It isn't only Hezbollah celebrating the imminent return of the most sickening terrorist in recent memory, Samir Kuntar.

The entire government of Lebanon is joining in.

According to the Palestine Press news,
The Lebanese Prime Minister instructed the closure of all public administrations and public institutions and private institutions, municipalities, public and private educational Lebanon on Wednesday, 16/7/2008, in observance of the liberation of prisoners from the prisons of the Israeli enemy and the restoration of bodies of the martyrs to the soil of the homeland.

It is expected that permeated the celebrations all regions of Lebanon on this occasion.
Similarly, the Lebanon Daily Star said:
Lebanon is planning a welcome ceremony in Naqoura, and President Michel Sleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Fouad Siniora will later greet the prisoners at Beirut's airport.
It can perhaps be expected that traditional murderer-worshippers like Hezbollah or Hamas would celebrate the release of such a murderer. But this is the entire government of Lebanon, which despite Hezbollah's influence is still considered to be pro-Western by the West, celebrating; every major political leader falling over themselves for a photo-op with this damned pitiful excuse for a human being.

It isn't just the terror organizations that embrace Samir Kuntar. It is the entire Arab world. Because anyone who kills Jews in Israel is, by definition, a hero to the Arabs across all political leanings.

If anyone can find a single Arab editorial that considers Samir Kuntar to be anything less than a hero, in any language, please let me know. Because I have not yet found it.

UPDATE: Not all of Lebanon is celebrating.

Firas Press quotes an "Israeli intelligence site" as saying that Syria is planning to move the headquarters of Hamas and Islamic Jihad to Beirut, where they will be hosted by Hezbollah:
The sources added that the men of Hezbollah are working with a construction company of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that began renovating two buildings in the heart of Beirut's southern suburb and is building the new security headquarters of these movements as well as housing for the leaders of the movement of Palestinians and their families.
If this is true, it may mean that Tehran is really unhappy with the indirect talks between Israel and Syria, signaling a desire to ensure greater control over PalArab terror groups via Hezbollah.

To have Iran's Revolutionary Guard supervise the construction of the buildings means that they want to ensure that Israeli intelligence doesn't drop any devices in the buildings while they are being built.

Ma'an reports:
A Palestinian military court in the West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday sentenced two Palestinians to death by firing squad, after they were found guilty of collaborating with Israel.

Twenty-seven-year-old Wa’el Sa’id Sa’ed Sa’ed, from the village of Yatta in the Hebron governorate was present in court when the sentence was handed down. His co-defendent Mohammad Sa’ed Mahmoud Sa’ed from Hebron was sentenced in absentia.

Both men were found guilty of passing information about Palestinian resistance fighters in the West Bank to the Israeli authorities, as a result of which the Israeli army carried out a number of targeted assassinations and detentions.

The issued sentences are inalienable and are ratified by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
It's been about three years since a death penalty has been carried out in the PA, and most of them have been for "collaboration with the enemy" (the list is here.)

In other words, the internationally recognized government of the PA, who is supposedly Israel's peace partner, actively supports and defends known terrorists ("resistance fighters") , and rather than punishing the actual terrorists, it punishes those who try to stop them.

To put it bluntly, the PA is the enemy and there is no distinction between the Palestinian Authority and the terrorists whom it actively supports and defends.

The Palestine Press Agency quotes an Israeli news source (that I could not find) saying that, at a farewell party being thrown for uber-terrorist Samir Kuntar by his fellow terrorists, they all shouted "Next year in Jerusalem!," mockingly using the same expression Jews have used for centuries.

Is there any clearer indication that releasing prisoners encourages terrorism?

It's been a long time since I last did a roundup of Iranian news (definition of GoozNews is here,) but today we were treated to a surplus of wonderfully stupid articles from the Iranian media.

First we have the story, published in YNet, that Iran's IRNA "news" agency is reporting that thousands of Israelis are fleeing Israel in fear of the Iranian missile exercises last week. This story went wholly unnoticed in Israel, so it must be Jewish jinn or other similar invisible people.

Meanwhile, Nefesh b'Nefesh reports that four planeloads of people have arrived in Israel in the past month from the UK and US to live.

Next up is that the FARS "news" agency reported that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused four nations of conspiring to kidnap him the last time he was in Iraq.

The nations? America, Afghanistan, Iraq - and Palestine! It seems that Iran's love of Palestinian Arabs only extends to Hamas.

