Will they ever come back? Yes and no

Making Every Day a Happy Naksa

It seems that there's always a reason to celebrate -er, make that "protest"- over in the "Palestinian" terror-tories. Today marks the 40th year since the Israeli victory over the Arab forces which surrounded her, intent on her utter destruction. Much like any other event, though, one need not look for any hints of reality in the collection of terror-supporters and useful idiots who showed up to "commemorate" this "great tragedy."

I'll be tracking as many of the pictures of today's "festivities" that I can. The most amusing event that I've seen is when the local Palestinians savages turned on the leftist protesters useful idiots who came to defend them support terrorism, which you can read in full glory over at Carl's place. I'm eagerly awaiting photographs from that little dust-up, but have a sneaking suspicion that the wires will "accidentally" self-censor it.

So until then, we'll just have to enjoy what we've got. May God continue to bless Israel, and may Israel continue to bless God!

Preening leftists overacting as "Palestinians" and "Israeli soldiers."

The most stifling of stifles

"Stifling" sea blockade.
Ok—the headlines today are all heralding the lifting of Israel's air blockade of Lebanon. We're told that Israel won't be lifting the naval blockade any time soon, though, as the elite international forces on the ground can't guarantee that arms aren't being shipped into the area yet. (I'm not holding my breath for that, either!)

This caption is typical of the coverage—albeit, attached to a photograph of the naval blockade:

Israel pledged to lift its stifling air and sea blockade of Lebanon on Thursday, bowing to international pressure and allowing massive rebuilding efforts to begin in the war-ravaged country. The Israeli Prime Minister's office made the announcement Wednesday, saying international forces would take over the task of preventing arms shipments from reaching Hezbollah guerrillas.

"Stifling?" Isn't that egregious use of emotional language, Ariel?

August 17, 2006!
Of course, what Ariel and the rest of the press would prefer you to forget is that passenger flights have been landing in Lebanon for almost three weeks now.

So, in other words, even though Israel those dastardly Zionists are relentlessly and ruthlessly blockading the entire country of Lebanon, somehow British Airways managed to land in Beirut on August 17?

Yeah, that's real stifling, Ariel.

Hands up, Eyes skyward!

Today's photos are, as usual, straight from the Hezbullah playbook.

And, lest we forget who our enemies are:

In case there was any doubt of how widespread the threat of Islamofascism is, check out this next picture. Raising our children to want to kill other people is perfectly normal in our "diverse, multi-cultural" world, isn't it?

And, in the following shot, notice how the signs are (a) written up for our idiotic left-wing media, (b) suggest that somehow, Hamas is involved in the current Israeli war. Of course, if you've been following the war, you'd probably already be aware that it involves Hezbullah, but I figure this is another good illustration of how interchangable these radical islamic groups are. Alternately, these pictures could be leftovers from another demonstration unrelated to what's going on now. Either theory works for me, at this point. It's clear that there's NO trusting the press to give us an unbiased look at it.

The fist in the air: The universal symbol of radicalism, everywhere! Judging by the sign, it would seem that this crowd supports ALL terrorists, after all.

This next picture is a good illustration of Zombie's Type 4 fraud:

Notice the subtle bias there? "We take Hezbullah at their word, unquestionably, but if IDF says something, we'd best be sure people know it COULD BE FALSE."

Gimme a break!
