Down Under Punditry in the Middle East

Only in Israel

The advertisement on the billboard is for a restaurant called The Big Dudu* (pronounced ‘doodoo’). No sh*t.

I also like how even the symbol next to the name looks suspect.

* Dudu is a nickname for David.

This picture sums up Lauren Booth and the rest of the so-called “human rights activists.”

Just a picture of a man with a rocket launcher. Nothing to see here, move along.

A Tzip On Her Shoulder

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni may have been all smiles at the elementary school ceremony, but under the surface, she was not amused.

Out of all the people in the crowd, and I get stuck sitting next to the Ehud Olmert lookalike!

Bird Love

Former Palestinian prisoner Mohammed Ibrahim Abu Ali (L) speaks with a smiling Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas as white pigeons are released at the Palestinian Authority headquarters in the West Bank. The United States and Israel have said Israeli-Palestinian peace talks were making progress despite what the Jewish state referred to as its small and limited settlement activities.

Looks like the pigeons themselves released something as well. Check out the man at the bottom right. Could it be that the guy at center-left is laughing at him?

The Latest Insanity From Israel

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Yeah, stare at those hands as long as you like. It won’t make the blood disappear.

Palestinian Mohammed Ibrahim Abu Ali (R), known as “Abu Ali Yatta,” who was jailed in 1979 for killing an Israeli settler who was studying at a religious school in the flashpoint West Bank town of Hebron, Said al-Attaba (L), 56, the longest serving Palestinian prisoner who had been serving a life sentence since 1977 for killing an Israeli woman, pay their respects at the tomb of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in the Muqata, the Palestinian Authority headquarters in the West Bank of Ramallah on August 25, 2008. Israel freed 198 Palestinian prisoners today in a gesture to president Mahmud Abbas as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was due in the region to spur US-backed peace talks (AFP).

These murderers are but two of the “prisoners” we freed today, as a “goodwill” gesture to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. And he reciprocated with a goodwill gesture of his own - a threat that unless all the “prisoners” are freed, there will be no peace.

Speaking of gestures, this one made by the released prisoners does not mean “peace.” It means “V for victory”, and is basically a promise that the terrorism will continue.

Real winner move there, Israel.

By the way, there are a number of photos like this and this showing the Free Gaza folk protesting for the release of more palestinian “prisoners.” No doubt including those who have maimed and murdered Israelis - and will do so again.

Copping a Feel

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Palestinian Nader Al-Ju’beh, 48, second right, surrounded by relatives, is seen at his house after being freed from an Israeli jail where he spent 22 years, upon his arrival to the West Bank city of Ramallah, Monday, Aug. 18, 2008. Israel on Monday said two of its longest serving and most prominent Palestinian prisoners, a militant mastermind from the 1970s and a gunman elected to parliament while behind bars, will be among 199 Palestinian inmates to be freed as a goodwill gesture to embattled Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen)

I guess after 22 years without female companionship, even his grandmother was starting to look attractive.

And while he seems to be enjoying it, she certainly doesn’t.