Finally, we have FARS again "refuting" the doctored images from the Iranian missile launch, saying that Iran never published the doctored images. The "expert" who made this analysis is funny enough, spinning a wild conspiracy theory about how the West first tried to ignore the test and then made up the story about the Photoshopped image.

Yesterday I mentioned how a Jordanian man was sentenced to only six months in jail for "honor killing" his teenage daughter.

Today, a Jordanian court upheld the death penalty for a woman who murdered her husband for his own infidelities. She is slated to be hung.

Apparently, in Jordan, women have no honor.

Palestine Today reports that a Gazan "human rights" organization will today hold a mock trial charging Gilad Shalit with crimes.

The purpose is to compare him to the Palestinian Arab prisoners in Israeli jails.

The event will include a parade with a man pretending to be Shalit being transported to the "trial" where he is expected to be convicted and sentenced. The parade will start at the Red Crescent headquarters in Gaza City.

Israel's "peace partners" of Fatah have added yet another terrorist group to its repertoire.

The group came out with a press release this morning claiming that they shot a "barrage of bullets" at Israelis at the Jamala checkpoint near Jenin before withdrawing safely.

And who did this group name itself after?

Dalal Mughrabi, the female terrorist hero of all Palestinian Arabs who was involved in the murder of 36 Israeli civilians in 1978, and whose body is slated to be returned to Palestinian Arabs as part of the "swap" deal with Hezbollah. We can see the peaceful reverberations of this deal already, even though such incidents are so common that they aren't even mentioned in the Israeli press unless someone gets injured.

Is there any doubt that the members of this group also draw salaries as member of the PA "police"?

Her parents, who are younger than the groom, must be so proud!

Firas Press reports that a Jordanian man was sentenced to only six months of jail after electrocuting his 16-year old daughter in 2006. She had admitted having an affair.

The sentence was light because it was assumed that the father simply lost control with his anger, plus the fact that his daughter really did have the affair.

This recent article from the UAE says that fully one quarter of all Jordanian murders are "honor killings:"
Last week, a 16-year-old boy stabbed his 23-year-old sister to death after she disappeared for a month with her boyfriend, the seventh such killing this year.Honour killings are not a new phenomenon in Jordan, a conservative kingdom whose laws are lenient to men convicted of such crimes, handing down sentences of as little as six months if they are found to have committed an act “in a fit of fury”.

Parliament has twice refused to reform the penal code despite pressure from human rights groups.

Last year, 17 women were killed in the name of honour in Jordan. The issue of honour is so central that some men have been known to drag their new brides to a forensic centre on their wedding night, believing they cannot be a virgin if they do not bleed the first time they have sex.

A study by the United Nations’ Development Fund for Women found that 25 per cent of the victims of honour crimes had lost their lives merely because they were suspected of involvement in an illicit relationship, while only 15 per cent were killed after adultery was proved.

The Jordanian National Forum for Women – a non-governmental organisation set up in 1995 – asked parliament two months ago to tighten penalties for men found guilty of honour killings and to abolish article 340 of the penal code law, which reduces the penalty for a man who kills a female member of his family found to have committed adultery. The parliament has so far refused to change the laws.

Mahmoud Kharabsheh, a member of parliament, said the media was misreporting the cases and that there were no honour killings or crimes against women.

“The crimes that are taking place are related to adultery … which has a negative impact on society. This campaign against women is exaggerated,” he said.

Jordanian justice!

UNRWA Director of Operations John Ging was interviewed by Palestinian Arab Ramattan TV where he revealed yet again the absurd amount of bias that the UN has against Israel.

Autotranslated:
The director general of UNRWA operations in Gaza, John Ging, stated that despite the commitment of the Palestinian side to calm and to stop firing rockets at Israeli targets, Israel still did not open the crossings needed by the population , and the situation is getting worse.

Jing said in a televised interview with private news agency Ramatan Today / Saturday / "The situation in Gaza is still frustrating to people. We have a calming-This is good, and there is a cease firing rockets - This is also good, but Israel has not yet opened the crossings to the extent that we need, so residents still Gaza Strip are suffering here. "

The director of UNRWA operations hoped to open Gaza crossings quickly to introduce all the necessary things, not only food and medicine, but also other things needed by the people to be able to live in Gaza.

He said, "Last October when they were firing rockets there was more fuel being transferred than is entering today", and expressed the hope that the Palestinians in Gaza have the ability not to launch rockets at targets in Israel.

He called on residents of the Gaza Strip to raise their voices high to lift their blockade, and take their human rights, stressing that the Palestinian people basically did not take their humanitarian, stressing that UNRWA would continue its support for the Palestinians despite the difficulties they face and will stand alongside them in every adversity.

