			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Says <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINIndia-42553620090918">Reuters</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has raised the stakes against Israel by describing the Holocaust as a lie, just as world powers are trying to decide how to deal with the nuclear ambitions of an Iran in political turmoil.</p>
<p>&#8220;The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false &#8230; It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim,&#8221; he told worshippers at Tehran University at the end of an annual anti-Israel &#8220;Qods (Jerusalem) Day&#8221; rally.</p>
<p>&#8220;Confronting the Zionist regime is a national and religious duty.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that confronting Israel is a national and religious duty.  A holy war.</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/19/world/middleeast/19iran.html">The New York Times</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
In a speech to a pro-Palestinian rally, which also fell on the eve of the Jewish New Year, Mr. Ahmadinejad called confrontation with “the Zionist regime” a “national and religious duty,” news reports said.</p>
<p>Several reports quoted him as saying the Holocaust was false pretext for the establishment of Israel in 1948. “It is a lie” based on an unprovable and “mythical claim,” he was quoted as saying in the speech.</p>
<p>Mr. Ahmadinejad said the Israeli “regime has no future. Its life has come to an end,” Reuters reported.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Israel&#8217;s life has come to an end.  An ultimatum.</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9AP714G0&#038;show_article=1">Breitbart</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Experts at the world&#8217;s top atomic watchdog are in agreement that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is on the way to developing a missile system able to carry an atomic warhead, according to a secret report seen by The Associated Press.</p>
<p>The document drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency is the clearest indication yet that the agency&#8217;s leaders share Washington&#8217;s views on Iran&#8217;s weapon-making capabilities.</p>
<p>The document says Iran has &#8220;sufficient information&#8221; to build a bomb. It says Iran is likely to &#8220;overcome problems&#8221; on developing a delivery system.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can build a nuke whenever he wants.  All he needs now it to perfect his missile to deliver the nuke.  Anyone want to guess where the first missile would be aimed?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the <a href="http://www.terrorismawareness.org/">website</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
During the week of October 22-26, 2007, the nation will be rocked by the biggest conservative campus protest ever – Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, a wake-up call for Americans on 200 university and college campuses.</p>
<p>The purpose of this protest is as simple as it is crucial: to confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat. Nothing could be more politically incorrect than to point this out. But nothing could be more important for American students to hear. </p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.terrorismawareness.org/images/43t.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="314" alt="x" /></p>
<p>In the face of the greatest danger Americans have ever confronted, the academic left has mobilized to create sympathy for the enemy and to fight anyone who rallies Americans to defend themselves. According to the academic left, anyone who links Islamic radicalism to the war on terror is an &#8220;Islamophobe.&#8221; According to the academic left, the Islamo-fascists hate us not because we are tolerant and free, but because we are &#8220;oppressors.&#8221;</p>
<p>Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is a national effort to oppose these lies and to rally American students to defend their country.
