Tuesday SNB

Gush Shalom: With friends like these… The background: Israel is looking into making it illegal for foreign countries to fund organizations that actively work against Israel, such as Breaking the Silence, the discredited organization that uses anonymous soldiers without any factual data to accuse Israel of war crimes in Gaza. Gush Shalom is urging the EU to tell Israeli that if that happens, the EU will stop funding programs in hospitals, universities, and other organizations that help people. Way to work for your counry, GS! Wow, with friends like you, who needs enemies? You’re doing the work for them.

Lebanon is circling the drain: So, when Hezbollah launches the next attack, and Israel defends herself, will anyone in the UN, EU, or anti-Israel media notice that the people of Lebanon are choosing to side with the terrorsts? Druze leader Walid Jumblatt says he’s shifting alliances—which would give Hezbollah the power it’s been seeking if he throws his votes in with them. Just remember this over the shouts of disproportional force hitting the poor, innocent Lebanese who want nothing to do with Hezbollah.

If you’ve lost the AP, you’ve lost America: Even the AP is noticing that Obama isn’t going to be able to pay for all the programs he’s trying to shove down our throats—because tax revenues have dropped the most they have declined since 1932. Three cheers for Congress, eh? At this rate, we’ll be smack-dab in the Hoover Administration before you can say “depression.”

You’ve lost the AP: Yes, that would be two days in a row that the AP has noticed that Obama is not the magician he appeared to be on the campaign trail. Yesterday, tax revenues are down. Today, the AP notes that Obama can’t support his big-spending programs without taxing the middle class. Speaking as a taxable middle class person, I’m damned glad the media are finally noticing that Obama has been lying from the get-go. Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Say, how can you tell when a politician is lying? That’s right, his mouth is open. No hope, no change, just more of the same.
