Operation Summer Rains: Day Three

No podcast from me today. Just some more liveblogging of Operation Summer Rains. Since my last liveblogging post last night Israel time, IAF planes have struck locations in Gaza, including the Palestinian Interior Ministry, a Fatah office, and a Hamas training camp, all identified as places of terror activity. AP report that “Casualties began to [...]

Operation Summer Rains: Day Two

Today, I have awoken to the devastating news that the body of 18-year old Eliyahu Asheri was found in the A-Tira neighborhood of Ramallah. Our forces were able to locate his body after interrogating a terrorist we had arrested. It was determined that he had been shot in the head from close range soon after [...]

Operation Summer Rains

Before dawn today, IDF tanks and troops went into Gaza. Their mission is clear: to secure the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit. As National Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer told Israel Radio: “We have no desire to remain in the Gaza Strip..We want to bring our boy home, that’s all.” According to an army source, [...]

Another Kidnapping

Mere days after kidnapping teenage IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, palestinian terrorists are now claiming that they kidnapped missing Israeli teenager Eliyahu Ashri.   The terrorist group – PRC (Palestinian Resistance Committee according to Ynet and JPost; Popular Resistance Committee according to Ha’aretz) - issued a statement this morning: “One of our elements in the West Bank [...]

That Dingo Saved my Baby!

You got to hand it to Australians. Not content with finding the worth of whale puke, we are now turning our attention to dingo piss. Australian researchers say they have discovered a new repellent that can help with everything from rehabilitating old mine sites to reducing the amount of roadkill. It’s dingo urine.   Researchers at Curtin [...]

Goodbye Cruel World

Italy 1 Australia 0 Oh the pain, the pain! Not only did the Aussies match it with the Italians, but it looked like we might actually win the game after Italian defended Marco Materazzi was red carded not long after the half-time break. But a poor refereeing decision a few seconds from the end has [...]

Like a Virgin

USA Today have a very interesting article on Muslim women in France who are trying to be revirginized. Chastity can exact a painful price from young Muslim women, forced into lies or surgery to go to the marriage bed as virgins.   Hymen repair, fake virginity certificates and other deceptions, said to be commonplace in [...]

Seeing More Red

Pursuant to yesterday’s Separated at Birth post, reader Micol points out another red-bearded Islamist associated with terror.   It’s this man – Jean-Francois Bastin, a Belgian convert to Islam who has a Muslim political party, and whose son was implicated in the Turkish synagogue terror attacks of a few years ago. Which is no wonder, considering [...]

Keep Him in Your Prayers

The young man on the left is 19-year old Gilad Shalit. He is an IDF soldier. Today, Hamas terrorists abducted him after firing an anti-tank missile at the tank in which he was located. At an IDF post in Gaza. You know, the place from which the IDF unilaterally withdrew so the palestinians could “nation [...]

Separated at Birth

Somalian Islamic terrorist leader leader Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, and palestinian Islamic terrorist leader Abu Tir.     Yes, of course they look almost nothing alike, but how many red-bearded Islamic terrorists can there possibly be?