</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>The LONG TERM goal of jihad is world domination – a global Islamic state under Islamic law.</strong>  Jihad is not, as some Western apologists claim, simply a striving for individual perfection. Rather, jihad is an expansionist totalitarian ideology that seeks to establish a global Islamic state ruled by Islamic law, or sharia. Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s chief henchman said in the summer of 2006: “Jihad seeks the liberation of Palestine, the entire country of Palestine and to liberate every land that used to be a territory of Islam, from Spain to Iraq.”</p>
<p><strong>The jihad’s IMMEDIATE Objective is “Death to America.”</strong>  “America,” declared Al-Qaeda spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith, “is the head of heresy in our modern world, and [as a result] . . . we have the right to kill 4 million Americans — 2 million of them children — and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, it is our right to fight them with chemical and biological weapons.” The Saudi Sheikh Nasser ibn Hamed gives an even higher figure for appropriate American deaths: “If a bomb was dropped on them [i.e. the Americans] that would annihilate 10 million and burn their lands to the same extent that they burned the Muslim lands – this is permissible….”</p>
<p>The ideology of the Islamists whose ranks today include not only al-Qaeda but also Hamas and Hezbollah &#8211; originated with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimoon) founded in 1928 by Sheikh Hassan al-Banna.  And the Muslim Brotherhood finds not just its roots, but much of its symbolism, terminology, and political priorities deep within the heart of Nazi fascism.</p>
<p>The long legacy of Arab and Palestinian Nazism, and the Hitlerite themes of lebensraum, ethnic cleansing and genocide, continue to echo in the Middle East today. Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, said of the Jews after the Lebanon war of 2006: “If they gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them nationwide.” Mahmoud Zahar, Hamas Foreign Minister, says: “I dream of hanging a huge map of the world on the wall at my Gaza home which does not show Israel on it.” And most chillingly, Ali Akabar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former President of Iran, looks ahead to the next holocaust and final solution: “The use of a nuclear bomb in Israel will leave nothing on the ground, whereas it will only damage the world of Islam.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>0759 EDT &#8211; American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767, departs Logan Airport with 81 passengers and 11 crew.  </p>
<p>0814 EDT &#8211; United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing 767, departs Logan Airport with 56 passengers and 9 crew.  </p>
<p>0820 EDT &#8211; American Airlines Flight 77 departs Dulles Airport.  </p>
<p>0842 EDT &#8211; United Airlines Flight 93 departs Newark Airport with 38 passengers and 7 crew.  </p>
<p>0845 EDT &#8211; Flight 11 crashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. It is believed that all of the hijackers congregated in the cockpit at the final stages of the flight to shout their “Allahu akbars” together.</p>
<p>0902 EDT &#8211; Flight 175 crashes into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.</p>
<p>0938 EDT &#8211; Flight 77 crashes just short of the Pentagon.</p>
<p>0959 EDT &#8211; The South Tower of the World Trade Center collapses, 55 minutes 51 seconds after the impact of Flight 175.</p>
<p>1003 EDT &#8211; After an uprising by the passengers, Flight 93 crashes in Shanksville, PA.</p>
<p>1010 EDT &#8211; Part of the Pentagon collapses.</p>
<p>1028 EDT &#8211; The North Tower of the World Trade Center collapses.</p>
<p>Osama Bin Laden tunes in to the radio to hear American news broadcasts of the event. &#8220;They were overjoyed when the first plane hit the building,&#8221; he said on a video later obtained by American forces, talking about others listening with him that day. &#8220;So I said to them: Be patient.&#8221; He said, &#8220;At the end of the newscast, they reported that a plane just hit the World Trade Center.&#8221; &#8220;Allah be praised,&#8221; replied one of the other men in the videotape.</p>
<p>Witnesses reported seeing people jumping from the towers just before they collapsed. </p>
<p>1800 EDT &#8211; Iraq announces the attacks are the fruit of &#8220;U.S. crimes against humanity&#8221; in an official announcement on state television.</p>
<p>2030 EDT &#8211; President Bush addresses the nation, saying &#8220;thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil&#8221; and asks for prayers for the families and friends of Tuesday&#8217;s victims. &#8220;These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve,&#8221; he says. The president says the U.S. government will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed the acts and those who harbor them.</p>
<p>2330 EDT &#8211; Before sleeping, President Bush enters into his diary: &#8220;The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the Associated Press via <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070614/ap_on_re_mi_ea/israel_palestinians">Yahoo</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
A beleaguered Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared a state of emergency and disbanded the Hamas-led unity government after the Islamic militant group vanquished its Fatah rivals and effectively took control of the Gaza Strip on Thursday.</p>
