Israel Investigating Katyusha Rocket Attack
WSJ reports that Isreal is investigating a pre-dawn launch of "at least one Katyusha rocket which landed near the Jordanian port of Aqaba." Jordan notes the report with passing indifference, and goes back to buying ES and AMZN using Redi and Sigma X.
Explosions and flashes of light were heard in the neighboring Red Sea port city of Eilat, prompting security officials at Israel's Taba border terminal with Egypt to halt operation temporarily, said a spokeswoman for the Israel Border Authority.
Sweeps by Israeli police and soldiers in Eilat turned up no signs of damage in Israel territory from a rocket attack. Qatar news channel Al Jazeera reported that a missile had touched down in Aqaba.
A spokesman for the Jordan government declined to comment on the reports that rockets were fired from Jordanian territory.
If confirmed, it would be the first rocket attack in the Eilat-Aqaba vicinity in four and a half years. In Aug. 2005, militants fired rockets from that landed in Aqaba and near Eilat's airport.

Israel is a pox upon peace and stability. Really, no friend of the US.
You can actually reverse Israel and US in your sentence and deliver a more factual statement.
Yeah, cuz with friends like the US, who needs...oh, wait, the US is Israel's only friend. Ok, there's also Micronesia and Guam (as long as they keep getting their subsidy check from Uncle Sam).
I am Chumbawamba.
Let me get this straight... Some desert hillbillies launch a rocket at Israel (and it lands short of target and hits their own countrymen!!!) and Israel is to blame?
I am perfectly cool with people saying "Israel was a huge mistake, for such and such historical and moral reasons". However, the irrationality and sheer hatred of the "haters" on these chat boards is striking. Clearly, the cockroaches are feeling brave enough to come out of the cracks in larger numbers.
Yep, Israel gets all this hate and derision just because people hate Jews. It has absolutely nothing to do with Israel itself.
I am Chumbawamba.
When someone tries to launch a rocket at Israel (that ends up falling on one's own people, not even making it to Israel) and someone else's knee-jerk response is to say that it's Israel's fault, that is a clear sign of a totally irrational, emotionally-driven response. Now what could be motivating such a response? Fire up those synapses, Chumb.
Anyway, bro, after reading your posts for months, I've not once seen you complaining about the $100-billion-a-year occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan that is costing around 50 lives a day, or about 20,000 a year---most of them civilians. Somehow, Israel is higher on your list. Somehow, Israel is the greatest evil. Why's that?
Should be "Katyusha," a diminutive of the Russian name Katya (roughly like saying "Katie" or "Little Kate")...and much better than saying "Stalin's Organs."
Also, first graf, should be "Israel."
Wow, the green shoots are just rollin' in this morning.
False Flag, attack on self to start a big fight in the schoolyard? Time will tell...
Oh yes, because as everyone knows, every act of war or terrorism directed against Israel (or even so much as a hint or suspicion that one might be coming) is a "false flag" event. Because that country has never been attacked from outside, it has only attacked itself. The entire Arab-Israeli conflict is one giant false flag hoax. The 1948, '56, '73, and '82 wars were nothing more than Israel attacking itself. And remember those Scud missiles that Saddam launched at Israel in 1991? False flag. Just like the 9/11 attacks, Pearl Harbor, the assasination of the Archduke, the Alamo, Thermopylae, etc. etc.
You "false flag" people need to get a grip!
You forgot to mention all the rockets launched from the Gaza strip.
Oh come on, have a sense of humor. To immediately assume Israeli innocence is as crazy as believing George W's WMD argument. Not saying it is true or not, just that you can't trust anything coming out of the MSM relative to that part of the world. It is all purely agenda driven.
Let's hope peace ensues.
Hoping for peace to ensue would be like hoping for Israel to end its occupation of Palestine and to give Arabs full and complete rights within their own homeland.
I am Chumbawamba.
