I have seen my nephew the Marine, and he looks good. (Great, actually.)
Not that that’s going to stop anyone: The State Department says the Gaza flotilla is provocative because goods are already getting through. Yes, well, that would matter if they’re doing it for “humanitarian” reasons, which they are clearly not.
Faster, please: Israel is bumping up work on the border fence with Egypt. Yeah, they’re gonna need that.
What? You think the world cares about proof of terrorism? The IDF has photos of the “activists” boarding the Mumbletonia Mimosa with weapons—and standing next to an Arab Israeli member of the Knesset, who denies that he ever saw a firearm. Prediction: When confronted, he will insist the IDF Photoshopped it.
Yeah, it’s not gonna work: When the president of the General Assembly and the UN Secretary-General both say that you can’t have a Palestinian state by fiat, it’s just not gonna happen. The rules are clear; without a Security Council recommendation, it doesn’t happen. Watch for the temper tantrum in September.
The AP memorializes Saint Yassin: Read this hagiography and tell me if you can figure out that Ahmed Yassin was the patron saint of suicide bombing. One of the founders of Hamas, the AP simply can’t get past the fact that he was an old man in a wheelchair. So they don’t mention that he was the brains behind suicide bombings, kidnappings of soldiers, and oh yeah—the anti-Semitic Hamas charter that calls for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jews.
