Hamas once again manipulates the entire population of the Gaza Strip into yet another photogenic mass rally "demanding" yet again that Israel ignore all of the crimes Hamas has committed against it and end the (rather gentle) embargo (more, more) against the terrorist entity.



The key has a very specific meaning, by the way. Also note that today's Friday, the Islamic day of prayer, so it's not like Hamas had to work very hard to get these loyal citizens out of their already-quite-mob-inciting mosques.

Update: Is this yet another anti-Annapolis protest? Some of the captions coming in indicate that this is the case, making this roughly Day 4 of Annapolis rage. Continue reading »

Very interesting coincidences, no?

(Regarding the "right" of return:—Keep in mind that with respect to any "peace" conference assembled, Palestinians demand an independent state of their own on one hand, yet they demand that Palestinian "refugees" maintain the "right" to return to Israel on the other. Sound confusing? Yeah, it might be—until you take a look at which map they are working from... It's all about "conquest," people. Nothing more, nothing less.)

UPDATE: According to the latest captions coming in, a man has been killed by Fatah security forces in Hebron, after being shot point-blank in the chest. Reports are that 15 other protesters have also been injured in the area—no specifics or details on them yet. Continue reading »
