This thing Spock has with "killing Israelis" - I see where he keeps saying or asking: "but is it OK to kill Israelis?" and so on.

Of course it's OK to kill Israelis; killing Israelis is easy - you get a weapon, aim it and pull the trigger/launch the missile/throw the grenade. It's as easy to kill Israelis as it is to kill anyone else.
Since we're in the business, literally, of killing each other, why isn't it OK to kill Israelis, seeing how it's no different to killing someone who isn't an Israeli?

They got selected as the chosen people...again!

GOD NAMES NEXT "CHOSEN PEOPLE"; IT'S JEWS AGAIN
"Oh Shit," Say Jews

Jerusalem (SatireWire.com) Update — Jews, whose troubled, 10,000-year term as God's "chosen people" finally expired last night, woke up this morning to find that they had once again been hand-picked by the Almighty. Synagogues across the globe declared a day of mourning.

According to a worldwide survey of faiths, not a single group expressed an interest in being chosen, and the only application submitted before last night's filing deadline, on behalf of the Islamic people, proved to be a fake.

"Somebody filled out a form and signed our name to it, but I guarantee it wasn't us," said Imam Yusuf Al Muhammed of Medina, Saudi Arabia. "I'm not going to say who it was, but the application was filled out in Hebrew."

"Oh, don't be such a k'vatsh," responded Meyerson. "It's only 10,000 years. Trust me, after a few diaspora, you would have gotten used to the universal hatred thing."

etc etc

JERUSALEM, April 9 -- Palestinian gunmen raided a fuel terminal on the Israeli side of the border with Gaza on Wednesday, killing two Israeli civilians and sparking reprisal attacks that left at least seven Palestinians dead.

The attack marked a rare incursion from the Gaza Strip into Israel, with the fighters breaching an extraordinarily tight security cordon that has reduced to a trickle the flow of people and goods across the border. The day's violence also ended a period of relative calm since early March, when Hamas rocket fire prompted a large-scale Israeli operation in the territory that resulted in the deaths of more than 120 Palestinians.

The fighters burst into the terminal at Nahal Oz, which supplies Gaza with fuel, just after 3 p.m. Wednesday and began firing, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces. They killed two terminal workers, both of whom sustained multiple bullet wounds. Just before the gunmen attacked at Nahal Oz, fighters within Gaza shelled the area with mortars in what Israeli officials said was probably a diversionary tactic.

but what the heck. the "natives" have the right to do everything they want to

 

[S.A.M.]

Ah the natives

The Israeli military said Wednesday that initial findings from its investigation into the killing of a Reuters news agency cameraman indicated that troops did not realize they were firing at a journalist.

Palestinian cameraman Fadel Shana, 23, was killed April 16 by tank fire while covering fighting between Israeli troops and Gaza militants. His colleague Wafa Abu Mizyed was wounded.

Just before his death, Shana was filming an Israeli tank in the distance, and his final footage shows it firing a shell in his direction.

Other cameramen who rushed to the scene said they saw the Reuters vehicle on fire, and Shana's body lying next to it. They said the vehicle was marked as "press" and that the cameraman was wearing a flak jacket also emblazoned with the word "press."

too bad this doesnt get any attention in the international community

At least ten Qassam rockets were fired from Gaza on Thursday afternoon. Seven fell in the area of Sderot, and at least two fell in open spaces near Ashkelon. One of the rockets fell near a high school in Sderot, while another fell in a kibbutz in Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council, damaging a house. The other rockets landed in open spaces in the area of Sderot and Ashkelon, and one has not yet been found but is estimated to have landed near Erez crossing.

Four Sderot residents were treated for shock, including three high school students. Eli Edri, principal of the religious Sderot high school next to which the rocket hit, told Ynet: "Unfortunately this is the daily reality we are faced with. After the firing we try to resume the school routine as quickly as possible, but after every barrage we are forced to evacuate at least one or two students suffering from shock."

[S.A.M.]

I suppose it gets lost in stuff like this:

An Israeli human rights group called Wednesday for a criminal probe into the deaths of a Gaza mother and her four preschool children, saying Israel appears to have violated international law by firing a missile at militants close to the family's home, despite high risk of harming civilians.

Not to mention the military occupation, the apartheid walls, the Jews only roads in Palestine and the illegal settlements.

oops forgot the hundreds of checkpoints in Palestine restricting the movements of Palestinians in their own lands.

i suppose this doesnt account either:

May 2, 2004 - Tali Hatuel, 34, and her daughters - Hila, 11, Hadar, 9, Roni, 7, and Merav, 2 - of Katif in the Gaza Strip were killed when two Palestinian terrorists fired on an Israeli car at the entrance to the Gaza Strip settlement bloc of Gush Katif.

Tali Hatuel and her four daughters were killed when two Palestinian terrorists fired on an Israeli car at the entrance to the Gaza Strip settlement bloc of Gush Katif. They were on their way to campaign against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan. Their white Citroen station wagon spun off the road after the initial shooting, then the attackers approached the vehicle and shot the occupants dead at close range. The Hatuels' car was riddled with bullets, and the carpet inside was stained with blood. The girls were killed hugging one another. On the car was a bumper sticker saying, "Uprooting the settlements, victory for terror."

its because of the occupation right?

 

[S.A.M.]

Of course. They were in the Gaza Strip weren't they? Supporting a military occupation?

edit: 2004? Wow. Had to go back years to find a similar case. Israel on the other hand is always current.

 

[Mr.Spock]

Of course. They were in the Gaza Strip weren't they? Supporting a military occupation?

ill take it you have no problem the entire family died.

 

[S.A.M.]

I wish they had not been living on occupied land. Perhaps they might have survived.

 

[Mr.Spock]

I wish they had not been living on occupied land. Perhaps they might have survived.

so its ok to kill them for living on "occupied land". the irony is that an indian woman think like this - the ones who take pride in a non violent resistance and not a self deluded righteousness.

Oh I do take pride in nonviolent resistance. But I don't know how nonviolent I would be if a foreign military occupier was living in my land. I assume losing a few family members might make me change my mind pretty quick.
