I wish you all an easy fast.

This will be my last post until after sundown tomorrow. Long after. My synagogue’s services tend to go over the usual time, so I figure I’ll be fasting for (sigh) some 27 hours.

And no, the cats will not be fasting.

How low can you go? Think below ground, then keep digging. Fatah terrorists tried to convince a 14-year-old boy, who had a fight with his father, to become a suicide bomber.

I’m sure you all remember being a teenager. I’m sure you all remember fighting with your parents. I’m sure you all remember thinking, “They’ll be sorry when I’m gone.”

Now think of the pals using these emotions to try to convince a child to end his life while also blowing up innocents in a market or a restaurant.

The Shin Bet security services said Wednesday morning said that it has arrested a 14-year-old Palestinian boy from the West Bank town of Nablus on suspicion of planning to carry out a suicide bombing. The boy was arrested Tuesday.

During questioning, the boy said he had an argument with his father and that militants from the Fatah movement in the Balata refugee camp who knew of this attempted to convince him to become a suicide bomber.

According to the boy, the wanted men took him for a motivation talk in an apartment in the refugee camp and even filmed his “video testimony,” in which the boy is seen holding a rifle and announcing his intent to carry out a suicide attack.

How low can they go? It seems there is no underestimating the depths to which the Jew-haters of the palestinian terror groups will sink. Such is the culture in which they have been raised, and which they are continually exposed to.

Build the fence, Arik.

The end of Jew Cooties in Pakistan?

Apparently, Pakistan has decided that American Jews don’t have cooties.

They’ve also decided to accept aid from Israel.

For the first time since its creation, Pakistan has accepted an offer of relief aid and financial assistance from Israel for its post-earthquake relief activities.

Geo, a private television channel, reported on Wednesday that President General Pervez Musharraf had given the nod to Tel Aviv for its offer of relief goods and financial assistance.

The information could not be confirmed from the government.

However, the channel said it was not clear what type of relief goods and technical assistance will be on their way to Pakistan from Israel and who will receive and operate them.

Could this be the end of the Jew Cooties category?

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
