here we go again, again. again.
so the 48-hour airstrike suspension was a joke - less than one day into it they’d killed a Lebanese Officer. another ‘tragic mistake’, no doubt.
and in the PR battle, Olmert came out and said that hezbollah was ’seriously damaged’, to which Hezbollah responded with 200+ rockets (a new single-day record and nearly DOUBLE the previous [...]
THANK YOU ISRAEL
THANK ‘G-D’. finally, somebody gave in. peretz, olmert, who cares. FINALLY, if only for two days.
i encourage everyone on the planet to support the following organizations like never before:
Unicef
MSF International
ICRC
please and thank you and here’s hoping it lasts. (i’m looking at you, nasrallah)
wait, they’ve just clarified & qualified on CNNi - Israel ‘reserves the right [...]
a million to one…
it’s one of those things i had thought was an urban legend.
when you spend as much time as i do on the internet, researching what’s happening in the world, and what happened to bring us to this point, you’ll come across some wild, speculative, ‘fringy’ stuff on a regular basis. like the claim that a [...]
a quick thought…
it has just occured to me, as Israel awaits the rush-shipment of American Precision Guided ‘bunker-busting’ Munitions, that in the wake of one ‘tragic mistake’ after another by the IDF, maybe Israel should START TARGETING CIVILIANS.
sounds crazy, i know, but given the current ‘pinpoint accuracy’ of the Israeli strikes which have ‘accidentally’ killed hundreds of [...]
full disclosure
ok, in the wake of Massacre II in the Lebanese village of Qana (as opposed to Massacre I, the 1996 Israeli shelling of a UN facility which killed 102 Lebanese refugees), the failure-by-design of condi’s pseudo-diplomacy, the repetition ad infinitum of ‘1559′ by bolton, gillerman, and FoxNews, and in keeping with the recent announcement of [...]
a special brand of journalism
maybe it should be called sigh-ops.
day 16 of Operation Extreme Makeover: Lebanon Edition, and my buddy shep smith has just learned how to pronouce Kiryat Shmona.
then he goes to get some insight into the fighting across the border from ‘one of the troops’, identified onscreen as ‘Major Michael Oren’. first i was struck by the [...]
scuttle diplomacy
Here we go again, again.
But first i have to get a few things off my digital chest:
1. ward churchill… ward churchill needs to STFU.
(or, “did you hear the one about the jackass who needs to STFU? *chuckle*…”)
2. If i hear that GDMF ‘HeadOn’ commercial one more time it’s going to give me a headache. That, and [...]
in case you missed it, February edition
well it seems like the Powers That Be have been working overtime to confound me, piling on the ridiculousness like there’s no tomorrow. so i’ve gotten a new pda (more on that later) and a new attitude (hoo-hoo hoo-hoo hooo), and away we go.
first things first, Ariel Sharon is still in a coma at Hadassah [...]
pulsa dinura fulfilled - Ariel Sharon RIP
this time sans questionmark, because the question seems to have been answered. key figures have already been using past tense in referring to Ariel Sharon, and it’s widely acknowledged that even if he pulls through physically, his political life is over.
amazing, isn’t it, to hear Jews, Muslims, and Christians shouting, in unison, “this is a gift from god!” - [...]
pulsa dinura fulfilled?
Nearly five months ago, a group of right-wing extremists in Israel held a ‘Pulsa Dinura’ ceremony, a mystical ritual calling upon the ‘angels of destruction’ to kill Ariel Sharon.
Well, it looks as though the angels were listening. The news of the day is that Sharon has been hospitalized by a minor stroke. Maybe it’s not the death [...]
