When the deluded fools of the Right say ignorant crap it doesn't surprise me. That's what they do. Say ignorant crap like history will judge GeorgeW. to be a good president or Brownie did a heck of a job. But when the people on my side say dumb things or take foolish positions, it causes me great distress.
One of my fellow lefties at Newshoggers posted some nonsense about Israel and the Gaza Conflict. He was trying to make a case that Israel was occupying Gaza and was overreaching or something.
Lefties: the people of Hamas are not your friends. They are lying, sniveling pricks that have no interest in peaceful coexistence with anyone. Let alone Israel. Once the Left and the world accepts these jokers for the no good terrorist, innocent women and children killing pricks they are, we will all be better off and ready to fight a real war on terror. Not the make Halliburton and Blackwater lots of money war Bush has waged.
Israel gave Gaza to Palestine. The citizens of Gaza voted in Hamas as it's leader. Hamas waged a propaganda war to win the hearts of people that desperately want peace and a chance to raise their children to adulthood. So while Hamas was building schools and hospitals for the women and children they "cared about" the assholes were building and firing rockets from the neighborhoods filled with these same women and children. Knowing full well that Israel would have no choice but to send rockets back into these neighborhoods filled with women and children who would most likely be killed. Hamas doesn't care. They don't care about the women and children they kill in Israel. They don't care about the Palestinian women and children that are killed by Israeli bombs sent in defense.
This bullshit has been going on since Israel became a nation once again. Arafat walked away from a deal that would have led to Palestinian statehood. There is no one leader of the Palestinian people. The faction leaders are motivated by hate and not peace and security for all.
It's time for them to be sent on a one way trip to hell.

Truth, you and I disagree on most issues, but on this one you see clearly. My hat is off to you.
As a conservative, liberals or leftists will never listen to me on this. But maybe you can get through. Keep up the good work.
There is no nice way to fight a war. Collateral damage (shit) happens.
Glad you stopped by Tom. Just cause I'm a lib doesn't mean I have to be panzy Brother.
If all I knew of your writings was this post, I would be hard-pressed to believe you are a leftie. I agree with your stand on this issue wholeheartedly.
I've made the point elsewhere... the definition of Hamas victory is war eternal. Although they are actually human and may feel sadness at the deaths of non-combatants, they close the circle by feeling ennobled by having to endure such sadness and such misery.
The nazis sometimes used the same trick of psychology... "do this terrible thing (to the Jews) and you prove your own purity by be prepared to undertake such action"
It's a variation on martyr thinking. Suffering as purity.
Ambidextrousness comes in handy when I have a Rolling Rock in one hand and can turn the pages of the Bible with the other Grace Baby.
What's interesting, Truth101, is that this Israel-Palestine thing doesn't directly correlate into left-right here in the U.S.
On the right we've got the Ron Paulites and Buchananites who are viciously anti-Israel if not outright anti-Semetic.
Also, I've got a few liberal commenters on my blog who often disagree with me but are strongly pro-Israel.
So I fully realize that just because I may be on the opposite side of the political spectrum on most issues with someone doesn't mean we automatically disagree on everything.
It's good to have a belief system and ideology Tom. But you can't let it blind you from the reality of situations that arise.
I respect the post and thought. I for one say each side should pick a side. I encourage it. Liberals to the left, Conservatives to the right. It promotes constructive debate and healthy compromise.
But, it doesn't mean you have to abandon principles and honesty. I can see that you agree.
Nice one, Truth.
