Snapped Shot

You know, sometimes I feel remorseful for some things that I might say. Sometimes I even feel guilty for things I might think inside my right-winged nutjob brain.

And, because I am not of the Catholic persuasion, I have no one that I can turn to to relieve my grief. I, and people like me, have no one on this earth to seek guidance and forgiveness from.

But then, once in a lifetime, there comes along a person that changes the world. There comes a being so divine and so heavenly that people are drawn to his majestic aura. His presence in this world draws people to him. They seek his inspiration. They seek his guidance. They seek his assurance, forgiveness and judgment.

And, one way to know that this man is true is the way he provides for the sinful to contact him. Is it simple? Is it direct? Does it provide immediate relief?

Are you feeling depressed? Are you feeling like you have all the wrong answers? Do you feel like you have been spreading lies and misinformation?

Then you need to seek The ONE's forgiveness and guidance.

Just send a simple email to The ONE at "flag@whitehouse.gov". Confess your lies and your sins. Tell The ONE of your attempts to betray him. Be penitent on your knees while you tell the ONE of your attempts to deceive others around you with your gossip and hate. Tell him of the scandalous and nazi-like tactics you have incorporated to subdue the democracy of The ONE.

Come clean. For your country's sake. Do it for little Johnny.

Do it for yourself. I did.

The media unbiasedly reports the news... right?

Stop laughing.

Here is a tale of two alleged child killers. Your task is to discover - without a doubt - the religion of each accused murderer. The first:

(CNN) -- Police have arrested a Sunday-school teacher in the killing of California 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, authorities said early Saturday.

Well, that was in the very first sentence! A Sunday school teacher! A Christian!

Now, lets see if the religion of the second accused murderer is identified as quickly in this story:

Auschwitz Ale?

Some of Britain's school kids think Auschwitz is a type of beer rather than a Nazi death camp, according to a new study.

A survey of around 1,000 high school students aged 11 to 16 found 10 percent of youngsters were unsure of what it was and 2 percent thought it was a brand of beer.

Not surprising. How could they know what Auschwitz is when they've never been taught about it?

Is it Hamas? Is it the PLO? Is it the United States of America? Is it Russia as some Christian Bible prophecy believers believe it to be?

Or, is it the world's media? The world's media that leans liberal? Could it really be that Israel's greatest enemy over the last few decades is the world's mainstream media?

Take a look at this link that avid SnappedShot fan, BusyWolf, tipped us off to. The link has text and a video that was shown on international outlets. Let's start off with a look at the name of the link? Does that give you any clues as to the direction the story is going to go? gaza-israel-assault-medics-violence Now let's take a look at the text introducing the video from France television 24:

The conflict between Hamas, the Islamist Palestinian group that is in charge of the Gaza Strip, and Israel has provoked reaction worldwide.

Right there, from the very first sentence of the story, we can see the direction this story is going to go. France's 24 will start with the premise that Hamas, being basically just another Islamic group, is an official group that was duly and rightfully elected to be in charge of Gaza. And no one in the world should be challenging Hamas' authority to govern Gaza Strip. See anything wrong here?

France 24, it appears, is a state-run media outlet that is operated in partnership with France 2. As you may recall, it was France 2 that villified Israel in the made-up al-Dura affair. A Palestinian-media driven affair that tried to paint Israel as child killers, but was shown in court to be wholly faked by the Palestinian and their France 2 compatriots.

France 24, just over 2 years old now, provides Arabic, French and English programming, focusing on the French perspective, over the airwaves and on the internet across much of Europe and the mid-East. And we all know how much love France gives to Western-type democracies. Has France ever made statements in support of Israel or its actions? I know Sarkozy did during and following his campaign. I know there is also a strong pro-Israel contingent in France. But, as a whole, France's media and political machine despise Israel.

Let's analyze the France 24 text further (long post):

How far does Reuters go to show their support of terrorists?

Isn't it odd all of the calls for humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip?

I mean, are we not hearing almost hourly pleas that Israel stop its "fiery", "massive", "holocaust"-like, "disproportionate" attack upon the Hamas terrorist murdering organization? They justify these calls for Israel, and Israel alone, to stop their attack in order to get food, water and flour (???) to the "starving" Gazans.

But, lest we get sucked in to far to the media's anti-Israeli bias, let us remember a few things.

