Israel Warplanes Fly Over Gaza, Bomb Hamas Military Site
Since the apocalypse is obviously priced in the Russell 2000, the market should be able to digest the latest piece roasted glow in the dark swan with barely a hiccup.
- ISRAELI WARPLANES HIT HAMAS MILITARY SITE IN GAZA, XINHUA SAYS
- ISRAELI GAZA ATTACKS INJURE FIVE PEOPLE, AL-ARABIYA REPORTS
- ISRAELI WARPLANES FLYING OVER GAZA, AL-ARABIYA REPORTS
That said, courtesy of the biggest case of headline fatigue in history, at this point absent NASA announcing the imminent destruction of the earth by an asteroid, or a Proxima Centauri supernova (and even that will be bullish as there is precisely 4.2 years of stock market Zimbabwefication before the earth is annihilated), there appears to be nothing that can possibly prevent the Chairsatan from reverse exercising his Russell 2000 put at 36,000.
And from Reuters:
Israel launched five air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Monday after militants shot mortars and rockets at the Jewish state, witnesses and militant groups said.
At least five Palestinians were wounded, two of them children, medics said, in the raids which showed the rising tensions between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza.
Hamas has stepped up rocket fire at Israel after a lengthy hiatus since a war of two years ago, claiming responsibility for the firings of more than two dozen mortars and rockets at the weekend.
Israel killed two Palestinians in Gaza in a separate border confrontation on Saturday, medical officials said.
The Israeli military confirmed one of Monday's air raids, saying several Hamas-affiliated militants were targeted in northern Gaza, as well as a tunnel used to smuggle weapons.
Witnesses in Gaza said Israeli warplanes fire a missile after three mortars were shot at Israel, and the Israeli missile landed harmlessly in a bin for animal feed.
Israel fired four other missiles at as many targets later in the evening, aiming at a Hamas security compound in Gaza City, a training camp north of the city, and a brickworks and metal foundry in northern Gaza, witnesses said.

