For something from the opposite side

Gazan doctor says death toll inflated

Physician at Gaza's Shifa Hospital tells Italian newspaper number of dead in Israeli offensive 'stands at no more than 500 or 600, most of them youths recruited to Hamas' ranks'. Senior Palestinian Health Ministry official denies claims, IDF estimate on 1,200 casualties in Strip remains unchanged

Ynet reporters Latest Update: 01.22.09, 15:18 / Israel News

What really is behind the numbers reported on the number of civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip? Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera reported Thursday that a doctor working in Gaza's Shifa Hospital claimed that Hamas has intentionally inflated the number of casualties resulting from Israel's Operation Cast Lead.

"The number of deceased stands at no more than 500 to 600. Most of them are youths between the ages of 17 to 23 who were recruited to the ranks of Hamas, who sent them to the slaughter," according to the newspaper article.

How does children and women have it coming ???

Israel has Weapons of Mass destruction Chemical warfare they are totally kitted out Hamas has a few rockets, 1300 + Palestinians died mostly women and children only 13 Israeli's died in this 21 day war, what about those that died since 1948 ?How many do you think died? When Hitler killed jews it was genocide. What are those very jews doing to the Palestinians today? You can't be a just and person if you say the Palestinians had it coming. That is so wrong. Go into history and see who lived there before 1948

All those weapons and they only killed 1300+, half of whom were militants.
The innocent are to be regretted and mourned but not the militants.

The west doesnt hate islam, but it also doesnt trust it.

As for your 1948 statement it was jews, arabs and christians.

Nice rant though
 
I know it was posted on YNET but the original artical is from an italian news agency.

Well anyway, this is a breach of cease-fire, just shows how little respect Israel has for it because fishing boats don't deserve to be shelled.

If Hamas fires rockets again and Israel cries out blaming Hamas for breaking the cease-fire I'll just have to laugh at this pathetic game.
 
ubai - A prominent leader of al-Qaeda has called for attacks in Western countries particularly Britain in retaliation for Israel's offensive in Gaza, arguing that London was behind the creation of the Jewish state.

"It's high time that this criminal country, I mean Britain, paid the price of its historic crime," Abu Yahya al-Libi said in a video posted on an Islamist website.

"There is no child who dies in Palestine ... without this being the outcome of the [country] that handed Palestine to the Jews ... Britain."

Libi, whose group was behind deadly attacks in Britain in 2005, is one of the top leaders of al-Qaeda believed to be hiding in the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Libi told British people to expect reprisals for the Israeli "annihilation camapaign" in Gaza.

Not fooled

"We are not fooled by the policies of courtesy. A wolf is a wolf even dressed as lamb," he said in an apparanet reference to demonstrations in Western countries calling for an end to the three-week Israeli offensive.

In the 31-minute video, Libi also repeated calls for attacks on other Western countries including the United States.

"Make them taste the bitterness of war and the tragedies of homelessness and the misery of horror," he said in a call to militant fighters. "They should not be secure while our people (Palestinians) are scared.

"O, mujahideen (holy strugglers) everywhere rise like an angered lion ... do what you can to make the infidel capitals of the West and America and the Arab Tyrants taste what our brothers and weak folks in Palestine have been tasting."

Libi praised a three-day rampage in Mumbai, India in November in which 183 people were killed by suspected Islamists who he called "heroes" and urged similar acts of retaliation.

Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden earlier this month called on Muslims to rise in a holy struggle against the Israeli offensive in Gaza and accused Arab leaders of collusion with Israel.

I say wipe them off the face of the planet, cause all you people feeling so sorry for the "poor misunderstood" extremists could be next :eek:

We are all seen as "weak" and I doubt if they will show any remorse or mercy if the roles where reversed.

My Opinion on the matter
 
How do you have a scriptural tag-line beneath a desire to wipe people off the face of the world ?

hey don't kill the messenger

Deuteronomy 7:2 (KJV)
And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:

plenty more go read for yourself, and I assure you that their "bible" says the same, but this topic is not about my signature but it was my opinion and I posted it, therefore you do not have to agree with it...
 
Deuteronomy 7:2 (KJV)
And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:

Pretty much the policy of Israel towards the Palestinians.. oh wait it's a state that gets its inspiration from the Torah.. doh!
 
You should have included Verse 1 for context -

7:1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girga****es, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

Paraphrased simply - there are already people living on the land you are going to but not to worry, we'll take care of that.

PS: I'm sure this verse was the inspiration for the Black Adder lines ...

"Have you vanquished the Nibble-pibblies?"
"No, my Lord."
"Why not?"
"Because, my Lord, you just made them up!"
