Well, 2009 is starting off with a bang!an 2, 2009 1:15 | Updated Jan 2, 2009 1:59 IDF kills top Hamas terror sheikh Rayyan
Israel stepped up the pressure on Hamas on Thursday and dropped a one-ton bomb on the home of one of the group's top five leaders, Sheikh Nizar Rayyan, killing him and a reported 18 others as the IDF made final preparations for a ground operation expected in the coming days.
. . .
Rayyan was both the director and the financier of the 2004 terror attack at the Ashdod port, which killed 10 Israelis, and in October 2001 he sent his son to perpetrate a suicide attack in the Gush Katif settlement Elei Sinai, where two Israelis were killed. [emphasis added]
Ah, a brilliant plan for Chaos.I'm crossing my fingers for the death of more Hamas leaders and the death of the Zionists currently running the country of Israel. We need both gone if there is ever to be peace.

Have you ever considered just picking a side?
So, what you're saying, is that encouraging both sides in a conflict is helpful.If he did he'd be one more idiot who isn't helping.

The mind boggles.
Please provide as single example of a Moderate (by reasonable Western Standards) Muhammadan Leader in Palestine with significant political power, i.e. the power and authority to negotiate.Yes and No. The solution to the Middle East problem will come from moderates willing to negotiate down to the last grain of sand. Not those who 'pick a side' and stick to it. Israel has already shown itself to be willing to negotiate. It's the turn of the Palestinians and has been for a while now. All Israel can do is defend herself and wait.
Well, 2009 is starting off with a bang!
It amazes and disgusts me that these savage leaders are willing to send their progeny to explode, but are reluctant to explode themselves.
It's one thing to talk about the political ramifications of the death of someone, it's another to celebrate the killing of another human being. I find this thread distasteful.

So you won't be attending the party where we dance on his grave? I've been practicing my Tango!It's one thing to talk about the political ramifications of the death of someone, it's another to celebrate the killing of another human being. I find this thread distasteful.
Cause I like to watch things die...from a distance
God is his judge now. I have to remark, though, that's 1 Hamas Official in 250+ dead.

Seriously though, this is what Humans do, didn't you know?
Only because the cowards hide among the civilian population rather than coming out to fight like men. But you can't expect much from a pig so their people suffer.
Does the civilian population support what Hamas is doing?
It is part of the package, yes.So this is what happens when you "pick a side"...
Pretty much so, by all accounts I've ever heard.Does the civilian population support what Hamas is doing?
It is part of the package, yes.
Perhaps another time I would state it with more elegance, but frankly, I just don't have the patience any more.
Being free, and trying to support some modicum of justice in the world means getting your hands dirty, and occasionally bloody. I don't like it. I'd rather it were different. But the fact is that this is how it is done, and I have no more tolerance for people who believe that sublime thought will deter committed evil.
So yes, while I don't celebrate the death of an individual as a person, I certainly celebrate their death of some as a force.
Stated with minimal elegance, I could mourn their lost potential and regret their decision to embrace murder for personal aggrandizement, but I will support their extermination in preference to the more or less innocent.
Sadly, this can be part of what it means to pick a side. And if you do not, then you simply shift the burden of your part in the fight to others. You cannot however shift your responsibility.
Astounding.We're on a debate forum and freedom is precisely the reason you shouldn't "pick a side". By limiting your view to one side you're wasting your freedom and becoming a part of the problem.
Astounding.
How, prithee, dost one debate, yet picketh not a side?
One who taketh not a cause, is a spectator, or serf, awaiting the time they they becometh a victim.