<p>In Gaza, it was a day of major victories for Hamas and its backers in Iran and Syria — and of devastating setbacks for the Western-backed Fatah. In one particularly humiliating scene, masked Hamas fighters marched agents of the once-feared Preventive Security Service out of their headquarters, arms raised in the air, stripped to the waist and ducking at the sound of a gunshot.</p>
<p>&#8220;The era of justice and Islamic rule has arrived,&#8221; Hamas spokesman Islam Shahawan said.</p>
<p>Fatah officials, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said <strong>Hamas shot dead seven Fatah fighters after they had surrendered</strong>. A doctor at Shifa Hospital said he examined two bodies that had been shot in the head at close range.</p>
<p>A witness named Amjad who lives in a high-rise building that overlooks the Preventive Security complex said <strong>men were killed in front of their wives and children</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>They are executing them one by one</strong>,&#8221; Amjad said in a telephone interview, declining to give his full name for fear of reprisals. &#8220;<strong>They are carrying one of them on their shoulders, putting him on a sand dune, turning him around and shooting.</strong>&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p><center><img src="http://www.commonfolkusingcommonsense.com/pics/stuff/hamas3.jpg" border="0" width="416" height="300" alt="Hamas" /></center></p>
<p>Ah yes. That oft-repeated Islamic &#8220;justice&#8221; thing again. Like throwing people off rooftops, stringing them up from bridges, shooting them in front of their children, etc., not to mention blowing up trains, planes and automobiles wherever unarmed infidels converge.  No barbarism there, huh?</p>
<p>When Israel gave up the Gaza Strip, forcing some 8 or 9 thousand Jewish population out of their homes and communities, and removing Israeli soldiers, The New York Times editorially saw this as the dawn of peace. Of course, it was the opposite. It meant that the cancerous Global Jihad had attained a beachhead on the Mediterranean Sea, to establish an Islamofascist terrorist entity there for the furtherance of the khilafa agenda.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go ahead and say it:  (1) Islam is incompatible with freedom and democracy, and (2) an Islamist-dominated population is incapable of living in peace without some type of dictator in place.  Barbarians stuck in the 7th century.</p>
<p>To all those Gaza residents that wanted Israel to pull out so that they could be free of &#8216;Jewish oppression&#8217; &#8211; how do you like things so far?</p>
<p>Oh, by the way Pelosi and Reid, this is a preview of what will happen to Iraq when you pull the US military out.</p>
<p>Fatah, a secular political grouping headed by Mr Abbas, ran the Palestinian Authority until 2006 and officially recognizes Israel.  </p>
<p>Hamas, an Islamic organization, rose to prominence in Gaza during two Palestinian uprisings and refuses to recognize or negotiate with Israel.</p>
<p>In interviews, Hamas co-founder Mahmoud al-Zahar has described the creation of &#8220;Hamastan&#8221; as a goal of Hamas. &#8220;When asked by a Newsweek reporter (August 30, 2005) whether the Gaza Strip would become “Hamastan”, Mahmoud al-Zahar responded: &#8216;It should be Hamastan&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>The human rights groups, which would scream for a week if Israel paraded Palestinians around in their undies, have yet to even notice the war crimes/crimes against humanity perpetrated by Hamas.  They took one guy, and literally blew his head off &#8211; and yet there are diplomats who think Hamas can be moderated or that there is common ground for negotiations.  Where is the outrage, New York Times?</p>
<p>Thus ends the “Middle East peace process” that was never much of a process and never much about peace. Hamas won’t negotiate; they want Israel erased from the map.  </p>
<p>This gives Iran three de facto borders now with Israel: </p>
<ul>
<li>Syria (owned and operated by Iran)</li>
<li>Lebanon (owned and operated by Syria, which is owned and operated by Iran)</li>
<li>Hamastan (formerly known as Gaza, which is now owned and operated by Iran)</li>
</ul>
<p>Do you get the feeling that this is phase 1 of the upcoming Syrian offensive maneuvers against Israel this summer &#8230; the ones they already bragged about?</p>
<p>Oh, and the silence of the BBC and the French Press is positively deafening.</p>
<p>Anyone got a spare GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb [MOAB] we could deliver to Hamas?  Then again, there&#8217;s always this to look forward to from Hamas:</p>

Iran&#8216;s president said on Sunday the Lebanese and the Palestinians had pressed a &#8220;countdown button&#8221; to bring <strong>an end to Israel</strong>.</p>
<p>President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who triggered outrage in the West two years ago when he said Israel should be &#8220;<strong>wiped off the map</strong>&#8220;, has often referred to the destruction of the Jewish state but says Iran is not a threat.</p>
<p>&#8220;With God&#8217;s help, the countdown button for <strong>the destruction of the Zionist regime</strong> has been pushed by the hands of the children of Lebanon and Palestine,&#8221; Ahmadinejad said in a speech.</p>
<p>&#8220;By God&#8217;s will, we will witness the destruction of this regime <strong>in the near future</strong>,&#8221; he said. He did not elaborate.

