Muslim toddler executes her doll

Posted on August 25, 2014 | Comments Off on Muslim toddler executes her doll

Who says ISIL’s YouTube beheading of a captive American shocked the world? Some folks in the Muslim world seem to have been so inspired, they’re teaching their children just exactly how it goes. Starting with their dolls.

The anti-Semites of the Dictator’s Club

Posted on August 22, 2014 | 2 comments

It starts at the top of the “democracy of tyrants,” aka the United Nations, where the Security Council now wants to erase 65 years and force Israel to negotiate peace based on the 1949 armistice lines.

This comes after Secretary-General Ban Ki moon decided to investigate Israeli “war crimes” in Gaza while noticeably ignoring Gaza’s rocketeers’ crimes and a host of other, more likely (even obvious) culprits:

“There is virtually nothing else that the United Nations seems to do.  No war-crimes investigations in Syria (110,000 191,000 murdered, some by poison gas and chemicals) or in Iraq, where Christians are getting crucified by ISIL and Al Qaeda thugs and cutthroats, even as other Christians are being exiled from their homes of a thousand years on pain of death.

“No war-crimes peeks around eastern Ukraine to figure out who murdered the passengers aboard a simple civilian airliner and then would not even allow Dutch officials to access the corpses of the slaughtered.  Rather, another farcical search for blood in matzah, four months since last Pesach and eight months before the next.”

That last is a reference to the medieval “blood libel” of the anti-Semites, who periodically (and increasingly, lately) charge that children are being purposely slain by the bloodthirsty Jews. The matzah part is there, it just isn’t reported.

The Security Council’s and Ban Ki Ludicrous’s concern is obvious. And it ain’t got nothing to do with the Arabs of Gaza,  Judea or Samaria. Is it any wonder the UN has lost the respect of most fair-minded people?

UPDATE:  The “progressive” British newspaper The Independent calls Israel a “child-murdering community.” Of Hamas’ use of children as human shields, of course, they say nothing.

Defeating the public schools…

Posted on August 13, 2014 | 2 comments

…one uneaten packet of French Dressing at a time.

Just what nine and 10-year-old boys bored with the nanny-state b.s. (which the girls are pretending to soak up, of course) could use.

And, hey, the school provided the packets. Is that cool, or what?

Forget the expensive journalism degree. Just follow the diagram. (Works for Tea Partiers and Republicans, too. Whatever the issue; they get the outrage.)

Queen of Benghazi: newly neoconservative

Posted on August 12, 2014 | 4 comments

“The political opportunist always lacks the courage of his, or her, convictions. That’s not necessarily because there aren’t any convictions. It’s because the convictions are always subordinated to the needs of ambition and ingratiation.”

She’s watching the polls (always), backing Bibi (for now), lamenting the jihadi takeover of Iraq (for now), and talking tough on the Russians and Iran (for now), all in obvious prep for her run for the White House in 2016.

And if she wins? Then we’ll see the duplicitous lizard emerge from behind the mask, slithering tongue and all, saying: “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

Via WSJ.

BTW, the White House’s latest opportunist, who is a master of deceit, says her criticism of his Syrian policy is “horsesh*t” —a substance the Classy One is a lot more familiar with than most.

Those “civilian” death totals

Posted on August 1, 2014 | 2 comments

The Obamalamadingdong administration and the Democrat news media in general solemnly intone the figure of the day-week-month, now over 1,000 and  counting and usually adds that 75 percent or more are Palestinian civilians. How do they know they’re civilians? Hamas tells them so.

The IDF, by contrast, only says it knows that “hundreds” of them are Hamas soldiers.

“How does the [NY]Times keep such an accurate count of Palestinian deaths? A footnote discloses ‘Palestinian death tallies are provided by the Palestinian Health Ministry and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.’

“OK. So who runs the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza? Hamas does. As for the U.N., it gets its data mainly from two Palestinian agitprop NGOs, one of which, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, offers the remarkably precise statistic that, as of July 27, exactly 82% of deaths in Gaza have been civilians. Curiously, during the 2008-09 Gaza war, the center also reported an 82% civilian casualty rate.”

Leave it to CAMERA to vet these suspect figures. CAMERA, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting (good luck with that), analyzed the ages and genders of fatalities reported by the Palestinians in Gaza during the Israeli military operation from July 7 through July 26.

Their findings: the largest portion were young males between 17 and 30 years old...”and a particularly noticeable spike occurs between males ages 21 to 27, a pattern consistent with the age distribution typically found among combatants and military conscripts… adult female fatalities were less than 10% of total fatalities for a group that comprises a quarter of the total population.”

Remember that the next time you see a talking head pull a face and intone the latest Hamas-provided figures.

UPDATE:  Reminds me of the old Nightline’s intoning: “Day [a number], America Held Hostage” which brought down the Carter administration. This time it encourages Hamas’ use of human shields.

Burying the “women and children” meme

Posted on July 24, 2014 | Comments Off on Burying the “women and children” meme

Can we finally rid ourselves of this hypocritical phrase that only still works in patriarchal Muslim societies that oppress women and dote on their diminishingly few children.

Hamas uses it as a propaganda tool, while sending out children in bomb vests to kill Israeli soldiers and employing women as snipers. And the leftist news media happily buys it.

Women, certainly Western women, are long past the fragile flower stage. They no longer need special protection and certainly don’t deserve to be first in any lifeboat. Children under 13, of course, need special care, although Hamas, and other jihadi groups start recruiting them as soon as they can walk and talk.
