Well, she might as well say so. Cupid stunt.
Does this sound like the words of a man who is unfriendly to Israel? (And this is just one example.)
Imagine what it would be like to live, knowing that a rocket could fall on you or your children at any minute. Half of those who live nearest to Gaza have fled their homes. Those remaining are traumatized by daily warning sirens and explosions.
The irony is that Israel has the military might to easily win the war that is being waged against them today. They haven’t used that might, in the past, out of compassion for Palestinian civilians and because it could trigger a wider regional conflict.
That balance of power is about to change, though. If Iran develops nuclear weapons, the very existence of this tiny nation of Israel will be threatened. The Iranian regime has left little doubt that it intends to see Israel “wiped off the map.” Hamas is using the same language, not coincidentally, and has announced it will begin launching missiles into Israel from the West Bank too.
Anti-Israel? Pan-Islamist? Not bloody likely.
From Israel Today:
Of the dozen or so candidates contesting the nomination, Thompson is among the most supportive of Israel.
[...]
Thompson is also on record as supporting an Israeli military strike against Iran should international diplomacy fail to prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining nuclear arms.More liberal political elements in Israel fear Thompson may be too far to the right, and therefore end up harming Israel. During his time as a senator, Thompson was one of the sponsors of the Jerusalem Embassy Act demanding that the US government move its embassy to the Israeli capital in defiance of Palestinian claims to the city.
Note that this is the same Israel Today that’s jumping on Debbuh’s hysterical bandwagon. LOL. Well, when you use someone as a source who’s far more often wrong than right, you’re going to look like a damn fool.
Who gives a damn about Spencer Abraham being a campaign advisor (not the campaign manager–not that it even matters), anyway? Are we voting for Thompson, or for his campaign team? Oh noes! Spencer Abraham was an advocate for immigration, too! Fred Thompson must be an open-borders guy, then! (Er…not.)
But whatever. If the worst thing these hysterical moonbats can come up with against Fred Thompson is that he’s got a campaign advisor of Arab descent (his grandparents emigrated from Lebanon), then Fred’s sittin’ pretty. :mrgreen:

Put your money where your mouth is, progressives! It’s the new best-kept secret destination, and accomodations are limited! The Gaza Riviera awaits! (No, I am not kidding.)
If you think of the Gaza Strip as a volatile, violent battleground run by fanatic Islamist militants bent on destroying Israel, Hamas wants you to think again.
Think: “Safe, clean and green.”
Hey, ecotourism, Latin America and Africa have been done. That’s sooo last century.

How about it, Joe? They’re the same as Israelis, right?
He still hasn’t officially declared himself a candidate. But in the July poll, 34 percent of those likely to vote in the Feb. 5 Republican primary said they would cast ballots for Thompson if the election were today.
That compares with 20 percent support for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, down from 29 percent in May; 11 percent for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, down from 23 percent; 7 percent for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, down from 15 percent; and 5 percent for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who got 7 percent in May.
Mike Hubbard, chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, said Thompson is “a true conservative.”
Damn, I love this state. We’re With Fred!
Unrelated to Thompson, but still about Presidential politics–last week I had a cardiology appointment for a stress test and EKG. While I was doing the tests, they asked if I wanted the teevee on and I said, yeah, sure. The tech put it on CNN for about two seconds, but they were recapping the Democratic debate and Hillary was talking. She said, “Oh God, it’s Hillary,” and switched it while saying, “you didn’t want to see that, did you?” Obviously my answer was a firm “hell no.” So she put it on Fox News, where Bush was speaking at Charleston AFB. She asked, “Is that OK? Do you want to listen to Bush?” I said yes, and she said, “well, you never know, I’ve had a couple people say they didn’t want to hear him.” A COUPLE people. HA! HAHAHAHAHA!!! So we (the tech and nurse and I) started talking about Bush, and nobody was apologetic or negative in the least. It was lovely. See, I’ve had my Bush-Cheney sticker on my car since late 2002, and it’s still on, never been touched. So do thousands of others in Mobile, although most of them are rockin’ the black W sticker. Alabama IS Bush Country (especially in Mobile). It’s wonderful to live in a place where you’re not harassed by angry Bush-deranged moonbats; in fact, even our Democrats / liberals here are pleasant and easygoing. (GTL is much, much nicer than his mean ol’ Bush-bashing blog would indicate–I’ve met him in person.) :winking:
Contrast that with those poor souls who are living in the snakepits of angry leftardism, who’d risk vandalism if they had Bush stickers on their cars or verbal abuse if they stated their opinions to strangers. Then again, people are just plain nicer down here than anywhere else I’ve lived. :mrgreen:

Hamza, 49, dubbed the “preacher of hate”, is serving seven years for inciting the murder of non-Muslims.
