War snark

Because I know you want it.

Stop the presses! I agree with Muammar Gaddafi: Gaddafi: Revoke Arab peace initiative

My future husband (sigh) is back in the game: Dan Gillerman appointed head of Israel’s PR campaign for Gaza op Yes, yes, I know he’s married. But I find him incredibly sexy. That voice. That voice!

So does this mean Iran is un-denying the Holocaust? Iranian official: Israeli offensive in Gaza similar to Hitler’s actions

Well, this is useful: Iran orders Muslims to defend Palestinians in Gaza Just like they did in 2006 in Lebanon! Oh-for-two, genius.

I thought they canceled the Gay Pride parade: Foreign Minister: We’ll allow transfer of aid to strip

Shocked, shocked, I am shocked at this news: Iran’s president condemns Israel’s attacks on Gaza Rename this one “The Duh! Factor”

Yeah, but we don’t care: Across Mideast, thousands protest Israeli assault

No, seriously, we don’t care: Palestinian leader condemns Israeli attacks

Really. We don’t care: UN calls for end to Gaza violence

Hamas really doesn’t care, either: Egypt says Hamas not allowing wounded to leave Gaza Gee. What a shock.

And now, off to breakfast. Today is the next-to-last day of Hanukkah, and I have invited the R. family over for latkes. Many things to do before they arrive.

    Just did a quick Google and came up with this recent article (from a Russian paper):

    Over 670 Kurdish rebels killed in Turkey this year

    ANKARA, December 11 (RIA Novosti) – At least 670 Kurdish militants have been killed by Turkish forces in counter-terrorism operations this year, the country’s General Staff said on Thursday.

    The largest numbers of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) separatists were killed in February and May – 250 and 179, respectively – mostly in the course of Turkish army air raids in northern Iraq, where PKK camps are based.

    The Turkish military said over 300 acts of violence had been prevented by army units as part of counterterrorism operations in the southeast of the country, and about 500 kilograms of explosives, 55 antipersonnel mines, and an assortment of weapons and ammunition were seized.

    The PKK, considered a terrorist organization by the EU, the U.S. and many other countries, has been fighting for an autonomous ethnic Kurd state in southeast Turkey for nearly 25 years. The conflict has claimed over 40,000 lives

    Numbers that make the Israel-Palestinian conflict pale by comparison. Yet I bet most otherwise avid news watchers are actually unaware of the scope of that conflict.

    Guess the BBC was busy reporting on Wimbledon.
