in free and democratic elections

As certified by the man from Plains, no less.

The money quote, as reported from Jpost.com:
Monday's terror attack gives us a painful reminder that we must be vigilant and maintain our readiness in all areas," Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said hours after a 20-year-old woman was killed and 38 people were wounded, one critically, in a suicide bombing at a Dimona commercial center on Wednesday morning.
---------------------------------------

How can Olmert be taken seriously when his actions speak differently?

How many more Jews will needlessly need to die until things change?

I know Robert, myself, and others have mentioned this many times.....I'm just so frustrated that it seems we have learned nothing from history.

Truly sad......

" ... The UK will not survive as a democracy into the next century. ... "

hopefully, it's not that bleak,

the Brits can be a hardy lot,
very patient, but after pushed to a point,
the 'couth' comes off,

and the Brit-Muslim armed conflict will make the English-Irish conflict look like touch football ...

the sad part, is that it's all preventable,
if they would stop the 'Chmberlain appeasement' mode and finally go into 'Churchill liberty' mode

Thanks for the link and for linking to the profile of Kobi Mor.
The initial reports had what actually happened reversed. But killing the terrorist with a head shot makes more sense.

Kishke:

Yes, former President Jimmy Carter certified the elections as fair and absolutely honest. He was, of course, thrilled with the results. What could go possibly go wrong with the election of a group whose charter is partly based, word for word, on The Protocols on the Elders of Zion.

Lance:

The only person who take Olmert seriously is, well, Olmert. His place in history is firmly engraved as the worst leader the State of Israel has ever endured.

Exdem:

I'm not optimistic about the Brits. They seem to be in full appeasement mode with absolutely no awareness of the lines in the sand they have already crossed.

Jew-hatred is a casual fact of life among the chattering classes in the U.K. and when that virus is out in the open and fashionable, well, all bets are off.

The IRA were pussies compared to Islamic jihadists.

Remember: Jews are the canary in the coal mine of civilization.

Robert,

I agree....
However, while this may be the case, Israel suffers.

And it seems the other parties, like Labor, Shas, etc. are more concerned about staying in the ruling coalition than doing the right thing...and bringing down this government and calling for new elections.

In the coming days we will hear tough words and rhetoric but nothing will change.

I do not even think a horrific terrorist attack, Heaven Forbid, would change a thing....the bodies will be swept away and it will be a rush to see who can give the Arabs what they want.

Soccer Dad:

You're very welcome. Getting the story straight in the immediate aftermath of these horrendous homicide bombings is almost impossible. It's amazing that so much is correct. Already we hear that the terrorists came from the peaceful city of Hevron, no doubt good friends of those patriots from Peace Now.

A head shot to a terrorist trying to self-detonate is an amazing accomplishment. Under those circumstances your heart is racing, your throat is dry as the Negev, and fear is eating your soul. Kobi Mor is quite a man, and a great marksman. He risked his life and saved many lives.

I can't imagine what it would take to fire (accurately) in those circumstances.

I am skeptical of the Chevron claim. The families of the two terrorists live in Gaza. But I guess we'll see.

Soccer Dad:

Head shots, even from just a few yards, are incredibly difficult. In the aftermath of a homicide bombing, as another terrorist is about to detonate, your every instinct is to flee. Kobi Mor is an exceptional man.

Here's what we know for certain about the terrorists:

1. They were Arabs.

2. They were Muslim.

3. They were terrorists intent on murdering random civilians.

4. They are heroes to the majority of the Arab world.

5. If not, there would be editorials and newscasts telling us otherwise.

6. They are burning in hell where they belong.

this is what a 'long-gunner' lives for ...

with a reliable sniper rifle, and trusted sight,
at three hundred yards or less, with no thermal wind currents, the target is 'toast' in the hands of a trained marksman

time for as many Jews as possible to get training
in small arms, and know what weapon works best for what situation, and be prepared

Hello, Robert. Yesterday you quoted from The Israel Project "The terrorists infiltrated into Israel from the Sinai region, having originally come from Gaza. The border between Gaza and the Egyptian Sinai peninsula is currently open after Hamas destroyed the border-barrier two weeks ago." This brings to mind Hitler's audacious but successful strategy of circumventing France's highly fortified Maginot Line by invading Belgium then France during WWII. This should worry Israel, because it demonstrates that depending on walls as the end-all defense system is dangerous and ineffective (delusional). The Maginot Line lulled France into a false sense of security in WWII and the Bar Lev line in the Sinai did the same for Israel in the Yom Kippur war. Hamas' actions should prove to Israel that the security wall should be considered at best a back-up strategy, not a cornerstone of the defense policy.

Exdem:

The Israeli policeman, Kobi Mor, was armed with a pistol. No scope, just cold sites. He deserves a huge yasher koach—a promotion, plus a huge raise.

Joel:

Thanks so much. Excellent points. Static defense lines are dangerous, always have been. Back in 1973 they proved almost the downfall of Israel on the Suez. I remember that all too well. The walls must be constantly patrolled by soldiers and flying drones.

Here's a video of Kobi Mor shooting the terrorist. And an interview with him.

Muslims Against Sharia condemn the murderers responsible for the homicide bombing in Dimona as well as degenerate perpetuation of the culture of death in Gaza.

Our prayers are with the victims of this atrocity. We send our condolences to their loved ones.

May the homicide bomber rot in hell for eternity. May his accomplices and animals who celebrated this horrendous act join him soon!

Muslims Against Sharia call on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to shut down Al-Hayat al-Jadida, Al-Iyam and Al-Quds as terrorist mouthpieces that glorify homicide bombings. Failing to do so will show that Palestinian Authority's quest for peace is nothing more than empty words.
