Cutting straight to the point

So I have to ask myself…

I got a commenter who says s/he was at a Bi’ilin “protest.” These are the weekly protests held by the ISM, palestinians, and their buddies, wherein they go to forbidden military areas, or try to cut down the security fence. They then throw stones at the IDF soldiers who try to stop them from doing it.

So I have to ask myself: Do I really want to approve one of these assholes as a commenter here?

I was at one of those protests. It was completely peaceful until the IDF or Border Police, or whatever opened up with sound bombs and rubber bullets.

JFK: “A nation that makes peaceful protest impossible, makes violent revolution inevitable.”

Naaaaah. I can just as easily give you the contents of the comment and not bother having a troll around to annoy me. Because yeah, the IDF just loves to go around throwing sound bombs and shooting people with rubber bullets for no reason. Yep. Uh-huh. Sure. I believe you, when your organization teaches its people how to lie in order to get into Israel.

“Thinker” found this blog by googling “Zionist blog,” and then posting about protesting the security fence in Israel. Notice how s/he can’t even tell if it was IDF or Border Police. I’m guessing Thinker wasn’t really there at all.

I think I’ll pass.

P.S.: Number one on Google search for Zionist Blog. I will wear that honor proudly.

If it’s Friday, it must be ISM Riot Time

palestinian stone throwersThe weekly riots in a closed military zone in Bi’ilin have resulted in the weekly injury, only this time, it wasn’t soldiers.

A photographer was lightly wounded by a stun grenade on Friday afternoon, during what has become a routine weekly protest against the construction of the security barrier in the West Bank town of Bili’in, west of Ramallah.

Once again, dozens of Palestinians accompanied by Israeli and foreign left-wing activists violated the closed military zone order, throwing stones at the IDF soldiers, prompting the troops to forcefully disperse the demonstrators.

I don’t post about this every week, but you can find an article a week about these so-called protests, which often result in IDF soldiers being injured by thrown stones. And let us remember that the “stones” thrown by palestinians are not pebbles.

Scrubs slams scientology

This week’s episode of Scrubs, besides being utterly hilarious, slammed scientology in the bargain. The serious plot is Carla’s post-partum depression. They have another character talk to her, and this was the line that had me laughing so hard I scared the cats:

“Listen: You can’t get rid of this by sheer force of will, or positive thinking, or taking advice from a big Hollywood movie star and the dead science fiction writer he worships. You need to get some help.”

All hail comedy writers, Masters of Juvenile Scorn themselves.
