3:13 PM Channel 2 reports over 30 shock, smoke and tear gas grenades were used against the Jews in Hevron. Reports of over 50 Ambulances on standby. A girl being administered oxygen and emergency breathing support can be seen on Channel 10.
Channel 2 reports that the "operation" is almost complete.
3:20 PM Hevron Spokesperson Noam Arnon reports that 5 are seriously wounded; an IAF medivac helicopter is about to evacuate one of the seriously wounded now, and there are dozens of lightly and moderately wounded Jews at the scene.
Ehud Barak chose the day of the Labor's Primaries to ensure Jews should not legally own property in Hevron.
The fires in hell are being stoked now for when he arrives at age 120.
5:30 Reliable Reports from inside Hevron report that there are hospitalized infants from tear-gas inhalation....and that the numbers being broadcast of less than 10 wounded overall, are simply media spin.

When I heard the news at 3pm I was nearly in tears. I don't think I could vote far enough to the right to satisfy my desire to see every ounce of the Left (Kadima + Labor and possibliy whats left of Likud) destroyed.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the left so intent on destroying us???
The house never would have been a problem if only the buyer had given Olmert the envelopes he asked for.
ReplyDeleteI am in tears- so sad to hear this reported....
ReplyDeleteJameel,
ReplyDeleteDid you get my email?
It will just get more violent..you cant win in chevron.. we own dozens of buildings.. kick us out of this and we'll take another..
ReplyDeletethis is all very depressing
ReplyDelete"The fires in hell are being stoked now for when he arrives at age 120."
why do you wish longevity on him?
Loz: Because if I don't with him longevity, the Shabak will be knocking down my door for incitement.
ReplyDeleteMiram: Havent checked email in a bit. Will try motzash.
What drives me crazy are comments like "democracy won today" ..."we have enforced the authority of the government over the people." Don't Barak and Olmert realize that those two statements contradict each other?
ReplyDeleteThe MSM is reporting that there were potatoes with nails stored in the house, and after the expulsion, Jews rioted in Hevron, burning Arab houses.
Is that true? What truly happened there?
Soon:
ReplyDeleteYou should read my post "Let's Talk Totalitarian". That's exactly the point.
The language the Left uses is about forcing the authority of the State onto the citizens, "controlling" the citizens, and the citizens following the will of the government.
Is that statement about the potato believable?
I wouldn't rule out some bored kid sticking a few nails into a potato or two (or more). But consider this, in Gush Katif, in Amona, and now in Hebron they accused us Settlers of throwing acid into the eyes of the Police - which yet again proved to be a bold-faced lie on the part of the police and government in their attempts to malign us.
A lot of what was reported in the MSM wasn't accurate. They didn't discuss how the events a few nights ago began with the Arabs pelting the Jews with stones and not the other way around.
Definition - Pogrom: An organized, often officially encouraged massacre or persecution of a minority group, especially one conducted against Jews.
ReplyDeleteThat would better describe what the government did the rightful owners and residents of the peace house.
