Term of the Day

Here’s a fun site that has been brought to my attention: Urban dictionary.com (Hat tip: Josh G.) The site is a dictionary of slang, in which you can help decide the meaning of terms and phrases. After scanning the site, I have been inspired to add a new feature to this blog – Term of [...]

Misunderstanding

Do you remember the Jame Bennet kidnapping attempt from a few days ago? Well, the PLO Arabs are claiming it was all just one big misunderstanding. Palestinian Authority officials and journalists denied over the weekend that Palestinians in Rafah had tried to kidnap New York Times correspondent James Bennet. Bennet said he was talking on [...]

Premature Explodation

Arutz Sheva reports on a suicide bombing that didn’t go exactly according to plan. A soldier and three Arabs were injured at about 13:45 this afternoon when a PFLP suicide bomber blew himself up at the BekaĆ­ot Checkpoint north of the community of Hamra. The commander of the checkpoint suspected the 19-year-old Arab male who [...]

Insensitivity

For instance: The deterrent fire aimed near demonstrators marching toward Tel el-Sultan in Rafah refugee camp on Wednesday, a result of which eight Palestinians were [...]

Quote of the Day

“It is likely that Israel will consider bringing Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to trial, too.” – Israeli Justice Minister and Archie Bunker lookalike Yosef Lapid in response to the conviction of West Bank Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti on five counts of murder and planning five terrorist attacks. Sounds like a splendid idea.

Tunnel Vision

The BBC have let an accurate Israel-related story slip through the cracks. Well, it isn’t exactly a story, but rather a photo diary that shows Israeli troops finding a weapons smuggling tunnel in the home of a PLO Arab. The pictures not only prove why it is necessary for Israel to conduct house-to-house searches and [...]
