If only they’d all fight each other like this: Iraqi jihadis are now heading to Syria to fight the Assad dictatorship. Of course, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. These are Iraqi Sunnis, the legacy of Saddam Hussein‘s dictatorship. And the irony of foreign fighters heading across the Syrian border from Iraq is–well, it sure seems like Divine justice.
Factory-made terror bombs: The bombs intended for Israelis in Thailand are–gee–just like the bombs found in Georgia and India. The most disturbing description in this news article? The bombs were “factory-made.” How’d they get them in?
Multiple authorities told ABC News the devices were either slipped through airport security or smuggled in a diplomatic pouch.
My money’s on the diplomatic pouch. Mark my words, there are bombs in America just like these. The terrorists are in Azerbaijan, as well. Oh, and they’re right here in the good ol’ US of A, coming at us across the Mexican border. Thanks, guys!
The unity deal charade continues: The AP repeats Palestinian propaganda and tells us that everything is hunky-dory in Hamas-Fatah Unityland. And get a load of this biased bushwa:
Reconciliation was made possible, in part, by a narrowing of the ideological rift between the two sides.
So, what’s the narrowing of the rift?
Mashaal, although not formally renouncing violence, has embraced the idea of “popular protests” against Israeli occupation as a gesture to Abbas. And while Hamas has long opposed Abbas’ talks with Israel on the terms of a Palestinian state, Abbas now seems to have given up hope he can reach a deal with the current rightist Israeli government.
In other words, Hamas is pretending to be more moderate, and it’s all Israel’s fault that the PA isn’t dealing with Israel. That’s the “narrowing of the ideological rift.” Really? Because it looks to me like both groups effectively reject Israel’s existence, and there’s never been a rift–just a fiction that has been dutifully reported by mainstream media outlets like the AP.
