A stray tank shell killed twenty two people in Beit Hanoun this night, many of the killed women and children. There is nothing but grief now in many Beit Hanoun families.
The human cost of Hamas’ murderous behavior is growing. We all know that the cost will continue to grow until the launching of Qassams stops and our kidnapped soldier is returned home safely.
Instead of choosing an opportunity to build their own future in peace, the people of Gaza have chosen a gang of terrorists to sell this future for a mirage. Nothing but blood and tears will come of following their blind hatred and fanaticism, fueled by their paymasters in Damascus.
And the cost will continue to grow.

I’m curious. Since you are such a die-hard and biased supporter of Israel can you please explain or justify the actions taken by many Orthodox Jews against those who were hassled over a Gay Pride Parade. I would expect more integrity from a group of people who have experienced hate because of a select and idiotic few. Are the Jews above being held accountable for their narrow-minded and hypocritical ways? Instead of constantly taking the “Woe are the Jews” approach maybe you can promote your people to be more cultured and accepting of others.
Although the above completely violates the comments policies here, and although the above is yet another example of the same shit being asked over and over again of every Jew in and out of the blogosphere, I have approved it.
Because I know Snoopy wants to answer Jerome.
See, all I want to do is tell Jerome to go fuck off, because it’s obvious he hasn’t read anything else on this weblog, not even the post I wrote taking the Haredim to task over the Gay Pride Parade.
Because Jerome isn’t really interested in the answers. He is only interested in bashing Jews on this platform.
Which is why I want to tell him to go fuck off.
Perhaps I will.
Let’s see, Jerome, whether you are interested in seeing the answer(s).
1. Re the ” die-hard and biased supporter of Israel” – I live here (“there” for you), so I am naturally a supporter. Biased is in the eyes of the beholder. Should be proved in any case, not that I have seen some proof from you.
2. I (like Meryl, who owns this blog) do not support the “actions” taken by the ultra-Orthodox Jews in regard of the pride parade. I may have my doubts re the reasonableness of the parade, but now that it is decided upon I will support it.
3. Re your “I would expect more integrity from a group of people…” – you might make an effort to understand that, being a fairly large “group of people” (a nation actually) we have all kinds, and all kinds of opinions are allowed. Whether you (or I) like this fact or not. I am sure that your own nation (whichever it may be) is not precisely homogenic. If you are an American, I could remind you the bombings of abortion clinics and lots of other stuff you may prefer not to talk about.
4. The last, but not the least: “Instead of constantly taking the “Woe are the Jews— – WTF are you talking about? You may want to take a look at our blog over there at SimplyJews before you come up with such a “judgment”.
The IDF is investigating whether it was one of their tank shells. It is unlikely that a single tank shell from a trained crew would be off-target by a half-kilometer. This may be a “work accident” or other problem with Hamas’ weapon deployment.

By the way, Jerome, does your manager know you’re posting from work?
Because I do.
Right down to your address.
I know the companies in Richmond fairly well.
Are you in Building 1 or 3?
“Are you in Building 1 or 3? ”
Eeeep! So… um… can you also tell what I am wearing, Meryl?
cond0010, don’t push your luck: there is so much the Elders know and see that you really don’t want to test it ;-)
I’m not quite as all-knowing as that. But I’ve been temping in Richmond for two years, and I’ve worked for a lot of different companies, both downtown and in the West End.
The IP address tells me who he works for. My own experience tells me the rest. Plus, I happen to know that company policy doesn’t allow employees at that particular company to use the internet at all, except for company business.
Chsw – I hope against hope that you are right. However, if you are, it is too late anyway. IDF spokesman and other VIPs have already apologized for the deed, as it frequently happens even when IDF is not the guilty party.
You can call this behavior stupid (because this is what it is), but it is a fact.
“there is so much the Elders know and see that you really don’t want to test it”
hmmmm… well, just tell me which way to turn so I can face the hidden camera.
cond0010 – you must be aware that cameras are so XX century for the Elders.
And I hope I sounded sinister enough…