He said: "I am quite sure that there are beautiful days to come for the Palestinians, and the State of Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital coming, God willing," saying that despite what he described as "a mountain of difficulties" faced by the Palestinian people, however, it must continue to climb this mountain.
First of all, he is a liar. Israel's shipments to Gaza since the "cease-fire" has increased 44%, and fuel increased by 30%.

Secondly, he is also a liar when he claims that Gazans are holding by the cease-fire, as there have been numerous instances of rockets and mortars including six events in the past six days.

Thirdly, as far as I am aware the official UN position on Jerusalem is still what it wanted in 1948, namely to make it an international city. It appears that Ging is going against UN policy in his zeal to support everything the Palestinian Arabs support. It is quite hypocritical to say that Jerusalem cannot be Israel's capital because of UN resolutions and then to say that Jerusalem will be Palestine's capital.

Par for the course.
An apparent honor killing in Hebron.

A man tortured to death in a Hamas prison. Fatah claims that Hamas injected gasoline into his blood.

Hamas continues to abduct Fatah members in Gaza.

Egypt shot and killed an African trying to get to Israel and his Bedouin guide in the Egyptian side of Rafah.

Three church bells were stolen from the Greek Orthodox Church in Tulkarem in the West Bank.

Egyptian police arrested a man trying to smuggle a kangaroo and other animals into Gaza.

The 2008 PalArab self-death count is now at 110.

UPDATE:
An Arab taxi driver was murdered by another PalArab in Salfit. 111.

UPDATE 2:
A Jericho man was found stabbed to death. 112.

Of course part of the entire 1979 Camp David agreements between Israel and Egypt was to begin establishing normal relations, but Egypt still collects billions a year from the US as its "peace dividend" while acting like any normal relationship with Israel is a horrendous crime.

YNet mentions:
Despite struggles, boycotts and threats, the acclaimed Israeli feature film “The Band's Visit” will finally be making it to Egypt this week.

The film was rejected by the Cairo International Film Festival, and later on the Egyptian Actors’ Guild threatened to boycott the Abu Dhabi Film Festival for accepting the film. This eventually resulted in the latter dropping the film in the last minute. Despite all that, a special screening of the film will be held in Cairo this coming Thursday.

After tallying the supporters versus the objectors, the Egyptian premiere of "The Band’s Visit" will be held Thursday at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel’s auditorium, owned by no other than the billionaire Saudi Prince, Al-Walid bin Talal.

The film, depicting the Alexandria police band's visit to Israel’s remote southern town, was screened a few times in private homes in Egypt and won praise. Egyptian Culture Minister Faruq Hosni has even told Yedioth Ahronoth, “I saw the film and it’s excellent.”

However, despite his compliments, Hosni firmly objected to having "The Band’s Visit" or any other Israeli movie screened in Egypt, claiming that “it’s unadvisable to have the anti-peace opposers burn down our movie theaters because of an Israeli event.”

The Israeli Embassy sent out more than 200 invitations to businessmen, scholars and Egyptian intellectuals, but it remains to be seen who of the local invitees will muster up the courage to attend the screening and risk entering his name into the media’s “black lists.”
Sure enough, the Arabs are freaking, and an article in Palestine Today not only complains about the film being shown but also about some T-shirts that were found in a far northwest province that said the horrible words "Tel Aviv" in English, prompting 5 groups to condemn them.

Yes, all of Egypt may collapse if some people mention the name of an Israeli city without being threatened.

In a dynamic marketplace characterized by rapid change and unexpected missiles, even the most disciplined adaptive organizations can find it challenging to keep the lines of communication open. Without understanding the strategic "big picture," associates will sometimes be confused by misleading rumors they read on unreliable infidel blogs and websites like "F*cked Insurgency" and "Jihad Deadpool." With Vistas, you will learn the real story -- of how we are attacking the competitive casualty gap with a paradigm-changing tactical adaptive strategy focused on paradise value optimization. Yes, there will be some changes, but our core leadership mission remains the same one established by Chairman Emeritus Osama Bin Laden when he founded Al Qaeda in his family goat shed nearly 15 years ago: to create a robust, cave-centric, best-of-breed strategic organization for global caliphate management solution services. If we all pull together as accountable subteams, we are on-track to rebuild momentum after the Q4 Infidel elections!

INTRODUCING QAEDANT

As a commitment to our spirit of goal-oriented adaptive martyrdom innovation, I am proud to announce the launch of Qaedant, our new corporate branding identity.
