Chewing their Quds

The boys over at Al Quds really need to learn how to read English. Elsewise they might not have gotten so excited about this old Lancet research that found no evidence the world’s oldest terrorist was poisoned—instead of secretly dying of AIDS after years of anal sex with other goat lovers.

In fairness, though, the Daily Mail, a paragon of Fleet Street journolism, started it recently when they recycled the article, did their own share of misreading the English (their own language) and announced that Arafat’s toothbrush was radioactive, ergo he died of radiation poisoning. Which the research never found. But that didn’t stop them from then leaping into the wholly unknown to blame the Mossad. The Jooze did it. Who else?

Which brings us back to where we began at Al Quds (for those of you who read Arabic; hit the Google translate button if you don’t), which translates, roughly, to Jerusalem, or at least means the same thing. Although I prefer the phonetic Arabic version because these guys are always chewing their Quds.

Playing it for laughs at the dictators club

Israel’s UN ambassador could be pardoned for weeping at the way the dominant nondemocratic membership singles out his democratic country for abuse. Instead, Ron Proser chooses to mock the slimy bastards.

“…when Syrian Ambassador Bashar Jaafari claimed last year that his government was not responsible for the massacres taking place in his country, Prosor took him to task. ‘If lying was an Olympic event, I have no doubt that the Syrian regime and its representatives could easily win a gold medal,’ he told the General Assembly in August 2012.”

That year the dictators club’s 193 countries passed 22 resolutions condemning Israel, but only four against any other countries. Must be hard to smile while standing in such a stinking cesspool of lies and corruption, but Proser has found a way.

Yom Kippur, forty years ago: Lu Yehi

Whatever it is about decadal anniversaries, they seem to affect everyone. Hence today’s commemoration of Israel’s Yom Kippur War when the Syrians, etc. attacked a few hours after sundown and into the high holy day.

It was a near thing, especially in the Golan Heights, where the relic hulks of a few destroyed Syrian and Israeli tanks remain at strategic points on the landscape as permanent reminders.

Snoopy the Goon’s preferred reminder is Lu Yehi (May it be):  “…written by our late and much beloved Naomi Shemer 40 years ago, during the war, is part of our collective inheritance and is forever associated with that war.”

Go there and listen. Here are the lyrics in English.

 

ALL WE PRAY FOR
There is still a white sail on the horizon
Opposite a heavy black cloud
All that we ask for – may it be 

And if in the evening windows
The light of the holiday candles flickers
All that we seek – may it be

May it be, may it be – Please – may it be
All that we seek – may it be.

What is the sound that I hear
The cry of the shofar and the sound of drums
All that we ask for – may it be

If only there can be heard within all this
One prayer from my lips also
All that we seek – may it be

May it be…

Within a small, shaded neighborhood
Is a small house with a red roof
All that we ask for, may it be

This is the end of summer, the end of the path
Allow them to return safely here
All that we seek, may it be

May it be…

And if suddenly, rising from the darkness
Over our heads, the light of a star shines
All that we ask for, may it be

Then grant tranquility and also grant strength
To all those we love
All that we seek, may it be

May it be…

 

 

May you have an easy fast tonight and tomorrow as you think of these things.

Israel: Of popsicles and apartheid

A nice little tale from IsraellyCool of a friend’s Tel Aviv beach encounter with two Israeli Arab women in skimpy bikinis:

One of the city inspectors, patrolling the beaches, approached us and reminded us to drink water so that we do not get dehydrated.

I told him I had forgotten mine. My beautiful beach neighbours seem to have also forgotten theirs.

“I will get a popsicle as soon as the vendor gets here,” I answered.

“So will we,” answered one of the young ladies next to me.

“Ok, ” said the inspector, “I will send him your way.” And left.

A few minutes later, all three of us were left with ou[r] mouths open.

There, in front of us was the city inspector negotiating his way barefoot on the hot sand, coming towards us.

In his hands were three popsicles!

Welcome to an “Apartheid” state called Israel!

Has the illegal bombing started yet?

If so, it’s proof that so long as there’s a Democrat in the White House, the snooze media couldn’t care less if he’s also a dictator who doesn’t bother seeking advance approval for military adventurism from the UN or Congress.

Unlike W., the president who did seek advance approval and got called BusHitler for it anyway. But he was a Republican.

Not that the bombing or cruise missiling we’ve been told to expect to begin today is likely to have much effect, especially not after Barry leaked his plans in advance, apparently to make sure Iran didn’t hate on him and his other Jihadi pals had time to hunker down.

“There is no credible chance the U.S. can locate or destroy Syria’s entire holding [of chemical weapons] without a massive air campaign and [G-d forbid] some kind of presence on the ground. Even if the Assad regime has not done the obvious, and used the last few months to covertly disperse a large portion of its weapons, cruise missiles simply don’t have that kind of destructive power… the military impact will be marginal at best. Moreover, anyone who has actually seen wounds from conventional artillery — or badly treated body wounds from small arms — realizes that chemical weapons do not cause more horrible wounds.”

“Or as Nancy Pelosi might say, ‘We must bomb Syria to know what is in Syria.’ We are about to find out.”

Me, I’ll be happy if none of our pilots and assorted others, including Israelis, get hurt.

UPDATE:  Barry Rubin says Obongo & Co. are bluffing, simple as that.

MORE:  Indeed, five days later, we’re still waiting for Obozo to drop a shoe, let alone a bomb.

Obongo: our terrorist-loving prez

“Never did I imagine that the Americans would elect a president who would give open support to the Muslim Brotherhood, or that a Secretary of State would take as one of her closest advisers a woman whose family and background are connected closely to the highest levels of the Muslim Brotherhood organization,”  Howard Rotberg, on the Freedom Press blog.

Well, there is the amusing part that the close adviser turned out to be so dumb that she married a flasher. But not all of us voted for the black moron who sucks up to terrorists and we won’t vote for the Lizard Queen, either.

I’d just add that Mr. R.’s remark therein that Slick Willie disarmed American soldiers on their bases in 1993, setting up Fort Hood for a massacre, is pure BS. American soldiers have not, at least since the 1960s, carried arms on their bases except when in training or on guard duty. Nor were officers then allowed to carry personal firearms. I know the IDF does it, but that’s a holdover from 1973 when the invading Syrians caught them temporarily unarmed.
