Bad Week for Al-Crapeeza

And I couldn’t be happier about it. Al-Crapeeza’s true colors are coming to the fore. Firstly, Iraq’s Governing Council banned the satellite tv station from covering official activities for two weeks. US officials have accused the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera and the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya of giving too much prominence to anti-US attacks, and of providing a forum [...]

Aaron Knows Best

In an account posted on the ISM mailing list, Jewish ISM activist “Aaron” asserts the following: 1. The phenomenom of palestinian children throwing rocks at tanks is never staged for the benefit of the press The children, unfortunately, are impossible to contain, and chase after tanks and armored personnel carriers (APCs) throwing rocks.

Quote of the Day

“Are you happy? Come back for a holiday” Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Minister of Defense General Sheikh Muhammad bin Rashid al-Maktoum to a group of Israeli reporters.

Litigious Happenings

The family of missing Israeli airman Ron Arad have filed a petition against Lebanese terrorist Mustafa Dirani, demanding NIS 100 million in compensation from him. This is the first step of the family’s campaign to prevent Dirani from being included in any prisoner exchange deal with Hezbollah. The ridiculous war crimes complaint against Ariel Sharon [...]

Food for Thought About Settlements

The settlers seem to be the most uniformly despised group in this conflict; more so than the terrorists. Settlements are proclaimed to be an obstacle to peace by the Left, the US Government, the UN and Israel’s critics.

Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily debunks the conventional wisdom that ex palestinian PM Abbas was genuinely interested in peace and compromise with Israel, but was foiled by AFatRat. He quotes an English translation of comments Abbas made in Arabic, including the following: “Many say I want to place the security services at my disposal and command [...]

Cute Joke for the Morning

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, “You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.” The husband said, “You are in charge of the cooking around here and [...]

Israellycool Makes the News

Well kind of. We are directly responsible for a news item at least. You will recall that I posted about a death notice in the West Australian newspaper that expressed sympathy for the death of a Hamas terrorist. Well, this generated much interest and I had been in contact with a number of parties interested [...]

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

Here is an eye-popping headline I came across while browsing the web site of the Palestinian Information Center 93% of Palestinian children fear violence Sucks to be them, given that they live in one of the most violent societies in the world. But this article predictably lays the blame at israel’s feet. The secretariat, addressing [...]

Anything But a Gay Old Time

As I have previously reported, the palestinian treatment of gay people is horrendous. Now Reuters have an interesting article on this point.
