Notes

A senior Hamas official tells CNN that a "calming down" will be announced at 9 p.m. local time (2 p.m. ET). The "calming down" of the deadly attacks of the past week in Israel and Gaza could halt violence, but is not the same as an official cease-fire or truce, CNN's Ben Wedeman reported. A source familiar with discussions in Jerusalem told CNN that Israel has not agreed to a cease-fire. "One of the Israeli demands is that there should be a period of total calm for 24 hours before committing to any agreement," that official said. Negotiations are continuing, the source said. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is due to arrive in the region soon to help in negotiations. CNN has multiple crews in Gaza, Israel and neighboring countries to bring you the latest accurate information on the conflict, the impact on people and talks to stop the violence.

“Calming down” What the hell is that?

• We Need some time to regroup and reload.
• We act like children with AK-47 rifles and rocket launchers.
• We don’t actually have control over the people on the street so we promise nothing.
• YIYIYIYIYIIYIYIYIYIYIY!!!!!!!!!!

Hillery did show up in Israel and said something like “Israeli security is rock solid.” Bullshit. Where have you been woman? I suppose you can say anything. Did you redefine “rock” to me mush “solid” to mean on fire? That is how things seem to work under Obama.

What were they thinking? People in the Middle East had no love for Jews before Israel. That is, Jews were hated there just like the rest of the world. Then, they plunk down a Jewish state smack in the middle of the most contested piece of land on the planet. Jerusalem is on the top list of many religions as a place to teach your kids about.

How was it Western Civilization’s decision where the Jewish State is anyway? What gave the Brits at the end of WWII the right to carve up other people’s land? What gives anyone the right to do anything? They take it. They make their right. Isn’t that how everything since the beginning of time has worked? Well, until the advent of political correctness. Suddenly, nothing is worth fighting for. Nothing is dying for.

That is blood under the bridge. Let’s think about today.

Where we are today is a world where no one anywhere has the right to live without being dependant on a state somewhere. No one has the right to learn how to live without a state to be ruled by. No one has the right to be free and make mistakes and learn. No one has the right to teach their children unless the state approves it. No one has the right to hate. If you cannot hate evil, how can you love good?
