Column - Israel has no option, and Carr should say so
Andrew Bolt
–, Monday, November, 19, 2012, (9:11am)
The clashes in Israel just became so simple that only one question seems left. Will the war be small or big?
This year more than 600 rockets have been fired into Israel from the Palestinian enclave of Gaza, run by the Hamas terrorist group.
In past days those rockets have reached even the outskirts of tiny Israel's two biggest cities, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Suddenly all the intricate haggling over boundaries, settlements and who-came-first is beside the point.
If terrorists in Timor started lobbing missiles into Melbourne and Sydney, almost every Australian would agree the time for negotiating was over and the time for bombing begun.
Israel is no different. It's now bombed missile targets and Hamas centres in Gaza. Now up to 75,000 reservists are being called up for the land invasion of Gaza that is almost inevitable unless Hamas and the Islamic Jihad terrorists in its territory stop firing the
rockets now sending millions of Israelis scurrying for shelter. No state can let its people be terrorised like this.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard seems to understand this well. Foreign Minister Bob Carr not.
Gillard has unequivocally condemned Hamas, calling its rocket attacks "utterly unacceptable" and demanding it "cease these immediately".
"Australia supports Israel's right to defend itself against these indiscriminate attacks."
But Carr, who for months said little publicly against Hamas rocket attacks until Israel hit back, now calls only on "both sides to exercise restraint". Which suggests Carr just wants Israel to put up even with missile attacks on its biggest cities, since "restraint" is not a Hamas trait.
Talk about unreal.
If Carr is to usefully urge restraint on anyone, let it be on Egypt, now under the rule of the Hamas-friendly Muslim Brotherhood.
President Mohamed Morsi has now ordered his prime minister to visit Gaza to show solidarity, which threatens to up the stakes dramatically. At the other end of Israel is the terrorist territory of Lebanon's Hezbollah, fed more missiles by Iran, which itself is pushing ahead with a nuclear weapons program.
Will the war be small or big?

Have Your Say
In 2013, the voters of New South Wales will make the Federal Labor government pay for inflicting Bob Carr upon us a second time.

Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:58am)
I wish that were so true. I believe NSW voters, like all other voters, have such short memories most don't recall the damage Carr did to NSW.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:09am)
Just when you thought you'd managed to swallow a quite ordinary tasting bite, it jumps back into your mouth....
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:15am)
Carr's craven attitude is shaped by his knowledge of how many NSW ALP branches are controlled by people from the Mid-East, and I'm obviously not referring to Israelis.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:11am)
Bob Parr on the course is trying to keep inside his surname. And the more he does, the more Eddie Obied will fill his wishes for double pension, state and federal…
He doesn't have kids but he can always leave his money to his pussycat.
Does anyone other than the caricature left think that Israel should just cop the hundreds of rockets a year without retaliating?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:20am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:01am)
In fact Israel have shown great restraint. Any other country in a similar position would have invaded and taken control of the other side by now.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:11am)
notch, do you think the palestinians, including 800,000 children should cop a seige, assassinations, incursions, drone attacks, bombing, arrest without trial, flagrant human rights abuses,having their land stolen , without retaliating? israel has a lot of options. get off land that is not theirs and obey international law. . the palestinians have a right to resist occupation and terrorism. the world needs to do something. ironically israel is sewing the seeds of its own demise with this kind of lawlessness..
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:08am)
@robert, the cliche anti-Israel rhetoric is getting old, no one with any credibility believes that Israel imposes any sort of collective punishment on Gaza, plus it is also hard to "steal land" when you have actually removed your population from the disputed area as Israel did, only to be rewarded with a barrage of rockets.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:29am)
Robert, lay off the kool aid, it rots your brains.
The Israelis withdrew unilaterally from Gaza, and as soon as they did so the arabs destroyed the income producing greenhouses they left behind, and then proceeded to elect a bunch of terrorists as their Govt, then started firing rockets and mortars at Israeli civilians.
Any other country in the world would have gone right back in and re-occupied, not tolerated it for months and years, not sent text messages to warn people of buildings it was going to target, and not continued to supply power, water, medical treatment etc, etc to the people doing the attacking.
As for a siege, remember Gaza has 3 sided land borders, and the southern one is with Egypt. Which is how they get in the missiles that they are now firing at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:50am)
Robert you are typical anti-Semite.
Palestinians, particularly in Gaza, suffer because their idiotic terrorist government bombards Israel territory with explosives laden rockets. Hamas does not want cooperation with Israel, Hamas wants to destroy Israel.
They started sending explosives on their crude rockets into Israel and they are suffering from Israel retaliation. Similarly, Hitler started WW2 and bombed European cities including British ones and then he and Germans suffered from RAF and USAAF retaliation.
Israel will not go away and nobody, including delusional nincompoops like you, can force them to suffer another holocaust.
Normal person cannot but see who is primarily at fault. Of course an anti-Semite will always blame Jews.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:51am)
..."israel has a lot of options. get off land that is not theirs..."
Rubbish. The Palestinians with the Syrians, Jordanians and Egyptians have had their go at invasion; in case you forgot, Israel won. They didn't steal land, the Palestinians lost it when they tried to overrun Israel. Try familiarising yourself with those pesky little things called facts, but then again, they might upset your world view.
How many rockets were fired on Israel before the assassination?
All this violence came after that event.
Yes, Israel has a right to defend itself but so do the Palestinians.
Personally, I would like to see the extremist from both sides sidelined and never heard from again.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:23am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:10am)
Please identify the Israeli 'extremists' that you want sidelined MJ, are they the politicians who are sick to the back teeth of Hamas terrorists shooting missiles indiscriminately into Israel?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:10am)
From you Fairfax "bible" the "Age"
The IDF said its actions were part of a wider Israeli operation against militant groups and weapon sites in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, and were prompted by a wave of rocket attacks against Israel.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:13am)
And the winner of the best Bob Carr impersonation is.... Mr Jordon
What an increadible performance, managing to perfectly mimick possibly the vilest and most untennable position ever adopted by an Australian Foreign Minister....
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:14am)
The Palestinians have been firing rockets indiscriminately into Ashkelon, and now Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, for a long time before al-Jabari was targeted! What exactly are you suggesting Hamas is defending itself against? Attacks on it's terrorist infrastructure?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:16am)
Jordon (I cannot use Mr as that is a sign of respect yet you deserve none) check your facts before sprouting your ignorance. HAMAS has been lobbing missiles into Israel for the better part of a year. Israel took out the HAMAS military leader only a few days ago.
So the ignorance you show is breath taking to defend the attacks on civilian targets and then when Israel has finally had enough then try to convince yourself that Israel started it.
Let me put it into simple English. Israel is trying to defend its citizens from UNPROVOKED cowardly missile attacks.
Luckily for Israel it looks as though Iran has kept some vital technology from HAMAS. The fact that HAMAS cannot target the missiles accurately is a blessing. Imagine if HAMAS could target down to about 10 metre accuracy how much death would be occuring in Israel. Women and children are legitimate targets to the "brave??" terrorists of HAMAS.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:18am)
How many rockets were fired on Israel before the assassination?
Hundreds ... literally ... if not thousands. Look it up before you write and risk becoming a caricature of yourself.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:22am)
Personally, it doesn't matter what you would like to see. I can see Israel and Hamas waiting with baited breath for your advice.
How exactly do you think the Palestinians are defending themselves by firing rockets into Israel?
If this turns into a dog fight, have a guess who will lose?
Sometimes one side doesn't listen and a conflict is inevitable. Palestinians should hope that this does not happen.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:26am)
Mr.J, you obviously came in very, very late! The Palestinians have been encouraged to maintain a feeling of entitlement for the past 50 or 60 years,
at the expense of their own young. Egypt,Iran & others have continuously reminded them of their disadvantage just as our Labor party has done with our aborigines even though for different reasons!
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:27am)
How many?
'Israel launched the operation on Wednesday in what it said was an effort to end months of rocket fire out of the Hamas-ruled territory. It began the offensive with an unexpected airstrike that killed Hamas' powerful military chief, and since then has relentlessly targeted suspected rocket launchers and storage sites.'
Near 1000 in last month.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:38am)
Mr Jordon,
so the 116 rockets and 56 mortar shells the Palestinians lobbed into Israel during October were of no consequence, nor the 130 odd rockets launched in November prior to the assassination of Jabiri.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:44am)
