Waiting for Rusty to come and play with him.

John Kerry's ceasefire proposal as presented to Israel would have fully capitulated to Hamas' demands:

The popular and widely-watched Saturday evening newscast quotes several unnamed high officials in the Israeli government who claimed that Kerry's cease fire proposal represented a "complete cave-in" to Hamas's demands for an end to fighting in its war against Israel.

The official, and others cited in The Times of Israel, claimed that Israel was "stunned" and "absolutely horrified" that Kerry's ceasefire proposal, which contained no demand that Hamas dismantle or destroy its terror tunnel network. It demanded that both Israel and Egypt open their border crossings with Gaza, from where all the devastating weapons of war were initially imported. Furthermore, the Kerry plan did not simply call for Hamas to be allowed to build a seaport on its Mediterranean coast; but that Israel and Egypt should help pay for it. [...]

Israel's multi-party security cabinet was so taken aback by the pro-Hamas scope of the Kerry proposal, they initially refused to believe they were real. "It must be a misunderstanding," the source told Channel 2.

A documentary about the conflict. It is long, an hour and a half, but well worth a watch. Knowledge is a powerful weapon. Arm yourself.

Yes, they actually blamed Israel for ending truce despite being bombarded continually by missiles and rockets from Hamas during the ceasefire period.

Here's a song just for BBC and you pro-Hamas supporters:

The IDF destroys a Hamas house neighborhood.

When will these savages learn they can't compete with superior humans?

First we brought you Hot Chicks for IDF. And now Jawa Report, pretty much the greatest blog in the universe brings you....

Total Sluts for IDF.

Or Stands With IDF or Stands for IDF.

I forget.

Limited time offer, not available in Gaza, The Islamic State or Taliban controlled areas.

Bonus! Sluts reading books.

Payback is a bitch:

Among those arrested are Hugo Carvajal, who was Chávez’s close confidant and head of the country’s military intelligence from 2004 to 2009. Carvajal was arrested in Aruba at the request of U.S. prosecutors and is expected to appear in an Aruban court Friday.

Meanwhile, in Miami, former judge Benny Palmeri-Bacchi was arrested on his way to Disney World for a two-week vacation with his family. According to The Miami Herald, Palmeri-Bacchi pleaded not guilty to providing protection for a convicted Colombian drug trafficker.

The third former official charged in the case is Rodolfo McTurk, a former director of Interpol in Venezuela, who is believed to be still in his country. According to the May 2013 indictment unsealed Thursday, McTurk and Carvajal assisted Colombian kingpins in smuggling cocaine from Venezuela to Mexico and the Caribbean between 2004 and 2008, by bribing high-ranking military and law enforcement officials. The drugs were eventually shipped to the United States, authorities said.

All it takes to stop a nut with a gun is one Quartermaine.

A doctor with a semi-automatic gun and a caseworker who was "nothing short of heroic" were able to wound and then subdue an armed psychiatric patient after he had killed another caseworker and appeared intent of reloading and shooting more people in a Pennsylvania hospital, police said today.

The patient, Richard Plotts, 49, suddenly pulled a gun out of his waistband and shot his caseworker, Theresa Hunt, in the head at point blank range while inside psychiatrist Lee Silverman's office for a scheduled appointment on Thursday. Hunt was killed instantly, authorities said.

Silverman dove to the floor, pulled a semi-automatic pistol out his pocket and had a furious close range gun battle with Plotts, who police said fired at least 10 rounds. The doctor, who was using a chair for protection, aimed his gun at Plotts and fired until it was empty, District Attorney Jack Whelan said today in recounting what happened.

The doctor, who was grazed in the head and wounded in the thumb while covering his face, was able to get out of the office, unaware that he had struck Plotts three times.

The looney had 39 more bullets, had he not been stopped there would have been many more casualties.

Maybe Radcliffe should have tried the southern U.S. border instead...