Yeah, well I am still waiting for you Arabs to end your occupation of Byzantine and Aramean Syria, Lebanon, etc. Give the land back to the few remaining direct descendants of the original inhabitants, the Arameans and Assyrians! After all, just because 1000+ years have passed since the majority of them were forcibly Arabicized and Islamicized by an Arab occupation army, does not make it right! And give Turkey back to the Greeks, Lydians, and Armenians! MUSLIM OCCUPATION ENTITIES OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST NOW!!! AND MR. CHUMBAWUMBA, PLEASE EVACUATE YOUR OCCUPIED MEXICAN TERRITORY OF ALTA CALIFORNIA! And pay some reparations to those poor people! Woohoooh!
Can't we all just get along? :)
You can give back AZ, NM and TX, but don't kid about CA. Not funny.
They have more rights there than in any surrounding country that might take them. Oh wait, none of the Arab brothers will take them.
ALL IS WELL!! ALL IS WELL!!

You "false flag" people need to get a grip!
No, Israel would never engage in false flag attacks. No, they use the "no flag" tactic, as in they bomb the USS Liberty and then use the excuse that they didn't see it flying any flags.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
But keep defending that diseased harlot you call a Homeland. When Americans at large learn the truth then there's no place you'll be able to hide. I'll take in Jews to protect them, but you zionists are on your own.
Remember: you reap what you sow, bitch.
I am Chumbawamba.
Wow. Someone needs a girlfriend and some anger management courses, pronto.
From what I heard, Chumb, the only Jews you'll be "taking in" (so to speak) will be in jail, after the Feds convict you for tax evasion.
Do you not think with a name like yours
you may be a bit biased here?
EXACTLY BIG BIG difference between Jews and Zionists, but everyone associates one with the other.
A Zionist is someone who belives in the illegal state of Israel, period and all the lies and deceipt and wars
it takes to protect it
jews expelled over 100 times, i wonder what they did to deserve that?

http://www.iamthewitness.com/
Wow, the roaches are really coming out of the woodwork here.
This is a good point. Jacob you should research both sides of the story before you defend your opinion. If these prove to be false allegations you will be better able to make your case. I don't believe some of the atrocities against Jews were justified, but there were reasons for them. This is about as kind as I can be about this subject.
Iran getting withdrawal symptoms that economic news pushing them out of the sunlight.
This regime needs to have a constant enemy to ensure its hold on power. I wouldn't be surprised that they are trying to get something started to rally the people against a common foe, and take their mind off their non-democratic democracy.
And the market for new cars is booming even in Gaza. Autonation CEO is planning a hige expansion into this developing market:

Are they gonna put rocket launchers on the roof?
That would be cool, just like we have drive by shootings in our country, the Palestinians could have drive by rocket launches from Gaza.
They are experimenting. First they put them on the roof of hospitals and schools. Next will be school buses and Ambulances. They are quite innovative over there.
Khtyusha is a mobile rocket artillery which holds from 14 to 48 rockets depending on the model, the economic crisis must be hitting hard to just fire one rocket.
yes green shoots galore
Just a small point though
If Israel didn't exist we wou;ldn't have any wars
or terrorism seeing as most is carried out by Mossad/CIA
Also our banking stsrem wouldn't be run by Zionist crooks
<<If Israel didn't exist we wou;ldn't have any wars>>
You sound like Mel Gibson.
What about all the wars that took place before Israel, before Jews even existed?
Looks like the cockroaches are coming out of the cracks in larger numbers.
well I think its obvious to anyone with an IQ above 10
that Israel was repsonsible for 9/11
being against Zionists is not being racist
get your facts straight
I never said anyhting about Jews
Israel is owned by the banking elite of the Rothchilds
hence if that faction did not have control we would not have false flags the wars they create and the money systemn
that we are enslaved by
I suggest you do some proper research on what ever hostory you have been taught
The Rothchilds funded both sides on many modern waRS
Funding both the Bolshviks and the Nazis
<,well I think its obvious to anyone with an IQ above 10
that Israel was repsonsible for 9/11>>
I think you just proved your own IQ to be less than 10.
<<,Israel is owned by the banking elite of the Rothchilds>>
Just because David Duke said so on his website, doesn't make it true.
<<The Rothchilds funded both sides on many modern waRS
Funding both the Bolshviks and the Nazis>>
Again, just because David Duke said so on his website, doesn't make it true. Also you might be interested to know that you're arguing with a Russian. And my people know very well that the Bolsheviks funded themselves by shaking down the population and confiscating all privately-held gold. But of course, you're free to think what you want.