the idf are liars and not to be trusted southern. how do you know the rocket attacks are not provoked. how many un resolutions have been aimed at the palestinians? zero. how many at israel? over 70. that tells its own story. the extremists are running israel. they are easy to spot. one day they will see the inside of a cell
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:00am)
Mr Jordon the answer, hundreds of rockets fired from Gaza. I'am not a one eyed Israeli supporter. But we should be looking for the real reason for the rockets. Any sane person after the experience gained on previous invasion attempts on Israel have dramatically failed. So why provoke a war when
1. Confined in a small area.Unable to retreat.
2. While one of their main supporters (Syria)is fighting for their own existence and can't help.
3. Only armament Rockets.
4. No IT support.
5. Most important putting hundreds of thousands of their own people at risk for a war they have no hope of winning.
Are these people Hammas living dreams of warriors that smoked hadish etc and then went to war. It seems these people are on heavy drugs to give them any idea that they can win even a small concession at that cost of their own civilians. They just pawn for Iran and others just find out Israels defense systems? East Timor and other Countries have won concession through the UN .
Residents in Gaza need to rid themselves of Hamas! Hamas is only interested in perpetuating their power at the expense of the general population! It has not improved the lives of the people of Gaza one iota.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:34am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:26am)
Totally agree,Bill. Hamas can build countless tunnels to bring arms into Gaza, but can't build shelters for the Gaza Palestinians. Israel even 'phones the Palestinians to warn them that Isreal is about to attack.But Hamas hasn't provided any protection. How stupid are the Gaza Palestinians to support Hamas?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:55am)
Bill, the big question facing Carr and Gillard is when will Australia declare Hamas to be a prohibited terrorist organisation?
December 21st 2012...Is this the cause??
Anyway, what scares me more is the lack of leadership in this country...could you imagine ANY of the current crop of politicians lead us in any sort of war if things came to the crunch?? They'd need permission from the greens for a start…
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:36am)
It's obvious what's going on here. McTernan spin. Gillard playing to the Jewish lobby, Carr to the Muslims and Greens. Call it out, Andrew.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:38am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:42am)
Good pick up Drw of M. Exactly my thoughts. Gillard sits nicely with pro-Israel voters while Carr serves up the the anti-Israel mob.
Those who think Carr has an ambitious agenda are mistaken.
It's McTernan all over here.
Obviously Bob Carr is one of those left wing apoligists that do not look at the facts and cannot base his comments on common sense. Simple if the palestinian rockets stop then Israel will stop responding HOW HARD IS THAT CARR.. No Arab country or actually no country anywhere would tolerate constant attacks on their country by a neighbour without responding in return, yet these hypocrites critize Israel for doing what anyone would do…
Also I am sick of hearing that Israel has to be careful of hitting civilians, which they are, they even tell the palestinians in advance of an attack. Yet not one person has said for the Palestinians to stop targetting civilian areas… Hamas is indiscriminitly attacking anyone and everyone yet Israel has to try and just target the terrorists…
Bob Carr needs to be sacked as he was only put in his job to kick Rudd out of it and make Gillard happy...SIMPLE AS THAT!!
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:41am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:19am)
It is simple really HAMAS consider women and children legitimate military targets. CARR needs to be removed from his post as Foreign Minister and told to go back to his retirement. But that would be another embarassment to Labor as they would then have to find another Senator to fill the position.
Throughout the US election campaign Republican hopeful Mitt Romney accused President Obama of 'throwing allies like Israel under the bus' that statement is of course not true and not backed up by the facts.
The fact is Obama's initiatives as regards Israel are responsible for saving an untold number of Israeli lives.
"Iron Dome shield restricts Israeli casualties"
"For all the bloodshed and terror wrought by rockets raining down on Israel from Gaza yesterday, the damage would have been far worse without Iron Dome, a missile defence system built with American help and especially designed to defend the Jewish state".
Iron Dome uses small radar-guided missiles to blow up Katyusha-style rockets with ranges of between 5 kms and 70 kms , as well as mortar bombs, in mid-air.
Obama seeks $205 million for Israel rocket shield
May 13, 2010 White House spokesman Tommy Vietor…
" President Obama recognises the threat missiles and rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah pose to Israelis, and has therefore decided to seek funding from Congress to support the production of Israel's short range rocket defense system called Iron Dome,"
According to the State Department, U.S. military aid to Israel in 2009 totaled $2.55 billion. This will increase to $3 billion in 2012, and will total $3.15 billion a year from 2013 to 2018.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:46am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:32am)
If Obama had acted to eliminate the Hamas threat there would have been no need for USA funding of an Iron Dome Shield.
Also consider this. What happens to the missiles deployed by Iron Dome to intercept rockets fired from within Gaza if they miss the Hamas rocket. Some do some don't, that's why more than one missile is deployed against each incoming Hamas rocket. Considering that the unspent missiles are heading for Gaza, from whence the rocket came, could they not land and kill/injure people in Gaza? Would you hold Obama responsible for such deaths caused by 'his' funded Iron Dome missiles?
The fact that Gaza has not been turned into an open air parking lot shows that the Israeli's are already showing maximum restraint.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:50am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:11am)
1000% correct DC66. In fact in any other country in a similar situation, the other side would have been an open air parking lot decades ago.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:14am)
Don't complain when a new power emerges in the ME and does what your suggesting to the Jewish nation in retaliation.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:35am)
Talal is back and doing for Iran what mcTernan does for the ALP.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:41am)
That will never happen, talal, and you know it.
Any power in the ME that is not Israeli will not be muslim. They will spend far too much time killing each other. Witness Iraq and Iran, Iraq and Kuwait, Turkey and Syria, Syria and Lebenon, Iran and everyone else. Heck, if you venture further afield, you get Egypt vs Egypt, Libya vs Libya, Algeria vs Algeria, and the complete clusterfrag that is Sudan.
The only way your prediction of a new ME power rising can come true is if the US or China paves their takeover with napalm and cluster bombs. If that were the case, then I highly doubt Israel will be threatened in any way. In many ways, I hope that China will make an attempt to takeover the ME. They do not fart arse around with islamic terrorists. They just swat them like the vicious insects they are, and their insecticide of choice is a few tons of lead applied a few ounces at a time coupled with several thousand tons of high explosives.
So please. Do continue with your fantasy in which the solitary islamic flea will bring down the elephant. It will make sitting on you that much sweeter.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:51am)
"Don't complain when a new power emerges in the ME and does what your suggesting to the Jewish nation in retaliation."
Over this diggers dead body Talal.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:03am)
"...in retaliation"
In retaliation for what?
More imaginary outrages against the Arabs?
And what new power are you refering to?
Surely not Iran? Its nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes. I mean, isn't that what you've been saying?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:03am)

Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:15am)
Talal… So DC66 should not complain if what you says will happen, actually happens. But it seems you are complaining about Israel, who has not done as you say will happen to them...??
Strange logic…
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:31am)
Talal, the arabs have been trying to destroy Israel for over 60 years, so far with singular and spectacular lack of success.
So don't hold your breath, and happy nakba.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:52am)
Talal on cue. Do you seriously believe that if it came to that sort of threat "the West" would stand by and watch Israel be destroyed or that Israel would not turn your ME new power into a glass paved parking lot? To understand the military culture of the west I suggest you read two books by Victor Davis Hanson. 1. The Western Way of War. 2. Why the West Has Won - also - published as Carnage and Culture from Salamis to Vietnam. People who wish these things have obviously never been to war. Israel has been most restrained. If Hamas does not move into the civilised world they are going to find there will be a serious shortage of virgins in Paradise.
How can you believe a thing Gillard says?
She's trying to sound like a 'statesperson'!
She advocates a 2-state solution, as per the article in the OZ.
I think she means what Obama means: go back to the indefensible 1967 borders, 'land swaps' and all that stupid drivel that the left throws up all the time.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:57am)
Carr, like the Palestinian terrs, has a cognitive problem separating cause and effect.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (09:57am)
Did anyone actually get the opportunity to vote for Bob Carr at the last federal election?
Labor's idea of a democracy.....err communism; Installing a failed state leader into one of the most important positions in the country on a whim.
Enjoy your time in the sun Bob......
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:03am)
This latest trouble cannot end happily for anyone if it comes to full on war. Egypt under a Muslim Brotherhood Government might just tear up its peace treaty with Israel. Lebanon may throw its weight behind HAMAS. Syria may use this conflict to divert attention from its current internal problems. The big consideration in this whole affair is Iran. If they decide to support everyone, against Israel, with weapons then the wholle affair can turn very nasty but Israel should hold its own without resorting to potential nuclear strikes. If however Iran throws her considerable military might against Israel and their allies (America) then it could turn very nasty very quickly.
I hope that sense will prevail on both sides and Israel limits it ground attack to just destroying HAMAS's military power. I also hope the muslim world decides to hold back and try to convince HAMAS to show restraint.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:07am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:47am)
Limiting the offensive will just allow the vermin to survive, adapt, flourish and regroup for another attack. That is what that has allowed this unacceptable state of affairs to continue for so long.
No. What is required is the complete overwhelming application of force in order to completely eradicate the vermin AND those who harbour them. It will cause more deaths in the short term, but in the long term, it will cause less as the continued hemorraghing of lives will cease immediately. Think of it as quickly ripping off a band-aid. Sure, it stings like hell at first, but it will very quickly fade. Better than pulling off the band-aid one hair at a time.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:32am)
Egypt under a Muslim Brotherhood Government might just tear up its peace treaty with Israel. Lebanon may throw its weight behind HAMAS. Syria may use this conflict to divert attention from its current internal
Don't forget the Iraqis GeoffC,
After the American led invasion, the people of Iraq participated in free and democratic elections. The result of which was a Shia dominated Government headed by Prime Minister Nouri al Malaki the secretary-general of the Islamic Dawa Party.
Malaki was a member of the Dawa party when it was classified as a terrorist organisation, they had close ties to Hezbollah.
The new Malaki government is now aligned to its old enemy the Islamic Republic of Iran, the major sponsor of international terrorism.
Just another unintended consequence of American hegemony in the Middle East.
I just heard on the radio that Carr once again advised Israel to show restraint. Is he a blind fool and idiot? That's what Israel have been doing all this time. If they didn't show restraint they would have invaded and taken over the other side by now. Boy, Carr is such a fool. Israel has all the rights and power to defend herself and should now carry out the invasion with full force. If Carr doesn't like it then perhaps he should get a gun and help the other side to stop the invasion.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:07am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:46am)
Everyone knows that:
- Israel is capable of killing 1000, or 10,000 civilians in Gaza, but it has no desire to do so
- Hamas has the desire to kill 1000, or 10,000 civilians in Israel, but doesn't have a capability.
Who is showing restraint then?
Is Carr's response an indication of deals done to secure our Security Council seat?
Would be a sad day if we've sold out in that manner.....
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:08am)
Sure Andrew, and Israel is totally innocent and has never done anything wrong. But you should connect the dots a little better. Israel needs to close down Gaza prior to attacking Iran. After the closedown the strike can be made on Iranian nuclear facilities. The US will then get drawn in and we will slavishly follow.
Netanyahu should be in a padded cell somewhere, not the leader of a nuclear power. Israel has apparently concluded that the nuclear option is viable and their leadership is insane enough to enact it. Rational leaders, like Rabin, get assassinated.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:08am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:20am)
If that was true they would take this opportunity to bomb the heck out of the region. Instead, they are doing pin-point bombing, even taking out a launch site a few meters from a mosque, hitting the launch area and leaving the mosque intact. I wish people like you would REMOVE your frigging blinkers.
If terrorists in Timor started lobbing missiles into Melbourne and Sydney, almost every Australian would agree the time for negotiating was over and the time for bombing begun.
And if we where stealing their land and destroying their economy?
Every Australia would be say stop doing that.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:13am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:07am)
Gareth Evans didn't.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:13am)
So very little of your alternate world resides out here in the real one.
When Islamic thugs are speaking in English and to the West, just who do you think they are speaking to?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:23am)
Stop the Bombs, then talk....
Australians would support a defensive bombing campaign, then I am sure Australians would ask our leaders to negotiate for a better future.
There is a very simple solution to a very complex problem Jords, Stop bombing Israel..!!
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:32am)
There are no terrorists in East Timor. We don't want their land. There are thousands of such novels written every year on situation such as you have written so buy up you may find an answer.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (12:03pm)
You seem to conveniently forget that Israel's neighbours have had 3 goes at invasion, 1955, 1967, 1971. They lost 3 times. The Palestinians land was not stolen, they lost it. The Israeli's wre keen to return it for peace, but guess what...And the treaties they have with Jordan and Egypt are still holding, so you can't accues them of not abiding by treaties.
600 hundred rockets three dead. compare that to the palestinian losses. there is no comparison. note the israelis do not take on people who can defend themselves eg hezbollha, iran. the worlds most cowardly army.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:13am)
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:49am)
And so the lack of lives lost automatically makes the Israelis the bad guys, huh? Nevermind, who started the fight. Nevermind, who has continually declared they want to destroy the other. Nevermind, anything else. The bad guy is the one with the least lives lost.
What a stunning insight into the collective hivemind of the left.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:58am)
Perhaps it's because Israel is defending itself against Hamas, not Iran? And I don't see anything in Israeli charter calling for the extermination of "Muslims", whereas Hamas wants to drive every Jew into the sea?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:23am)
Name me one sane person living in a an area too small to defend and only rockets against an enemy with defenses to knock out 99.9% of Hamas rockets, A large airforce (equipped with the most modern technology) , tanks , armored vehicles, battle ships. All this while knowing the David and Goliath was a fairy tale and what they are attempting is for real. How can you respect a small number of people that have built special shelters underground in safety making war on a far superior army, while your people , women and children cop the blunt of the bombs,rockets ,tank and naval ships. Big brave men that send kids and women as suicide bombers.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:30am)
Why won't you condemn the bombing of Israel..??
I would like you to state whether you believe rockets sent from Gaza into Israel are a good or bad thing? Should they stop or continue?
How many rockets should Israel put up with before taking action?
"note the israelis do not take on people who can defend themselves"… I note that Hamas have taken on someone who can defend themselves, and they are. So, as stated by you, that makes it ok.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:51am)
Well that's a great outlook, instead of waging a small war you would prefer a really big war.
Peace for some no peace for others.
Both sides should calm down, from my point of view the average Palestinians are left in Poverty with not much of a future, Israel always has to look over its shoulder in fear of being attacked.
This is the work of ratbags who don't care about people and want a really big war.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:54am)
So it is ok to fire rockets at someone if they prove to be ineffective?
Are you happy for NZ to fire 800 or so rockets into Cronulla and hope they don't kill anybody there?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:58am)
So, because Israel has had fewer casualties, they must be in the wrong. What a geo-politcal genius you are. Hamas fire indiscriminently into towns and cities, hide their weapons in civilian buildings, and Israel are the cowards???
And don't tell me, so of your best friends are Jews…
Mon 19 Nov 12 (11:59am)
Seriously? Who do you think the Israelis kicked to the kerb in Lebanon? Hezbollah. Whose planes bombed Iranian nuclear facilities?
Will you be cheering when Israel is consumed by Islamic nukes because leftist apologists decided that Islamic terrorism is acceptable and forced their Governements to stop supporting Israel? THAT is the future.
Mon 19 Nov 12 (12:02pm)
Are you offering to do a hous swap with someone from southern Israel if it's no big deal having rockets lobbed at you?
Carr's "advice" to Israel just got another run on the 10.00 am News.
Gillard backs Israel and Carr warns them without a word to Hamas or Hezbollah.
What gives?
Mon 19 Nov 12 (10:14am)
There will be no peace in the middle east until EVERY nation on the planet recognises Israels right to exist.
When this happens ( and ONLY WHEN) then Israel will be willing to give up things. Why should Israel want peace with a people whose leaders refuse to recognise its right to exist?