Recall the 3,000 some greenhouses that Israel left behind when it vacated the Gaza Strip? Recall that Hamas and the Palestinian people there destroyed nearly every one of them. When Israel left, what did the "civilians" do in return? They rioted for months and destroyed most everything that wasn't sand or tree.

A week after they descended like locusts on the greenhouses that Jewish settlers nurtured in Gaza, looters continue to pillage what should be a prize asset for a fledgling Palestinian state. And the Palestinian Authority, which took over Gaza after the Israelis evacuated the territory, appears powerless to stop them.

When a Daily News correspondent visited abandoned Jewish settlements in Gaza, he found brazen vandals dismantling farms that once produced some of the world's finest tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The now-gutted greenhouses were gifts to the Palestinian people from U.S. philanthropists, who raised $14 million to buy them from departing settlers.

"All over Gush Katif the greenhouses have been damaged and a lot was stolen from them," Karim said, referring to former Jewish settlements in southwest Gaza. In Gadid, much of the expensive equipment used to tend the crops was stolen. So were the water pumps, irrigation lines and all the fuse boxes.

At the former Katif settlement, a Palestinian soldier, Pvt. Mohamed Cidawi, said looters made off with most of the metal support beams and even stole the plastic and canvas coverings that protected the vegetables from the hot sun.

In the nearby Neveh Dekalim settlement, there were no soldiers to stop 29-year-old Samir Al-Najar and his eight-man crew from demolishing a half-acre greenhouse. Al-Najar insisted the land was his family's before Israel occupied it in 1967 and that he was reclaiming it.

They claim the land is theirs, and yet they treat the land this way? Meanwhile, those 3,000 (some say 4,000) greenhouses could have provided the food and jobs that the world is crying out for right now. Think about that next time you hear the whining and moaning about starving terrorists.

From another great post from the Elder of the Internet:

When thousands of Palestinian Arabs were killed during Black September in 1971, there were no crowds at Jordanian embassies. When hundreds of Palestinian Arab civlians were killed in a single day in Lebanon in1975, no one protested. When thousands of Palestinian Arab civilians were murdered by Syrian-backed militia in Lebanese camps in 1985-86 (including Sabra and Shatila!), there were no demonstrations. When hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs were expelled from Kuwait in a single week in 1991, there were no rallies. When Hamas and Fatah fought only two summers ago, killing hundreds in a month, the so-called "peace camp" was silent.

Only when Israel gets involved in a conflict do these "activists" come out of the woodwork. Ignoring the many conflicts around the world, their fake indignation is ignited at the thought of Israel defending itself. Muslims who barely go "tsk, tsk" when Arabs kill each other are driven to a frenzy when Israelis finally decide to act after years of provocation.

The current rallies aren't pro-Palestinian or even anti-war - they are purely anti-Israel, ...

The media is part of the problem when they refer to these demonstrations as being "pro-Palestinian." They don't give a damn about Palestinian Arabs, they never have and they never will.

Elder is right. You didn't see these people come out in protest the civilians being killed by Hamas or Hizballah, did you? Only when Israel started to make a PR, Pre-Obama, move to defend itself did these cockroaches come out of their hiding places. And of course, the media eagerly helps to propagate the shared message of hate.

Meanwhile, the press is still covering up for the terrorist murdering organizations, especially if it puts Israel in a worse light.

The leaflets reflected Israeli efforts to cast Hamas as the source of the conflict that has brought additional misery to Gaza's 1.4 million people, who live in poverty in the densely inhabited shard of land along the Mediterranean. Israel hopes the suffering will erode support for Hamas, which won 2006 elections and engineered a violent takeover of Gaza in June 2007, overrunning the forces of its Palestinian rival Fatah. [Ed: even saying that, it just doesn't matter to them]

For now, though, the fury of the Israeli onslaught has deepened bitterness toward Israel among trapped Gaza residents. ...

Israel launched the offensive on Dec. 27 after years of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, and has attributed many civilian casualties in the past two weeks to Hamas's alleged use of civilian areas as hiding places and staging grounds for attacks.

Need more proof that the Hamas murdering organisation uses its own people as human shields?

See here for video from Hamas members and Hamas TV themselves.

And click here for a high ranking member proudly boasting that Hamas favors death while admitting that Israel favors life, thus falling into Hamas' trap.

