Snapped Shot

The dastardly Elder of Ziyon has an amazingly succinct write-up exploring the "natural" origins of Palestinian murderousness, and contrasting it with the onerous restrictions to which Israel voluntarily complies.

A sneak peek:

One of the usual responses by Palestinian Arabs to terror attacks - besides celebration and joy - is to tell the West that these attacks are a "natural reaction" to "Zionist crimes."

Hamas used those words yesterday as they praised the attack, and a Firas Press op-ed said the same thing this morning.

No one seems to notice that only the Arabs are allowed to "naturally" murder. Israel doesn't have that luxury - its acts must withstand the tightest scrutiny before even being decided upon. Those evil Zionists cannot naturally believe in revenge or murder because those are, well, evil. But the poor oppressed Palestinian Arabs are naturally allowed to act aggressively.

In reading about the bulldozer attack in Israel, I took the time to learn a little more about the British Mandate of Palestine. Within the mandate is the following regulation:

Hamas has apparently issued a call for photographers to come and "observe" its smuggling operations underneath the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. Despite the fact that such an operation is in flagrant violation of international law, a handful of stringers do appear to have heeded the call, and as such, have provided us with a propagandists' view of the Hamas humanitarian corps.

Joey H. sends this one in, and to be quite honest, I can't really find any words to add to it. Maybe it's writer's block, or maybe it's best that I just let the video speak for itself:

Hamas has stated it will not police militants who continue to attack Israel despite the truce. It will, however, hold Israel accountable for any defensive measures it takes in response to the rocket attacks.

Without directly quoting this cr(AP) article, Hamas essentially claims it would be un-Islamic to confront squads launching the missiles or challenge a "resistance fighter." But when border crossings were limited in retaliation, Hamas whined that Israel was in "clear violation" of the truce.

For the life of me, I don't know where Israel gets its patience. If it were my call, Gaza would have been carpet bombed and razed long ago. Islam will not destroy Israel. Political correctness just might.

Here's yet another shining example of culture from the Palestinian terror-tories, in which an Islamic Jihad militant displays the latest in funeral fashion for audiences worldwide:



Of course, perhaps my Magic Sarcasm Generator is working a bit too hard lately.

In all seriousness, is Agence France-Presse really trying to pass this off as a "news" photograph? Or could it be that they are vying to become the next official source of Hamas propaganda?

The Onion could not have written a story more ironic than this if they tried:

A political forum was held in Gaza today called "The role of media intellectuals in the dialogue and the restoration of national unity." Hamas spokesman - and former newspaper editor - Ghazi Hamad said that "the Palestinian media has become part of the problem rather than a solution" and they are too negative and partisan.

Almost as if to underscore how bad journalists are in the minds of some Gazans, a prominent media personality, Mostafa Alsua, the editor of the Journal of Palestine, was shot in his office in Gaza City today.

That'll teach 'em!
