Blast from the past

Thanks to a nice article by Mindy Jacobs in the Edmonton Sun, I found this wildly optimistic dispatch from AP during the Gaza pullout about PalArab hopes and plans for their new statelet:By STEVEN GUTKIN, Associated Press WriterFriday, September 2, 2005 02 15 PMPalestinians are preparing to take over abandoned Jewish settlements in Gaza — drawing up plans for high-rise apartments and debating whether to name evacuated towns after deceased leaders...

An Arab Muslim to respect - Israeli consul in SF

A great article, originally printed in the San Francisco Chronicle.Israel's new consul in San Francisco is a Bedouin named Ishmael Khaldi. This article does not paper over the very real problems that Israeli Arabs suffer but it shows how a mature person can handle such problems.All Arabs and Muslims can learn a lot from Khaldi. Of course, they would call him a traitor and consider him a target for terror. Ishmael Khaldi lived in a Bedouin tent until...

Moroccan Imam recruited suicide bombers

From AP, but hardly published anywhere (only three mentions in Google News): Moroccan police have arrested a Muslim prayer leader who is suspected of recruiting young men to be suicide bombers in the insurgency in Iraq, a newspaper reported. The imam, identified by police simply as Abdelilah according to Aujourd'hui Le Maroc newspaper, was arrested Monday in Tetouan, a city in northern Morocco near the Strait of Gibraltar. Abdelilah preached at...

An American love letter to Ahmadinejad

Sure enough, Ahmadinejad's letter to the wacky liberal moonbats has been embraced and amplified by his target audience. Here is a letter back by a nutty minister:Dear President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,This is an open letter in reply to your "open letter to the American People," as published in the USA by CNN on November 29, 2006.May the One God, Who created all things, and Who gives whatever He wants to whomever He chooses, give His blessing to these...

Ahmadinejad acknowledges the Elders - again

Once again, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has acknowledged my power.In his rambling letter to the American people, he throws this in:What has blind support for the Zionists by the US administration brought for the American people? It is regrettable that for the US administration, the interests of these occupiers supersedes the interests of the American people and of the other nations of the world .What have the Zionists done for the American people that the...

Culture of victimhood

Today is the annual UN-declared "International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People." In the UN calendar, it is the only day of the year dedicated to a single political group of people. They have a significant website dedicated to this day, which of course coincides with the date of the UN resolution to partition Palestine in 1947, a move that the Arab world strongly denounced and now pretends to embrace.This is, of course, not the only...

Olmert's strength

For what is probably the 150th consecutive day, PalArabs fired rockets at Israel from Gaza.But the good news is....the cease-fire is now in its fourth day!And don't worry...Olmert has made a show of strength to stop the rockets once and for all:Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tuesday evening in a meeting with European Union ambassadors in the Finnish ambassador's house that Israel is 'a little disappointed by the continued Qassam firings in the south...

Ethnic cleansing, real and imagined

The always reliable Ramzy Baroud writes a tedious essay in the Arab News/Al Jazeera saying that Israelis are engaging in "ethnic cleansing" of the Palestinian Arab population, and have been since 1947.It is really wondrous that a population that has been ethnically cleansed for some 60 years has managed to multiply by 600% since then.It is also interesting to compare the number of Jews in Arab-controlled areas in 1947 with the number today, if one...

Hamas' take on the Torah

Yesterday I posted a history of Palestine according to Hamas, where the word "inaccurate" does not begin to cover the absurd lies, distortions and omissions that radical Islam is taught as history.The same website has another equally absurd article on the history of Palestine pre-Islam. Debunking a history that is based on the fairy-tales of the Koran is too easy (even with their occasional mention of unnamed "historians" who can supposedly corroborate...

Hamas' hilarious "history"

A British website named Palestine-info is associated with Hamas, so it is a good English resource to see exactly how they think when the wishful thinkers are saying otherwise.On that site they have a handy-dandy almanac of important dates in Palestinian history. Since I am always willing to learn new things, I re-ordered the imporant dates to go by year rather than by month, so we can see all the important dates in Palestinian history, according...

Olmert, the battered girlfriend

After an unbelievable 21 consecutive hours of no Qassams, Olmert is falling all over himself to reward the Palestinian Arabs with lots of land, dismantling settlements, money and prisoners.Oh, sure, he is demanding some things in return - all of which are reversible in the wink of an eye. As opposed to things like - land, dismantling settlements, money and prisoners.Clearly he is an idiot.In reaction to a thoroughly illusory and pathetically short...

