Don’t you wish you could be a Palestinian refugee too?

What a gig. You produce nothing. You get lots of sympathy and lots of cash from the Israel-haters of the world. Meanwhile, it’s off to the beach. Just try to watch out for your Hamas rulers, eh? They have no sense of humor.

Free Gilad Shalit

Gilad Shalit

Time for Obamalot to extract a real concession from Hamas before expecting Israel to do real business with the Palis. Like, at the least, letting the Red Cross visit the kidnapped soldier Gilad, the way it does duly-convicted and imprisoned Palestinian criminals.

Asymmetric warfare

The “peace activists” on that Turkish ship clearly got what they deserved, i.e. gunfire, as shown in this IDF video from Jerusalem blogger Richard Landes. But Roger L. Simon also has a point in his PJTV interview with Landes: Why wasn’t the IDF better prepared for violent resistance when they boarded the Mavi Marmara to search its bound-for-Gaza cargo? Meanwhile, I agree with Landes that it’s time for Israel to recognize that Turkey is not its friend and to join the West in condemning Turkish complicity in the Armenian genocide. Long overdue.

UPDATE:  Sensible words from Israel’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman MK Tzachi HaNegbi (Kadima):  “After Operation Cast Lead, the government decided to impose a maritime blockade on Gaza [in accordance with international law governing parties in a state of armed conflict – ed.], and that all cargo headed for Gaza would be checked first in the Ashdod port…

“This issue is a matter of total consensus in Israel, and the reason is the sense of injustice that we all feel, the cynicism and hypocrisy that typify the attack on the State of Israel, and the sense we all have that the IDF’s operation yesterday was logical and ethical.

“We left Gaza five years ago, yet for years we have been attacked from Gaza, and our soldier Gilad Shalit is still being held in a dark dungeon in Gaza. We therefore feel that we have the right to act in the way we did.”

Goose-stepping Wookies

Those Iranians and their Gazan acolytes are really a hoot. You just don’t know fear until you’ve seen the Iranian wookie suits on parade. Apparently they think these hula-skirts-gone-beserk will be good camouflage when their day of military reckoning comes.

Forgetting all those airborne IR sensors cutting through to the heat of the matter. The Gazan string version is even more pathetic. It’s hard to take these people seriously, even under the best of circumstance. I’d say there’s a better than even chance they will turn their new nukes onto themselves.

Ethnic cleansing in Gaza?

So says Pastor Wright, Barry’s longtime, forsworn minister of the gospel (so to speak):

"Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity…"

Quick, Barry, shove Jeremiah back into his box before people start remembering where you come from.

Peace? With a people who celebrate mass murder?

The fraudulent "peace process" imposed on Israel with the Palestinian Arabs will no doubt continue under Obamalot. It was disgusting enough to watch Condi Rice play the discredited game. As always, it has zero chance of success. Simply because the Palestinians are not interested in much of anything but mass murder. The names may change, but the old game remains the same.

Let my suicide bombers go

One day after the IDF withdraws from Gaza, the Hamas smuggling tunnels are back in business. And B. Hussein Obama, he of the fortuitous middle name, wants those Gaza border gates to Israel thrown wide open. In exchange for which he says smuggling of rockets and other arms will cease (how, exactly, he doesn’t say), but Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier kidnapped by Hamas in 2006 apparently isn’t part of the "deal." No Hopenchange here, unless you’re a suicide bomber.