In a letter to a London-based Islamic organisation, Nagat Mostafa, 46, said her husband claimed to be the victim of racist bullying and Islamophobia in Belmarsh jail.
It’s rather amusing, I think, to hear her whining about her husband suffering ‘racist bullying’ when he’s inside for inciting the killing of non-Muslims!! You can’t make this stuff up.
A little bad news, as if any were needed:
An estimated one in six of Belmarsh’s 920 prisoners is Muslim. Prison officers gave warning last week of the threat of extremists “radicalising” inmates.
Steve Gough, the vice-chairman of the Prison Officers’ Association, said: “If you go to Belmarsh you’d see 20 going to Friday prayers a few years ago. Now you’ll see 150.
The Caliphate is gaining ground.
“I think Washington is broken … I think it is rigged against you,” said Edwards as the crowd erupted in applause.
Which might prompt the question “Why didn’t you tell us that during the six years you worked there?”
“We are the worst polluters in the world,” said Edwards, adding that unlike other Democrats, he does not want to solve the problem through an increase in nuclear power plants.
I suggest a combination of wind, solar, hydro, elven spells and pixie dust be deployed to confront this most pressing of all the issues facing America.
At the conclusion of the event, man-of-the-people Edwards and his staffers climbed aboard a solar-powered Gulfstream IV and flew to his hairdresser’s house.
Thanks to modern science, we know now who is behind the internets Paultard phenomenon.
If seven hundred genetically altered mice typed for seven hundred years, one of them would turn out the works of ¡Ron Paul!
This also applies to the Kossacks, Huffposters, and bloggers whose names rhyme with Jamela Shlussle.
One of the two kidnapped IDF soldiers in Lebanon are dead, according to estimates by German security sources, who were quoted in the Lebanese newspaper, An-Nahar, Saturday.
“Security forces understood that one of the kidnapped soldiers is still alive, however, the other is dead,” An-Nahar reported.
Nasrallah of course, denies this report, telling Al-Jazeera “I’m the only one authorized to give information about their condition.” and he’s not giving any information.
Nothing like a little psychological warfare, just like last month, when we suffered through reports that Gilad Shalit was in dire need of medical attention. There was no international outcry or outrage, no pressure put on Hamas to give him the medical attention he needs. The State of Israel and the rest of the world shrugged it off.
Time marches on, the world continues to pressure Israel to make concessions to these terrorists even as it turns its back on Ehud Goldwasser, Eldad Regev and Gilad Shalit, indifferent as to whether they are alive, or dead. I look at the remains of their humvee, and I wonder.
Were they alive when captured, were they injured? And if so, who treated their injuries, what medicines were they given by the animals who took them? I look at that humvee, and I believe that they were injured, and I know that they were likely just bandaged up and left to live or die on their own. And I know that every additional day of captivity makes it more likely that they will never be free.
Their lives matter only to those who love them. To the terrorists, they are pawns, bargaining chips. To their country, they are an inconvenience. And to the rest of the world, their lives mean nothing. I hope and I pray for them, but I expect the worst, and with good reason. One year later, their names and their faces are fading from the news, and soon, the world will forget they ever existed, as they have forgotten other Israeli soldiers who have disappeared into the hands of terrorists, never to be seen or heard from again:
Three soldiers, captured by terrorists during a battle with Syrian and Palestinian forces near the Lebanese village of Sultan Yaqub. June 11, 1982. Twenty-five years ago, over 9,000 days.
