Worldwide Anti-Annapolis Protests: Day 1

It would seem that the entire ummah is on fire in protest against the farce of a conference in Annapolis. Finally, I am in agreement with the ummah on something (though I'd imagine for far different reasons). The highlight of today's protests? Perhaps the coolest portrait of Condoleeza Rice ever published, even outshining my previous fave:

I'll be rounding up the other highlights from around the world following the fold. Stay tuned for more!

Update: Someone has definitely been very busy spreading the propaganda about the Annapolis conference. Notice how all of these protests suggest that somehow, the United States and Israel are either conspiring to revoke the "right" of return, or how we're conspiring to seize Al-Aqsa. 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 »
 

Muhammed Muheisen, Siding with the Terrorists

Muhammed Muheisen of the Associated Press, and "friend" of Snapped Shot, covers an anti-Israeli protest in only the most impartial way:

Israel says the barrier is necessary for security, Palestinians call it a land grab. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen)


I will say this: I'm very pleased to see that neither Muhammed nor his counterparts at the AP Editorial Desk tried to pass this off as a "peaceful" protest. Keep up the good work, M.!
 

Too Cool for the Room

Head Hamas Fatah [Ed.:—Thanks, Aviv! More coffee for me...] thugocrat Mahmoud Abbas isn't bothered in the least by the repeated violence in the Gaza Strip (more on that shortly). Watch in amazement as he continues to keep his "cool:"

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, wears a hat during Friday noon prayers outside his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Friday, Sept. 7, 2007. In several West Bank cities, Fatah supporters gathered for public Friday noon prayers in open areas to express solidarity with Fatah in Gaza. In the Gaza Strip, Hamas security forces armed with rifles and clubs beat Fatah supporters trying to hold street prayers to protest the Islamic group's rule in Gaza, in the latest episode in friction between the groups since Hamas' bloody seizure of power in Gaza in June. This week Hamas banned all public prayers. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen)


I wonder if AP propagandist Muhammed Muheisen, who is something of a fan of this website, would take as glowing a portrait of President George W. Bush as this.
 

Associated Press promotes the Blogosphere?

One of this blog's very best friends has posted a photo to the newswire that slipped by me at first. Here's the original:

Palestinian youths walk by a section of Israel's separation barrier near the West Bank city of Ramallah, Tuesday, June 5, 2007, on the 40th anniversary of the start of the Six Day War. In the 1967 fighting, Israel seized the West Bank and part of Jerusalem from Jordan and the Gaza Strip from Egypt, putting it in control of land that some Israelis see as God-given and others see as a burden. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen)


I made a mental note of it because it's an image that's been noted before, elsewhere along the wall. Leftists from all around the world are sure to scrawl just about any manner of propaganda that they can on the "apartheid" wall, so it wasn't unusual to see another shot of a familiar piece of graffiti. And then, I noticed the writing towards the centre of the picture, and pulled down a higher-resolution copy from the AP wire archives:

"www.bethlehemghetto.blogspot.com" Click to view full-size.


Apparently, our illustrious photographer has no qualms with using the Associated Press wire services to transmit what is essentially a free advertisement for an anti-Israeli blog. And the editors at the Associated Press have no qualms with publishing it.

Good to know that the AP has decided to start promoting the blogosphere. Congratulations to Bethlehem Bloggers for the success of their new, multi-billion dollar promotion. (If any of my Zionist friends wishes to "accidentally" spray an advertisement for Snapped Shot on that "racist" wall, I'd be gladly willing to pay peanuts for it. Maybe even donuts!)

As a bonus, I've posted the latest "Racist, Apartheid Graffiti" beyond the fold. Hope you enjoy the nutty propagandistic goodness! Continue reading »
 

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."

Winning Friends and Influencing People

I have a sneaking suspicion that I won't be expecting any Christmas cards from Muhammed Muheisen, AP photographer.

Muhammed Muheisen, AP Photographer, "Friend" of Snapped Shot


That's okay. I'm sure my card from Chris Anderson will be here any day now!

Update: Muhammed Muheisen stops by again.

Update: Tom White, also a friend of Snapped Shot.

Update: Angela O'Hara, big-time fan of Snapped Shot.
 

Mission Accomplished: They got Jughead!

Sometimes the best titles come to you when you're stuck in a car... Orig. title: Al Aqsa Liquidation Continues?

Remember our identify this terrorist article from way back? It seems that somebody was listening...

Israeli and Palestinian leaders are to meet next week in the Palestinian territories for the first time in a bid to restore a shattered cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, a senior Palestinian official said. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen)


I know I said I'd miss the little retard, but I never expected to actually see him go.

Score one for the good guys! (You can find more discussion of Al Aqsa's demise here and here, if you'd like...)

Update: Are any of y'all facial recognition experts? Does this photo look like our guy to you? It does to me.

If it is him, that would connect him to the former Abu Amar Martyr's Brigade, which would definitely make my Theory #2 far more plausible...

Double Update: More pictures of the "Martyrs' Rally" are coming in now. Feel free to peruse them, beyond the fold!

Curses, foiled again!


Ah Well: It would seem that our Jughead (aka Amin Lubadi) passed away sometime around the 23rd of April, long before the latest little spat of violence against Al Aqsa members. Drat!

Relatives carry the body of Amin Lubadi during his funeral in the West Bank town of Nablus, 22 April 2007. Israeli troops shot dead two gunmen from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades today during an Israeli operation which resulted in heavy exchanges of fire in Nablus. Palestinian security sources identified one of the two men as Amin Lubadi, 25 and Fadel Nur, 23. AFP PHOTO/JAAFAR ASHTIYEH


Relatives carry the body of Amin Lubadi during his funeral ... blah blah. Same credit as last photo.