Mathematically improbable number of white protestant US Presidents. Is that an agenda too?
Mathematically improbable number of black basketball players. Is that an agenda?
Or maybe, JUST MAYBE, there is a cultural preference in play? Maybe JUST MAYBE jewish mothers encourage their children to study hard and move into fields that are high paying, like media and finance?
But hey, it's easier to just wave your hands and say it's all a big conspiracy. I'm sure no-one will think you are crazy, or a racist, and thus discount everything you ever say to them in the future.
Don't mention Jews or the junkers will come and get you , we love Jews, mind you if you go back to the time of " TOTH" and the Emerald tablets you will find out what they did and why everyone can't stand them .
don't confuse religion with utter disgust and disregard for everyone else besides you and yours.
Selfish corruption is independent of god and country
Correct.
>> Mathematically improbable amount of jews in high places, spells agenda.
Correlation does not imply causation.
correlation may imply causation.
correlation does not prove causation.
correlation: 20 mortars from palestinians to israelis, with love 3.18.11.
with: israeli bombs to hamas mil. site, with love, 3.21.11.
measured response. short dance. peck on cheek.
must keep score. no exceptions. ever. keep writing monty python script.
They don't tell you about the three Israeli bombing runs on 3.17.11, do they?
Hate brutal and corrupt governments, not generalized groups of people.
everytime I say that on ZEROHEDGE, I get tons of junks. people....... can anyone just answer this one simple question ! why are there so many jewish people working in government, especially, the U.S. Government ! Why is HENRY KISSINGER still running the show here ! ...... something isn't right here & it's damn obvious ! Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear a foreign government was trying to control the UNITED STATES of AMERICA ! (it's o.k., you can junk me, i won't cry, even tho i am very sensitive old person.)
I think its a legitimate question--and I can also say that if I were to junk a statement like that it is because it (unlike your honest question) implies an orchestrated conspiracy. Just one possible explanation follows:
In the U.S., a country of immigrants, Jewish people came for religious freedom because they were being persecuted elsewhere. The descendents of earlier immigrant populations continue to have a disproportionate representation in government, partially because they were able to obtain capital while it was cheaper, and because they could employ and benefit from the cheap labor of future immigrants. This theory helps also to explain the relative absence of people of African descent (who started with NO rights or capital whatsoever) and Catholic people (who mostly came in later immigrant waves) in positions of power.
Just trying to think of some contextual historical explanations before assuming a conspiracy.
The Irish didn't seem to do to well at ending up in positions of power, despite their huge numbers at the birth of america, you can't say there are a huge number of Irish that ended up in positions of power in the U.S. compared to jews.
The heavy revolving door between washington and wall street can be logically explained too, doesn't mean it's not a conspiracy of evil intentions.
Why? Why is the easy part; they are all grasping demented c***s with major inferiority complexes and a tonne of psychological problems bestowed on them by their grasping mothers, they’re crazy religion and they’re disgusting draconian backward community. The question is not why, its how?
Anyone tried googling the word "jew"? I did it by freak accident one day and heres what i got...
"An explanation of our search results
If you recently used Google to search for the word “Jew,” you may have seen results that were very disturbing. We assure you that the views expressed by the sites in your results are not in any way endorsed by Google. We’d like to explain why you’re seeing these results when you conduct this search.
A site’s ranking in Google’s search results relies heavily on computer algorithms using thousands of factors to calculate a page’s relevance to a given query. Sometimes subtleties of language cause anomalies to appear that cannot be predicted. A search for “Jew” brings up one such unexpected result.
If you use Google to search for “Judaism,” “Jewish” or “Jewish people,” the results are informative and relevant. So why is a search for “Jew” different? One reason is that the word “Jew” is often used in an anti-Semitic context. Jewish organizations are more likely to use the word “Jewish” when talking about members of their faith. The word has become somewhat charged linguistically, as noted on websites devoted to Jewish topics such as these:
Someone searching for information on Jewish people would be more likely to enter terms like “Judaism,” “Jewish people,” or “Jews” than the single word “Jew” In fact, prior to this incident, the word “Jew” only appeared about once in every 10 million search queries. Now it’s likely that the great majority of searches on Google for “Jew” are by people who have heard about this issue and want to see the results for themselves.
The beliefs and preferences of those who work at Google, as well as the opinions of the general public, do not determine or impact our search results. Individual citizens and public interest groups do periodically urge us to remove particular links or otherwise adjust search results. Although Google reserves the right to address such requests individually, Google views the comprehensiveness of our search results as an extremely important priority. Accordingly, we do not remove a page from our search results simply because its content is unpopular or because we receive complaints concerning it. We will, however, remove pages from our results if we believe the page (or its site) violates our Webmaster Guidelines, if we believe we are required to do so by law, or at the request of the webmaster who is responsible for the page.
We apologize for the upsetting nature of the experience you had using Google and appreciate your taking the time to inform us about it.
Sincerely,
The Google Team "
However, just out of curiosity i searched for the words, Spic, Nigger, Taig, Sikh, Muslim etc...and nothing from google telling me how i should be offended.
Well I'll be damned. I just googled "jew" for shits and giggles, and it did just like you said.
Interesting. From the search results, Helen Thomas talking to Playboy:
It's cultural I think. They value certain kinds of achievement and they have pushy parents with high expectations. Same with asians.
The less acceptable aspect is nepotism, and sometimes an arrogance/insularity that leads them to only value the ideas and discourse of other jews. Sometimes I tune into some online political debates happening back and forth between pundits, and you realize that aside from a couple of goy like Andrew Sullivan, it boils down to about 100 jews just debating with each other.
Most liberal arts colleges basically reflect Jewish modes of thought now.
None of this is sinister, but I think it can be unhealthy. Different ways of thinking are drowned out. The PC movement is a prime example.
I think it's also reflected in the current trend in almost every field of analyzing shit to death until the underlying facts lose all meaning. Paralysis of analysis. No convictions, just more questioning. You can rationalize anything.
I see all this and I'm not even a conservative.
Do a search on Rothschild and timeline.
I'll turn that back around with another question: why is it so difficult for you to accept that Jews might possibly have a cultural leaning toward working hard and achieving? Given the amount of prejudice (including, clearly, your own) that they've faced through millennia, doesn't that seem a tad more likely than a vast conspiracy elevating Jews to positions of power? For God's sake, listen to how ridiculous you sound.
None are so blind as those that can't see.
Yep. Certainly not a good thing as US has to back all their peaceful efforts just like today.
We need to cut all ties with israel and stay neutral. No more free money or weapons to them!
anyone notice the disproportionate stench of anti semitism on Zerohedge?
I visit other news blogs and don't smell this garbage.
a certain % are just out for blood....no matter the topic or "cause" under discussion; myself, i am always totally objective & un-biased; ask my fans
"There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. "
For the record, not all jews are Semites.
For instance,Khazars aren't.
For the record you are correct. The Khazars were a Turkic speaking group that adopted Judaism. Hebrews are Semitic people and are the same as tribal Arabs who roamed the hostile land which is today the countries bordering Israel. When Mohamed became a worshiper of the SAME GOD as the Hebrews but had a different twist on how to worship that God he set out to break all to his will. Unlike the Hebrews who didn't slaughter others who believed differently than they, Mohamed directed that those who did not adopt HIS WAYS to have their heads chopped off or taken for slaves. Mohamed's exception was it might be OK to let the Jews live if they paid tribute and professed they were lowly dogs and kept his accounts in order.

