Snapped Shot

When stealing mindless memes from leftist groups, it's always wise to check your spelling:

Israel is a racits and terrorist entity.

Thousands of people marked the 60th anniversary of "Nakba" or "catastrophe", commemorating when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled or fled from their homes in the war that led to the founding of Israel in 1948.

I understand the mistake, of course. When one's rushing to parrot a leftist catchphrase in the latest Rageapalooza, little things like spelling do tend to fall to the wayside.

There are plenty of somber Nakba commemorations going on today, but you'll have to wait for tomorrow, the day of Islamic prayer and worship (and coordinated rage) to see the truly massive protests. I'll be watching the wires as usual, and hope to post links—Don't worry, Priti—to the best pictures of the day when they come across. [Ed.:—Today's officially the anniversary, it would seem. Not sure how that'll affect tomorrow. If past performance is any indication, there'll still be plenty of hilarity left for the wires, but we'll see...]

Exit Question: Did you know that Liberation of Palestine is a scared duty?

It was news to me, too!

Update: Glamour Shots: Palestine?

Update: Celebrate diversity.

Sigh. Are shameless photo-ops like this really necessary? Do they tell us anything newsworthy that we didn't already know—other than the fact that Syria has been completely ignoring the Golan Heights until it found that the territory could be used to weaken Israel? Was it really appropriate to put the girl next to such an emotional construct as barbed-wire, which could as easily have been placed by the Syrians as by the Israelis?



It's almost as if Reuters wants to be the official propagandists for the Syrian dictatorial regime. Continue reading »

It's that time of year again, and the celebrations have begun! If you're not familiar with it, "Al Quds Day" is a day set aside by the Ayatollah Khameni and the Islamic Revolutionary government in Iran as a day for Muslims to march against "Western" "oppression". Never they mind the oppression brought upon them by their leaders, of course. The stability of their dictatorships depends on them directing their peons' anger externally, does it not?

Notice that Al Quds Day falls on the last Friday of Ramadan, a day in which all Muslims are encouraged to go to their mosques for prayer. It is in these mosques that the "Islamic public" is so easily whipped into a rage by their radical imams. So, in effect, this is the largest canned protest of the year.

Be sure to check back here all day, I'll be doing my best to keep up with the fun and games!

And here are last year's celebrations, so you know what to expect.

Update: This year's theme, parroted by every single group of brainwashed demonstrators, is "DOWN WITH ISRAEL."

If only International A.N.S.W.E.R. had as loyal a following as Tehran does, huh?

It would appear that Bashar al-Assad, the darling of Nancy Pelosi, has graciously allowed himself to be re-elected to another 7-year term of dictatorship running the DNC's foreign policy. Here's to another 7 years of silly pictures of chinless ophthalmologists.

For the record, winning "97 percent" of the vote by cowing the populace via brutal violence does not make one the "elected leader" of anything, much less a nation worthy of being called "free."

Unless you happen to be a "favoured" member of the Socialist elite, in which case your praises will be sung by such widely diverse thinkers as "Red" Nancy Pelosi, Michael "Flabmeister" Moore, and Hugo "Killed the TV Star" Chavez.



The local population of public employees (hint to you DNC members: Public employees are employed by Assad) made an effort to celebrate the occasion. While it couldn't possibly live up to Cuba's half-century of practice at these faux-genuine celebrations, I'll be rounding up the pics below, so you can see the wonders of freedom for yourself.

This really doesn't require any explanation, does it?



My question is: Who's dumber? Him for flaunting "western world resolve" (represented by the ever-flauntable UnTIEd Nations), or us for continuing to put up with the dictatorial terrorist regime in Syria?

Update 12:24 EST: Alright, I couldn't resist. Today's going to be a "twofer."



I kinda like the "wispy" look on Ahmad-whatever's face.