Death count update: 165

Just to keep my loyal readers up with the latest news of Palestinian Arabs being violently killed without any Israeli help since Operation Summer Rains started, we see that two young terrorist wannabes were found dead in the collapsed tunnel that they were building to Egypt. (Or, as Egypt calls them, "smugglers.")It seems that I missed a Hamas member who was killed in very similar circumstances last month.So my count is now up to 164.UPDATE: 165.At...

When political correctness and fear intersect

Another disturbing story out of Australia: A LEADING children's publisher has dumped a novel because of political sensitivity over Islamic issues.Scholastic Australia pulled the plug on the Army of the Pure after booksellers and librarians said they would not stock the adventure thriller for younger readers because the "baddie" was a Muslim terrorist.A prominent literary agent has slammed the move as "gutless", while the book's author, award-winning...

Syrian terror supporter a member of Australia's parliament

Major problems in Australia. A person who clearly identifies himself as a loyal Syrian and a supporter of the terror regime of Assad has been elected to Parliament.VICTORIA'S Labor Premier Steve Bracks will take his third oath of office in coming days and as he does so, he will introduce new ALP Upper House MP Khalil Eideh, a dual Syrian-Australian citizen who has sworn his absolute loyalty to the tyrannical dictatorship of Syria.Like Lakemba's Sheik...

AP? Biased? Naaaaaah.

More absurd bias from AP: (AP) Palestinian militants in Gaza fired two rockets at Israel on Monday, despite a day-old cease-fire that was intended to end five months of violence in the area, Palestinian witnesses said.Israeli rescue services said there were no reports of injuries from the rockets.Also Monday, Israeli troops shot and killed a Hamas-linked militant in a West Bank raid.The cease-fire raised hopes that Israel and the Palestinians would...

Liberal objectivity in the HuffPo

A number of people have commented on Alan Dershowitz' debunking of Dhimmi Carter's book, as well as about the insanely anti-Israel comments that resulted.I was struck more by two of the less infammatory comments:A challenge to my fellow Huffpo readers: Could anyone with a decent knowledge of this actually go through these points and offer a different perspective on them? I am of two minds on the whole thing but often find that those who accuse others...

Khaled Meshaal - the mainstream media's peacemaker

AP's Ibrahim Barzak has an unusual spin on Khaled Meshaal, the political head of Hamas based in Damascus: Word of the cease-fire came shortly after Hamas‘ Damascus-based supreme leader Khaled Mashaal held several days of talks in Cairo with Egyptian mediators and Palestinian officials said those talks played a role in speeding up the agreement.Sounds like Hamas is starting to play realpolitik, just the way everyone expected them to, right?The Christian...

Just in time for the holidays, the Palestinian Arabs have introduced a new kind of toy:Overnight Friday, IDF Paratroopers and Shin Bet operatives commanded by Samaria Brigade Commander Col. Amir Baram, discovered a large explosives laboratory in Nablus, in the West Bank. Among the materials seized in the raid were sacks ready to be filled with explosives, 40 liters of acid,...

"Mohammed" soon to become most popular name in France

According to this Arabic article in Sawt al-Haq, Mohammed is one of the most popular names in France and is soon to become the most popular name. (autotranslated)It may be occupying the name Mohamed «» ranked first undisputed between the names of newborns for France's Muslims has become a routine, But what is remarkable is that this place name escalates among the most common names on the level of France as a whole; within the session to become the...

3 "holy crap" articles at LGF

3 articles in a row that elicit "holy crap!" as a response, linked to by Little Green Footballs.Russia delivers air defense missile system to Iran - Iran will now have a world-class way to defend its nuclear bomb programPoliceman kills PSG fan in post-match racist violence - a soccer match in Paris turns into a riot when the Israeli team defeats the French team, and a mob of a hundred tried to lynch Jewish fans of the Israeli team and then turn on...

Today's GoozNews: American (and Zionist) Idol

From the ever-amusing IRNA:Iran's Supreme Leader's envoy in Hajj and head of Iranian pilgrims to the house of God Ayatollah Mohammad Mohammadi Reyshahri here on Friday said that following the US and Zionist regime is an idol-worshipping practice.Reyshahri said that Israel is "idol" and the US is the "big idol".Giving his pre-sermon address in this week's Friday prayers congregation, Reyshahri highlighted importance of the "Disavowal of Pagans" ceremony...

Grandma got blown up by her bomb belt

PalArab police make an arrest!

In an astonishing development, the members of the Palestinian Arab Police managed to actually arrest someone who committed a murder!Unlike the many, many PalArabs who died violent deaths over the past several months, who all seem to have been killed by the famous "unknown gunmen," this 13-year old child was killed last Monday by a 15-year old who knifed him to death.I guess it is a little easier to find the trail of a 15-year old, but hey, this is...
