The faster Israel can hit back the better and our government needs to back them up, not bitch about a "road map to peace" that won't work because the Islamofascists DON'T WANT IT TO, as is obvious by their continuing use of homicide bombers!!

Let's call it like it is. They are not homicide bombers, they are terrorists.

I think the map is bad. They're lost. We all know a guy will never ask for directions and he won't admit it and turn around either.

"Homicide bomber" is a perfectly acceptable term when the need for specificity arises. We don't just call criminals "criminals," we have a multitude of terms detailing the exact nature of their crime - murderers, rapists, arsonists, robbers, etc. Likewise there is a need to detail the exact nature of this particular terrorist - homicide bomber, hijacker, etc. (Are there other ways to commit terrorism?)

The important thing to remember is that all homicide bombers are terrorists, and we are at war with all terrorists.

No, no, no. The best for Israel to come out of this on top is to stop the retaliations. The bombings are sure to continue, and finally it'll blatantly apparent which side is serious about living in peace and which is just busy trying to get its own way at all costs.

I almost think you're joking, Max, but it appears that you are not... I don't think most of the Israeli people would stand for a "let's just let them bomb the fuck out of us" position. They want to see people being punished for supporting such evil cretins, and I can't say that I find anything wrong with such a desire.

Hey, I didn't say that I don't have serious reservations about it; my every instinct says to bomb the f@#$ out of the terrorists as they're due. But constant retaliation doesn't seem to have had much of a recent effect on attacks, and it's certainly not doing anything PR wise. A halt to response strikes would be a fairly powerful message to the world, especially when Hamas kept up the bombing anyway.

"Hamas rejects the road map, saying it cedes too much territory to Israel. The organization, which the United States brands as a terrorist group, refuses to disarm until Israel withdraws from the West Bank and Gaza."

From rueters, of course

I love the "cedes too much territory to Israel" part. As far as Hamas is concerns, the exsistance of Isreal is "cedes too much territory"

How about adding new organizations who like to compare terrorist to thier victims to the list of people/places/things to be bombed?

Lotsa good comments here, but I wanna call you people for criticizing the Islamo-fascists, when its THEIR mullah LEADERS that whip them to a frenzy!

I hope theres a special place in Hell for those religious leaders. Their own Holy Scripture warns them of the coming of The Promised One of All Ages, and puts the time at 1260 AH (circa 1844), but when He came, did they listen? NO. Did they investigate? Examine? Engage in discourse, dialogue or enquiry? NO!

Did they imprison Him, beat the soles of His feet til they were bloody, drag him through the city ignominiously, then hang Him by ropes to be killed by 750 Armenian Christian riflemen? YES!
And when THAT didn't kill Him, the CLERGY had to bring in 750 Muslim soldiers, and they DID kill Him, didn't they? YES!

So there's no place for mercy or compassion when it comes to CLERGY (Muslim, Christian or Jewish) now that we're faced with the historical evidence that Jesus of Nazareth told the TRUTH about the Return happening in what we now call 1844.
Jesus 3, clergy 0.

Does the continued refusal to examine Him and His teachings and the World Community He raised up and the Universal House of Justice He created impact on Israel and Palestine? YES, it does.
Are we tired yet of suggesting "Road Maps" that don't work, to people who don't want them for reasons they don't want to give up? Noooo, not yet.

There, atop Mt Carmel, Haifa, Israel...

Anonymous Coward,

Any one who bombs civilians is a 'homicide bomber', whether present for the explosion or no. These particular ambulatory pieces of pig droppings are 'suicide bombers' - they commit suicide while committing homicide.

My preferential term is 'splodeydope', but I think it may be too light-hearted for such a serious subject.

I thought Israel were our allies. Had these bombings been taking place on U.S. soil, Bush would have bombed all of Hamas back to the stone age by now. So why does he not support our ALLY?

OK, Rummy, Chomps, and Buck, I think you have work to do

Progress is being made in other areas... Iran is moving toward a July 9th General Strike, and the mullahs are SCARED! The people are united across 90% of the general populace, have lotsa police and armed forces on their side, and the mullahs are SCARED! American troops in Afghanistan on one side of Iran, in Iraq on the other side of Iran, and mullahs are SCARED!

Chumps. They must've been involved in the viciousness mentioned by Sharpshooter, above. Waitaminnit! The Holy One promised by Jesus CAME FROM Iran, didn't He? Exiled in the deep of a cruel winter, wasn't He? To BAGHDAD?

What irony! First July 9th, now Iran... but we, the people, have a RIGHT to learn the truth, don't we? The truth itself is a real Eye Opener!
