What happened to the pictures? Exhibit A, Exhibit B
Will they ever come back? Yes and no

Record Speed!

It would seem that, in less than 12 hours, the dastardly Zionists have killed the leader of the brand new offshoot of Al-Aqsa Martys Brigades. Score one for the home team!

Palestinian mourners carry the body of militant Mohammed Morai, 24, the leader of the Abu Ammar Brigades, in the West Bank town of Jenin, Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Israeli troops shot and killed the wanted gunman in the nearby village of Kufr al-Dan, the army said. Residents identified the man as the leader of a new militant group linked to the Fatah movement called the 'Yasser Arafat Brigades.' After the shooting, dozens of people paraded his body through the streets of the village, vowing revenge. (AP Photo/Mohammed Ballas)


Notice that Mohammed Ballas and Mohammed Torokman were both present at the press conference announcing this new terror organization as well. Is it a coincidence that he was around when its brand new leader was slain? I think not.

I have a sneaking suspicion that both photographers were celebrating the day's festivities with the gang in the duration between this morning's story and this latest update. Good thing, too—otherwise, this immortal feat of Israeli policy would escape my notice completely.

I've rounded up some other pictures of this thankfully-former leader below the fold. Make note that some of the pictures are mildly graphic, so if you're averse to such things, be sure to skip this one.

Moneychangers outside the temple?

Ok, for starters, I thought that those dastardly Zionists were the evil moneychangers of this world, but maybe I've missed a memo or two.

The IDF has apparently raided what's alternately referred to as "a money changing shop" or "a money-changing agency," in what it says is an attempt to raid, "the financial infrastructure of terror organizations."

No complaints from where I'm sitting, though I'm sure the benficiaries of said "financial infrastructure" will be upset at this disruption.

Of course, the accounts provided to the various media are a bit muddied. Take this photograph for instance:



Mohamad Torokman of REUTERS identifies this as "a Palestinian man," who is "reacting" as he "looks at a money-changing agency.

Ok, for starters, it looks like this "Palestinian man" is inside of the money-changing agency, as the bills on this currency are expected to be facing out of the building for the clientele to see. (You can confirm that we are standing on the outside of the shop by noticing that there are reflections in front of the bill on the bottom.)

The Associated Press, the dastardly scoundrels earnest professionals that they are, went through the effort of identifying this man, thus shining a glaring light on REUTERS' attempt at manipulating the scenario. From the terrorist-supporting Mohommad Ballas,



We learn that this man is money-changer Younis Bogermi. Money-changer? Inside of a "money-changing shop?"

Any chance that Mr. Bogermi is the proprietor of this exchange?

Not that REUTERS is interested in learning this. Continue reading »
