Bradley Burston, Haaretz, March 31:
Daniel Pipes is a new kind of Israel-basher. He is an equal-opportunity hater of Israelis. None of us is good enough for him. We lack the will to fight like the man he quotes as a role model for us, Douglas MacArthur. From unilateralism to transfer, nothing we come up with is good enough for him. Try as we might, we just can’t seem to win his war for him. I guess he’ll just have to do it by himself.
We shoud be grateful for guys like Pipes, Hitchens, Horowitz and Desrshowitz for the comic relief they regularly provide the masses.
Pipes and his lunatic neocons liek Kristol really believe there was nothing with the war, but that we didn’t want to win it badly enough. IN their mind, the troops have not yet begun to fight. I alway re,emebr Galloway’s comment abotu Hitchens, that Hitch is prepared to fight to the last drop of others people’s blood.
The same can surely be said of Pipes.
Yes, but Pipes is prepared to suck every drop of bigW’s ejaculant, so therefore he has under this administration, big potential.
This is an extremist, not Pipes:
An Arab terrorist of Fatah’s Al-Aksa Brigade, dressed as a Jewish hitchhiker, blew himself up inside the car of those who picked him up near Kedumim, in Samaria - murdering four Jews.
The attack took place shortly before 10 PM near the gas station and hitchhiking station adjacent to the town of Kedumim. Details of the attack were a while in coming because of the flames that engulfed the car, which burned for close to an hour before anyone was allowed to go near it. Identifying the victims was therefore a difficult task.
It was later learned that the car had four occupants - the owners, Rafi and Helena HaLevy, both 60, of Kedumim; Reut Feldman, 20, from Herzliya; and Shaked Lasker, 16 - in addition to the terrorist. The murderer, who was dressed as a religious Jew, apparently entered the car near Karnei Shomron, possibly together with the other two ‘trempistim’ [hitch-hikers], and the car drove east towards Kedumim.
Just outside Kedumim, the terrorist detonated his explosive, which was estimated at 10 kilograms, and all inside were killed instantly. Rafaela Segal, a resident of Kedumim said, “I live opposite the gas station, and at 9:45, we heard a tremendous explosion; the walls shook… We saw a car burning.” Pieces of the car flew dozens of meters from the force of the blast.
A Kedumim resident who was driving a car behind them later said, “I saw the car veer strangely, then stop abruptly, and then, within seconds, there was a tremendous explosion.” Another neighbor said that the HaLevys had acted heroically, refusing to drive the car into the community when they understood the terrorist’s intentions. “They bodily prevented many other people from being killed,” she said.
Where is Kedumim? - In “the territories”?
Hello.
