Snapped Shot

I'm sure Israel's comforted by the UnTIEd Nations Peacekeeping (And Terrorist-Rearming) Force being in Lebanon. This photograph should be on the front page of EVERY SINGLE NEWSPAPER in Israel, as a reminder of how friendly the United Nations really is with piddling terrorists.

Update 22:24 EST: LGF has finally noticed this photograph, but is still behind the game. You still read it here first, folks! (Just joshing ya a bit, Charles! Believe me, I read your site more than I read mine, just like everyone else...)

I'm having a hard time with this particular photograph. For starters, the silhouetted soldiers seem to be too small to be positioned where they are, compared to the background. Also, we're told by our intrepid photographer that we're looking at "a mock graveyard," which might be true, but what we're not told is that this is a picture of Martyr's Square, a center of Hezbullah's propaganda operations oddly reminiscent of Cindy Sheehan's Camp Casey.

I really can't tell. Click on the "Read More" link below to find the (hopefully) obvious answer. And then ask yourself how original the Left really is.

(The wires, thankfully, are identifying this as a protest organized by Hezbullah. At least we're not expected to believe it's spontaneous, as the press here in the United States tries to portray leftist protests here as...)

Oh, and let's be clear here: These people are not "Anti-War" protesters, by any stretch of the imagination. They're perfectly happy with war, especially on Israel—but are also very happy to wage war against the rest of what they view as an "imperialistic" Western world.

If one side wants war, and the other side is too cowardly to fight back, which side do you suppose will win?

One thing's for certain:—The press is not on the same side as the West. Continue reading »