And the world still really has no clue how to formally create a binding peace agreement. They continue under the false ideology that when one side, being a nation state representing freedom and democracy might agree to peace, the other side must automatically agree as well. Even if that other side is a known a murdering terrorist organization that has committed countless and numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The only way Hamas will accept a cease fire is if they are just about to lose and they want to be able to resupply through smuggling or just by taking the UN relief supplies.

(Hat Tip to Daled Amos and One Jerusalem)

From a post over at LGF, citing the site IsraellyCool. I would link directly to IsraellyCool, but I could not find his posting of this evidence.

Here are the two images:

A Palestinian carries a child into the Shifa hospital in Gaza City...

A Palestinian father carries his wounded baby daughter into a hospital in Gaza City...


Beyond the obvious aspect that two separate men are carrying this child INTO this hospital in front of the throng of cameramen, I ask you to look at the child herself.

- The child is not crying.

- First photo actually has her dressed up. Second photo now has her naked. Isn't that against Islamic law or something for a strange man to see a naked girl?

- Second photo has her playing with her hands. She is also seen already wearing a surgical IV tube.

- Note all the extensive burns that have started to heal already. A baby with that extensive burns would be either crying her eyes out or unconscious.

- Is that child really wearing 4 layers of coats? Tan, over Orange, over Pink, over Green. Oh, second photo also shows a light blue shirt.

- For a baby to have such extensive burns on her abdomen and legs, but then not have them on her arms or hands and fingers?

Since when has facts mattered to the left of this world? Since when has truth mattered to those with a leftist or socialist agenda?

Case in point, Mr Perry Mason! errr.. I mean case in point Israel.

The world's leaders (i.e. mainstream media liberals) are up in arms that Israel launched a mortar shell that ended up killing about 30 Palestinians in an area around Gaza City. Those are the basic facts of the case. But, recall from your teacher from last class that context matters. Right?

But, there appears to be more facts to this case. And the media provides the information willingly. But, like a good liberal, it eagerly ignores those same facts. A good liberal media never lets facts get in the way of a good story (i.e. ideology).

Fact 1:

France and Egypt announced an initiative to stop the fighting in Gaza late Tuesday, hours after Israeli mortar shells exploded near a U.N. school sheltering hundreds of people displaced by the onslaught on Hamas militants.

Israel did not attack the U.N. school as you can read. Their mortar shell happened to land NEAR a U.N. school that was "sheltering" displaced people. Wait, how can they be displaced and still be in the same city? Or, are these people who fled other parts of Gaza TOWARDS Gaza City for some purpose?

Looks like Palestine is starting their New Year with a BANG!

But for the media, things continue as usual.

Today, as I sort through the images of Israel's strike on Hamas militants in Gaza, I notice the captions still demonize Israel, while subtly protecting the terrorists.

For example, the caption on this photograph leaves no question as to who is responsible for the bloodshed:

Palestinians stand over bodies removed from the sites of Israeli air strikes in Gaza City on December 27, 2008. At least 155 Palestinians were killed across the Gaza Strip today in massive Israeli air strikes on the Hamas-run enclave, Hamas radio reported. Israeli military spokesman Avi Benayahu told army radio the massive bombardment of Gaza was only just beginning.

But the caption with the picture of an innocent Israeli civilian killed by a terrorist rocket is much more vague:

A medic crouches over the body of an Israeli man after he was killed in a rocket attack launched from the Gaza Strip and hit the southern Israeli town of Netivot on December 27, 2008 following Israeli bombardment on the Palestinian costal strip. The rocket attack killed one man and wounded four others, according to the Magen David Adom, Israel's equivalent of the Red Cross. Israel blitzed Hamas targets in Gaza today with a wave of air strikes that killed at least 195 people in the besieged enclave in retaliation for ongoing rocket fire, officials said.

You know, I never went to journalism school, but I did attend college. A couple of times but that is another story. Anyway...... Looking at this story's title from the CR(ap) and one wonders if they are hiring editors off of the streets without any literary training whatsoever.

Cautious Black Friday shoppers flock to stores

Please tell me how cautious shoppers "flock". Do you think of wariness or cautiousness when you hear of flocking? Or do you think of mass numbers crammed together?

Then there is the sub-headline.