Daniel Radcliffe may have led a charmed life until now - but it seems not even he can work his magic on U.S. customs officers.

The Harry Potter star was stopped by American border guards yesterday when he tried to cross into the country from Canada, because he had failed to properly upgrade his visa.

That's our homeland security for you - deny entrance to a multi-millionaire actor, but allow in millions of criminals who will leech off our system for decades to come. What the hell, it's only tax-payer money.

Who's there?

A new Gallup poll indicates that a majority of people who believe Israel is unjustified in attacking Hamas are young, uneducated Democrats:

The survey also shows that those who are the least informed about the conflict tend to support the Palestinian side.

And yet some actually blame Israel for the aggression.

Thousands of Hamas-linked terrorists planned to invade Israel on the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah), which begins on September 24, according to an Israel security source.

First reported by i24news, "thousands of terrorists were meant to cross over to Israel from Gaza through the tunnels and kill and kidnap as many Israelis as they could. The source added that the army learned about the huge planned attack during the interrogations of Hamas prisoners, captured during Operation Protective Edge in Gaza." (Source)

Bonus: Jon Voight blasts Obama over Israel:

Hmmmm:

A warning in Norway of an imminent terrorist attack has reinforced concern in the U.S. and Europe about the danger posed by jihadist fighters returning from the war in Syria.

Norwegian authorities said they’ve uncovered information pointing to a potential terror attack in the country within days by individuals linked to the conflict in Syria.

The warning reinforces the assessments of law enforcement and counterterrorism officials that the returning-fighter risk is real and increasing.

An interesting take on what is happening in France today. I'm guessing there weren't a lot of, ahem, "youths" around to blame during WWII.

I'm hearing a lot of "it's unclear" about who actually struck the school. Because well, it's pretty clear it was not Israel. It was either secondary explosions from a nearby strike on a cache of rockets or a Hamas rocket that fell short.

How do I know? Because I have eyes.

Here are several images of the damage at the UN school. There's a lot of images of the injured at the Pallywood General Hospital. But you have to look around a bit to see the actual damage at the UN school.

click for larger.

Here is some video from PBS of the site. Pay particular attention to the shrapnel marks in the wall and other damage at around 50 seconds. At 54 seconds the images switch to a nearby strike. Not the blue UN school.

Now here is an image from the Hamas rocket strike near the airport this week.

Pretty similar huh? Now lets look at what its left after an actual Israeli strike.

Oh my, there's nothing left of the target but a pile of rubble. And you can surf all the Israel strike images you want. If Israel had directly targeted this UN school there would be nothing left standing and probably no survivors who were in the actual strike.

The only reason the media is qualifying that they are not sure who did it is because its obvious this was either an errant Hamas rocket or a Hamas false flag operation that directly targeted their own people in order to generate propaganda.

The third possibility is that it was damage from secondary explosions due to Hamas storing arms that they knew wouldl be targeted too close to the school.

I mean it's obvious to everyone with eyes except the *US media and Hamas shills.

Update:

Thanks to Shizzle.

Astronaut Alexander Gerst tweeted a picture from space that he claims shows explosions in Gaza. But as you can see when compared to a map of the region, the "explosions" are simply city lights in Israel, not Gaza (which is relatively dark).

Whether this astronaut is just ignorant in geography of the area or deliberately posted misinformation is irrelevant. The pro-Palestinian sheep have already fallen into step, retweeting it 33,000 times as of this writing.

UPDATE: Times of Israel also noticed the inconsistency. They marked off Israeli cities (though they included the Egyptian city of Rafah as a part of Gaza):

But facts and accuracy are not relevant to anti-Israeli pundits.

UPDATE II: Its bad enough an astronaut exposes his ignorance on his twitter feed, but now NASA is backing his vision of Gaza in flames.

« Hide "Space Image Showing Gaza In Flames?"

To be fair, I don't think the numbers would have been much different under a President McCain or Romney, but I would hope we would've at least have an honest conversation about it.
