The airraids are working because the vermin are retreating. But unfortunately, too many of them are still breathing and, alas, capable of breeding. From One Kassam Rocket Too Many:

The combination of Israeli air attacks, a tight economic blockade, and increasing losses among the terror organizations is putting Hamas under considerable pressure. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh may speak of a tahdiya (lull, or quiet), though not a hudna (cease-fire), but Hamas’ military wing, headed by Ahmad Jabari, does not accept his leadership. Hamas and Islamic Jihad forces number slightly over 10,000 men at arms. Dozens of gunmen are killed in Gaza every month.

Since ten Islamic Jihad militants were killed this week, several of them high up in the organization’s military wing, there has been a decrease in rocket fire by Islamic Jihad. The militants fear the Israeli security services have succeeded in infiltrating their ranks and they have gone underground to limit the damage.

While Hamas is not launching Kassam rockets, it makes do with firing mortars at IDF bases and Israeli communities adjacent to Gaza. The military wing of Hamas is working on spectacular operations, along the lines of the abduction of IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit. IDF operations two or three kilometers inside Gazan territory are aimed in part at preventing the excavation of tunnels that would enable terrorists to infiltrate IDF bases or kibbutzim close to the border, with the goal of abducting or killing Israelis.

From The Rocket Threat from Gaza, 2001-2007:

Palestinian rocket fire at Israel from Gaza began in 2001. As of the end of November 2007, there have been a total of 2,383 identified rocket hits in Israel. Rocket fire has been directly responsible for the deaths of ten Israeli civilians , nine of them Sderot residents. In addition, 433 individuals have been wounded. Mortar fire has been responsible for the deaths of ten individuals, eight civilians and two IDF soldiers. Of the 150 wounded, 80 were civilians and 70 soldiers. More than 190,000 Israelis now live under the potential threat of daily rocket and mortar attacks.

Perhaps Israel will follow through and recognize that the only way to get back at a bully is to bully them in return. From Israel May Seek Palestinian Compensation for Rocket Damage:

A bill approved by the Ministerial Committee on Legislation Sunday would allow Israel to claim compensation from the Palestinian Authority for damages caused by Kassam rockets fired at Israel. The money would be deducted from the tax payments collected by Israel on the PA’s behalf.

“It is inconceivable that the State of Israel should shoulder the costs of the rocket fire, which the Palestinian Authority is responsible for,” the bill states.

From Palestinian Rocket Fire Continues:

Two Kassam rockets landed near Sderot Thursday evening, raising the day’s total number of rocket strikes to four. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.

From Palestinian Rocket Hits Kibbutz Home; Mother Saves Baby Daughter:

Palestinians in Gaza fired a Kassam rocket on Monday that directly hit a house in Kibbutz Karmiya south of Ashkelon, penetrating through the roof before exploding in an 8-month-old baby girl’s bedroom. When the warning alert sounded, the mother took the girl from her crib and ran with her to a safer part of the house. The kibbutz houses have no reinforced “safe rooms.” Click to see Photo of Baby’s Crib Destroyed in Rocket Attack

More Muslim hubris, arrogance, and supremacy. From Hizbullah: We Can Strike at Every Part of Israel:

Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah told Al-Jazeera Sunday that his organization is able to strike at every part of Israel, and had the same capability during the Second Lebanon War last summer.

From IDF Says Hizbullah Hiding Rockets from UN Forces:

Since its reinforced deployment last August, UNIFIL has carried out extensive searches in more than 90% of southern Lebanon’s open areas, where UN patrols have found and destroyed Hizbullah arms, including Katyusha launchers, Katyusha rockets and explosives. As an alternative, Hizbullah is trying to transfer significant numbers of its short-range Katyusha rockets into built-up areas, mostly in the dozens of Shi’ite villages south of the Litani, to hide them from UNIFIL.

Killing Jews is what palestinian arabs do best. From Palestinian Rocket Attack Wounds Israeli:

A Palestinian rocket fired from Gaza injured a woman Sunday in the Sapir College parking lot near Sderot. Another rocket hit a sports field near an elementary school in Sderot.