Disney is Really Piling Up the Bodies With All the Death in Their Movies!
I know I'm late to the party, but I just go the chance to go see Big Hero 6 yesterday at the theater. I really liked it, the story was good, the lighting and graphics were freaking unbelievable and, of course, how could I not love Baymax? According to Free Beer and Hot Wings, that's me!
But something happened sort of early in the movie that reminded me of Disney's love for killing people off.

Device and PA Circuit Level Validations
Linear Technology introduces new high reliability H grade and military MP grade versions of the LTC3615 and LTC3615-1, high efficiency, 4 MHz synchronous buck regulators that incorporate a constant frequency, current-mode architecture. Low resistance internal switches enable the LTC3615 to deliver up to 3A of continuous output current from each channel while its low dropout operation provides an output voltage ranging from 0.6 V to just millivolts below VIN. The LTC3615 operates from an input voltage of 2.25 to 5.5 V, making it ideal for single-cell Li-Ion applications as well as 3.3 and 5 V intermediate bus systems. Its switching frequency is user programmable from 400 kHz to 4 MHz, enabling the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors. The LTC3615 offers selectable 0°/90°/180° phase shift while the LTC3615-1 offers selectable 140°/180° phase shift between channels. The combination of its fast switching capability and the very small 4mm x 4mm QFN-24, or thermally enhanced TSSOP-24 package, offer a highly compact solution footprint for applications requiring dual outputs up to 3A.
The LTC3615 uses internal switches with RDS(ON) of only 55 and 75 mOhms to deliver efficiencies up to 94%. Burst Mode® operation reduces no-load quiescent current to only 130 µA, maximizing both light-load efficiency and run time in battery-powered applications. An adjustable Burst Mode clamp enables designers to optimize light load efficiency. For applications requiring the lowest possible noise, the LTC3615 can be configured to run in either pulse-skipping or forced continuous modes, reducing noise and potential RF interference. Programmable switching slew rates further reduce potential noise concerns. Selectable 0°, 90° or 180° of phase shift between its two channels minimize input current ripple as well as output voltage ripple. The LTC3615 offers inputs for tracking capability as well as a DDR memory mode in which the device can source/sink ±1.5A. Additional features include optional active voltage positioning (AVP), a Power Good voltage monitor, external synchronization capability and thermal protection.
The LTC3615 and LTC3615-1 are available in a 4 mm x 4 mm QFN-24, and a 24-lead, thermally enhanced TSSOP package. The high reliability H grade versions are guaranteed to meet specifications over the -40° to 150°C operating junction temperature range and are priced at $5.00 and $5.35 each, respectively in 1,000-piece quantities. The military MP grade versions are guaranteed to meet specifications over the -55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range and are priced at $12.55 and $13.00 each, respectively in 1,000-piece quantities. All versions are available from stock. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LTC3615.

