This’ll learn ’em, by gosh and by golly. Imagine the outrage.
Islam, after all, is supposed to be the culmination of the human urge to find god in nature, not be merely a new flavor of it fit only to be surreptitiously adorned by the symbols of one of the oldest.
Heh.

I never have cared for American hip hop, but I love this Hebrew remix of “Prahim ba kane,” a victory song from Israel’s 1967 war in which they took back the Western Wall (right).
The song was first recorded by an IDF army band but it’s bested by the Zionist rapper Subliminal and his group, including sultry pop singer Sivan Behnam.
The refrain in English goes: “The sun will shine red in Gaza and Rapiakh/ The moon will shine white over the peak of Mount Hermon/ Flowers in the gun barrels and young girls in the watchtowers/ Soldiers will return in great number to the city.”
And the rest of the lyrics. Very hard to sing along in English, though.

An iconic photograph of World War II, a Jewish boy and other children and their mothers and fathers threatened by the heroic Nazis, subject of a new book: As the prologue says, it is “a picture worth one thousand words and six million names.”

The El Al security system is far less intrusive than the TSA one (there is no groin grope or X-Ray machine), and it works just fine.
Because, unlike the feds, El Al is not concerned with political correctness, only safety.
Michael Totten, who gets profiled every time he flies through Tel Aviv, explains how Israel does it:
By eschewing the “Security Theater” approach, which is to always fight the last “war,” i.e. remove your shoes, bring no shampoo, let them grope your underwear, etc.
Despite that Al Q never strikes the same way twice, the Feds always do.
(I’m hoping to experience the Israeli Way when I fly to Tel Aviv in the spring.)
Meanwhile, Thomas Sowell sees more of Obamalot’s disdain for America here:
“If anything good comes out of the airport ‘security’ outrages, it may be in opening the eyes of more people to the utter contempt that this administration has for the American people.”
Still more from Instapundit, who thinks the flying public’s anger over TSA’s groin grope is far from over.
Because, for one thing, Obamalot is considering exempting Muslim women.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, the federal bigs are breezing right on through. No scan or grope for them. And no surprise, either.

That Tom Friedman of the NYTimes, what a card. Or as Snoopy-the-Goon says, it takes a village to raise an idiot.

Spanish journalist Pilar Rahola, on accepting the ADL’s Daniel Pearl Award:
“I accuse journalists and intellectuals of remaining silent before the barbaric oppression of millions of women, condemned to live under medieval laws which amputate them as human beings. No demonstrations, no Obama declaration, no boycott, nothing. These victims interest nobody, perhaps because Israelis or Americans cannot be blamed for their misfortune. And only anti-Americanism and anti-Israelism mobilizes their selective ire.
“I accuse journalists and intellectuals of remaining silent before the permanent slaughter of hundreds of Muslims, victims of Islamic bombs, whose plight interests nobody because one cannot put the blame on Jews nor on Americans.
“I accuse journalists and intellectuals of criminalizing Israel to the point of delirium, and of helping to create a mentality that is understanding with Palestinian terrorism.”
Millions of oppressed women. Ignored.
