More video on the Hamas confrontation with Israel





Meanwhile, remember the aid the so-called humanitarians attempted to deliver to Gaza? Well, the Israelis attempted to carry out their mission for them:



Turns out Hamas blocked delivery of the supplies:
"Hamas is blocking the delivery of the humanitarian aid that arrived on the Gaza flotilla, defense establishment sources said on Wednesday. Hamas has yet to respond to the claims. ....." Article

"Hamas refused on Wednesday to allow the aid equipment that was captured by the IDF aboard the flotilla ships earlier this week to enter the Gaza Strip.

"We refuse to receive the humanitarian aid until all those who were detained aboard the ships are released," said Ahmed Kurd, Minister for Social Welfare in the Hamas government said. "We also insist that the equipment be delivered in its entirety."

Kurd said that Israel's decision to allow a number of wheelchairs to be delivered to the Gaza Strip was a "deception," claiming that the batteries that operate them had been removed, making them useless...

Israel is more or less a thorn in our side. (worse) Check out John Meerscheimer's book THE ISRAEL LOBBY, which this distinguished scholar had to have published in England because of . . . "The Israel Lobby.Check out a new book next month, fiction but extremely insightful - PALESTINE: THE RIGHT OF RETURN: A ONE STATE SOLUTION.

Dang, Kingfish, you got an anti-Semitic commenter on your blog.

There is a difference between blindly supporting every decision Israel makes and anti-Semitism, Paul. Even in Israel, they don't have a unified politic view on every action their elected government takes. Not all Jews support every action an Israeli government takes.
It might be nice in THIS country if we put OUR national interests first rather than cater to every powerful lobby or interest group there is.
The facts aren't all in, but if this ship was in international waters,and the people aboard ship were armed with sling shots and bats only, and there was only humanitarian cargo, this was a dumb attack on Israel's part.

Paul Mitchell said...

Anon 7:18, Israel has a method for delivering humanitarian supplies to the Muslims in Gaza for a reason. Mainly is it because the Muslims keep firing rockets into residential areas and killing people because those people are Jewish.

Ignore that all you want to, but that is what is happening. As a matter of fact, Rachel Corrie got dead because she was guarding one of the houses that had weapons tunnels coming up into it, but let's honor those criminals anyway, mmmmkay?

Are you in favor of an across-the-broad ending of all military aid and troop deployments to all foreign countries to which we currently provide funds and/or troops?

Put up or shut up.

The facts ARE in 7:18 and you are IGNORING them.

Paul's 9:26 comment is rooted in the same logical ignorance that gives us: "You oppose Obama. Obama is black. Therefore, you are racist."

Not everyone who opposes an Israeli or Jewish position on an issue is an anti-Semite.

Having said that, Israel was right to stop those ships and should continue doing so.

Paul Mitchell said...

Yeah, my comment is EXACTLY like that, VoR, except that it is the complete opposite.

Israeli or Jewish occupation? That is cute!

And if you disagree....we'll call you a racist!

This is some blog you have here.

my belief is that the world's opinion of Israel is driven by a fear of the Arab world and the politics of terror they (arabs) create.

Israel is a great example of people who had nothing and turned a dusty spot in the desert into an oasis of economic success.

My concern is that our do-nothing President might be a catalyst of a
regional conflagration.

Netanyahu says " Israel is guilty , until proven guilty" in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Paul, even Jon Stewart, who IS Jewish and supports Israel, said that anyone who doesn't see the suffering in the Gaza Strip doesn't have a heart.

Yes, I know that Hamas is bad and acts in sneaky ways...way to assume you are the only one keeps us with the news.

Neither you nor I know at this point whether or not this was a fraudulent humanitarian effort with hidden arms or infiltrators aboard. IF Israel has boarded within their waters, then that is a risk these folks assumed in running a blockcade.

IF the blockade is only to prevent arms and infiltrators, why would Israel refuse to off load the aide and deliver it?

If they won't accept HUMANITARIAN aide, then is the blockade to force the people of Gaza into submission much like the old medieval seige?

Israel has political parties just as we do.

You might read Israel's newspapers available in English. Israeli citizens aren't any happier sometimes with their government than we are with ours. But, some of us seem to believe that Israel's government is flawless...be it a conservative or liberal government.

That's just a lack of objectivity .

Kingfish said...

Isreal DID off-load the supplies and attempt to deliver them and Hamas refused delivery. I cited two newspaper stories AND posted the video.

Quit lying.

Paul Mitchell said...

And Anon, 7:23, there is ONLY VIDEO of the "Relief Workers" attacking the IDF as they board the ship attempting to run Israel's LEGALLY established blockade. Not to mention, but oddly Egypt is also part of that blockade, too.

You might not know what happened, but normal people do.

Some people seem to think that Islam is a Religion of Peace, but that is just a lack of intelligence.

Let's face it....the American Right supports Israel, right or wrong. It doesn't matter what Israel does, the support is unconditional. Why is this? There is only one reason, and that is religion. Jews and Christians share the Old Testament, and many Christians have a deeply held bias against Arabs. Thus Israel is a symbol of Christianity's war against Islam. It's really that simple. Thus any discussion of the specifics of this flotilla massacre doesn't really matter, we all already know that Kingfish is going to support Israel, because they are Israel. I just wish he would be upfront about his biases and quit pretending to be some sort of objective bystander who is examining the facts. He is anti-Islam, anti-Arab, and pro-Israel, regardless of the facts. It's that simple.

