Blogging the Conflict: June 18th – 19th, 2007

You may have noticed that for the past few days, I have not been able to maintain my liveblogging. As I am sure you understand, I am a one-man operation with a very demanding day job. Unless this becomes my day job (feel free to contribute to help make this a reality!), it is always [...]

Uncivil War: June 16th – June 17th, 2007

Let’s see what I missed while relaxing on the Jewish Sabbath.
More fighting for a start. In the West Bank, Fatah terrorists stormed Hamas-controlled institutions and told Hamas-affiliated staffers not to return. For their part, Hamas threatened to retaliate against Mahmoud Abbas’ forces in the West Bank if they did not end Fatah “terrorism” against Hamas [...]

“And Cut!”

Corrupters of the world, beware! The Iranians are going to wipe you off the map.
Iran’s parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill that could lead to the death penalty for persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies.
With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, lawmakers present at the Wednesday [...]

The Emergency

This story sums up Australia beautifully:
Emergency workers have come to the rescue of a town cut off by floodwaters in true Antipodean style – by delivering a large consignment of beer by boat.
The tiny town of Hinton, in the Hunter Valley wine-growing region, has been surrounded for five days by the floodwaters that have devastated [...]

Uncivil War: June 14th – June 15th, 2007

Thursday June 14th

Since we last met, Fatah launched an operation to arrest senior Hamas members (1,500 in total) in the West Bank. Sources say that the operation will only be halted if Hamas accept a ceasefire. In other words, ceasefire by coercion. Yep, that’s going to last.
 
Of course, this goes to show how weak the Hamas [...]

Power as an Aphrodesiac

Shimon Peres when announcing his candidacy for President two weeks ago:

Shimon Peres after winning the Presidency today:

Maybe it’s just me, but Dalia looks much more willing to kiss Peres now.
It’s amazing what a prestigious title does for one’s sex appeal.

Top Dogs

Introducing our latest weapon: Zionist Death Dogs.TM
When Michael Saliba wants his two dogs to follow his commands, he barks out the following orders: Chapes (search), Artza (lie down) Ken (yes), and Shev (sit). Pretty standard commands for any dog… if you live in Israel. But Saliba is a deputy sheriff in Santa Clara in Northern [...]

Kosher Chinese

 
Is this the latest Zionist Weapon of Death (Zionist Death FungusTM), poor judgment in product branding, blatant anti-Semitism, or just another example of the Chinese having problems with their English?
 
Whatever the answer, it sure as hell doesn’t look very appetizing.

Update: According to Wikipedia:

Auricularia auricula-judae (syn. Auricularia auricula, Hirneola auricula-judae) is commonly known as [...]

Uncivil War

Tuesday June 12th:
 
The Hamas-Fatah deathfest continues in Gaza and elsewhere, with 17 people being killed since Monday morning. Today’s tally so far: 3 dead, 14 wounded.
 
Things are happening at a bloodcurdling pace, and it is very hard sometimes to keep track of all the terrorist vs terrorist goings on. Thus as a special service for Israellycool [...]

The Successor

As I posted yesterday, there may be reason to worry about Sheikh Catmeathead’s successor, Fehmi Naji el-Imam.
While we hope for a more constructive contribution to Australian public life from Sheik Hilali’s successor, Fehmi Naji el-Imam, there is reason to worry about some public comments from the 79-year-old Lebanese-born cleric. Sheik Fehmi called on Hezbollah [...]