<p>Dhimmitude is a chastened subservience to Islam by non-Muslims.  This denial of basic rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, is part of the law that global jihadists are laboring to impose everywhere, ultimately on the entire human race.</p>
<p>Before 9/11 it was easy to ignore and whitewash dhimmitude, but the atrocities changed the situation forever. In jihads throughout history, untold millions have died. Tens of millions have been uprooted from their homes. Tens of millions have been stripped of their cultural identity. To continue to gloss over the destruction wrought by jihad ideology and its attendant evil of dhimmitude is today to play into the hands of jihadists, who have repeatedly vowed to dhimmify the West and destroy any recalcitrant elements. While jihadist groups, even with their global diffusion, are not strong enough to realize this goal by themselves, they have a potent and destructive ally, a genuine fifth column, in the dhimmi academics and dhimmi journalists they have recruited in the West. They have succeeded in confusing millions in the West into mistaking honesty and truthfulness for bigotry, and self-defense for oppression.</p>
<p>And as such, even with the repeated announcements by tyrants like Ahmadinejad calling for the destruction of the Jewish state, the world barely notices.</p>
<p>The seeds of the Holocaust began with the evolution of Adolf Hitler&#8217;s maniacal dreams based on his interpretation of Germanic history, the quest for the &#8220;Aryan ideal&#8221;, and a lust for power.</p>
<p>The seeds of a new Holocaust are beginning with the evolution of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad&#8217;s maniacal dreams based on his interpretation of Arab history, the quest &#8220;one world Islam&#8221;, and a lust for power.</p>
<p>And today&#8217;s media is playing the part of Neville Chamberlain.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Poor and oppressed Hamas has <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,,2081944,00.html?gusrc=rss&#038;feed=networkfront">stated</a> that they may begin attacking evil Israel once again.  </p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;This is an open war launched against Hamas. All options are open, including martyrdom operations,&#8221; Abu Ubaida, a spokesman for the organisation&#8217;s armed wing, said.
</p></blockquote>
<p>What has evil Israel done to provoke such a defensive response from Hamas?</p>
<blockquote><p>
Israeli planes launched air strikes against the militant Palestinian group in Gaza.</p>
<p>The three aerial attacks destroyed a Hamas compound, hit a car carrying two senior commanders and a trailer used by the Islamist group, killing three people and wounding scores of others.</p>
<p>Israel confirmed all three air strikes.
</p></blockquote>
<p>See, just as the UN, most of Europe, most of the world media and news organizations, and practically every Arab in the world have been telling us for years, Hamas is only acting in self-defense.</p>
<p>Except that the UN, most of Europe, most of the world media and news organizations, and practically every Arab in the world always seem to leave out a small detail of what&#8217;s really been going on over there.  You see, <a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3401172,00.html">the reason</a> Israel launched air strikes against the militant Palestinian group in Gaza was:</p>
<blockquote><p>
A high school in the Negev was directly hit by a Qassam rocket Thursday. Two people were lightly wounded in the attack, and several others suffered from shock.</p>
<p>Earlier Thursday, three Qassam rockets landed in Sderot.  Another two rockets landed in open fields in the western Negev.
