The best thing about being the number one search result for “Zionist blog“?

It puts me on top of a viciously anti-Israel blogger.

It’s because of this post from 2006 that I almost forgot about writing. (You see, I just take for granted the fact that people can figure out where my stance is regarding Israel in about, oh, one post. Sometimes two, if the one post is a non-political post.)

Update: Check that. He’s a viciously anti-Semitic mofo. Now I like even more that my blog comes up first.

This is a wonderful juxtaposition. I can’t make this stuff up.

First:

Abbas to UN chief: PA committed to peace
The Palestinians are committed to a truce and a comprehensive peace deal with Israel, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday after a meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.

Abbas said he is also committed to bringing about the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit who is being held by Hamas militants.

Abbas asked Ban to speed up the UN’s plan to register Palestinian damage claims, following the construction of Israel’s security fence in the West Bank.

Second:

Molotov cocktails thrown at IDF near Nablus
Several Molotov cocktails were thrown at IDF soldiers near Nablus on Sunday afternoon.

No one was injured, and no damage was caused.

Third:

Shin Bet arrest man suspected of stabbing attack
A Fatah Tanzim operative, suspected of stabbing an Israeli women near in the West Bank last December was arrested on Saturday, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced on Sunday afternoon.

Rajeb Salah is also believed to have been involved in several shooting attacks and Molotov cocktail attacks.

Last:

Two Kassams fired at Israel, none wounded
Two Kassam rockets were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip on Sunday afternoon.

One landed in the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council, while the second landed inside the Palestinian Authority.

No one was wounded and no damage caused by either rocket.

Yes, that’s right. The pals are a peaceful people, with peaceful intentions, delivered by explosive vests, rockets that have explosives and shrapnel, Molotov cocktails, and stabbings and shootings. But otherwise, they want peace.

Uh-huh.

My “niece” (who is my niece in all but blood) got into Interlochen summer music camp, not an easy place to get into. Here’s a picture that we could call portrait of the artist as a young girl:

Note the look of intense concentration. This was taken during a concert. I have pictures of that exact same expression on Sorena from when she was nine. She’s a teenager now.

And I’m even including a little bit of her audition songs, here and here.

I am very proud of her. She was talking so fast on the message she left me, I had to listen to it twice to hear anything other than “IgotinIgotinIgotin!”

When the left abandons you, you will naturally turn to the right, and even to the extreme right. Apparently, the Jews of France have had enough of the socalists who refuse to acknowledge Muslim anti-Semitism, and are turning to the parties who want to throw the Muslims out of France.

It is almost certain the extreme right headed by Jean-Marie Le Pen will benefit from the terror that has settled in the hearts of the Jews. In the past, Jews did not vote for Le Pen because they saw him as a racist and a xenophobe. As long as they felt protected, they condemned him and his opinions. But in light of their feeling that the state has abandoned them, some see him as a worthy address.

While the state has not admitted to the growth of extremist elements in the Muslim community, Le Pen more forcefully emphasizes his well-known opinions: Muslims, or most Muslims, should go back to their countries of origin. The enemy of my enemy has suddenly become a friend. A Jewish doctor in this picturesque town said a few days ago that many of his friends intended to vote for Le Pen. “Of course, because he is the best for the Jews of France,” he said. A friend of his, an economics professor who took part in the conversation, conceded that although things had improved, most of the Jews of Aix-en-Provence would vote either for the right-wing candidate Nicolas Sarkozy or Le Pen. “I have a feeling that Le Pen will do very well in the coming elections,” he said.

In the last elections, in 2002, Le Pen got most of the votes in the mixed cities, where veteran French people live alongside Muslim immigrants. Sarkozy, the leading candidate, is for this reason trying with all his might to pull votes that have already leaked into Le Pen’s camp. Segolene Royal, the left-wing candidate, knows that hundreds of thousands of votes have gone to the margins, pursued by fears and insecurity.

These are frightening times indeed. Le Pen hates Jews nearly as much as he hates Muslims. I imagine that he’s perfectly happy taking on one group at a time, though I’m surprised he doesn’t go for the weaker minority first. Or perhaps he’s a realist, and knows that Jews have never been a threat to France. I don’t think you can say the same about its Muslims.

The wire services are doing their best to bury the fact that a two-year-old and a four-year-old child were killed by Hamas and Fatah over the past two days. You have to search long and hard to find any notice of it.

For instance, the AP buried it in the last paragraph—which almost always gets cut—in this story about Belgium recognizing the “unity” government. Seriously. That last paragraph reads:

Palestinian infighting persisted. A 4-year-old boy caught in the crossfire of a shootout between Fatah and Hamas forces died of his wounds Friday, while a pro-Fatah security man was abducted and killed, Palestinian security officials said.

Two toddlers in two days, as well as another “militant.” I challenge you to imagine the reaction if the IDF had killed two children in two separate attacks in two days. In fact, I’m surprised the terrorists haven’t tried to pin this one on the Israelis.

Funny how this story would have gotten so much more attention if only the names of the people doing the shooting had been changed.

A 4-year-old boy caught in the crossfire of a shootout between Fatah and Hamas forces died of his wounds yesterday, while a pro-Fatah security man was abducted and killed, Palestinian security officials said, raising tensions between the sides just days after the formation of their unity government.

Hassan Abu Nada, 4, was wounded during a gunfight Thursday in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya. Relatives said the boy died from his wounds early Friday.

The boy’s father cradled the small body of the boy, wrapped in a green shroud, as he led hundreds of people in a funeral procession. Palestinian security officials said the family had not been targeted by the Hamas gunmen, but lived in the same building as a wanted Fatah militant commander.

More than 140 people have been killed in factional violence in the Gaza Strip since last May in the wake of Hamas’ election victory over Fatah. The two sides finalized a power-sharing deal last Saturday aimed in large part at ending the infighting.

Let’s take a look at an old AP story by the same author, shall we?

Palestinian Deaths in Gaza Raid Rises

No ambiguous headline there. Death toll rising, and we know who killed them. Note that they don’t “die” in the crossfire. They are killed.

One of the Palestinians killed in the clashes in the town of Beit Hanoun was a 70-year-old civilian, Palestinian hospital officials said. The other two were militants in their 20s, relatives and officials said.

Their deaths raised to 11 the number of Palestinians killed since the operation began on Wednesday. At least nine were militants.

What a difference the person on the end of the trigger makes, eh? But no. There’s no anti-Israel bias in the media. Not at all.

Yes, really. This guy is great. And you must click on these in order to get the full laugh.
