I’m a day late (did an all-nighter putting together a damn trampoline for the kids), but a very Merry Christmas, Wretchard and all the rest of the Belmont Club.

And a happy New Year. 2009 has got to be better than 2008…

I would like to join the rest of the commenters and heartily thank Wretchard for this wonderful site. His hard work, intelligent commentary and unique perspective are greatly appreciated. I have also learned much from the assortment of commenters here.

I sometimes read BC while at work in the university, surrounded by leftoids. I feel quite subversive!

BC has become as indispensable as my morning coffee, and it only seems to improve with age.

Wretchard, thank you for stimulating our days with your thoughts. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and to all others at BC, posters and lurkers alike.

72. X3NA:
What is Israel doing in response to those 80 missiles?

Great question…..

quietly Israel has killed, arrested and stopped HUNDREDS of attackers without doing a hama or a fallujah…

HOWEVER even that has not worked…

You are correct, and in then end, maybe us jews need to forget our ideals, laws and morals and join the rest of humanity before we are snuffed out…

But do me a favor?

when we do start acting like you, dont complain and dont hold us to a HIGHER authority than you hold yourselves…

Occupation,
We had a Hanukkah party at this Christian home on Tuesday. Mrs. Trangbang read the story.
From my view here in the Sonoran desert, you guys have divine right to your desert. My prayer is you prevail.

WiO: and where will you be if you allow Israel and the Jews to once and for all to be snuffed out…

What is Israel doing in response to those 80 missiles?

Israel is preparing for a sizable military operation in the Gaza Strip, Israeli officials warned Thursday as rockets and mortar shells from the Hamas-ruled territory continued to pound southern Israel.

Woooo! Not only a military operation, but a SIZABLE one! That’ll show ‘em. We thought that thing in 2006 was another Israeli-Arab war, but Olmert had the idea of waging a campaign with a goal of zero civilian casualties in a combat zone where the combatants were indistinguishable from the civilians. Because maybe the BBC and Reuters would like Israel better. The result was that we watched a war against Hezbollah shivel into another “sizable miltary operation” except IDF casualties came in at war levels. Tens of thousands of rockets rained down on Israel, you didn’t get your hostages back, you lost your reputation as the regional military superpower, and BBC and Reuters hated you as much as ever. When you get serious about stomping those cocka-roaches out let us know. The Great Satan helps little Satans who help themselves.