</p></blockquote>
<p>And those don&#8217;t even count the more than 50 rockets that have fallen on the Israeli town of Sderot in the last three days.  All of the rockets came from Palestinian-controlled in Gaza, and all were fired by Palestinian terrorists.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have had enough. Israel will take all defensive measures to protect our citizens from these Hamas rockets,&#8221; Miri Eisin, a spokeswoman for the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said before the air strike.</p>
<p>An official statement released Wednesday following a security meeting at the Prime Minister&#8217;s Office said that &#8220;Israel will operate against Hamas&#8217; Qassam launchers, their commanders and the terror perpetrators.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sderot is a city in the Southern District of Israel.  Sderot lies a kilometer from the Gaza Strip. Since the beginning of the al-Aqsa Intifada in October 2000, the city has been frequently attacked by Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants using homemade rockets known as &#8220;Qassam rockets&#8221;. Although they are very inaccurate, these attacks have resulted in a number of deaths and injuries as well as causing psychological distress among the residents. Hundreds of Qassam rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip since Israel removed all permanent Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip and from four settlements in the northern West Bank in September 2005.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right: As an overture to peace Israel volunteered to remove all permanent Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip and from four settlements in the northern West Bank back in 2005.  Hamas is showing their overture to peace by filling Gaza with crude rockets and bombarding Israeli civilian areas &#8230; including schools.  And yet Hamas has the gall to call the Israeli defensive response to this bombardment &#8220;an open war launched against Hamas&#8221;?</p>
<p>And to make this painfully clear to those of you that were educated in America&#8217;s government schools, <strong>Israel&#8217;s defensive response was aimed as the rockets, the rocket launchers, and militant leaders.  Hamas&#8217; offensive response was aimed at innocent civilian areas.</strong>  There is stark contrast in this conflict, and if you cannot see it for yourself then either you aren&#8217;t very bright or you&#8217;re just as anti-Israel as the Palestinians.</p>
<ul>
<li>On July 7, 2006, two Qassam rockets fired from Gaza hit the city. One of the Qassams fell in the city&#8217;s central market, wounding seven civilians. Three people were hit by shrapnel from the rocket, while four were in shock. The second rocket landed in an empty soccer field. Three of the wounded were evacuated to Barzilai Hospital.</li>
<li>On November 15, 2006, Islamic Jihad and militants associated with Hamas fired fifteen Qassam rockets from Gaza into the Western Negev, eleven of which landed in Sderot, killing a 57-year old woman, Faina Sloutsker, and seriously wounding several people, among whom were a high school student.</li>
<li>Recent research has found that one out of every three Sderot children suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).</li>
</ul>
<p>Qassam rockets are fired into Israel from Gaza by Palestinian militants on almost a daily basis.  If 89 rockets fell on your town in one month alone, and if around 300 rockets fell in your town since 2005, and if most of these rockets hit civilian population centers like schools, what would you expect your government to do?  What would you expect your media to say?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I just cannot understand the value of sending a poor and uneducated 20-year-old Arab male onto a school bus full of 10-year-old Israeli girls and blowing everyone up.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From Michael Goodwin at the <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/col/goodwin/index.html">NY Daily News</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
You hear it all the time: If only the Israelis and Palestinians would make peace, the rest of the world would follow. The next time you hear it, remember that the Palestinian version of Mickey Mouse preaches death to Jews and Americans.</p>
<p>There can be no peace with a culture like that.</p>
<p>To those who monitor the sewage spewing from Arab media, the only shock about the report is that many Americans don&#8217;t grasp the depth of depravity. Television, newspapers and the Internet daily urge violence in the name of Islam. Cartoons and music videos are used to brainwash children.</p>
<p><strong>The goal, openly stated, is to enlist children in the &#8220;culture of martyrdom&#8221; &#8211; to die fighting and killing the enemies of Islam. Suicide bombers are glorified and promised everlasting paradise. Grade-school textbooks fill children with dreams of a glorious death.</strong></p>
<p>The sheer volume of this sickening garbage makes it clear that we are a long way from peace. The images, which shift easily from cartoon violence to grisly videos of the real thing in Iraq and elsewhere, illustrate the linkage. While we in the West endlessly study and debate the impact of video games on children&#8217;s behavior, the merchants of hate in the Mideast have no doubt. They know that using violent images is a surefire way to raise a new generation of madmen.</p>
<p><strong>We also have to accept that it is wrong and hypocritical to blame Israel for Arab violence and to insist that the solution is for Israel to make concessions to pacify its enemies. Israel&#8217;s first duty is to protect itself. If Palestinians want peace, they have to abide by the basic rules of civilization.</strong> Playing Mickey Mouse games with violence isn&#8217;t one of them.
