JERUSALEM — Israeli forces killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians and destroyed thousands of Gaza Strip homes in attacks that amounted to war crimes, Amnesty International charged Thursday, in the first in-depth human rights group report on the recent war in Gaza.
Amnesty called on Israel to publicly pledge not to use artillery, white phosphorus and other imprecise weapons in densely populated areas. And it urged Gaza's militant Hamas rulers to stop rocket fire against Israeli civilians — attacks it also described as war crimes.
Israel and Hamas both denounced the report as unbalanced. Israel charged that Amnesty "succumbed to the manipulations of the Hamas terror organization" and Hamas accused the rights group of downplaying the scale of the destruction Israel left behind.
Amnesty — which first accused Israel of war crimes shortly after the fighting ended on Jan. 18 — said "disturbing questions" remain about why high-precision weapons like tank shells and air-delivered bombs and missiles "killed so many children and other civilians."
The group deplored Israel's use of less-precise artillery shells and highly incendiary white phosphorous in built-up areas. It also accused Israeli forces of using Palestinians as "human shields" and frequently blocking civilians from receiving medical care and humanitarian aid.
The pattern of Israeli attacks and the high number of civilian casualties "showed elements of reckless conduct, disregard for civilian lives and property and a consistent failure to distinguish between military targets and civilians and civilian objects," Amnesty International charged.
More than 1,400 Palestinians, including more than 900 civilians, were killed during the three-week offensive, according to Gaza health officials and human rights groups. Israel, which launched the war to halt years of rocket and mortar attacks on its southern communities, puts the death toll closer to 1,100. It says the vast majority of the dead were militants, though it has refused requests to provide a list of the dead.

Amnesty International has a lofty goal, much like “End Hunger” and about as attainable. Yea, Israel killed many civilians, but what choice did they have, AI admitted that the cowardly Muslims hide behind innocent women and children. Israel used artillery and white phosphorus, both are destructive; however, neither TARGETS civilians. Hamas uses homicide bombers that DO target women and children: equating the 2 sides is incomprehensibly stupid, unless you work for an organization that sees all violence as evil.


Thinking pretty thoughts doesn’t safeguard freedom, a Marine standing on a piece of dirt saying, “This is my responsibility, you gotta kill me to take it.” is exactly what wins wars. If you cannot stomach the thought of how that Marine got there or what he is trained to do to keep his patch of land, avoid discussions of the price of freedom, and avoid demanding your freedoms be safeguarded.


I hate Islam. And I dislike with fervor those that think diplomacy brings peace.

Ruth Madoff broke her silence Monday when she said in a statement that her husband "stunned us all with his confession and is responsible for this terrible situation in which so many now find themselves."

She fails to include in her shockedness the $2.5million she is begging to keep. Guess where that $2.5million came from, bitch!


The confession "stunned" Ruth, not the fraud. She would rather have continued swindling investors and spending the money on whatever her black heart desired. Bernie did this for decades, Ruth knew, Ruth had to know; but proving she knew would be tough. As is, let her waste away in humiliation and “relative” poverty. Bitch.

Sensitivity has never been my strength, misanthropy is more my game. “You gotta dance with who brung ya’.” So, here’s the rundown of what I think on various issues as of late:

1. Farrah is dead, died of ass cancer – tough way to go. She openly admitted to rejecting treatments that might prolong life but might also cause loss of her beloved hair, good decision? I’m no fan of blonds, Farrah included, but dying sooner to prolong one’s hair-edness? The definition of “retarded” might have just been amended.

2. Michael Jackson is dead and I’m OK with that. Few child molesters die to such fan-fair. I never liked his music; I ain’t running out to buy his collective works. My guess is that the true nature of the freak will be made more public now, and the world will stand again bewildered that such a thing as Michael Jackson could flourish in our midst.

3. Al Franken will soon be “Senator Al Franken”, and in an Obama Presidency, I can think of few less surprising things. Franken’s ascension to Senator status runs hand-in-hand with Ahmadinejad’s re-election, proving that theocratic governments suffer many the same ills as democracies: those who can justify any action with an intended result will always take advantage of those not willing to fight for their personal freedoms – and votes. If the end justifies the means, in your mind, stay the hell away from me.

4. Darius Rucker – formerly of “Hooty and the Blowfish” - is now making country music, and it ain’t bad.

5. In Pearl, Mississippi, divorce can be had for $402 – or so says a billboard in downtown Pearl. Marriage today is cheap, and divorce in Pearl Mississippi is $402 – in case you were wondering.

6. Hussein’s infomercial on ABC last week got few viewers but was still hailed as a victory. Our national media has taken one giant step closer to an “in-the-pocket” propaganda machine expressly dedicated to disseminating Hussein’s dream – of utterly destroying our nation.

7. The economy is showing signs of not improving, Obama is still blaming Bush’s policies, unemployment is still growing, the federal government is still spending incomprehensible amounts of money, and industry is now officially suffering as money to borrow is getting more expensive, since our government is borrowing so much. And, with all this, the huge tax increase that is sure to come hasn’t yet been felt. It will get far worse.

8. And, perhaps the singular ray of sunlight in all this: ammo is becoming more available! And I am buying lots! The zombie apocalypse cometh, and zombies aren’t vanquished by liberal speak-ease.



And I got a new car.
And it kicks much ass.

Iran’s government hates the US; how the people feel, who knows, they lack the balls to say.

With the Presidential election 10 days ago, and the ensuing “fraud”, Iranians are at that old, familiar cross-roads: accept life in subjugation or risk losing life in freedom.

I find humor in the current crisis and the fact that Iranians are asking the West to intervene – in their “democratic” process. We’ve made the mistake before, many times, and with unusually bad consequences.

Our ace in the proverbial hole is the President Ball-less Obama (there is no “balls” in “Obama.”) His foreign policy is worse than Jimmy Carter’s; he’ll intervene just after Iran annihilates Israel, and his intervention will be to ask them to please not annihilate anyone else. And he’ll apologize on behalf of all Americans, for something, anything.

Israel is on edge.
Whitey is on edge.
Financial markets are on edge.

The only ones not concerned about the future are terrorists and welfare recipients; for them, times couldn’t be better!

The Ted Kennedy-authored S.909, also known as the “Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act" could soon be coming to a church, court, or private opinion near you.

According to the bill:

1. “Sexual orientation” is protected under federal law – including pedophilia, incest, necrophilia, and a few hundred other sexual deviances.
2. Referring to any “sexual orientation” as a “sexual deviance” will be considered hate speech.
3. Condemning homosexuality based on faith or preference will be defined as “intimidation”.
4. A pastor, quoting anti-gay scripture, or preaching an anti-gay sermon, could be prosecuted for “conspiracy to commit a hate crime”, or for “inciting violence against gays.”



“That can’t possibly be true!”,right?

The bill has the vigorous support of Senate Democrats and the President. And 58% of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction.

If you can find it, buy more ammo!

A headline today from al reuters.


Yea, Hitler wanted to wear the “I love Jews” mantle, but the whole holocaust thing got in his way.

That Obama even considers this plausible is a slap in the face of every tax-paying American.
