Daily Dose of Irony

The caption on this photo, [Ed.:—DayLife link pending. 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:

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

Palestinian Claim to Tel al-Imadethiscrapup

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?

Palestinian Hulk Sighting

I've run across a very interesting celebrity sighting on the Palestinian newswires today:

An unidentified Palestinian, which local sources claim is the Incredible Hulk, threatens complete societal destruction upon the West if they don't immediately comply with Palestinian demands for more geek memorabilia. (Freuders/Albert Q. Photoshop)

Cue: car crash sound effect. At least I get an "F" for e"F"fort, right?

It's Always Israeli's Fault

Face it - The only way Israel can win is if all Jews would just drop dead.

The Israeli military has released video footage which, it says, clears it of blame for the deaths of a Palestinian woman and her four children in Gaza.

It says the footage shows the family died because a missile attack on a Palestinian militant set off explosives he was carrying, in a secondary blast.

[...]

The Israeli human rights group, B'Tselem, has said that, regardless of whether there was a secondary explosion, it was probably a breach of international law to fire a missile into a densely populated area.

Naqba Coming Soon: Those Dastardly Zionists

Looks like we're ramping up for yet another Nakba, a pseudo-festival that essentially boils down to another tireless excuse for Muslims to come out and hate Israel some more. In preparations for this year's festivities, which will happen on the 15th of May, we can see the Palestinians are already putting on one heck of a play.

Palestinians take part in a play in commemoration of Nakba Day "The Day of Catastrophe" during a rally in Gaza May 1, 2008. Palestinians will mark Nakba on May 15 as a day of mourning for the establishment of Israel after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war which led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

Seriously, I'm not sure what I find funnier about this picture—The fact that they use midgets to represent the IDF, or the fact that there is almost nobody watching (at least, judging by the background).

Hamas Hudna

nospam@example.com (DMartyr) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:02:59 -0500

Hamas offers ten year truce to Israel:

Just hours after former President Jimmy Carter trumpeted Hamas' agreement to let Israel "live as a neighbor," the same terrorist leader he met with face-to-face vowed not to recognize the Jewish state.

But Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal did offer Israel a 10-year truce if it withdraws from all lands it seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

"They Hit Us Back First!"

It seems Hamas, and the U.N., are a bit upset Israel had the audacity to retaliate to an attack which killed several IDF troops.

Hamas is now vowing revenge. Again.

Gaza City, 17 April (AKI) - The Islamist Palestinian group, Hamas, has vowed to avenge the deaths of 20 Palestinians, including five children, killed during clashes with Israeli troops in the past two days.

According to the Arab network, Al-Jazeera, Hamas issued the warning on Thursday as thousands of people gathered in the Gaza Strip for the funeral of a cameraman killed as he covered the Israeli raids.

...

The United Nations condemned the Israeli raids that also killed two leaders from the Islamic Jihad's armed wing the al-Quds Brigades.

The Israeli raids took place after three Israeli soldiers were killed on Wednesday in a clash with Palestinian militants.

Seriously, if you Israelis would just roll over and die, the muslims would be happy and leave the rest of the world alone.

At least that's what they say.
