ROGUE TERROR

Terrorism has taken a nasty turn. Commenter Human says the news makes his "soul hurt". Glenn Condell, in an uncharacteristically politically incorrect moment, calls the perpetrators "pigs". The obviously distraught dirtbikeoption summarises:"This act is as despicable as any act of terrorism, anywhere."

So, who and what are we talking about here?

"Israel is deploying a terrifying new tactic against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip by letting loose deafening 'sound bombs' that cause widespread fear, induce miscarriages and traumatise children.

"The removal of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip opened the way for the military to use air force jets to create dozens of sonic booms by breaking the sound barrier at low altitude, sending shockwaves across the territory, often at night. Palestinians liken the sound to an earthquake or huge bomb. They describe the effect as being hit by a wall of air that is painful on the ears, sometimes causing nosebleeds and 'leaving you shaking inside'."

You knew it was those fucking Jews, didn't you?
