I swear, you could recycle my posts. Just look back in my archives to find the exact same thing.
Okay, so a cease-fire is declared for Sunday. Terrorists launch rockets into Israel an hour after it was supposed to take effect.
Terrorists launch rockets on Monday.
Terrorists launch more rockets on Tuesday.
Ceasefire breached again: A Qassam rocket fired by Palestinian gunmen into Israeli territory Tuesday evening landed in an open area next to Sderot; a short while later a second rocket landed just north of the western Negev town.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, the military arm of Fatah, took responsibility for firing the two Qassam rockets that landed Tuesday next to Sderot. The organization announced that the shootings will continue in response to continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire.
And yet, the world media declares the cease-fire to be “holding.” They call it “fragile,” too. And as I said in my last post, when the IDF goes after the terrorists who are launching the rockets, the headlines will read “Israel violates cease-fire.” Trust me on this one.
And oh, yeah—the terrorists have developed a new, presumably deadlier, rocket.
Way to go, Ehud! Great cease-fire!
As the fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinians goes into its third day, dozens of members of the of the Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade gathered in Nablus for a military parade showing off what they say is the new and improved rockets of the organization in the West Bank.
The activists claimed that the rocket is a new model called Jund Allah 1, and it will be operational soon to be launched at Israeli targets.
The Brigades clarified that in case of an Israeli escalation, the rockets will land in a short time in Israel.
Al-Aqsa is run by Fatah, which is run by Mahmoud Abbas, who pretends that he has no control over his own organization. And the media pass on those lies.
Perhaps Israel should capture and then launch Qassam rockets back at them. They couldn’t be blamed for using excessive force.
Oh that’s right, double standard. Sorry, my bad.
“The Brigades clarified that in case of an Israeli escalation, the rockets will land in a short time in Israel.”
Of course they’ll land in Israel in a short time if Israel doesn’t escalate. israel’s response will be yet another round of the cycle of violence that grips the Middle East. Arabs trying to kill Jews–Jews trying not to be killed. Same thing, isn’t it?
Skraeling, the videos on your blog are effing hilarious.
I like the animated cat with the gun. I may have to steal that from you.
It’s not just your posts that could be recycled.
A few years ago, for a while, E! showed the first few seasons of Saturday Night Live. Watching Weekend Update I was struck at how it looked like current events and this was close to 20 years later. At the time, the Arafish was still alive and the only thing you would have had to do to Bill Murray’s commentary was change the name of the leaders of Israel and it would have sounded like any random news story about the Cycle of Violence from that day.
It absolutely amazes me but it probably shouldn’t. Most people have absolutely no memory. History always seems to start precisely when they want it to and don’t bother them with stuff that happened before that. Like asking people if Clinton lied when he said the same things Bush did about Iraq. Their eyes glaze over they never seem to answer that question or say, “It’s different.”
Thanks Meryl, Love your stuff on SNN.
By all means, lift the cat! I’ve seen it around for a few years now. Don’t know who’s it is, but it is awesome.
The Israel-only cease-fire sucks. Always has, always will. Another double-standard: Palestinians want to move into Israel, but when Israel gives up “land-for-peace” they must move out. Can’t have any Jews in Palestine!
Unfortunately, I think Damascus will soon be vapor. I don’t think it will be Israel’s fault, though. I think Iran will just plain miss.