From Whenever a Helicopter Flies Over, Galit Thinks Her Father Is Coming Home:

When five-year-old Galit Zelinsky hears a helicopter fly over her home in Nahariya, she thinks her father is inside and is coming home. After all, her mother told her that her father is in heaven. Andrei Zelinsky was killed by a Katyusha rocket on July 18, 2006. The entire family had run to the shelter when the siren sounded, but the shelter’s new air conditioner was running, and Galit was cold. So Andrei returned to their apartment to get her a blanket. At 5:40 p.m. the Katyusha hit. Rada Zelinsky, 30, will never forget the sight that met her eyes when she went out to look for her husband: body parts scattered all over the lawn. She could identify him only by his clothing.

Now the murderers are attacking Israel from Lebanon. Of course there is no outrage from the international community. From Katyusha Rockets Fired from Lebanon Strike Northern Israel:

Two Katyusha rockets fired from Lebanon struck northern Israel on Sunday, the first since last summer’s war with Hizbullah. One rocket hit a factory and the other hit a car near Kiryat Shmona. The Lebanese LBC channel reported three rockets were fired at Israel from the village of Taibeh. The third rocket struck next to a UNIFIL base in the southern Lebanese village of Houla. An Israeli official accompanying Prime Minister Olmert on a visit to the U.S. said: “It seems that it was Palestinians, not Hizbullah.”

Oh, well then, that makes it easier to live with. Palestinians are allowed to attack Israel, because after all, Jews are the sons of monkeys and pigs. The fact is that Hizbullah is going to attack Israel this coming summer. Yesterday’s attack was just a dress rehearsal.

Arabs, Jew-hating Europeans and the unfit talking-heads over at the UN only care about brutality when they believe it is done by Jews, but they are 100% complacent when worse brutality occurs by Arabs.

The thousands upon thousands of Arabs who languish in Syrian prisons, such as the torture chamber of Palmyra is never brought up as a subject, nor how the PLO utterly destroyed Lebanon by instigating the civil war in Lebanon, nor how the Palestinians and Syrians cut the fingers of Lebanese Christian children to ensure they could never hold a gun, nor how Arafat once told the Lebanese Christians that they need to be destroyed for political reasons, nor how the PLO destroyed Christian Lebanese towns such as Damur, nor how the Lebanese treat the Palestinian refugees in squalor and a rat-infested nightmare.

These crimes are met with silence from Jew-haters.

Arabs, Europeans and the UN don’t care about the thousands upon thousands of Katyusha rockets sent into Israeli civilian farming villages where Jewish children live, murders which started a good ten years before Israel invaded Lebanon. They don’t care about the Syrians and Hezbollah printing US counterfeit money in an attempt to collapse the US economy, or Hezbollah’s threats against the US embassy if it moves to Jerusalem, or about the Arab oppression of the sub-Saharan Africans in Sudan or how the Sunnis were massacred by Assad.

The Arab, European and UN – if they have a heart at all – certainly didn’t bleed for any of the following horrendous crimes:

September 3, 1975, at Deir Ayach in Northern Lebanon, a monastery transformed in 1947 into a school was twenty eight years later attacked by Lebanese and Palestinians. The school had 960 children (660 Muslims) who mainly were attending at no cost. Three monks aged, respectively, 60, 78, and 93, the sole occupants of Deir Ayach on that day were murdered. The veins of the blind Boutros Sassine’s arms were severed. Antoine Tamini was slaughtered, decapitated, and burned. Hanna Maksoud was found in his room, his throat cut. The Christian villagers living around the school monastery fled, and the aggressors destroyed their village.

On January 15, 1976, the Palestinians arrived at Kab Elias, an Islamic Christian village situated in the Bekaa. Some ten days later, 16 Christians were killed and another 23 were injured. Following that, we witnessed the exodus of the Christians towards Zahlé, East Beirut and Jounieh. At the beginning of January 1976, in Damour and Jieh, two Christian towns south of Beirut, the Palestinians and Syrians went so far as to cut the fingers of Christian children to ensure that they never would be able to pull a gun’s trigger. In Damour, at least 300 inhabitants were killed and their churches profaned.

On January 19, 1976, the village of Hoche Barada in the Bekaa was attacked by Palestinians and Muslim Lebanese and completely pillaged and destroyed.

In 1976, the Army of Arab Lebanon, founded by the Palestinians, attacked the city of Aintoura and destroyed it. The attack was led by the Lebanese officer Ibrahim Chahine.

In 1976, the Lebanese officer Samir Abou Zahr led the massacre perpetrated by the Army of Arab Lebanon on the Emir Bechir Barracks in Beirut. During this massacre, Lebanese soldiers and officers were murdered in their sleep.