Yes, but a large majority of the Bolsheviks were Jews before Stalin purged them from the Party.
"Large majority" is an overstatement. About 40 percent of the original senior civilian ranks of the Bolsheviks were of Jewish decent. Yes, that's a huge number for such a small minority, and this is unfortunately a taboo subject nowadays. But still, not a "large majority".
Wait, so are Jews usurers or commies?
It's taboo nowadays because people like you trying to silence everybody who, even only in your imagination, have something against Israel or Jews. You say only 40% percent, were they top ranks or only simple bolsheviks?
I'm trying to silence who exactly? I'm not silent myself, am I? Yes, the original Bolsheviks were around 40 percent Jewish at the top. The "simple Bolsheviks" were mostly Russians who were ruthlessly conned into fighting in the name of a "minority government" composed mostly of Jews, Georgians, Polaks, and a few others. That having been said, all this stuff about Rothschilds financing the Revolution is made-up nonsense from David Duke's website.
THEY OWN AND BUILT THE KNESSET BUILDING
what more proof of involvemnet than that do you need
also look at the flag its the same design used by the Rothchilds. really you are delusional if youi cannot connect simple dots
The balfour decalaration was signed to HIM
Who you want to silence? Everybody who says something even remotely connected to Israel like "false flag". And no you are not silent, so use your voice to tell us about those gulag times in Soviet Union, time when I've heard millions died, why don't you break that taboo! And forget about Rothschilds for now.
I recommend to you the book by Anne Applebaum. It's all in there.
Ok So I presume you must accept the official story of what happened on 9/11
if so why are you on this site?
go to Yahoo or the bbc
the MSM is controlled by the same people who ultimatley run the US ie the central banks. Follow the money trail for the truth and the money trail always leads to the same place.
I do not take what david Duke says whoiever he is for knwoing that the Rothchilds basically own Israel
I just look at the money trail
Look at the balfour declaration.
If you want to live in a matrix and belive whatever you are told and never want to challenge that view of reality then be my guest but don't knowck others who do not believe everything the sysetm tells them. Think outside the box
free your mind
First, the Rothschilds have been Christian for over 100+ years. Second, can you please be specific.... Can you show me one single major company in Israel that is "controlled" by the Rothschilds? No, because you don't know anything, you are just repeating what you heard someone repeating. Go back to Stormfront.org, kid.
They built the Knesset building
funded all of that
Of course they do not put there name everyhwree
liie they never appear in the Forbes Rich list
. Thye like to lay low
Again please read the balfour declaration
You are embaassing yourself with your
Mainstream view of the world
go back and watch CNN
thats the real world oh yes
Like I said, you cannot name me ONE SINGLE MAJOR ISRAELI COMPANY that is owned or controlled by these Rothschild Christians that you speak about. Not one. Again, you are just repeating what you heard someone else repeating on some website somewhere. You don't know anything.
Yes I have read the Balfour Declaration, and nowhere does it say that the Rothschilds funded the Bolsheviks or that they control Israel, or that 9/11 was a Mossad job.
It is you who is living in a "matrix" of your own construction. You are seriously delusional.
Christian? Oh please stop
you are hurting me with your lies/ignorance
they worship the Kabbala, mystic/occultic Judaism
the very flag of Israel is the family shield of the Rothchilds
Look kid, I read the same David Duke / Stormfront websites as you, so I know where you get all of your "information". You haven't told me anything I haven't heard already. I know your script, kid. And it's all made up.
Get back to me when you can identify one major Israeli company that is owned by any direct descendant of Mr. Rothschild.
You need to put down those conspiracy theory books. You are becoming delusional.
Wow, that has to be the most biggoted and idiotic statement I have read on ZH. ZH would benefit from screening some of the members, this is just sad.
If people didn't exist we wouldn't have any cancer. I see your point.
Speaking of cancer, the Middle East wouldn't have it if Israel weren't where it is.
Time for some chemotherapy.
I am Chumbawamba.
Yeah, right, the Middle East is sick only because of Israel. No other reason. The place would be as rich and civilized as Europe if it weren't for Israel. Sure.
