More Infuriating Reporting
When Al-Crapeeza use the words “terror” and “innocents” in the same sentence, you can bet they are not talking about the wholesale murder of innocent Israelis by palestinian terrorists.
After reporting the Jerusalem suicide bombing under the relatively neutral headline Seven killed in Jerusalem blast, they report Israel’s subsequent attempted targeted killing of a Hamas terrorist [...]
Defending Mel Gibson
The usually common-sense Joseph Farah has seemingly lost the plot, judging by this defense of Mel Gibson.
Farah argues that Gibson’s statement regarding columnist Frank Rich (”I want to kill him. I want his intestines on a stick. I want to kill his dog.”) was perfectly understandable, since Rich insulted his father, an insult that Farah [...]
From the Strange-But-True Department
This from the BBC:
The 12 finalists of an Arab television talent contest are to try to help resolve a row between a husband and wife in Dubai that almost led to divorce.
Jordan’s Diana Karzon won the show The Superstar programme – the Arabic equivalent of Britain’s Pop Idol – broadcast by Future TV in [...]
The Faulty Premise of Oslo
Daniel Pipes explains why Oslo has not worked.
Many things, but most important was that the deal rested on a faulty Israeli premise that Palestinians had given up their hope of destroying the Jewish state. This led to the expectation that if Israel offered sufficient financial and political incentives, the Palestinians would formally recognize the [...]
Eye on “Human Rights” Organizations
No surprises here:
Amnesty International (”Working to Protect Human Rights Worldwide”) do not even mention the suicide bombings on their web site, let alone condemn the attacks. Yet they mention this item under the Latest News section: Israel/Occupied Territories: Israel must end its policy of closures and restriction of movement
Human Right Watch (”Defending Human Rights Worldwide”) [...]

Perhaps these guys can teach the army a thing or two about not missing the target when it counts.
But seriously, the army could take out the targets if they used heavier bombs. The thing is, they do not want to kill civilians located nearby.
Fancy that – aiming not to kill [...]

And Now For Some Good News
From the ISM mailing list:
As you may be aware, ISM Palestine is facing a severe financial crisis. Legal fees resulting from arrests and the costs of maintaining a presence in several areas have nearly depleted our funds.
We are appealing for emergency funds and also to initiate discussions on how we can coordinate fundraising efforts between [...]
Personalizing Terror
Driving into work today with Yael, a woman with whom I car pool, I turned up the volume of the radio to hear the 7 o’clock news. Another terrorist attack, this time at the entrance of the Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem, killed seven people, five hours after seven were killed near an army base outside [...]