The doomer crowd attracts many weirdos.
Gee shocking - NO ONE saw that Israel would use the distractions all over the media (Japan, Libya, et al) to exercise another land grab.
Spare me the Hamas rockets horse shit please.

Wouldn't want to confuse you with the facts
Mr Murdoch's rag... right, stick your "facts" up youre hairy hole.
How about that liberal (or is it progressive this week?) AP?
http://www.aolnews.com/2011/03/19/hamas-fires-missiles-into-israel/
Not that it matters. Facts are so confusing, right?
Facts are many and varied my friend, and there is not a single one that you can propose that will ever sway my mind on this situation. See, i have lived through a similar situation, i know all about the presentation of facts in the press- there are never just facts alone, NEVER. Always an agenda, ALWAYS!
P.s lol AOL? It's jewish too. (Not that i gave a fuck)
You are so wise and experienced. Why did I waste my time with facts. So wasteful.
I'm sure your hatred of all things jewish is so wise and something else.
BTW, the article was not AOL, but AP. But, that would have required pushing a button to find out.
Mental laziness fits you well.
No, you are wrong, i don’t hate jews, i am sorry if i came across that way. It just pisses me off the way they clumsily try to control opinion and shape debate, it‘s too obvious to be denied anymore, and it just gets on my tits.
For every race on earth there are another group or race of people that are ready and willing to slander them(look at the Irish for fuck sake, how many Irish jokes can you find?), but not all of them try to corner the press and brainwash people into thinking that any grievance against jews is to be treated with grave seriousness and directly relates back to they're treatment at the hands of Nazi's half a century ago.
We dont try to convince the world that we can do no wrong and that we are being eternally persecuted, thats a big mistake, that’s a big fucking mistake, and an insult to the people who bailed you out. Nazi Germany is long gone, i had relatives who fought and died to see it through, but Isreal is strong now, hence it must also be accountable…and it will be. So if someone wants to hate jews, thats ok, who gives a fuck, its not some conspiricy of hate based on lies and anti-jew propaganda, its based on what you are up to this very moment.
I wanted to save this for posterity, it's so bad it's good :)

Hamas has everyone fooled, it doesn't really have a military, but if Israel says it has a military site, then it must be true.
One of the greatest problems with almost any conflict is that most "reporting" comes from the army itself. In these situations in Israel/Gaza, the US media stories almost always come via the IDF. Just like in Afghanistan and Iraq they come from the Pentagon.
These headlines will continue to be held at bay as long as the promise of millitary and economic intervention looms.
Not a single headline has actually been good but stocks rally in a breadthless session.
The only good news to come from all of this is that we now have a canary in the mine. We don't have to wait for QE to come to its ultimate conclussion. If JPY crosses 79, it will signal that central bankers around the globe simulataneously had their dicks go limp at which point the game will be over.
Keep the vol options on as insurance and be ready to short the whole world. Keep some dry powder too cause even gold will hit the skids in the first wave as the bankers lose control of the front end of the curve.
Hold the gold but keep enough supplies and money to survive the short term. Gold will be revalued much higher at a later date.

what's the surprise? that Union Pacific Railroad was the first publicly traded company or that's it's "going stronger today than it was when it was first founded"? And I'm not being a wise-ass when I ask "you tell me"? This is my serious face. Really.
Futures up.
Guess we know who the real sociopaths are.
The action seems opportunistic.
As did Hamas letting loose some ineffective rockets.
Is is not reasonable to assume that Hamas is infiltrated?
Surely their best tactic here was to wait in the long grass.
Not an asteroid, comet Elenin. But is it really a comet...But NASA is not going to announce it. Not until it's clearly visible in the sky, some time around Sept. 11th...