In 1976, the Lebanese officer Mostapha Sleiman, a member of the Army of Arab Lebanon, led the massacre of the Lebanese population in the city of Chekka.

On March 10, 1976, officer Moiin Hatoum, member of the Army of Arab Lebanon led an attack on the Khyam Barracks. Over 30 Lebanese soldiers were killed.

May 31, 1976, the Syrians invaded Lebanon and established their rule. The invaders pillaged the towns and villages they went through and humiliated the Lebanese population. The Syrians shelled all the regions under Muslim domination. There must have been over 500 victims, mostly civilians.

On March 16, 1977, the date on which the Syrians murdered Kamal Joumblatt, they sent Druze to attack Christian villages. The result: At least 1000 people were massacred. The village of Deir Dourit was erased, with 273 dead.

On February 7, 1978, hostilities started between the Lebanese Army and the Arab Force of Dissuasion, the FAD, with its Syrian majority and under the command of the Lebanese lieutenant Sami Khatib, as a result of the installation of a Syrian barrage near the Fayadieh Barracks, the seat of the Lebanese military commander of Mount Lebanon. The Syrian soldiers insisted on controlling all Lebanese military vehicles entering the Fayadieh Barracks. Theyshelled the residential quarters with Stalin Organs and opened fire on the barracks with MBT guns.Mention must be made that as of that period, Sami Khatib is one of the best Syrian agents in Lebanon. He is responsible for the incarceration of thousands of Lebanese and the disappearance of hundreds of others following their torture.

On June 27, 1978, elements from the “special Syrian forces” dragged out of their beds 30 young men from the villages of Kaa and Ras_Baalbeck and executed them without any form of trial. The man who headed and completed this job was none other than the Syrian officer Ali Dib.

On July 1, 1978, the civilian population of East Beirut and its suburbs were shelled by Syrian artillery and started with the residential quarters of East Beirut. The private militia of Rifaat Assad, brother of the Syrian President, circled the free regions around Beirut. The shelling lasted five days and five nights. Heavy caliber shells were used, from heavy cannon to Kaytusha rockets and including all kinds of mortars (up to 240 mm), rockets andmissiles. According to some obbservers, all sorts of weapon were used, except for aerial bombing. Sixty civilians were killed and over 300 injured.

Beginning 1979, the Syrians bombed East Beirut and the adjoining Christian regions. 82, 120 and 160 mm shells fell on the targeted sectors.

August 1979, the Syrians shell the villages of Niha, Deir Bella and Douma in North Lebanon. On February 24, 1980, Mr. Selim Laouzi, owner and director of the al Hawadess revue, was kidnapped by the Syrians on the road to the Beirut airport. The mutilated and decomposed body of the journalist was found in the Aramoun forest ten days after his abduction. He was shot twice in the head after having been tortured horribly: the ribs on his right side had been crushed by repeated blows with a bar and his right arm was lacerated to the bone, fromhis armpit to his elbow.

In March 1981, the towns of Zahlé in the Bekaa and East Beirut were shelled. In Lebanon, even the Red Cross was a target for the Syrians. Sister [Nun] Marie Sophie Zoghbi was one of the Red Cross ambulance drivers since the beginning of the war. She had forced her way through the front to the south of the town of Zahlé on the Saadnayel road. Alone at the wheel of her ambulance, she’d gone to fetch the dying in Zahlé. The Syrians shot the vehicle, killing her on the spot. The town’s hospital was eradicated by thousands of shells which fell on it during one night. Water, food, and medicines grew rarer and the corpses of some of the wounded who’d died under the shelters couldn’t be evacuated. In all, the fighting had left some two hundred dead and five hundred wounded in Beirut alone. The Palestinians, too, had participated actively in the Zahlé shelling. The Palestinian military commander wasAhmad Ismail.

On July 23, 1980, Riad Taha, president of the press, was killed at Chourane (Raouché) by the Syrians. His car had been sprayed with bullets. Taha was hit by seven bullets in his face, the back of his head and his breast.

These are just some of the thousands and thousands of examples of Arab crimes against humanity. Arab crimes against Jews will persist and perpetuate and then – when there are no Jews left – there will supposedly be peace, and then you will have a perfect example of a problem solved, Islam style.
