Palestinian seething to ensue.

Operation Grapes of Appeasement
With palestinians so far firing another 25 mortar shells into Israel since last night, Israel has responded as promised yesterday, sending into Gaza 90 “projectiles” of its own.

“The occupation of the synagogue and killing people in hotels tarnishes the Muslim faith,” said Kazim al-Muqdadi, a political science lecturer at Baghdad University. “Anyone who slaughters people and screams `Allahu Akbar’ [...]

It is without question deeply disturbing that terrorists based in the [...]

A nanny, who saved a two-year-old toddler from Mumbai’s Nariman House, escaped from a terrorist attacking the house, who opened fire in her direction, by slamming the door in his face.
