The Israeli news service Arutz Sheva is reporting that Saturday afternoon, Islamic Jihad and the Al Alska martyrs brigade used a vehicle labeled TV and blew a hole in the Israeli security fense, attacked and tried to kidnap soldiers. Israel stopped the attack and killed one of the terrorists. If you remember last summer when Gilat Shalit was kidnapped, which he still hasn't been returned, it set off a major offensive and then there was later a copycat kidnapping (and those two soldiers are still not released either despite the peace agreement securing their release) by hezbollah set off the war in Lebannon. Al Alska is the "moderate" Fatah party that the United States and international community is pressuring Israel to support finacially and politically .Fatah is supporting terrorism and is deliberately trying to start another full blown war with Israel and the international media is silent. WHY?

Okay, I am going to outline my questions clearly so there is no confusion as to asking a "non-question"

1) Has anybody had verbal abuse from two certain trolls who have made quite a big stir recently?

2) If so, could I please have a link to the offending question/answer?

3) Has anybody reported abuse for these problems?

4) Do you believe these trolls should stop?

I have not included their names, because I have been accused of instigating a witchunt. I would like to know the answers because I am trying to see exactly what I have done wrong in wanting these users to quit being unkind.

This is neither picking on specific person/s nor asking a non-question. I want to see how far-spread this problem has gone.

Whilst they tour Europe, the BBC news reported that they leave there twins behind in a local nursury. I mean havnt they learnt there lesson??? Leaving there 2 year old kids in a foreign country alone with some foreign child workers. Don't they give a dam about them? Disgraceful! If you have kids you should bloody well look after them! Or at least get there family too. I guess they're use to be dropped of anywhere anytime. Dont just dump them off anywhere with anyone. Have you learnt nothing?

The McCanns (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED copyright 2007) are suspending their high profile freebie world tour to stay in Portugal all Summer to count all their money, sorry, to grieve. Yes, that's what they said. They want to grieve... NOW!! Huh?
Er...could not Maddy be still alive, Gerald? I mean, don't we grieve for the departed, and I don't men distance-wise, I mean breathing-wise?
What a callous pair of liggers, and I reckon they have been told that their jetting around is teeing us all off and to calm it and do something caring parents might do - albeit 37 days too late.
This PLC business is so manufactured, so deliberately and blatantly designed to remove the finger of guilt pointed at them for leaving their kids in a position to be snatched and all this touring nonsense is OTT guilt-deflection.
Well not many of us buy that one, but come on the media. Is it not about time the media laid into these guys for their crime of child neglect?

I believe world war 3 will soon begin ( 3 years or less ) and I believe Iran and Russia will be the main cause. Possibly even a sneak attack from Russia. What is your thought and how soon.

NOW . . . do we feel sorry for her?

Sounds just like what a little child does, as part of a temper tantrum - the first part of which she began, with the screaming in court.

And - what is this nonsense? Her private shrink is seeing her in jail?

There are millions of Africans suffering from aids because the catholic church wont allow its followers to use condoms, but the pope is so concerned about the comparitively few catholics being killed in Iraq. Are his concerns and worries misplaced? (by the way, I'm not a pro-war hate munger, I just have a problem with people in glass houses throwing stones)

This time she was complaining when she was refused permission to put up pictures of Madeleine at Lisbon airport.

Here is the story.

http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272613951.shtml

Seems to me that while the Portugese Police could have handled it in a more sensitive manner, it wouldnt suprise me at all with the number of complaints Philomena McCann has already made about the Portugese that this is yet another 'incident' that was blown out of proportion due to her.

Still gets her publicity hey?

"They just don’t want to admit a child was snatched in their country,” she said. Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, had asked them to put up the posters. The country’s tourist board also refused posters of Madeleine."

Since when does every element of Portugese society have to bow to the McCanns demands? Perhaps if the parents had a trace of humanity and looked after Madeleine in the first place they wouldnt have to blame everyone else.

in the footage from the cctv that shows an explosion at the pentagon. why is it the we never see even the slightest portion of the plane in any frames? surely if something this large hit the pentagon then we would see something even if it is time lapse, after all we see the explosion but nooooooooo plane. if this film is the evidence then the conspiracy theory sould be that a plane did hit the pentagon not that a plane didnt hit it!!!

I've read in many forums that Mitt Romney has been attending meetings in a Mormon temple. I don't know if this is true or if it's just a smear tactic from the left because the leader of the Mormon church was just arrested. Warren Jeffs of the Mormons (FLDS) is accused of statutory rape. Jeffs to the Mormons is a prophet and God's only representative on Earth. Hmm, looks like they haven't changed since the Joseph Smith days. I wonder if this will disqualify Romney from the election?

I saw this on Anderson Cooper on CNN. He is exposing the Mormons and their leader, Warren Jeffs.

story to forestall libreal whine...

quoting.
Sheehan, who announced on Memorial Day that she was stepping down as the face of the anti-war movement, will sell the 5-acre site in Crawford for $87,000
quote 2
"But Cindy does not plan to have a continued presence there."
quote 3
Sheehan had said she would not willingly sell to Move America Forward, an organization that supports the U.S. intervention in Iraq, which wanted to buy the land to erect a monument
quote 4.
A telephone message left Friday as not immediately returned.
quote 5
she bought the property last year for $52,500,
1.) As Nancy Pelosi was more concerned with installing millions in pork to the iraqi bill and Cindy is selling to a group totally opposite her beliefs isnt the money really dictating BOTH OF THEM"?
2.) Doesnt this truly define classic Pelosi hypocritical liberalism?
3.)Does anyone think Sheehan will return the call? Fat chance!!!

In your opinion, do you believe that Paris Hilton going back to prison will hurt her career and reputation? Who or why not?

I do not believe that Paris Hilton's career will not be ruined because when celeberties get arrested and go to prison, it does not have any major impact on their career and reputation but when the Average American citizen does what Hilton did, it can damage their reputation and their career because they could lose their job as a result.

It seems as if much of the emphasis on providing funds for research or to help less fortunate countries is always on AIDS.

Why don't we governments or individuals talk about curing or fighting malaria, sanitation-caused illnesses, cancer, heart disease, kidney disease or other health issues that kill just as many people or more than AIDS does.

It there a political agenda behind fighting AIDS?

He's a major activist when it comes to spending government (i.e. taxpayer) money on worthy causes such as AIDS in Africa. Yet this filthy rich guy moves his business from the UK to Holland specifically to avoid paying taxes.

It's easy to advocate spending someone else's money. Does anyone know if Bono actually reaches into his own pocket to help others? I have the impression that he doesn't.