Why don't you go live with your great uncle or whatever in Syria, and see how they treat you over there when you don't pay your taxes or speak out against authority. I imagine you'll be blaming Israel all the way to the firing squad. It's all Israel's fault! HAH!

We often see anti-semitism when nations are collapsing, expose yourself racists !!!
yup. other groups will get the hate as well. a scapegoat is always needed. things aren't gonna be great for illegals here.
Racists are those that discriminate based on race. Since Jews are those who practice worship under Judaism, a religion, I fail to see how those who discriminate against Jews can be called "racists". I think you mean "bigots".
And please point out where the Jew bashing is taking place here. From all accounts, it looks like people are pissed off at a political entity--Israel--which commits war crimes and genocide and presides over the most brutal occupation in modern history.
Now, I will freely admit that I hate and willfully discriminate against zionists, the most filthy degenerate political group to ever stain the face of this beautiful Earth.
Their downfall and ultimate destruction will be my sublime glee.
I am Chumbawamba.
Most likely, it'll be looooong after you're gone, Chumby. People who've placed bets on Israel getting waxed imminently have been loosing their shirts and their lives since 1948.
As for the most "filthy degenerate political group to ever stain the face of this beautiful Earth", that would have to be people who live on occupied land but feel confident in condemning other people who live on occupied land. Yes, I am calling you a hypocrite.
how ther F*ck csan you equate being against Israel as being Racist?
You know you're dealing with a left-wing liberal when the 'Racist' mantra shows its turtle head out their assholes.
Hell, if you even walk down the street and you are conscious of the fact that someone is a Latino or an Asian or White or Black....,
Well, then your a fucking RACIST, so get over it already.
Not to mention the superiority complex from running around trying to point out how everyone but you is a racist.
Man, the anti-semitism is at a feverish pitch these days. Sadly, most Jews have nothing to do with Israeli policy, just like most Americans have little to do with American, or North Koreans have to do with North Korean policy.
If you take a good look at the Rothchild family, they have long ago converted to Christianity (big coup for the Roman Catholic Church). Most Rockefellers are Baptist. But, hey, what the heck... if you can use the religion card to promote your narrow little minds, go right ahead. Most of the elite that are screwing with international wars care not one iota about religion, nationality, or about you and me. They pray to the almighty dollar, and would gladly sell their own mothers if the "NPV" of that decision is positive. All these little international war spats are simply nice ways to sell arms.
Rich
maverick
again how can you equate anti semitism with not agreeing with the Rothchild owned Israel?
Get a grip on reality
DXreizin
If you have any doubt as to owns Israel
take a look at the Balfour Declaration
Nothing more needed to be said
Uhhh, you mean Her Majesty's Government owns Israel? I can't even understand what you're saying. Get back into your cave, and stick to the David Duke and Stomrfront websites. You don't belong here.
Foreign Office, November 2nd, 1917. Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country". I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely Arthur James Balfour
Yabs look behind you...there's a Jew.
Boooo!
Yeah, and Mr. Rothschild's great grandkids "control" which part of Israel, exactly? Which company? Which piece of land? How many $$$ worth of bonds? You can't even present one piece of evidence to back up your ridiculous claims. It's like arguing with an infant.
The knesset building
is the the parliment building
I would say funding/owning that
is quite lets say influential\
You are the one that provides zero prrof of evidence for your argument
provide your version of history
then which doesn't say that the people who control the money supply control EVERYTHING
they do not need private companies
Gee this really is like arguing with a retard
History
The Knesset in winter
The Knesset sits on a hilltop in western Jerusalem in a district known as Sheikh Badr before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and now known as Givat Ram. It was financed by James A. de Rothschild as a gift to the State of Israel. It was built on land leased from the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem.[4]
What do you mean "funding/owning" the Knesset building? Do you mean funding or do you mean owning? The Knesset is owned by the State. Just because rich Jews like Rothschild, Montefiore, etc. etc. funded buildings and public works all over Israel, somehow their evil Swiss-based grandkids "control" the country, even though you can't even name a single Israeli company or a single piece of land that they own? When you say "follow the money", don't you realize that money is in the hands of the banks? So which Rothschild bank owns Israel? You're a moron.