That was a primal scream, Tyler, and I feel that same pain.
But I couldn't have put it so well. No matter how hard I tried.
Nice scream.
No conspiracy theory from me about Israel and the wars breaking out.
Hamas has been sending hundreds of rockets into Israel for days now. Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. Iran has been supplying them. Iran is trying to turn the Middle East angst against Israel and they're not shy about being obvious with it. The Muslim Brotherhood wants control of MENA towards a transnational Caliphate. Keep. eye. on. ball.
Of special concern meantime, is how Obama and the UN have now co-opted the US military as a transnational enforcer. Obama did not consider deploying the US military for the interests of the USA, or, to even consult the US congress for approval.
Instead, Obama acted on behalf of the interests of the UN, on approval of the UN, before committing the US military to the UN goals in Libya. Muammar is a bad guy, but this sets a very bad precedent and erodes national sovereignty and that of all other countries. Whose military is next to be co-opted in the future for the UN, or, find themselves arm twisted or the target of a UN attack?
.
it is the ultimate in jingoistic arrogance and ignorance to proclaim that an Arab nation populated by Muslims is somehow surprising or dangerous? Who the fuck should an Arab nation be populated by? Umpa-Lumpas?
Whaaaaat? The Umpa-Lumpas?! Not again!
Obama 12/20/07 "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."
He said that before he was President...but now that he is President...well...it's fun to be king.
Power is quite the aphrodisiac.

Yes indeed.
Before and after. What a surprise.
"it started with an attack on a Russian airport." whoever said that struck me as....
Hamas has been sending hundreds of rockets into Israel for days now.
all that needs to be said
something tells me the joo haters that don't think Israel has the right to defend itself
are also the ones who would try to strip our 2cd amendment rights away if they could
I remember what Hitler did to be able to make a clean sweep of the jews, anyone parroting his beliefs would do the same

Well, I think we probably will indeed get more bad news about a nearby star shortly.

If we detect a supernova from a star 4.5 light years away, it means the photons of light are here.
The massless gamma rays & x-rays will arrive with the light. No warning.
Now the cosmic rays, which are mostly protons, would be a week or two behind for the lucky ones to be around.
That sort of idea has struck me and troubled me.
We, evolved with technology, have now the ability to see what happened, what, two/three billion years ago?
Those events are obviously long gone.

Netanyahu has commenced the new AIPAC agenda.
Symbolically, these are not Israeli war planes; they are U.S. planes, bought and paid for by U.S. taxpayers… used with the unsaid encouragement of the United States Congress, a bought and paid for body directed by Zionist organizations in the United States.
And this bombing of Hamas is the beginning of a brand new AIPAC agenda. As M.L. Rosenberg recently analyzed, the Middle East “democracy revolutions that are sweeping the Arab world” in recent months have brought a new agenda for AIPAC (Translation: the way forward for Netanyahu with an Egypt minus Mubarak and a weakened Palestinian peace effort after the Palestinian Papers revelations).
This approach, as Rosenberg explains, will be to use use the old “there is no partner” mantra, so Israel can “preserve an ugly and deadly status quo.”
Says Rosenberg, “At this rate, the Israeli government and its lobby will soon be back to its old mantra (1948-1977) that ‘there is no such thing as the Palestinian people’ at all.”
The back-and-forth border clashes are excellent opportunities for the occupying power to use its far superior military hardware to smash its victims from the air when these victims have absolutely no way to protect themselves.
All this, as the world tries U.N. resolution after U.N. resolution to deal with the problem; all to no avail because a superpower stands ready to be ordered to veto, sit down, shut up and pay up.
At the same time, Israeli Defense Minister Barak has ordered a full cut-off of US and international aid to the Palestinians and is “requesting” another $20 billion in U.S. aid to Israel
Reference: http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/03/2011314135126922189.html#
50 years from now the Dept. of Education would be doing its part to ensure that American children are taught that Palestinians invaded peaceful Israel.
Fuck AIPAC. This can't last much longer before the nukes launch.
talk about chain reaction...from fukushima to libya...I'm sure O'b will drop a bomba in Venezuela to make the chain longa...
When do we impose the no fly zone over Israel/Gaza?

