Hell hath frozen over: The EU released a statement demanding the immediate release of Gilad Shalit. No, really. Wait, there has to be a catch. Oh, here it is. They’re also calling on Israel to make “substantial release of Palestinian prisoners.” Phew, snowballs are still melting in hell.
Rockets in, missiles out: More kassams in Israel, so the IDF bombed a tunnel and a weapons lab. Watch for the screams from the Israel-haters. Oh, and the AP managed to put this in the last paragraph of its latest article about the 1600 new units in east Jerusalem:
In Gaza, ruled by the Islamic militants of Hamas, Israeli aircraft struck twice early Friday, retaliating for rocket fire into Israel on Thursday. No one was hurt in any of the incidents.
I will reiterate that the last graf of an article is the first to go when a newspaper needs the space.
A store opens in Israel, a protest opens in Europe: Filthy capitalists! Opening a store that was so much desired that Israelis nearly trampled two babies (!) to get in. Of course there will be protests throughout Europe and Canada. Listen to this brilliant protestor’s explanation:
“The Goldstone Report was published recently, and we think that one cannot open a store in Israel until it starts obeying international law.”
That’s what I like about Israel’s foes. They’re so smart, you have to wonder how they manage to dress themselves in the morning. Really, Israel-haters lead pretty pathetic lives. Imagine obsessing about something that really has nothing to do with living your life, to the point of gettting enraged by a store opening thousands of miles away in another country. Or a pro-Israel blog. To paraphrase, the vast majority of Israel haters have lives of pathetic desperation.
briefs or trunks?
They are protesting against a Swedish fashion store opening in Tel Aviv and another soon in Jerusalem? Did these…people…ever get around to protesting against Pali murders of Israelis, including Israeli children? I don’t really need to ask, now do I.
I see there was an “Israeli” organizing this hate-fest. He should convert to Islam. It will make him feel even better about supporting genocidal maniacs against the Jews they intend to kill.
The indifference to, indeed the hostility to logic, reason, and reality that characterizes so much of Arab politics and culture seems to be spreading throughout the world. This is not a Good Thing.