I cannot work out if you are just naive or
, stupid or a Zionist apologist, possibly its all three.
lets look at example of owning / funding
The giant Squid was Obamas biggest Fund raiser.
Now I suppose you think that the squid does not own Obamas arse and he works instead for the good of the people. If you thi nk that you are way worse than a moron.
You have been lobotomised. The squid owns Obmas arse.
If you want to follow ther money trail I suggest you read the books by Estace Mullins such as the creature from Jekyl
Island. Of course they keep there names well hidden
and use agents names for many things but make no mistake they are the masters. They own the FED and if you own or control the money supply who issues the reserve currency odf the world, you basically control the world
and guess what that includes Israel
Please go somewhere else your lack of intellect bores me.
Zionist run The US and the Uk remember it is they that control the money supply with a private central bank
Look at the US fed reserve chairman
yeah right hes not a Zionist
Mel Gibson reads ZH! Sweet. Can someone ban this fool?
ban yourself if you cannot handle the truth
go onto yahoo or msn
watch cnn and cnbc
Why is this story even mentioned on ZH. What relevance does this have? At this rate, let's mention every single international event involving explosives. I find the Greek situation to be a bit more interesting.

goota love Israel
then they make laws to say anyone who is against them
is a rcaist even though Jews themselves are not a race and
Zionists are just people who want to support this
Of course closet Zionist shill aplogist Dreizin will want to dismiss this
buts its ok thats not racism
its only palestianians after all

I guess we now know who is "spying" on this site for their Zionist buddies in goldman sachs
cockroaches are everywhere arn't they Dreizin
can't wait for the system to collapse and we will see how long your ilk survive with 200 billion hungry mouths out for revenge
Yes, there it is, finally you said it. Thank you. I was waiting for you to bring out the "there will be a day of reckoning and your kind will be hanging from lamp posts" rant. Guess what, there was a day of reckoning. It's called the 20th century. The Jews, Zionists, whatever term you want to use----they survived it. And they will survive you. Get over it.
All you need to know about Israel and the Wall Street Journal can be found in this paragraph from Monday’s editorial on Why Israel is anxious about the Obama Administration. Call it a pro-Zionist editorial:
For all the current talk about Israel costing America lives and treasure, the striking fact is that the U.S. has never had to go to war to defend the Jewish state. This is more than can be said for Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Bosnia, Kosovo and the people of Afghanistan and Iraq. That’s because for 62 years Israelis have provided for their own defense, in an alliance with the U.S. that has reflected American values and—in both the Cold War and the war on terror—advanced American interests.
This lie is so staggering that it's almost unbelievable. IOW, you can't depend on the WSJ to give you anything unless it moves through an Israeli filter.
you got it JR
the whole world revolves around it
from the media, Hollywood, banking to plitics to healthcare,
we are all Zionists now
I've noticed the Zio fascist shills have shut up now
How old are you?
old enough to know the truth of what is happening all around me.
I wouldn't worry too much about age but if you are a Zionist apologist come the collpase you won't be getting much older. The Us will eventually wake up to the fact that the Zionist state of israel has raped them. Iwouldn't want to be a zionist then thats for sure
Yeah yeah, again the good old "there's gonna be a reck'nin and y'all goddam Jews, race traitors, and f*ckin' black niggers gonna be hanging from trees". Truly the last resort of the mentally incompetent, of people who are too timid, weak, and "closeted" to put their money where their foul mouth is. You're too much of a goddam pussy to fire the first shot of your Turner Diaries revolution. Waiting for someone else to do it, huh? Pussy.
I don't blame you though, I mean you're just repeating what you heard growing up from your dad, who was an old school bigot. And he heard it from his dad, etc. So it's not like you're to blame. Can't blame a parrot.
you are the one with the foul mouth
I said nothing about Race
I mentioned Zionists, its only your warped mind who equates this with Race. Israels crimes are trueely staggering and when the Americans realize that you did 9/11
and stole their money system hanging from trees will seem
a good way to go compared with how some might react.
Your time is coming
Babylon is Israel everyone knows that
