From the “It’s a Small World” Department

The Inevitable Clarification

A few days ago, I posted this rather unbelievable statement from the Iranian Vice President, Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaei: “Iran wants no war with any country, and today Iran is friend of the United States and even Israel….

Bad news for terror apologists and the MSM photographers, as one of their poster boys, terrorist Shehada Jawhar, was killed a few days ago. You may know him better by his Israellycool name – Big Bicep Guy. I guarantee you where he’s gone, there is no gym.

Their Spelling Was Not the Only Casualty

Today’s palestinian “work accident” is brought to you courtesy of Hamas. Hamas’ Ezz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Tuesday that one of its members was killed and two others wounded in an explosion during a “Hihad mission” in Al-Shijaiya neighborhood. Palestinian medical sources said that 29-year-old Khalil Ibrahim Jendiya arrived in Al- Shifa hospital as [...]

“I enjoyed the opportunity to show many different aspects of my personality. To interview Yasser Arafat and then talk about shoes and paint pottery.
