Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

3.. 6.. 9

It would seem that our body count has been inflated by one since yesterday's retelling of the story.

A Palestinian man shouts during the funeral of Hamas militants who were killed in an Israeli air strike on Tuesday, in the southern Gaza Strip February 6, 2008. Israeli forces killed nine Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday and the Islamist group's armed wing issued a statement claiming responsibility for its first suicide bombing in Israel since 2004.

I also seem to have neglected to comment on the claim that Israel struck a "police station." (Or, as the Associated Press so lovingly puts it, "the sandy courtyard of a Hamas police station.") As I've noted before, such claims are usually fairly misleading, so be sure to take them with a gigantic shaker of salt.

Weeping, gnashing, and standard-issue crocodile tears follow the break.

These pictures were followed by the traditional parading of bodies through the streets. I'll spare you the details, save these two:

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
