Islam Online’s Online Holocaust Museum

Islam Online’s Online Holocaust Museum

Islam Online has established an online Holocaust Museum – a palestinian one, that is.
Replete with black and white photos of palestinian children “martyrs” , it is an enormous insult to the real Holocaust victims.

The front page currently shows particularly gruesome photos of the palestinian children killed a few days ago, likely by explosives carried by [...]

The Billy Letters

In the late ’90s, then 30-something pop-culture historian Bill Geerhart, posing as a curious 10-year-old named Billy, launched a letter-writing campaign to some of the most powerful and infamous figures in the USA, such as Charles Manson, the Unabomber, Dick Cheney and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

AP Still Getting its Facts Wrong

It has been a few hours since Israel determined that the Gaza blast that killed most of a family was the result of a secondary explosion from targeted terrorists outside the house carrying munitions.
AP’s Ibrahim Barzak is now reporting Israel’s side of the story, but very skeptically:
In a statement, the military said explosives carried by [...]

Robot Soldier

Robot Soldier

Cool doesn’t even begin to describe this.
Israel’s newest soldier can see at night, never nods off on sentry duty and can carry 300 kilograms (660 pounds) without complaining.
The Guardium, an unmanned ground vehicle commissioned by the Israel Defense Forces is essentially a robotic soldier, among the first in the world to be operational. It can [...]

Still Blaming Israel

Despite the fact that the IDF investigated today’s deaths in Gaza and found that the explosion was caused after palestinian terrorists carrying large bags (presumably filled with ammunition) were shot, and despite the fact that AP were aware of this and actually changed their headline and report to reflect this (as I blogged here), they [...]

C’mon Barbie, Let’s Go Farsi

After having attacked the lovable duo of Tom and Jerry, those Iraniacs have now set their sights on Barbie, Batman, and friends.
