Man this is

How´d you interpret this new series of terror attacks? Are the radicals at the Palestinian side on the way to "dismantle" the new PM? Or do they try to use such attacks as "power play" for coming negotiations?

[Sirotnikov]

On a related issue:

The Israeli Foreign Ministry (IFM) yesterday called a special debriefing of foreign journalists covering the Israeli Palestinian conflict, and showed them exclusive explicit documentation of the results of terrorist suicide bombings.

"So far, we have refrained from 'marketing blood'" said IFM spokesperson in an interview to Maariv paper. (paraphrased) "But we must understand that the Palestinians are. They are shooting on film, and sending to major networks every event, together with it's horrific results. And it's working. We refrained from doing that, because it's low. But for a while now, reporters here take suicide bombings as non-events, and report on them very casually. We had to change that."(/paraphraised)

According to Israeli intelligence, the terrorist wave is aimed to undermine the authority of new Palestinian PM Abu Mazen. The terrorist factions have started a new wave after recieving a green light from.... I'll let you guess.

Didn't you notice that there were practically no terrorist attacks during the war in Iraq? Some strange hand didn't want it to look bad for Pals...

Siro :

There were still close to 50 warnings about attacks in the making during every day of the last few months.

These things never stop, do they? Does IDF take volunteers? I bet they do. Maybe I should give a call to the embassy, maybe they can work something out.

Siro, who's the buttface in your avatar?

I know that many Jews from around the world volunteer to do guarding and patrol duties and that many Israeli 60-70 year olds veterans volunteer too, but I dont know whether gentiles are also alowed.

Siro, who's the buttface in your avatar?

Ugly, right?

[Sirotnikov]

Following recent intelligence tips:

Many Israeli cities are cut off. Many roadblocks set up by police in Afula and other towns in the western north of Israel.

Apparently there is a possibility that more terrorists have left for Israel, and reached the same geographical area.

Pekka: I'm sure gentiles are allowed. I'm also sure that you can undergo Gyur quickly these days

Eli - you didn't get accepted



Police is searching for the escaping car that brought the terrorist to the scene.

[Pekka]

Eli, well I guess they know in the embassy.
Nah that face is not ugly, I was jsut wondering who he is, because I know Siro doesn't have any kids and I don't recognize this guy being celeb, so I'm just wondering who he is. Maybe some celeb as a kid, the hair would indicate 70s..?

[Sirotnikov]

To remind you - today is the evening of a holiday that is celebrated only by children. The celebrations include kids setting up campfires all around the place from about 7pm, so many many children are right now shopping for meat and marshmallows.

[Pekka]

It's you?
that's cool.