Whoa now...lets not get hasty here...they buy alot of hardware from the US, don't want to cut into my profit zone. Or perhaps I should say the US govt buys alot of hardware for them...
no credit for reading minds -it's totally obvious to those who care about the truth.
Amen - won't happen though, unless Netanyahu approves it. barak Obamastein knows his place in the pecking order.
Tyler,
i most crtainly do love your way with word...
I agree. Tyler you have elevated my awareness.
ZD Cab Sav couple of NY Strip Steaks and thinking about going long on ordinance companies....things could get really bizay!
So Israel just bombed Hamas in Gaza...
Looks like it's time for my fav. prez to take a follow up vaca. before arbitrarily bombing Egypt.
Like the other thread that ZH canned... I guess it's binary here...
good job Israel
hopefully you got one of the pieces of shit that cut up the baby last week

WHEN PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE,.. THEY LOSE IT.
Thanks IDF for taking just 24 hours to prove my point from yesterday.
If Libya is going to be under a UN imposed no fly zone for targeting "innocent civilians" with war planes so too should Israel be under a no fly zone as it has been been targeting "inocent civillians" with its war planes for decades.
"At least five Palestinians were wounded, two of them children"
tell the guys with the rockets to get out from behind the children
and less children will get killed
and try, although I know it's hard for you, but try- to shed a tear for the Israeli children caught in rocket and suicide bomb blasts
try
how about telling the guys with the planes to stop dropping bombs on kids? nice try at justifying child killing creed but here are the facts. 1452 dead arab children vs 124 dead isreali children since 2000. Israel does 92% of the child killing and almost all of it is done by warplanes. Unlike you i don't differentiate between which children it is ok to kill and which ones its not. It all needs to stop.
Big difference between Israeli soldiers & Arab soldiers
Israelis stand in front of women & children to protect them
Arabs stand behind women & children to protect themselves
Little wonder more Arab women & kids get killed, hmmm?
Gee, I wonder why the guys shooting rockets into Israeli set up camp in a neighborhood filled with families knowing they might get bombed by Israeli jets for rocketing Israel? Same as it always was.
creed, i thought we were talking about children? You lost that argument and now you want to talk about soldiers?
its ok, every one here on the site now knows you are a racist zionist who supports child killing.
thanks for playing.
The Israelis were among the first to use women as soldiers. Here is the latest truth of what the Palestinians are up against.
Remote-Control Killing: The Spot-and-Shoot Game | CounterPunch | July 13, 2010 by Jonathan Cook
Nazareth
It is called Spot and Shoot. Operators sit in front of a TV monitor from which they can control the action with a PlayStation-style joystick.
The aim: to kill terrorists.
Played by: young women serving in the Israeli army.
Spot and Shoot, as it is called by the Israeli military, may look like a video game but the figures on the screen are real people -- Palestinians in Gaza -- who can be killed with the press of a button on the joystick.
The female soldiers, located far away in an operations room, are responsible for aiming and firing remote-controlled machine-guns mounted on watch-towers every few hundred metres along an electronic fence that surrounds Gaza.
The system is one of the latest “remote killing” devices developed by Israel’s Rafael armaments company, the former weapons research division of the Israeli army and now a separate governmental firm.
According to Giora Katz, Rafael’s vice-president, remote-controlled military hardware such as Spot and Shoot is the face of the future. He expects that within a decade at least a third of the machines used by the Israeli army to control land, air and sea will be unmanned. …
The Spot and Shoot system -- officially known as Sentry Tech -- has mostly attracted attention in Israel because it is operated by 19- and 20-year-old female soldiers, making it the Israeli army’s only weapons system operated exclusively by women. …
Audio sensors on the towers mean that the women hear the shot as it kills the target. …
Jonathan Cook is a writer and journalist based in Nazareth, Israel.

