The jihad against Israel continues to ramp up -- yet again. "Four rockets fired at Israel from Gaza," from AFP, November 7:
JERUSALEM (AFP) — Four rockets fired by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip slammed into southern Israel on Friday without causing casualties or damages, Israeli military sources said.The fresh volley came after dozens of rockets and mortar rounds rained down on Israel on Wednesday following military operations in Gaza which killed seven Palestinian militants.
Islamic Jihad claimed Friday's attacks, saying in a statement issued in Gaza that they were a response to "the Zionist aggressions."
Of course. As we have seen again and again and again, jihadists always launch unprovoked attacks, and then claim they were just responding to aggression.
Despite the violence, Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai said on Thursday that Israel favoured an extension of the six-month Gaza truce agreed on June 19.The Hamas rulers of Gaza said they would consider the proposal.
You can see from how those last two paragraphs are worded which side considers itself to have the upper hand, and the moral high ground. Hamas may or may not deign to grant Israel an extension of an obviously phony truce that they have already demonstrated their intention to ignore altogether. Why are the Israelis even asking for what would certainly turn out to be an empty gesture?
Friday's rocket attacks came as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held talks in Israel in an effort to push forward the Middle East peace process.
...and thereby demonstrating the futility of that "process."

Not to worry. I'm sure Obama will get right on it.

The Jihadists are an unrelenting opponent of freedom. They will never stop. This ideology must be defeated at all costs.

Notice how Hamas negotiates with rockets. If only we could learn how that type negotiation is done because it works.

Well that's it of course...'Zionist aggressions'.
The four 'reasons' for Jihad 'response'...
#1. Israel exists...
#2. Reason, Jews exist.
#3. Reason, Israel exists.
#4. Reason, Jews exist.
Four through 1000, are variations of the first four.

...............................
Well, this is stating the obvious, but how is it a truce if they are still raining rockets down on you?
Poor Israel--they seem to have lost much of their will to survive under the unrelenting onslaught of Jihad, the hatred of the Muslim world, constant criticism from the world-wide Left, and renewed "peace talks" pushed by the United States.
Unfortunately, a government led by the vapid Tzipi Livni seems unlikely to be of much help...

Condi, come home. Let go of the idea of a legacy.

duh-swami
you took the words right out of my mouth.
The 'aggression' = Israel continuing to exist. Israel 'oppresses' and 'attacks' the Muslims by the bare fact of its existence...just as all us kafir 'oppress' and 'attack' the Muslims merely by living and breathing.
And never mind about Israel: just an Aussie girl in a bikini sashaying down the beach 'aggresses' against Islam and causes fitna, tumult and disorder. The jihadists' exquisitely sensitive little feelings will not be at peace, will not feel *safe*, till she's raped and enslaved and smothered up in a black bag.
Hey, I 'oppress' and 'attack' Islam every time I go outside my front door wearing a pendant with a cross on it.
Hindu India was obviously attacking and offending Islam in the 8th century - even away on the other side of the Indian Ocean, minding its own business.
And so on.
The whole non-Muslim world, all five billion humans, are 'oppressing' and 'attacking' the muslims by such horrible acts as drinking wine, keeping dogs for pets, letting women go out uncovered, practising monogamy, making music, singing songs, maintaining symphony orchestras, dancing, creating sculpture, painting pictures of living things, and having laws against slavery and against marriage to prepubescent girls..Such are the dreadful, the heinous acts of aggression against 'allah' and his mindless minions, that are perpetrated by the kafir world every single day....

Speaking of dogs, I suppose President Obama is off the muslim hook, now that he is going to own a dog.
I guess he's not expecting to be visited by angels anyway.
I have dogs around me and am visited by angels often...
Miss Fragazi told her students that angels hide their wings when they come to Earth.
I know exactly who the angels are in my life, and dogs never deter them...
