The Palestinian Pass

Call it the Palestinian Pass: the lack of accountability and low expectations expected of Palestinians—the behavior easily ignored or quickly forgiven—when compared with the high standards of moral perfection demanded of Israelis.”

Divesting Presbyterians, we’re talking about you. Not that you’re anti-Semites, oh no. You just have on blinders when it comes to Ramallah and Gaza.

Consciously or unconsciously, you employ the Palestinian Pass.

Israel: Defender of the West

“Obama, Kerry and the rest of the flaccid moral narcissists who govern our country or the creepy disingenuous bureaucrats who represent ‘the international community’ obviously don’t have the gumption to do it – or even the inclination…[to fight] a rapidly metastasizing global phenomenon, replete with beheadings and crucifixions, that is unlikely to end and may only be at its beginning unless someone puts a genuine stop to it.”

So far only the Israelis are working on it, starting with the bloodthirsty religious fanatics of Hamas, but probably soon also to be engaged with the even more vicious and fanatical ISIS, when the latter finishes converting or killing the few remaining Iraqi Christians.

UPDATE:  The defenders are taking casualties, as defenders tend to do. As the IDF, in the words of the Times of Israel, “pours infantry into Gaza.”

Now that’s an insult

Muslim cleric to Netanyahu: “We will give the skulls of your midgets as gifts for our children’s feet to play with.”

Such charming people, these Mussies. (I had no idea Israel had any midgets.)

FYI, don’t miss Nahul, the giant bee, of Hamas TV who teaches kids to shoot Jooz. Do the Presbyterians know about this?

Hurray for Pallywood

I’m still waiting for Flat Fatima to make her appearance, though as long as the bloodthirsty religious fanatics of Gaza have real dead children to photograph they won’t need to bring out cardboard Fatima, Rage Boy, and fake wounded in ripped clothes.

But they’ll do it if they have to. Got to keep up the “wretched Palestinian” narrative for the credulous Presbyterians, United Methodists and assorted academic Leftists with short memories. They have lots of throw-down dolls to scatter amongst the wreckage for the Western photogs to snap for instant tragedy.

I worked with an American photographer years ago (before I became a recovering journalist) who kept a throw-down doll in his trunk for natural disasters and fires when no other presented itself. His was scuffed and had a missing foot. Pallywood frequently forgets and uses new ones. But his real specialty was seating survivors under age 10 in the wreckage and speaking mournfully to them until they cried. Nothing like a real tear glistening on a smooth, pre-adolescent cheek. Once the acne comes in it’s not so effective.

Pallywood also will manufacture such opportunities when they fail to present themselves. Back during the Lebanon deal an al Reuters fellow-traveler working in the darkroom tried to make Beirut look more devastated by doubling and tripling the smoke plumes. He didn’t bother to edit them; they were obviously exactly the same and so he got caught.

If the Palestinians put even a quarter of the effort they put into this poop doing things entrepreneurial, they might all be rich instead of depending on UN and Presbyterian charity and being led by crooks like Abbas and Hamas who steal the charity to live high while their “constituents” scrape by, too wrapped up in their hatred of Jooz to rebel or to get the hell out.

Gaza: Rat’s nest or Singapore

Look at all that ocean-front property. Look at that border with the Middle East’s most vibrant economy. The economic prospects are intriguing.

Instead? A rat’s nest of sniper positions, tunnels and knock-off rocket launchers run by bloodthirsty religious fanatics who scarf up the charity they depend on because they produce nothing anyone wants to buy.

Gaza could be a Singapore. Instead, it’s a basket case with 40 percent unemployment. And whose fault is that? Not theirs, oh no. Never theirs.

Guess whose? The Jooz.

Boeing’s Bird of Prey

Amazing what can be done with computer-control and composites, such as this flying prototype fighter-bomber supposedly adapted from Star Trek’s Klingon “bird of prey.” It reportedly flew 40 times in the late 1990s as a demonstrator and now is on display at the USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio.

The United States of SWAT

The Democrats may be cutting the defense budget and downsizing the official military but the militarization of the rest of our big, growing and greedy federal government continues.

“Dozens of federal agencies now have Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams to further an expanding definition of their missions. It’s not controversial that the Secret Service and the Bureau of Prisons have them. But what about the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? All of these have their own SWAT units and are part of a worrying trend towards the militarization of federal agencies — not to mention local police forces.”

Get in their way at your own risk. Officer Friendly is a child’s fable. They are not armed to the teeth to help you.
