Not even labor pains could stop SNN from going up. Mostly because Brian of London wasn’t the one in labor.

And I can’t wait until he reads what I just wrote.

Go. Listen. I guess we’re in the middle of what’s known as a pregnant pause.

Co-opting the language, Hamas style

I’ve written before how the palestinians make it a habit of taking the terms and descriptions used by and for Israel (such as the Israeli Law of Return changed to the palestinian “right of return”) and co-opting them for the palestinians. Here’s Hamas’ latest attempt to turn the tables on the Israelis:

Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal arrived in Moscow on Monday for talks aimed at lobbying Russia to push for an end to a Western aid embargo on the Palestinian government.

“Our goal is to encourage the international community to start cooperation with the Palestinian government and pressurize Israel to recognize the Palestinian state’s right to exist,” RIA Novosti news agency quoted him as saying.

Say what you will about them, they’re experts at PR.

And say what you will about the Russians, they’re still the Jew-hating sons of bitches who invented the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and kept millions of Russian Jews hostage rather than let them emigrate to freedom.

“We value Russia’s position toward lifting the blockade from which the Palestinian people suffer. We also value Russia’s special position in the issues of the Middle East settlement.”

Russia has taken a softer line on the Islamist Hamas than the United States and the European Union, which along with the United Nations make up the Quartet of Middle East peace negotiators.

Russia wants the world to deal with the openly genocidal terrorist organization, and return to giving them more money with which to murder Jews. I’m betting the Russians never met a Jew-hating terrorist they didn’t like. Well, except for the ones in Chechnya. Funny how terrorism only matters there, and nowhere else. Well, no, not really funny. We know why that is.
