Yes, I’m just in one of those moods.

Hassan Nasrallah: I wish Arabs would invade Palestine

(And by “Palestine,” he means “Israel.” And by “Arab Nation,” he means, “A fictional land that does not exist, will not exist, and frankly, never existed.”)

Meryl Yourish: I wish Nasrallah would have the stones to come out of his secure, undisclosed location so the IAF can take him out once and for all.

Al-Quds [Jerusalem's Arab name] Day: 135,000 Muslims attend Temple Mount prayer

And yet, Jews are not allowed to pray on the Temple Mount. That’s right. Forbidden from praying near our Holy of Holies. And this is when Israel controls it. Could you imagine what would happen if the Muslims regained the Temple Mount? Joseph’s Tomb, anyone?

The modern-day Hitler on the made-up holiday for Jew-haters: Ahmadinejad calls Israel ‘insult to human dignity’ on Al-Quds Day

Dude. Dude. Can you say, “Projection”? Because I think the entire human race’s dignity level goes down every time you open your mouth.

No, really. They’re not kidding: PA demands release of all prisoners in coming months

And they want a pony, a puppy, and a kitten for each prisoner as compensation for time spent. And the winged horse that Mohammed flew to Jerusalem with. Hey. It’s in the koran. It must be true.

Today’s Snark Report was brought to you by: Friday.

In his post The Regrettable State of Being non-Muslim, Mick Hartley, one of my favorites, unearthed an interesting - an ominous - article by Raymond Ibrahim, titled The Two Faces of Al Qaeda.

The article is a shocking document that should (but wouldn’t, unfortunately) change some minds concerned with the Western guilt, Muslim grievances and worthy causes, the main, as usual, appearing to be the existence of these pesky Zionists that just refuse to curl up and die to satisfy the Ummah. It shows quite clearly that the message periodically transmitted to the West by Bin Laden and his minions, by uncounted mullahs and all kinds of offended and angry Islamists is no more than a smokescreen. Consider this utterance by Bin Laden (not for Western consumption, to be sure):

As to the relationship between Muslims and infidels, this is summarized by the Most High’s Word: “We renounce you. Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us — till you believe in Allah alone.”

And then consider this:

Hassan Butt, a former jihadist, helps explain the Islamist dichotomy between the propaganda of reciprocity and the theology of eternal hostility toward the infidel: “When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network … I remember how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings, and 7/7 was Western foreign policy.”

And understand that all you hear from various guilt-carrying Western pundits is nothing more than a result of careful and successful brainwashing. And that these fellow travelers are doing exactly what the Islamists want them to do - to preach their message to the West, while the purveyors of the double tongued messages prepare their believers to another Jihad, having little to do with these real or imaginary grievances.

Of course, one could hardly find a more exemplary fellow traveler than one quoted in the article.

For example, on Saturday on Radio 4’s Today program, the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, said: “What all our intelligence shows about the opinions of disaffected young Muslims is the main driving force is not Afghanistan, it is mainly Iraq.”

And there are legions of fellow travelers and legions of suckers ready to believe that once the grievances are eliminated and some “land for peace” adjustments are made (based, most probably, on the old maps so cherished by the Ummah), everything will be just peachy. After all, what are a few acres or even a few millions of acres between friends. And some moderate dhimmitude cannot hurt… not when you get used to it.

Peace Be Upon You…

Aviation Week asked a group of aerospace and military experts to analyze how the Israeli Air Force managed to penetrate Russian-built (and Iranian-bought) Syrian radar installations in last month’s strike. The consensus: Israel has technology that can completely subvert and then take over the Russian-made technology.

U.S. aerospace industry and retired military officials indicated today that a technology like the U.S.-developed “Suter” airborne network attack system developed by BAE Systems and integrated into U.S. unmanned aircraft by L-3 Communications was used by the Israelis. The system has been used or at least tested operationally in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last year.

The technology allows users to invade communications networks, see what enemy sensors see and even take over as systems administrator so sensors can be manipulated into positions so that approaching aircraft can’t be seen, they say. The process involves locating enemy emitters with great precision and then directing data streams into them that can include false targets and misleading messages algorithms that allow a number of activities including control.

It gets better. Remember reading about the state-of-the-art anti-aircraft defense systems that Iran bought for Syria? It’s not confirmed, but it’s thought that those are the defense systems that Israel penetrated. That would certainly explain the waves of silence that came out of Syria after the attack.

The system in question is thought to be the new Tor-M1 launchers which carries eight missiles as well as two of the Pachora-2A system. Iran bought 29 of the Tor launchers from Russia for $750 million to guard its nuclear sites, and they were delivered in Jan., according to Agency France-Press and ITAR-TASS. Syrian press reports they were tested in February. They also are expected to form a formidable system when used with the longer-range S-300/SA-10 which Iran has been trying to buy from Russia. Syria has operated SA-6s for years and more recently has been negotiating with Russians for the Tor-M1. What systems were actually guarding the Syrian site are not known.

None of this, mind you, explains why the North Koreans got so bent out of shape after the attack. That’s one reason so many people think that the site had something to do with nukes. But of course, if there were nuclear materials there, they’d be protected by the best Russian anti-aircraft defense systems money can buy.

And, apparently, Israel can bypass. The Iranians cannot be happy at this news. But we are.
