I think that we need to get some skunk juice out for this thread.
They make a foul smelling skunk juice that the Isreali spray from water cannons on the Palestine protesters. That stuff smell aweful. and when you cloths are covered in it...you want to go home and take a bath.
Now of course to SB and other here this is brutal treatment. Punishment type tactics.
Really? Compared to other riot control methods used around the global, it is pretty mild stuff. Consider the Chinese repression of the Hgullie riots in western China. Some 200 Hgullies are no longer with us the way those riots were suppressed.
Then you have the tear gas death of the Palestine woman. Now according to some.....she had asthma and got a large doze of tear gas. To others, she was in the hospital 10 days prior to the tear gassing and did not even participate in the tear gas riot.
Now I don't which story is accurate. I mention them both.....because heck....I would hate to be seen here at CS showing a favorism or be bias to one side or the other.
Blues63: Only 5 pages to go till SB's next thread!
I wonder what it will be about.
Now let us be fair here....SB might surprise us. Maybe something on the declining rights of Christians in Iran? Or who about the Christian woman in Pakistan....now facing the death sentence for blasphemy...that got the Pakistani governor killed.....and then 500 cleric saying not to mourn him. Or maybe something on homegrown Islamic terrorist.....

You never know...old SB might surprise us......
That would be a Topic for him,Homegrown Terrorism!
Sb, in your opinion. Why has alAwalki not made attacks on Isreal?
None to date so far. The only target he has picked has been the US.
But surely he has to support the Palestine cause here. bin Laden does. He speaks about it allot in his videos.
So you would think that alAwalki would be using some of his new PET explosives for also Isreal. But he is not.
He is using it all for the US.
My theory is...this is not so much about Isreal to bin Laden and the alAwalki anymore. They are playing for a bigger conflict between the west and Islam.
If so, that sure would minimize your Palestine issue.
SilverBirch: When is the IDF going to stop killing people. Israeli troops have shot dead a sleeping Palestinian man during a dawn raid in the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
Family members found Suliman al-Qawasmeh, 66, in a pool of blood in the bedroom after soldiers broke into several homes in the city's al-Sheikh neighbourhood on Friday.
The raid came less than 24 hours after six Hamas fighters who had been on hunger strike in Palestinian jails were released on Thursday.
Five of them were from Hebron, and one of them, Wael Bitar, arrested by the Israelis, lived one storey below the victim, residents said.
"I was praying when they entered. I do not know how they opened the door. They put their hand to my mouth and a rifle to my head," al-Qawasmeh's wife told the Reuters news agency.
"I was shocked. They did not allow me to talk. I asked them, 'What did you do?' They asked me to shut up."
Later, the Israeli army issued a statement acknowedging that al-Qawasmeh's killing was unintended. It said he "was present in one of the terrorist's homes".
An Israeli military spokesman told the AFP news agency: "There is no indication that was involved in any terror activity at any stage and therefore we regret the incident."
An immediate investigation has been ordered, with a report expected by next week, according to the Israeli army statement.
