Worldwide Anti-Israeli Day of RAGE!

The Muslim world is exploding in a series of protests against the "heartless" Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, even though (a) the blockade is entirely justified (and largely self-inflicted), and (b) Israel has already chickened out and partially re-opened the borders. Here's a round-up of the raging peacefulness of the international ummah, just for the record. Feel their rage! After all, it is all they have to offer the world.

I'll be rounding up these pictures as the day progresses. There'll undoubtedly be an excess of rage that'll need to be burned through before news of Israel's capitulation puts the kibbosh on these little outbursts of peace and tolerance.

Update: Here's some sheer brilliance on the notion of "humanitarianism," courtesy the ever-eloquent Soccer Dad.

*Hey! Infidel!

Islamic "freedom fighters" only kill, mutilate, main, torture, execute, hang, stone, rape, molest, beat, dismember, decapitate, behead, mangle, kidnap, enslave, oppress, disfigure, massacre, murder, destroy, and slaughter.

But the eeeeevil Joos cut off supplies for a day. How cruel is that?!?

*They're protesting in the Sudan!
And it appears that Israel's "confidence building measure," rebuilt the confidence of the terrorists!

*"Worldwide Anti-Israeli Day of RAGE!"

As opposed to...? Is there some 'non-rage' day I'm unfamiliar with?
