Snapped Shot

The wire services are afloat in pictures of the stereotypical Palestinian "youths" (i.e., what are in most cases 25-year-old men who look suspiciously like "militants"), hurling stones and other random objects at Israeli police forces.

As many times as this exact picture has been taken, it's amazing that someone at the editorial desk still thinks it's news.

AP-Friendly Roundup: youths, youths, youths, youths, youths, youths, youths, youths, youths, youths, youths.

As long as the Palestinian people continue to teach their children that scenes like this are normal:



Their offspring will continue to be the hate-filled monsters like this:



That grow up and become grownup monsters like this:



It's simple, really. If you think for one second that Israel is to blame for the lack of peace in the middle east, you are really out of touch with reality.

Quite a touching display, courtesy the "moderate" Fatah party.



Update: Wow... are my eyes deceiving me? It looks to me like the following photo is of an admitted Al-Aqsa weapon leaning against the wall—A U.S.-made M-16 rifle?! Apparently, arming terrorists is now a de-facto role of the United States State Department.



(And to think that I can distinctly recall hearing warnings about that particular weapons transfer.... But hey, we're not the only ones doing it, so whatever. If Israel's cool with Olmert leading them to national suicide, what the heck can I do about it?)

Update: Bob Owens doesn't think it's such a big deal, and I reckon I understand his approach—It just irritates me to no end whenever I see American weaponry in the hands of people who get their thrills out of the murder of innocents:

Brian,

M-16s have been around for 40 years, and we've been giving them or selling to friendly governments probably most of that time. I've seen U.S. weapons in terrorist hands before, and don't think it is that big of a deal, unless we are directly arming them now.

FYI: The scope appears to be an older generation 1 night vison scope.

It would appear that the "moderate" political/militant faction of Fatah is having something of a falling-out with the "radical" militant/militant Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. I'm not sure I'll ever figure out which side to root for here, so I'll hedge my bets:

Go bullets, Go!

Be sure to pay close attention to the loving care these militants show towards their unarmed populace. Especially if your first name happens to be Condoleeza.

Encouraging your children to play war games with a grown-up Army doesn't seem to me like it would be all that beneficial to their health.



And, what do you know, this little tyke looks awfully familiar to me:



Another case of watching 'em grow up and blow up? Could be.

Sadly, I suspect this little boy's life will be artificially shortened as a result of the pervasive brainwashing wrought on him by the Palestinian government and his parents—with the full permission of the spineless West, no less.

It's sad, really.

Check out below the fold for a couple more pictures of awesome parenting, if you want. And then ask yourself why there's no peace in the Middle East. Continue reading »

Whoever said that girls are discriminated against in Islam? They seem perfectly free to me. Case in point:



What a bunch of humanitarians these guys are, eh? Continue reading »

Update:

It would seem that, in less than 12 hours, the leader of this new offshoot of Al-Aqsa has been slain by the IDF, making this perhaps the shortest-lived terrorist group in the history of the Middle East.

It would appear that there is now a spinoff of Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigades, which is itself a spinoff of the supposedly-moderate Fatah organization. It would seem that these discontents, who form the new Abu Amar Martyr's Brigades (very original), are pushing to kill Jews faster than ever.

The press, of course, didn't miss the opportunity to show up and bask in the thugs' glory.



It's curious to note that the reason given by these thugs for their separation from Al-Aqsa is that, and I quote, "some Al Aqsa gunmen have earned a bad reputation for their involvement in vigilante actions, including extortion."

Terrorist thugs? Involved in extortion? Who woulda thunk it?

In any case, I've got more background of terrorist press conferences, if you're not familiar with the topic. Otherwise, see the extended version of this article for more basking. Continue reading »