</p></blockquote>
<p>The digital vomit coming out of most of the world&#8217;s news and media outlets demand that we are a diverse and multicultural world and that all people have value and worth.  But I just cannot see the worth of either one person or multitudes of people living in Palestine that train children to kill the enemies of Islam.  I just cannot understand the value of sending a poor and uneducated 20-year-old Arab male onto a school bus full of 10-year-old Israeli girls and blowing everyone up.  And until more people stand in unison and publicly condemn such actions their silence provides tacit approval and enabling of those acts.</p>
<p>If this is truly what Allah demands then I pray I never serve him.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[At what point do Palestinian terror and missile attacks constitute a breach of a "ceasefire"?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In November 2006 Israelis and Palestinians agreed to stop killing each other.  Here is what has been happening since the start of that ceasefire:</p>
<ul>
<li>Islamic Jihad terrorist captured near Tel Aviv after his bomb belt fails to detonate</li>
<li>Palestinian bride arrested on suspicion of planning to carry out suicide bombing</li>
<li>Three Israelis injured in shooting attack near Modiâ€™in</li>
<li>Hamas calls for further kidnappings of Israeli soldiers</li>
<li>Israeli cars shot at in West Bank</li>
<li>Israeli civilian wounded in West Bank drive-by shooting</li>
<li>Arrests prevent huge Hamas-planned car bomb in Tel Aviv</li>
<li>Egypt arrests would-be Hamas suicide bomber near Israeli border</li>
<li>Palestinian rockets hit Sderot home; several Israelis treated for shock</li>
</ul>
<p>Even after all this action by Hamas and the Palestinians the world media still claim a ceasefire is working.  </p>
<p><a href="http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&#038;storyID=2007-04-24T084811Z_01_L24630542_RTRUKOC_0_US-PALESTINIANS-HAMAS.xml&#038;WTmodLoc=NewsHome-C1-topNews-7">Reuters</a> says &#8220;Hamas&#8217;s armed wing broke a five-month ceasefire on Tuesday by firing rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip after Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians over the weekend.&#8221;</p>
<p>Broke a five-month ceasefire?  What about the earlier Islamic Jihad terrorist captured near Tel Aviv after his bomb belt fails to detonate?  That doesn&#8217;t count?</p>
<p>The barrages of Kassam rockets and mortar shells Hamas fired at Israel on Tuesday morning were meant to provide cover for and distract attention from an attempted infiltration by a terror cell, whose members intended to kidnap IDF soldiers deployed along the Gaza border, IDF sources reported Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p>Over at the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070422/ap_on_re_mi_ea/israel_palestinians">AP</a> they say &#8220;Hamas militants called Sunday for a fresh wave of attacks against Israel after troops killed nine Palestinians in weekend fighting, straining a five-month-old cease-fire.&#8221;</p>
<p>What about the Egyptian arrest of a would-be Hamas suicide bomber near the Israeli border?  The relentless pro-Palestinian bias of the AP is very obvious in this one. Notice that the first sentence blames the &#8220;strained cease-fire&#8221; on Israel. Itâ€™s doubly deceptive because (1) it doesnâ€™t mention the previous rocket attacks by Hamas, and (2) there is no &#8220;cease-fire&#8221; because the rockets have never stopped coming from Gaza during any time of the ceasefire.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6586905.stm">BBC</a> continues the lie with &#8220;The armed wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement has said it is ending its five-month truce with Israel.  Earlier in the day the group launched a sustained barrage of rockets and mortars into Israel, the first such attack since November. &#8221;</p>
<p>Ended its five-month truce with Israel?  What about the Palestinian rockets that hit a Sderot home?  What about the Israeli civilian that was wounded in a West Bank drive-by shooting?    Do those signify an adherence to any ceasefire?</p>
<p>Over the past few years the media has consistently downplayed or ignored Palestinian violence, once giving militant Islam a free pass, while apportioning blame on Israeli retaliatory or preventative actions as the cause of &#8220;escalating violence&#8221; or &#8220;breaking of ceasefires&#8221;. It appears, yet again, necessary to showcase this inaccurate and misleading representation of the conflict.  </p>
