe in an Almighty God, and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God. That's what I believe. I believe that Islam is a great religion that preaches peace.

If this is true then it doesn't logically follow that he is simultaneously Christian since Jesus declared "no one comes unto the Father but through me" -- which if I understand it correctly, is the opposite of what bush is claiming.


Having said this, Olmert decree that Israel will not hold talks with terrorists because there are no terrorists -- only muslims, as anyone in the State Department will tell you, can not be terrorists.

Therefore, no one from Gaza could possibly have fired a rocket that injured anyone in Israel.

With twisted reasoning like this I should run for political office myself.

Todays post is titled:

Jihadists rain rockets on Israeli shopping center as President Bush visits Israel.

Yesterday we read:

Bush to be targeted in Saudi Arabia?


Wonder if sponsors of jihad against our President have considered the consequences of interrupting Vice President Cheney's retirement plans?

Why doesn't George just get his ass out of there ?

Why compound stupidity upon stupidity ?

George, stop embarassing yourself, you're better than that.

Ashkelon is a little smaller than Topeka, Kansas. This is quite a different proposition than Sderot. If Topeka Kansas were under the threat of random rocket attacks from an implacable hate filled enemy, if over 100,000 people were made to live in daily and unrelenting fear what would WE do.

Ladies and gentlemen

Just the other day the murderous jihadis set off bombs in bazaars in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, killing some 80 innocent Indian civilians, including a young bride in her sari.

Today we hear of murderous jihadis firing a rocket and hitting a shopping centre in Ashkelon, Israel and injuring innocent civilians, women and children (but, by a miracle, though many were badly hurt, no-one has yet died).

Ideology driving both explosions: identical: the JIhad imperative as per Surah 9:29 and the rest of it. The murdered Hindus (and Sikhs?) in Jaipur, the wounded Jews in Ashkelon, are victims in the same war; their murderers would recognise one another as 'brothers' in the same grand campaign.

Targets in both cases: currently unsubmitted (on paper) but rapidly dhimmifying Infidel states occupying their own ancestral and traditional Infidel homelands - which for a period in the past were invaded, stolen, occupied and systematically ruined by mass-murdering Muslim jihad armies and Muslim mafioso bosses... and which jihad-&-sharia-minded Muslims, worldwide, therefore believe to be THEIRS, to be stolen {they would say 'liberated' - *spit!*} all over again by any and all means necessary.

Currently 'Jerusalem Post' is running both stories - the Jaipur bombing in their 'international' news and the Ashkelon rocket attack in their home news page.

This is a golden opportunity to visit the talkbacks for both articles, comment on both events and point out the connection between them: as Israel, so India also, targets of the Third Jihad.

Yes you should, your reasoning is often twisted...just kidding.
I still wonder how Bush, the #1. Crusader gets to pray in a mosque. I wonder if his buddies, the Saudi family would let him visit Mekka, and participate in Hajj? Maybe if he asked them very nicely...
If Obama just takes Bush's place as the chief muslim killer, I think Baracks honeymoon with muslims will soon be over. He's not Bush. It will be interesting to see what kind of relationship Obama gets going with the Saudi's. Bush is on kissing and holding hands familiarity. I wonder when we will see Obama Kissing the Saudi King? Or even worse, Amahdinijad...

Probably within a year. It won't take longer than that to arrange a summit or a rendezvous at the UN. Ahmadinejad would be first up. I don't think the Saudi king would like Chicago. Not warm enough. Maybe Obama can take him to his grandparents' home in Hawaii.

If the rockets were fired by muslims, we'd probably claim it was a "misunderstanding".

Well, our so-called leaders would, anyway.
