Other Way Around

Reading through another ISM newsletter, I came across this statement made in relation to the owners of a house about to be demolished: Khader Jabari and his brother threatened to commit suicide if the house was destroyed..Doesn’t the suicide (and accompanying murders) usually precede the demolition?

Resistance

An ISM newsletter from a few day’s ago had this to say regarding a deportation order handed down against two of their own activists terrorists: The ISM Media Office has been informed that Andreas Koninek and Andrew Muncie have expressed the desire to resist the deportation orders that have been already handed down.

ISM: Scaling the Depths of Depravity

Obviously operating in some kind of bizarro world where evil=good, the International Solidarity Movement has this to say about the road map: The “Road Map to Peace,” lauded by George W.

Son of a Beach

Merde in France has this picture of a tanned Jaques Chiraq. You have to hand it to him. While his countrymen are dying from the heat, he thinks “beach”.

Moving

After yelling and screaming for a while now, Blogger have finally returned my mail and upgraded me to an ads-free version. So no more obnoxious pro-Palestinian ads appearing above my blog. I am not sure, though, whether I want to stay with Blogger..too many problems. I may have to consider a move to some other [...]
