If it’s Friday, this must be Bilin: Oh, wait. It’s also Umm Salamuna, where peaceful “internationals” helped the peaceful Palestinians throw stones at the IDF. Number of wounded: Two soldiers and two “internationals.” I’m sorry—“peace activists.”
UNHRC Kangaroo Court Judges named: The United Nations has assembled their experts to determine how many international laws Israel broke in the Marbles Marmalade incident. It’s another case where the verdict is issued before the investigation begins. Just check the mandate:
1. Condemns in the strongest terms the outrageous attack by the Israeli forces against the humanitarian flotilla of ships, which resulted in the killing and injuring of many innocent civilians from different countries;
2. Deeply deplores the loss of life of innocent civilians, and expresses its deepest sympathy and condolences to the victims and their families;
8. Decides to dispatch an independent, international fact-finding mission to investigate violations of international law, including international humanitarian and human rights law, resulting from the Israeli attacks on the flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian assistance;
Yep. Gonna be a totally impartial and fair investigation. Just like all the other UN investigations of Israel.
So if you make a tiny hole in them, will anyone notice? Israel is returning the boats that the peaceful “activists” used. I say put some holes in the hulls. Small ones. Then take them slowly back to Turkey. “Honest, Erdogan, I have no idea why they’re riding so low. Here, have your boats back!”
How dare you accuse Hezbollah of assassinating a guy that Hezbollah wanted killed? Hassan Nasrallah is laying it on thick here, and Rafik Hariri’s son is going along with the pretense that it was some “rogue element” of Hezbollah that did the deed. Right. Sure. I have a bridge or three in Brooklyn for sale, cheap, barely used…. Best line from Hezbollah? Zionists planted the evidence that points to them. Using their spies in the telephone companies.
Send the boats back full of pigs.

Any potential for establishing a scrap iron industry in Israel?
How can you snark at the humanitarian crisis in Gaza? Why, because the humanitarian aid of the humanitarian aid flotilla was stopped by the mean old anti-humanitarian aid Israelis, that new mall that just opened in Gaza doesn’t have enough goods to reduce the humanitarian crisis it was built to alleviate. The haute couture shops there probably don’t have enough fashionable clothes for sale to the wives of the Hamas bigshots, because that flotilla was stopped, and that will cause a real humanitarian crisis for those bigshots when they come home and find dissatisfied wives. Oh, the humanity!
I wonder if that mall has a store to sell semtex vests? Is there a shop to sell “Make Your Own Rockets At Home In Your Garage” kits for Palestinian DIY addicts? No doubt there is a marital aids store too, where one of those Hamas bigshots can get the proper sized stick to beat his wife in a proper, Koranically-approved manner, especially if she gets too upset about that lack of haute coutoure clothing. Of course, as P. J. O’Rourke pointed out after inspecting a similar mall in The Wahhabist Entity, a man with four wives might well decide that the most inportant marital aid was a pair of earplugs.
As for Rafik Hariri’s son, there is a guy who knows which side of his bread substitute has the ersatz margarine on it. When the Lebanese let the Hezbos take over their country on behalf of Iran and Syria, they lost their independence again. They will pay a price for that bit of short-sighted cowadice. The brief war of 2006 was their last chance to retain independence, but they would rather be Iranian serfs than ally with Jews to maintain their freedom. I had better hear no whining from them about what happens when Iran next has Hezbollah start a war against Israel. By refusing to help Israel smash the Hezziesm they will have earned whatever happens to them as Iran pursues genocide against Israel. They will get no sympathy from me next time.