Ah, the bravery of being out of range.
I guess the dozen or so rockets is an even payback for
Israel dropping 4 million antipersonal cluster bombs lebanon (made in the US of A) in the last 48 hours of the 2006 conflict.
Dropped in farm fields, orchards, village streets, school playgrounds. A hit on the ones tossing the rockets? No, target was civilians. Children etc.
Coupled with Tanks, F15s etc, Ya, fair fight.
Google it.
I did google. Nato uses them also. Lots of them.
Israel is ok because they weren't bombing their own civilians. The US does it all the time in Pakistan..it's ok when it's someone else's...get with the program!
I.O.K.W.I.D.I.
The janitor in the WAMMO stockade (weapons/ammo) noticed that on all the mortar boxes it says "Use by March 31st, 2011"
Would these be the F-14's that have a distinct "Made In America" logo on the afterburner?
lol at you hypocrites
no one wants to address a little baby and his entire family cut to pieces up close and personal by your heroic Palestinian brothers...just last week? they used knives, I hear it was fucking horrible
anyone?
yeah, ok, random guided missles from 10,000 ft.; routine abduction and torture vs. knives and shitty rockets made from gunpowder and scrap and you're calling us hypocrites?
heroic palestinian brothers?
how far up your ass can you stuff your head on any given day? just curious.
It was indeed horrible and I hope they catch the murderers.
But collective punishment not only violates the geneva convention, but it is ineffective and ultimately self-defeating.
Besides, that was in the West Bank. This airstrike is collective punishment for a rocket barrage from Gaza a couple of days ago.

Let's go ahead and protect the Libyans (what a TOTAL lie) while we strafe the Bahainians. O-shucks......did you hear about THAT..... fuck-no you brainwashed _______
From news reports, the Fogel family lived in a fenced Jewish settlement of Itamar, located on the Palestinian West Bank.
“But even before the full investigation into the murders had been launched, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a massive expansion of illegal Jewish-only settlements in the occupied West Bank, punishing the Palestinians for what he termed ‘incitement,’" according to the article, Mystery Surrounds Murder of Jewish Family at Itamar. A Senior aide to Prime Minister Netanyahu declared: "The Palestinian leadership must be held accountable for continued incitement and failure to stop the glorification of murderers."
From M.J. Rosenberg: AIPAC’s Latest Strategy (March 15, 201l
"Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu is being heavily criticised in Israel for his blatant exploitation of the murder of five members of one family (including three children) at the Itamar settlement near Nablus. Particularly egregious has been Netanyahu's demand that president Mahmoud Abbas personally appear on Palestinian radio and television to condemn the killings, although Abbas had issued an unusually strong statement as soon as he heard of the tragedy.
"Forget for a minute that no one knows who committed the crime and that certainly no one believes that the killer was associated with Abbas. Also, lay aside the fact that Netanyahu has never condemned or even expressed remorse over the killing of 300 plus Palestinian children by the IDF during the Gaza war. (In fact, one would be hard pressed to find any Israeli government that ever even criticised the killing of Palestinian children by the IDF, although many hundreds have been killed over the last decade).
"None of that is anything new. What is new is Israel's decision to libel the Palestinian Authority (and not just Hamas) which until very recently has been praised by Israel as its partner. That change became evident during the last month when AIPAC (Israel's lobby in America) started attacking Abbas and the PA, returning to the style of the bad old days when the lobby viewed all Palestinians as one and the same: as enemies of Israel,".

Thank you, JR
At least there are some people out there who care to dig a little deeper.
ill address it for your creed since you are to stupid and hate filled to work it out. It is bad parenting to riase your kids on someone elses land that you stole illegally and by force. I wouldn't raise my family on stolen land for exactly this reason. Obviously the victims of this theft are going to be angry and want justice for their suffering. Since they are denied justice they take things into their own hands. If these settlers didnt live on Palestinian land this would never have happenned.

WTF...GM lays off 'ees? "59 of the 623 workers at the engine plant will be affected. Workers will get around 75 percent of their pay while they're laid off." What kind of f--king deal did we give -27the union after we gave them the freeking company over the bondholders. Geesh!
good old fashion poetry:
it's true there were better ones. that led their people. to lead their country. who cared for this world.
but who are we to change.without the strength of all???
the nations will crumble!
feed lies for war bring the nation to it's knees.
risking worldy
structure and integrity.
the balance of our kind controlled by hatred, distorted truth and lies. united is the only way to stand.
leaders of the free world lead into the land of the un-free.
god sent politics hammered down with a fist too bold. play the
council of pawns in the quest of total control.
free us from this hate.
take over the world, does hate meed
freedom?
divide our home. does hate mean freedom?