"I'm stuck with a 2yr contract with a phone that does not do what they said it can do"If you said an iPhone5 is not doing what you want it to do, I believe you do not know how t o operate the phone. The phone is similar to an Android but have different way of operation; however, iPhones are more expensive and you may need to pay extra to have the same functionality as Androis. Either iPhone or Android should be able to do what you want (rhapsody & ring tone). The part that does not work is the Verizon plan, NOT the phone.
I am sorry to hear that you did not get what you want because of Verizon's out-of-date website. I would recommend you next time (or whenever you need a new phone) to go to one of their (or other phone provider) retail store to ensure that you would get to see the product (in person).
PS: It is not nice to call the other person on the phone line as 'worker'. From what I gathered from your post, the person is a customer service who may also sells their product at the same time. They are not to blamed when something like this goes wrong, but most people do anyway. Yes, you can call others whatever you like, but it also shows who you are as a person to others.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Thoughts on opponent, Jan Blachowicz? An experienced strong fighter who has been top-ranked in Europe for many years. He beat my teammate Ilir Latifi, who is a monster, so I know I need to be at my best to beat Jan in Hamburg.
TRAINING: As usual, training at least two times a day - one morning session and one evening session. In between, I go for massages and treatments to keep my body sharp for every training session.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started to train MMA in 2006 and before that I trained in boxing. It feels so real when you're standing in the cage next to your opponent. I just like it a lot.

How are we all feeling today? Nausea hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. I couldn't even look at my coffee again! I slept terribly last night and had weird, vivid dreams that kept me tossing and turning. DH is going to Dallas for a concert tonight so I am on my own all day today, all night, and half the day tomorrow. Awesome.

Remember Head Automatica? The mid-2000s emo-pop-rock band may have not had a long career, but it still is immortalized in a pair of friends and family-only Nike Air Force 1 His. What more could you ask for? When you're comprised of Glassjaw's Daryl Palumbo and Dan the Automator, it's easy to get freebies. The sneaker's brown, pink, and green color scheme was searched out by heads who weren't even down with the the band's shrill vocals, but only 48 pairs were produced; leaving many unsatisfied. We had them first.

Afrojack and Steve Aoki, affectionately known as "Afroki," were at Amsterdam's Kingsday Festival and decided to drop a new collaborative track, which currently is untitled. This one is a pretty obvious melding of their signature sounds, and feels like the soundtrack for the summer festival season. Has a bigger, more epic vibe to it without being totally cheesy, which DAD can respect.

Lucky number 13
Subject: Displays | January 16, 2009 - 02:48 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
X-bit Labs has hit the thirteenth iteration of their series of comparisons of 19" monitors, this time with seven models from four different companies. Thanks to the popularity of larger sized monitors, and general reduction in the price of LCDs, you can get a 19" display for very little money. Perhaps even better is that for a little more money, you can get very nice features on that 19" monitor. Those same features on a 22" or larger display make the cost prohibitive.
"In our today's article we are going to discuss another seven displays with 19-inch diagonal from Acer, Asus, Samsung and ViewSonic. Among them are a couple of pretty unusual solutions: one based on PVA matrix and another one with a built-in web-cam."
Here are some more Display articles from around the web:
A different way to think about your display
Subject: Displays | December 16, 2008 - 04:50 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
As much as you may want a 100" high def display, the space it takes up can really put a damper on your plans. That doesn't mean you have to stop dreaming, you just have to dream of a different box. For $1000 you can get your hands on a 720p projector, or for $2000 you can get 1080p quality. If that sounds like something you could use in your life drop by Digital Trends to see all 10 models.
22" widescreens are the new entry level monitor
Subject: Displays | December 8, 2008 - 03:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Envision isn't a big name in monitor, but that didn't stop OCIA from trying out their Envision G218a1 22" professional monitor. The stats look good, 1680 x 1050, a response time of 5ms, brightness of 300 nit and the contrast ratio is 700:1. In testing, it did offer enough quality that it would pass for most gamers wanting more screen for less money, but make sure you find it at the $160 price that OCIA did.
Touch of inconsistency
Subject: Displays | November 24, 2008 - 12:18 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Samsung's new Touch of Colour series of LCD displays received a mixed review from X-bit Labs. Even though these monitors are all part of the same series, the differences between the models are quite extreme. The 19" and 22" models received top marks, with X-Bit Labs describing them as leaders in their classes. On the other hand, the 20" and 26" suffered various problems, including the need for a lot of work to be done on the colours to get proper reproduction.
Look at the all the pretty colours
Subject: Displays | November 14, 2008 - 04:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you need perfect colour representation that can show colours other monitors only wish they could display, a backlit LCD might be your best choice. ViewSonic now offers a VLED221wm, which is a 22-inch 1680x1050 widescreen LED backlit LCD monitor for not too steep a price. It will certainly set you back a bit more than a regular LCD, but this screen is not really aimed at the casual gamer. Think Computers were absolutely blown away by this displa
No more partial HD for you
Subject: Displays | November 4, 2008 - 02:44 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Two 1080p displays from BenQ the 22" E2200HD and the 24" E2400HD are both up for review at AnandTech. Both models have DVI with HDCP support inputs along with HDMI and analog VGA. Either will give you a nice crisp display at
2 matrices equals 3 dimensions
Subject: Displays | October 28, 2008 - 02:53 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Probably the hardest thing about reviewing a 3D monitor is that it is impossible to show in screenshots what the experience is actually like. Other monitor reviews can contrast the colour levels, saturation, bleed and other easily measurable and displayed data, you can't really do that for the biggest feature in 3D monitors. X-bit Labs didn't let that stop them from doing a review of the iZ3D Stereoscopic LCD monitor. The monitor does have advantages o
Soyo's shiny Pearl
Subject: Displays | October 2, 2008 - 02:37 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Soyo Pearl Series 24-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor is a 2ms response time, 1920x1200 native resloution with built in speakers and support for both DVI and VGA input. Think Computers thought it a rather nice choice for gamers, especially those who prefer a glossy screen on their LCD; those who like a matte finish may disagree.
Go big or go home
Subject: Displays | September 16, 2008 - 03:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you are setting up a killer gaming rig, with multiple graphics cards and a gig or more of video memory then you won't be getting your moneys worth unless you play at very high resolutions. If you stay with 1680x1050 you won't be much better off than with a single card. If you go big, like 2560 x 1600, then you will be using the graphics power to it's utmost. To be able to run those resolutions you will need a 30" monitor, like the
Overkill for gamers
Subject: Displays | August 21, 2008 - 03:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Samsung's $4000 SyncMaster XL30 LED Backlit LCDis a little much for your average gamer, as not too many people care to ensure that the blood flying from their opponents is a perfectly accurate shade of red. On the other hand, those who make their living through graphical design have to have accurate colour depiction. That is exactly what the XL30 provide,

