snapped shot

I dunno about you, but I plan on using The Dissident Frogman's fantastic new wallpapers on my desktop:

The caption on this photo, [Ed.:—Daylife link is now live. AP Images link here, in case you want to license it.] taken by friend of Snapped Shot Muhammed Muheisen, reads:

Palestinians burn an Israeli flag during a demonstration to commemorate the Nakba, or the catastrophe, the Arabic term used to describe the uprooting of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with the 1948 creation of the state of Israel, near Kalandia checkpoint, between Jerusalem and the West Bank city of Ramallah, Wednesday May 14, 2008. A few dozen Palestinians threw stones at Israeli police at the checkpoint. Police said they responded with riot control tactics, and the force was seen firing tear gas at the crowd.

Notice, however, that the text on the t-shirt of one of our "compassionate" youth's reads:

ALVIN'S GROSS
CHAZON MISSION
TO ISRAEL

JEWISH FEDERATION OF
GREATER FT. LAUDERDALE

Those dastardly Zionists and their infernal clothing donations have struck again!

Palestinians are teaching their children on this Nakba (which is still my joy, incidentally) that the Israeli city of Tel Aviv belongs to them, that they used to live in "Tel al-Rabi" long before the dastardly Zionists showed up.

To absolutely nobody's surprise, we discover that this "tragic" history is a propagandistic invention, and has no basis whatsoever in that little thing we like to call "reality." Carl in Jerusalem has the full story, but here's the kicker:

Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 as a Jewish city. The city next to it - Yafo - which has now been incorporated into Tel Aviv, was a mostly Arab city at the time, but has a rich Jewish history (see, for example, the Book of Jonah). In any event, Tel Aviv was not and has never been an Arab or 'Palestinian' city. But the 'Palestinian' jihadis are teaching their children that they will return to it anyway and murder any Jew who stands in their way. There never was a city called Tel Al-Rabi.

Once again, we have conclusive proof that the "Nakba" celebrations are nothing more than anti-Israeli propaganda.

So when you read about this "tragic" commemoration in news reports again, will you believe it?

That's pretty much the Democratic Party platform this year, isn't it? You may not be aware of it, but our Government is already providing 100% free healthcare, even including long-term hospital care, for all.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say "all?"

Yeah, right. Keep on dreaming. Free health care applies only to illegal aliens, don'tcha know?

Digger's got the scoop:

With millions in this country not able to afford health insurance, illegal aliens are still receiving "free" health care at taxpayer's expense. In the cases noted below millions were spent on just two illegal aliens who required ongoing care. Ongoing care is not covered by any laws. Emergency care is, but these illegals have remained in this hospital for years. ICE doesn't care because they don't have a criminal record and one patient - who was eventually deported to Mexico - has now sued the hospital costing them a quarter of a million dollars in legal expenses to defend themselves after spending millions on keeping him in their hospital "for free" for years.

Exit Question: Is this a public benefit that John McCain is going to enthusiastically support for his newfound core constituency?

Mahmoud learns a new trick, courtesy a rather creative angle by the ISNA photographer:

Click here, here, if you have a heart.

Please note, the aid given here are by the People's Liberation Army of China. Why do I point this out? Cause the Burmese Junta refuse to help their own citizens! And, despite how bad China is, compared to Burma they are saints. And, John (I hate lobbyists) McCain hired two lobbyists who once toted the water of the Junta while calling President Bush a liar.

Tell me this doesn't break your heart knowing the Burmese people were just left for dead. That the children in China were smothered in debris, smashed between huge concrete beams, and forced to lie twisted in dark, dust-filled tombs hoping someone would rescue them. And the Chinese government did come and rescue them. But, the Burmese government just wanted them to die. And to this day, bodies float in stagnant water while soldiers stand on streets guarding sidewalks or preventing aid convoys from entering the hard-hit areas.

And yet, there is no real condemnation in the media for the Burmese government. Oh, sure, they cite that the Junta are blocking access or are preventing access to US and International aid. But, they defend it by calling the Burmese "paranoid".

This makes me sick and makes me just sick of John (I love liberalism) McCain. (Yes, I am glad to hear that Myanmar recently started to allow a greater flow of relief workers and aid supplies. But, how long did it take? Even people already there had to be secretive with their help. Even news crews had to fear for their lives for reporting the devastation)

I despise hypocrisy. It is a lie to me. It is full-frontal betrayal. It sickens my stomach more so than people swooning over Obama like a rock\movie star.

Today comes news that the House and the Senate both voted on bills that told the President to stop buying oil to fill up the National Strategic Oil Reserves.

Their case? That oil needs to be in the market in order to reduce the price load upon consumers. The more oil on the market there is will cause the price of gas to go down for consumers.

"Instead of hiding barrels of oil in the nearly full Strategic Petroleum Reserve, we want to put them on the market to increase supply and lower prices," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

All of a sudden the most liberal whiners in Legislature are big believers in capitalism? They want to increase the flow of oil in America??!? Well HALLELUJAH!!!

Uhhh.. wait one minute there. Read on for the joy of hypocrisy in action... Continue reading »
