The I thought you said no more briefs briefs

So, what, all of them have been middle-class now? The myth that terrorists all do it because they’re poor and oppressed continues to be busted, as an upper-middle class Bangladeshi boy (a Muslim, of course) was arrested for trying to … Continue reading

10/11/12 briefs

Hypocrisy, thy name is Erdogan: So, Turkey gets shelled by Syria, and then Turkey shells Syria–not unlike what Israel does to Gaza. Now, Turkey has forced down a Syrian airliner that it suspected was carrying weapons–not unlike Israel refusing to … Continue reading

Wednesday 5773 briefs

Did you all remember to write the new year in your checkbooks? (Stolen from Lair Simon, who no longer blogs, alas.) Surpise, Syria! The IDF ordered a surprise exercise on the Golan Heights today to test Israel’s readiness for a … Continue reading

The my cover’s not done so I’m still here briefs

Oh, please: Naivete from an intellectual who should certainly know better. Bernard-Henri Levy on how the AP owes Jews an apology for spreading the lie that “Sam Bacile” was an Israeli and had financing from “100 Jews” for his anti-Muhammed … Continue reading

This is why Israel’s enemies’ casualties are so high: Hezbollah is recommending that residents of southern Lebanon trust in God to protect them in the event of a war with Israel. Yeah, that worked so well last time. Perhaps, instead, … Continue reading

So how’s that Arab Spring working out for you?

Say, remember all those people and pundits who said last year that the Muslim Brotherhood didn’t want to rule Egypt? Yeah, not so much. After firing the top non-MB generals and replacing them with one who has MB leanings, Morsi … Continue reading

Friday, briefly

Uh-oh: There may be an October surprise for Iran. I would advise you to stock up on gas now, but storing gasoline is a really bad idea, generally. Maybe we should buy gold? That’s okay, the terrorists will just kidnap … Continue reading

Tuesday snark briefs

The schadenfreude is simply delicious: Egypt moved to close Gaza’s smuggling tunnels, using heavy equipment and threats. Of course there are no outraged shouts from the anti-Israel crowd, because this is Egypt closing down Gaza, not Israel. But this is … Continue reading

Oops: So much for that vaunted Lebanese technology. Didn’t we hear Chipmunk Cheeks bragging about how great the Lebanese weapons were over Israel’s? You know, while he’s in hiding in some undisclosed location for fear of a Hellfire missile with … Continue reading

Friday briefs

Is Assad on his last legs? Atrocity after atrocity occurs, and the world reacts with–strongly-worded statements. We’ve seen this happen, time and again. I’d like to know, however, why Libya was so urgent but Syria is not. Can our president … Continue reading

Why is this woman smiling? Because she’s escaping from those freaky scientologists: Katie Holmes has escaped the conditioning and is divorcing Tom Cruise. The Daily News is all over the story (which totally amuses me), including showing this one, showing … Continue reading

Thursday briefs

It’s a rocket-filled truce: The AP whitewashes and slants the story, as Hamas pretends to offer a truce while still firing rockets at Israeli civilians. And this used to be the lead sentence: After a deadly cross-border raid, a new … Continue reading

The real reason for the fence attack: Money. Ron ben-Yishai says Bedouins are ultimately behind the Sinai border attack, because their income from smuggling has dropped sharply as Israel builds the border fence. Gee, the poor things. They can no … Continue reading

Gaza attacks Israel, again

Israel should totally life the blockade. 50 aid groups demand that Israel lift the Gaza blockade. How many of those organizations are going to demand that Hamas stop shelling Israel? Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired at least 33 rockets and … Continue reading