AbstractGiven the occurrence frequency of any term within any set of articles within MEDLINE, we define "characteristic" terms as words and phrases that occur in that literature more frequently than expected by chance (at p < 0.001 or better). In this report, we studied how the cut-off criterion varied as a function of literature size and term frequency in MEDLINE as a whole, and have compared the distribution of characteristic terms within a number of journal-defined, affiliation-defined and random literatures. We also investigated how the characteristic terms were distributed among MEDLINE titles, abstracts, and last sentence of abstracts, including "regularized" terms that appear both in the title and abstract of the same paper for at least one paper in the literature. For a set of 10 disciplinary journals, the characteristic terms comprised 18% of the total terms on average. Characteristic terms are utilized in several of our web-based services (Anne O'Tate and Arrowsmith), and should be useful for a variety of other information-processing tasks designed to improve text mining in MEDLINE.

A weak global economy has quashed demand for titanium dioxide, a white pigment used in paints and coatings.
The decline stems from the economic problems of a hard-hit Europe and a slowing China, where the pace of construction -- red-hot until last year -- has cooled. With demand weak, paint makers have slashed their orders of the pigment.
That has hurt results at Tronox, one of the pigment's largest producers. In the September quarter, its titanium-dioxide sales fell 30% from the level a year earlier. Tronox shares (ticker: TROX) have tumbled, too, by 50% since June. But the selloff seems overdone. At a recent price of $15.65, Tronox looks cheap, trading at a 37% discount to its stated book value of $25, and for 6.6 times next year's estimated earnings.
There's reason to think that demand for titanium dioxide could rebound. As that happens, over the next year, Tronox stock could double.
Tronox was spun off from Kerr-McGee in 2005, not long before the financial crises hit and demand for titanium dioxide plummeted. Tronox, which had been saddled with significant environmental liabilities from Kerr-McGee, filed for bankruptcy.
Two years later, in 2011, it emerged, with a cleaner balance sheet, the liabilities remediated to a trust, and significant tax credits.
Last summer, Tronox bought the mineral-sands operations of Exxaro Resources (EXX.South Africa), a South African miner, in exchange for a 38.5% stake in itself. The mineral-sands operation includes feedstock used to make titanium dioxide. That makes Tronox the world's largest vertically integrated pigment producer. Once the deal closed in June, Tronox was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. At the end of July, the stock split, 5 for 1.
With more than 1,000 customers in 90 countries, Tronox has 8% of the global titanium dioxide market, and is the only producer, aside from DuPont, that uses 100% chloride in its production process. This typically creates a higher-quality product than the rival sulfate process. The company gets 77% of its sales from the paint and coatings industry, and 20% from plastics. Its customers include blue-chip outfits like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams SHW -0.24082929042616313% Sherwin-Williams Co.

With the acquisition of Exxaro's mining unit, Tronox produces zircon, a co-product of titanium feedstock mining used to whiten tiles, and pig iron, which is used to produce steel.
In the September quarter, sales were split between pigments and minerals. For the full year, analysts estimate that Tronox could earn $249 million, or $3.25 a share, on $2 billion in revenue. Next year, EPS is expected to dip to $2.36 a share, before reviving in 2014, if pigment demand rises, as seems likely.
The current weakness dates to 2011's fourth quarter. Since then, customers have been primarily living off their pigment stockpiles, and delaying new orders. But now, inventories have fallen, and customers who have been substituting cheaper materials for titanium dioxide have reached a point where adding more of these to their products would threaten quality.
An improving U.S. housing market, and stimulus policies in China, could also stoke demand. In a Nov. 12 earnings release, CEO Tom Casey said: "While demand for our pigment products has been weak, we believe the fundamental conditions underlying demand for these products have begun to recover, and we believe sales will begin to increase next year."
As demand ramps up, Tronox should benefit from its vertically integrated model. It will be consuming its own low-cost feedstock, rather than feedstock bought elsewhere, boosting operating leverage and margins.
As for its balance sheet, Tronox has $774 million in cash to $1.6 billion in debt, or net debt of 19% of total capitalization. The company is expected to generate $252 million in free cash flow this year. A shareholder-friendly management used some of its cash to buy back 10% of Tronox's stock in the September quarter, and to pay a hefty $1.00-a-share annual dividend, producing a 6.4% yield.
Meryl Witmer, general partner of Eagle Capital Partners, who recommended Tronox in the 2012 Barron's Roundtable, still likes it, and thinks the shares are dirt cheap. She notes that the company's replacement cost totals roughly $35 a share.
In addition, Tronox has $3.50 a share in net operating losses, and could reap a large settlement from its pending $14 billion lawsuit against Kerr-McGee, now a unit of Anadarko Petroleum APC 0.19945602901178605% Anadarko Petroleum Corp.

