Not capable of caring for the people that now come under it's authority, Hamas is doing what it does best, threatening Israel. Open the crossings or be prepared for what? More rocket attacks? More soldiers kidnapped? More "Palestinian" infighting? More death and violence? This is all that Hamas is any good at in the first place.

 Abbas, appearing on a podium alongside Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, said Hamas had committed "crimes, murder and aggression against everything Palestinians stand for" in its takeover earlier this month of the Gaza Strip

 “I support the release of Palestinian prisoners, even those with ‘blood on their hands’, as long as they are adults … they won’t go back to terror,” said Environment Minister Gideon Ezra on Wednesday.

What complicated dilemma? They kidnapped an Israeli in violation of the so-called international law and are trying to blackmail Israel into releasing 250 killers for one soldier. There's nothing complicated about it. They kidnapped a soldier and should be forced to pay the price. Instead of sending "Palestinians" back they should be sending soldiers to get Gilad back. How is it considered reasonable to release 250 killers in exchange for one life? When these killers return to a heroes welcome they will be presented with an opportunity to continue the fight against Israel. This means that in the not so distant future these people would return to killing Israelis. The older these people are the more likely they would allow themselves to be used as homicide bombers.

 In a statement e-mailed to reporters late Tuesday, the Army of Islam threatened that British Broadcasting Corporation correspondent Alan Johnston will be "slaughtered like a sheep" if its demands are not met.

 Mahmoud Abbas will not be around long enough to reap any benefits of a treaty with Israel. At some point Khalid Mashaal will give the order and Abbas will go to reap his consequences in another world. IF there is an agreement reached between Abbas and Israel then Mashaal will use this as propaganda against Abbas. This can only last for so long and then Abbas must die. If the agreement is reached and Abbas is allowed to live for an extended period of time Mashaal would risk something good actually happening to the "West Bank Palestinians". Mashaal can't afford this.

 Day in and day out, week after week, month after month, and year after year The world's political bodies continuously deny fact and utilize a blind hope in it's decision making. At this little blog I post daily of events that occurring that involve Israel and its surroundings. I do not make up stories, I take what has been made available through numerous news outlets. I read historical writings that come from all different angles and take up numerous different sides. I have done my best to dig out fact from opinion and then form my own opinions on what has happened and what should be done. Sometimes I get it wrong but for the most part I come out on the right side.

 When will a nuclear bomb be detonated within a western country's borders by an islamic terrorist organization? High yield. low yield, dirty bomb, whatever. It's not a matter of if but when. At what point will an islamic group, with state backing, get the nerve to do this? Will it go off in Israel, England, or the United States? These are the big three that the terrorists want to strike at. These three nations represent everything the islamist hates, secularism, Judaism, and Christianity. They also have more power individually than all of the islamic states and groups combined.

The Syrian VP almost gets it right:

Over the last few years I have used the word ATROCITIZER pretty regularly. It is my attempt to get a new word into the dictionary.

 The following is an idea that will not be presented and would probably cause all out revolt if it did. However, I thought I would put it in writing anyhow.

 I will summarize my belief as to the results of recent events surrounding Israel. I have provided detail in past posts. Hopefully this will make easier to comprehend.

Hizbollah on the border to theNorth and Syria bordering on the Northeast. Now Hamas is in the South and will begin agitating in the West Bank. This will provide four areas that will be used as launching ponts for the invasion of Israel. In the distance will be Iran and it's soon to be workable nuclear warheads. Even without nukes they can wreak havoc on Israel from a distance. Even without an invasion, there wouldn't be one inch of Israel that couldn't be reached by rockets and missiles coming from these regions.

There's nothing complicated about this. Tragically Israel is helping the enemy to surround them. This would be considered suicide by any sane person. In politics it's called diplomacy.

 Iran has provided it's perception of the events in the Gaza Strip. From Mohammad Reza Bahonar, deputy speaker of the Iranian parliament:

 When attacked by evil resort to asking evil for its protection:

Father Manual Musalam, leader of the Latin community, said he had received assurances from Hamas that it would provide protection for all Christians in the Gaza Strip. He added that some of the stolen property had been returned to the church and school on Monday.

The fact that a Christian community would support known Islamic terrorists is disgusting. I can understand a community doing its best to survive in a disagreeable situation but to side with know terrorists is beyond heretical and blasphemous.

He said his community had "strong" relations with Hamas, pointing out that Hamas had sided with the Christians when their institutions were attacked in the past. He described the attackers as a bunch of criminals and thieves who were trying to drive a wedge between Muslims and Christians in the Gaza Strip.

Why would a Christian community have "Strong relations" with Hamas? How do you give your soul to satan then claim to be followers of Jesus? It's no wonder the Israelis are leery of Christian overtures of friendship. The only representatives they get to see are the Christians from the region that have sacrificed their souls for "security".

Not peace but a sword. This was intended to be both literal and figurative. It appears the "Palestinian" Christians have placed themselves at the altar of Baal.