<p>At what point do Palestinian terror and missile attacks constitute a breach of a &#8220;ceasefire&#8221;?  Does Hamas have to kill 100 Israels before the ceasefire is considered broken?  Or 1,000?  If a single Palestinian is killed by Israeli forces the world media and the UN would certainly consider the ceasefire broken.</p>
<p>Remember this well: <strong>Neither Hamas nor the Palestinians want any sort of peace; they simply and singularly want the complete elimination of Israel and nothing less</strong>.</p>
<p>The appeasers around the globe keep insisting that Islam is not the aggressor, it&#8217;s just a few radials posing a threat to the civilized world, even though Islam itself has been blatantly telling us for centuries that Muslims have the right and the duty to enslave and murder us for no reason other than we exist.  What other faith makes such a claim?  And yet so many of us fall all over ourselves excusing and apologizing for any terrible action done by a Muslim.  </p>
<p>Why?</p>

<blockquote><p>
The imam of a Georgia mosque who pleaded guilty to providing support to the militant group Hamas was sentenced Tuesday to more than seven years in prison.</p>
<p>Mohamed Shorbagi, 42, could have faced up to 15 years in prison.</p>
<p>Shorbagi pleaded guilty in August to providing material support to the militant group Hamas in a case in which the agreement, charges and even the plea hearing were handled in secret. U.S. District Judge Harold Murphy sentenced him Tuesday to seven years and eight months in prison.</p>
<p>At the sentencing, Shorbagi said he realized that some of his actions were wrong.</p>
<p>He pleaded guilty in August to a charge of providing material support to Hamas and also testified in a Chicago case against a man identified by authorities as a Hamas operative.</p>
<p>Prosecutors have said that between 1997 and 2001, Shorbagi provided financial support to Hamas, a group designated by the United States as a foreign terrorist organization. He also was accused of conspiring to provide material support to Hamas. The donations were through a charity called the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, prosecutors said.

<p>Shorbagi had attended Holy Land Foundation meetings at which high-level Hamas officials made presentations condemning Israel, and hosted high-level Hamas officials at the mosque where he served as imam.</p>
<p>The donations were through the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, prosecutors said. The Islamic charity was shut down in 2001 after the government accused it of funneling more than $12 million to Hamas. Several people connected to the group were charged. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Victory Caucus: We support victory in the war against radical Islamists.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Allow me to introduce a new member of my blogroll: <a href="http://victorycaucus.com/">THE VICTORY CAUCUS</a></p>
<blockquote><p>
We support victory in the war against radical Islamists.  We supported the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and we believe victory is necessary in both countries for America&#8217;s self-defense.</p>
<p>We believe that the radical regime in Iran, while not representative of the Iranian people, is a menace and that it cannot be allowed to obtain or build nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>We believe that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that has killed hundreds of Americans and which waged war against Israel in violation of every law of war this past summer, and will do so again in the future.</p>
<p>We believe Israel is our ally and friend and deserves the full assistance of the United States in its battle with radical Islamists.  We believe that Israel has repeatedly shown its willingness to negotiate a just and lasting peace, but that its enemies do not want peace, but the destruction of Israel.</p>
<p>We believe that the American military is the finest in the world and indeed in history, well led and superbly trained, and populated at every level by America&#8217;s best and brightest.</p>
<p>We support the troops, and those organizations which assist the wounded in their recoveries and support the families of those who sacrificed everything.</p>
<p>We support leaders who support victory.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Stop by and sit a spell with us at the Victory Caucus.  We&#8217;re good folk of a common thought trying to deliver the perspectives and news on the war effort which the mainstream media neglects to help the American public understand the nature of our conflict and its true progress.</p>