Little known fact: american indian men have the largest penises and jewish men make the best lovers.
I am Tonto Goldstein
Apparently because you only fuck the dead.
I am complimenting Jews and American Indians as we have both been fucked on occasion. Beyond that, my only comment to you, sir, is that I have a big cock and I fuck good. Very scary avatar, btw. You appear to be very threatening.
Patronizing has got you a long way so far. See how long it lasts in future. You have nothing in common with American Indian. You have no discernable honor.
"Patronizing has got you a long way so far. See how long it lasts in future. You have nothing in common with American Indian. You have no discernable honor."
Stick around and watch me work. You don't even know who I am, yet.
Just because your daddy is mossad doesn't worry me. I have many hungry mouths to feed and we don't care if kosher.

EDIT: I'm assuming you are going with #1. If so, you are mistaken. 25 weeks on this site does not make one an expert on another individuals psyche. "Things aren't always what they appear."
patronizingpresent participle ofpa·tron·ize (Verb)
1. Treat with an apparent kindness that betrays a feeling of superiority. 2. Frequent (a store, theater, restaurant, or other establishment) as a customer. DOUBLE EDIT: You have identified me as a Jew. and I thought you were just misreading my stupid jokes. You fail. That means you are ignorant. Dumb.You continue to patronize me as you attack. I don't really care how you describe your presence on the internet. It is obvious you are are serving some paid entity. I also don't care if you are a jewish or just shill. I have known, loved and hated more jewish people than I care to remember. I have also knowm muslims. shinto, buddhists, and of course thousands of christians. It is mostly the jewish who would betray me. But carry on with your agenda and if I have time I will respond(attack).
Yes, I am serving some paid entity - my wife..whom I am cooking dinner for right now. So let's find more ways to point out your ignorance in the future, shall we? I hate to drop one on you and have to run, but the coals are hot. Feel free to use the "coals are hot" bit in your retort, btw.
And for what it's worth, you might want to save your "hate" for the right target. I'm not the Jew you so rabidly search out. Many who post on this board will attest to that. I am just the Village idiot - exposing ignorance and misguided hatred, wherever I can. Lastly, you started with the negative banter, not me. Like I give a shit.
Your avatar suggests idiot and you play the part. I don't believe anything you portray as your personal life or anyone elses here. I believe you will post all night as you are not from the United States. You started with the zionist propaganda and I hope it tastes good as you eat it for now and forever.
Sorry my replies have to be so short, I've got pork ribs on the grill and my wife is yelling from the other room. You are delusional like the scary guy above the curtain in the movie Wizard of Oz, which your avatar resembles the head of.

Ok, here's the joke:
A man gets on a plane and by chance, sits down next to a beautiful woman. After a while the man looks over and asks, "Excuse me, but you seem to be very involved in your work, do you mind if I ask what you do?" The woman responds, "Well, I'm a public speaker." "What kind of speaking do you do," the man asks.
"I speak on all subjects sexual in nature. On this trip, I'll be discussing the fallacies surrounding male sexual prowess. As an example, many people believe that African American men have the largest penises, but in reality it is the American Indian. Also, you probably think that French men are the best lovers, when in fact, it is Jewish men."
The woman begins to blush as the man sits there listening intently. "Please forgive me for being so forward," the woman says, "I don't even know your name!" The man replies with a slight pause, "Oh, my name? Tonto Goldstein...nice to meet you."
I would warn any and all that the ultimate goal of those who would destroy us is to destroy our culture and values. It talks of its penis because it has none.
"It talks of its penis because it has none."
In this regard, yes, I am patronizing you.
non sequitur, ad hominem, has no argument basically.
I have bigger genitalia then you, there is no argument.
patronizingpresent participle ofpa·tron·ize (Verb)
1. Treat with an apparent kindness that betrays a feeling of superiority.
In your mouth maybe. But I suppose that is the gist of your argument. I am always suspicious when two people argue on one of thes forums that they are not the same person arguing with each other. I would only agree with you on one of your posts about being angry. This we have in common. I am not being paid to answer so you will probably get the last word. I would have liked if you had something positive to offer but maybe I missed something.
Yes we are both angry. You are angry at the wrong person. Focus your anger towards the real culprits whether they be Jewish, Christian, Bankers, whatever. Don't walk in here and just start indiscriminately shooting at anything you see. I have been railing against the machine around here for for more almost two years. You don't have a clue as to who I am. And, btw, I am not who you accuse me of being. You can accuse me of being a cocksucker, but your blanket anger towards "Jews" is misguided. it makes you look ignorant. Invalidates most everything coming out of your mouth. You seem like an intelligent individual to me. Focus.