Paul Mitchell said...

Anon 12:45, continue to ignore the facts about the terrorist flotilla. There is only video of what happened.

Muslims are NOT going to eat y'all last. Y'all are the easy kills.

Please jerkoff. Go ahead and introduce the specifics about the whole flotilla matter that you feel are germane. NOBODY is stopping you from making your case. No, instead you want to bitch and cry about bias. But YOU'VE DONE NOTHING beyond soundbites to state your case.

So the floor is yours. Please, please put up or shut the fuck up.

Anonymous said...

Jerk-off? That's nice. This is why this is such a great blog. Any disagreements result in name-calling and obscenities. I'm surprised you didn't call me an anti-Semite.

You clearly didn't understand my point. I'm not trying to defend Israel OR the flotilla. I'm saying that the specifics don't matter, because this blog is going to defend Israel regardless of the specifics. That's my case. You and Paul Mitchell somehow think I'm defending the flotilla, but apparently neither of you are very bright.

Paul Mitchell said...

Anon 3:13, of course I am not very bright because it is very clear that I am responding to someone that is making statements without knowing any of the facts regarding this situation. But when people make statements that are clearly anti-freedom or anti-self defense, and do not want an independent country to exist, I kinda get my hackles up.

Sorry, I shall keep my non-bright comments to myself.

By the way, it is odd that you would make a blanket statement about JJ defending Israel no matter what Israel does and use THIS circumstance as some kind of "evidence" of that. You are very, very bright.

Anonymous said...

Paul Mitchell: This is not the only post Kingfish has had about Israel. He defends their actions regularly.

Why do you think I'm defending the flotilla? Please read my post again, I have done no such thing. Your pro-Israel bias is preventing you from understanding my point. I'm not making any points about the actual events, because they are not germane to my point. You have no idea whether I know anything about the event or not.

I'm not sure if the comments you made about anti-freedom and anti-defense refer to me or not, but I haven't made those comments. Again, my point is that this blog provides reactionary, automatic, uncritical support for Israel, right or wrong. Any other inferences are incorrect.

This blog may be too advanced for you 3:13+3:42. You might want to cut your teeth on one of the beginner blogs. Depending on your choice of flavor, try the JFP or Y'allPolitics. You'll find the hymnal those choirs use easier to follow along.

Paul Mitchell said...

Anon 3:42, I have Pro-Israel bias? Just like you have not defended the Muslim terrorists trying to run a legally formed and internationally recognized blockade by Egypt and Israel, I have not defended Israel nor Egypt. I simply told you that VIDEO existed to prove that you had no clue what you were talking about.

I have no idea which Anon you are, but I made a comment referring to someone that is saying an independent country has no right to defend itself from terrorism. That is anti-freedom and anti-self defense. You can disagree, but that would make you wrong.

But, then again, I am not very bright.

Paul Mitchell: Video exists that demonstrates that Kingfish doesn't automatically defend Israel? Good grief, what do I have to do to make my point?

I'm saying that the specifics don't matter, because this blog is going to defend Israel regardless of the specifics.

Even if that is the case, which it isn't, so what? If this blog is reliably pro-Israel, so what?

Good grief, do you have to bother? We know that opinions lurk within this blog. We know that some opinions are strongly held. We know that there will be opinions posted here that we may disagree with. We know that this is a raucous, generally anonymous crowd.

Okay, what else? What other obvious bullshit do you want to reiterate again?

Keep in mind that the only thing different between what is going on in Israel and what is going on in the Southwest US is hemispheres.

These people were not peaceful. They briefly kidnapped and tortured three IDF soldiers, only releasing the soldiers when they saw their ship was overcome by IDF.

Enjoy your freedom while it lasts.

The Mexican government doesn't control the northern reaches of Mexico that directly abut our southern border. The militias of the drug lords have made that area a 'No Man's Land'. It is only a matter of degrees different than Pakistan's inability to control its northern border lands directly adjacent to Afghanistan.

Hey Kingfish, given that hideous hag , Helen Thomas strong views regarding Israel. how bout a history recap of the existence of jews in the region long before, the creation of Israel as a state,
and the influx of palestinians as a result of their on explusion from many arab states. And, the wars of agression that have been inflicted agaisnt Israel and the ass-whooping they've

From the LA Times...


The Egyptian Supreme Court has affirmed an earlier verdict to revoke the citizenship of Egyptian men married to Israeli women.

In his Saturday ruling, Supreme Court judge Mohamed Husseini said the government should begin enforcing the verdict.,....
Over the last 20 years, thousands of Egyptians have flooded Israel searching for work and better living conditions. Reports indicate that about 30,000 Egyptian men are married to Israeli women.

3 IDF soldiers were kidnapped and locked up in the ship. They were only released when it was learned the IDF had control of the ship.

And these are humanitarian relief workers? Bull. They are Arab terrorists.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