Tronox claims that the environmental liabilities Kerr-McGee left it with in the spinoff drove it into bankruptcy.
As pigment demand normalizes, Witmer says, Tronox could hit $30 to $50, given how volatile its stock has been.

I have recently attended this church and found it to be a warm, spiritual environment. I am a single mom and found the people here to be welcoming and friendly. The pastor and all of the Tongan people I met were so nice. I have been to other churches in the area and found them a bit judgmental about my situation, being a single mom with two kids. I didn't feel that way at all here. I felt like this is a place to come and worship and celebrate faith. I will definitely be back!
Homophobic Church09/21/2008
This church is horrible. It held a service today to convince people to Vote Yes on Prop 8, which would ban gay people from getting married in California. Discriminating against and hating gay people should not be a value anybody holds. Horrible. You people should be ashamed. Please move out of the Bay Area. You are a disgrace to this area. Ask yourselves how you would feel if people discriminated against South Pacific Islanders such as yourselves and we passed a law that would ban you from getting married.

Republicans Hope to Find 'Missing' Evangelical Voters
From the multi-station cafeteria to the gift shop to the theater-style sanctuary, worshipers at Prestonwood Baptist Church believe — or hope — that next year's election will see something new: long-lost evangelical voters.
"So many don't vote — it just makes me sick," said Marjoray Wilemon, a retiree from Arlington, Texas, who has seen a lot of politics in her 94 years.
"I hope that some people will realize what kind of bad shape we're in."

1. Andy Dalton's interceptions: The Bengals' rookie quarterback stumbled at times the past two weeks when the caliber of defense improved. Dalton threw five interceptions against Pittsburgh and Baltimore after getting picked off seven times in his first eight games. Not all the turnovers can be put on the second-round pick, but fewer early mistakes would cut down on the fourth-quarter deficits.
2. Joe Flacco's fumbling: The Ravens quarterback is having more trouble holding on to the ball than ever. Flacco lost the ball Sunday when he hit the arm of fullback Vonta Leach on what looked to be an eventual handoff to Ray Rice. This was his 10th fumble of the season, which is one shy of his career high that he set as a rookie. Flacco has fumbled six times in the past six weeks.
3. Injuries to star players: The Browns already have ruled out running back Peyton Hillis (hamstring) and aren't sure about the availability of backup Montario Hardesty (calf). The Steelers probably won't have their top pass-rusher, outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley (hamstring), for a third straight game. The Ravens could get back inside linebacker Ray Lewis (toe), but he likely won't be at full strength. And the Bengals could be facing another game-time decision with leading receiver A.J. Green (knee).
1. Colt McCoy's accuracy: One reason for renewed optimism in McCoy has been his increased completion rate. He has connected on 72.5 percent of his throws the past two games (37 of 51) after completing 57.4 percent of his passes in his first eight games. This is the same quarterback who didn't complete half his throws in three of his first five games. He's also had two completions of more than 50 yards the past two weeks.
2. Ravens' explosive plays: Nearly half of Baltimore's offensive output in Week 11 came on four plays. Anquan Boldin scored the Ravens' first touchdown on a 35-yard catch-and-run. Rice had a 59-yard run (his second 50-plus yard run of the season) that led to a field goal in the third quarter. And Torrey Smith scored on a 38-yard grab in the fourth quarter and set up a second-quarter touchdown with a 49-yard diving catch. These are no longer your grind-it-out Ravens.
3. Favorable scheduling: The Ravens and Steelers are getting some help from the NFL schedule-makers this week. The 49ers are having to make a cross-country trip on four days' rest to play in Baltimore on Thanksgiving night. The Ravens will have an extra day to prepare on Wednesday while the 49ers are on a six-hour flight to Baltimore. The Chiefs are going against the Steelers after traveling from New England on a short week having played on Monday night. Pittsburgh is coming off two weeks' rest because of its bye.

Did you do some performance testing? I'm not sure whether this really impacts performance in a noticeable negative way.
Anyway, applying this patch breaks the testsuite (FAIL: test_urlconf_overridden_with_null (regressiontests.urlpatterns_reverse.tests.RequestURLconfTests)) and breaks assigning request.urlconf:
The patch at least needs improvement and probably additional justification too.

With this patch, setting request.urlconf to None would return a resolver based on settings.ROOT_URLCONF instead of raising an ImproperlyConfigured exception. I have to say that I find this rather elegant and logic. Of course, this should be documented (and the failing test fixed). Opinions?

text: Technically, you have quite a bit of power. You could fill a bottle with the wrong medication or prescribe an incorrect dosage and potentially be responsible for a patient's death. But that's not really the type of power you generally want to exercise. The greatest power comes in the research department, when you're contributing to advancements in the field of pharmacology. Not to be confused with "farm ecology," which is the study of pigs in #$%&.

So my DF and i had decided on a big wedding summer of 2012 before we found out we were expecting... And i still want that big wedding celebration with all my friends and family but after telling my grandparents about the baby yesterday they are really pushing for us to go and have a civil ceremony before the baby gets here and still have our big wedding next summer.
Now my and DF have talked about it prior and to us it wasnt a big deal and we dont care either way.. To me the only real benefit when we discussed it was insurance... but i love and respect my grandparents so much and they have done so much for me and i feel like i need to do this for them... I mean either way i still end up with my beautiful baby and the man of my dreams right??
My only question is does anyone know how the civil ceremony works? and then how does the big wedding work later on? which date is your real wedding anniversary??? lots to try and figure out! someone please help!!!!