Two soldiers captured with them were released in prisoner exchanges with Syria and Achmed Jibril’s PFLP-GC (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command). Every once in a while, their names come up (including the 1988 Amnesty International Report and the 1993 Amnesty International December Update) but reports are conflicting and nothing is verifiable. Zachary Baumel is an American citizen.
Israeli air-force navigator Ron Arad was taken captive after his F-4 Phantom warplane went down over Lebanon. October 16, 1982. Twenty-one years ago, over 7,000 days.
Ron Arad was taken captive by Amal, a Lebanese Shi’ite militia group lead by Nabih Berri, who today is the speaker of the Lebanese Parliament. In 1987, Arad’s family received several letters and a photo of Arad confirming that the missing navigator was alive and in Amal’s hands. Mustafa Dirani, the Amal security chief who allegedly captured Ron Arad when his plane crashed in Lebanon, reportedly broke away from the terrorist group in 1987, taking Arad with him. It is believed that Dirani then “sold” Arad to either Hizbullah or Iranian elements.
According to Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot, as recently as 2003, three former Iranian diplomats and intelligence officials living in Europe claimed that Ron Arad is alive and being held in a prison near Tehran. But these reports cannot be verified.
Twenty years later, we know nothing about the fate of Ron Arad, although I have my own thoughts on that.
Guy Hever, a soldier in the Israeli Army who was reportedly last seen standing at the Katzabiya junction, just a kilometer away from the Syrian border. He disappeared, and has not been heard from since. August 17, 1997. Ten years ago, over 3,500 days.
Does anyone remember these men today? Sadly, no, most people don’t remember them, if they ever knew about them in the first place. Disappearing Jews don’t make headlines.
Two years ago, we gave up the Gush as a show of good faith. And in return, we got thousands of rockets raining down on Israeli civilians, women, children, schools.
Last year, Israel should have fought until these men were released or until every single square inch of Lebanon and Gaza was buried under rubble. Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah should have been destroyed, completely destroyed.
Instead, Israel gave up and accomplished nothing, and now, Israel has again released palestinian terrorists from its prisons in exchange for nothing, calling it a show of good faith to the evil bastards who hold these men captive. Originally, the plan was to negotiate the release of prisoners in exchange for the release of Gilad Shalit, but in the end, they just let the terrorists go free.
The Israeli government has again closed its eyes to what happens when you appease terrorists and negotiate with evil:
These are the faces of 177 Jews, all of whom were murdered by palestinian terrorists after the terrorists were released from Israeli prisons.
I look at those faces, and I want to cry.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… my solution would be to take the terrorists locked up in Israeli jails and execute them, one by one, until all our soldiers are released, or I run out of prisoners.
That way, the end result is a good one, either way.
But, that’s just me.

I’m not doing it, although considering my tendency to stay up all night anyway, I probably should have signed up for it. No matter, though–my blog-sister Carol at Alabama Improper IS doing it. I’ll just keep her company.
So, brother, can you spare a dime donation?
Every thirty minutes I am supposed to post. I have no idea what I’m doing but it’ll be fun. I’ll probably post some on the charity that I have chosen to blog for this year; The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Please come by from time to time and help support me, help keep me awake and DONATE!
She starts at 7pm (Central time) tonight, so please do help her stay awake and motivated tonight in the comments. And by all means, make a donation!
Bizarre.
MILAN (Reuters) - A Qatar sheikh held up a British Airways flight at Milan’s Linate airport for nearly three hours after discovering three of his female relatives had been seated next to men they did not know.
Errr. How did they allow him to delay the flight for three hours?
When none of the other business class passengers agreed to swap seats, the sheikh, a member of Qatar’s ruling family, went to the pilot, who had already started the engine, to complain, an airport official said.
I thought ‘going to the pilot’ was sort of, like, not allowed any more?
And to conclude, a blue ribbon, craven Reuters moment.
Traditions in the conservative Gulf Arab region bar women from mixing with unrelated men.
You didn’t know Milan was in the Gulf Arab region, did you? And those ‘traditions’ they’re talking about are a bit more like Sharia law, aren’t they?
I wonder if Reuters would describe a Biblical admonition against anything as a ‘tradition’. Unlikely I’d say.
