Snapped Shot

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that this soldier would not approve of his image being used in this rather propagandistic pose, yet somehow, I'm sure that wasn't even remotely considered by the editorial desk at Reuters. They are, after all, too busy breathlessly transmitting the official propaganda of the terrorist thugocracy to care about piddly little things like people's reputations.



Seriously, Reuters, make up your minds—Are you still interested in being a news agency? Or can we finally drop the charade and move your corporate headquarters to Damascus?

Update: Okay, now this is funny. Thanks to blogagog for the laugh!

Dunno about you, but I don't plan on being the one to tell these folks that Israel didn't have anything to do with the execution of Saddam Hussein. Well, unless you consider fanciful conspiracy theories to be real, that is.



I sure hope they remembered to bring the bean dip. More festivities beyond the fold. Continue reading »

I'm not seeing much activity on the wires in terms of anti-Annapolis protests today. I'd say this is related to it, though: At the funeral for the man that was killed in the West Bank protests yesterday, "clashes" broke out between Fatah goons security forces and Hamas goons mourners.

Of course, I'll keep you posted if anything does manage to show up today.

The man behind the camera lens is not always your friend, as these Israeli settlers know all too well.

It seems that there's always a reason to celebrate -er, make that "protest"- over in the "Palestinian" terror-tories. Today marks the 40th year since the Israeli victory over the Arab forces which surrounded her, intent on her utter destruction. Much like any other event, though, one need not look for any hints of reality in the collection of terror-supporters and useful idiots who showed up to "commemorate" this "great tragedy."

I'll be tracking as many of the pictures of today's "festivities" that I can. The most amusing event that I've seen is when the local Palestinians savages turned on the leftist protesters useful idiots who came to defend them support terrorism, which you can read in full glory over at Carl's place. I'm eagerly awaiting photographs from that little dust-up, but have a sneaking suspicion that the wires will "accidentally" self-censor it.

So until then, we'll just have to enjoy what we've got. May God continue to bless Israel, and may Israel continue to bless God!

From the looks of the wires, it seems that the Palestinian Territories celebrated "Prisoner Day" over the past few days, organizing protests demanding the release of their "relatives," who are currently jailed in Israel for the mere crime of plotting for the death of the Jews and the destruction of the evil, Zionist, Apartheeeeeeid Israeli state.

To a "progressive" and wholly sympathetic press, this obviously doesn't arise to the horror of detention.

Perhaps I'm too much of a Neanderthal to understand the "nuance."

No doubt, his dreams are full of sugar plum faries, candy canes, and DEAD JEWS.

If you see photographs like this in your local newspaper this weekend, be sure to check out the companion story, which explains the background that I guarantee you will not be told with the pictures--as the story told in print is totally different than the story told by the photographs and captions sent across about it!

From the AP's story: BEIT HANOUN, Gaza Strip--Israeli forces fired Friday at a group of women who streamed to a Gaza mosque to serve as human shields for gunmen holed up there, killing one and wounding 10, Palestinian officials and witnesses said.

The dead woman was one of several hundred who heeded a call by Hamas militants to ring the mosque in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. Their presence allowed the gunmen inside to escape, ending their 19-hour standoff with soldiers parked outside in tanks and armored personnel carriers, the army and militants said.

There are very few innocents in the Palestinian territories. The citizenry there is completely intertwined with the terrorist mafia that controls the entire region. Sadly, instead of trying to report truthfully (although full credit is due to the Associated Press for actually reporting the above story, and my sincerest gratitude is owed to Yakub Ralwah for filing the report), the press is more often interested in wholly simplistic re-tellings of the story of David and Goliath, with the "Zionist" state inevitably playing the role of Goliath. Whether this is due to the Press' gullibilty, or whether the press is complicit in enabling and protecting the terrorist regime that's ruling the Palestinian serfs, remains to be seen.

In related news, it appears that police elsewhere in the West Bank have clashed with "armed members of a local family," who proceeded to light the entire force's vehicle fleet on fire. Anyone who denies that the Palestinian territory is controlled by murderous thugs is either intentionally lying, or is completely blind to reality.

I'm going to round up photographs of these events in the extended article, so as usual, be sure to continue reading to see the completely one-sided photographic report filed on the wires. (Also reported at Sweetness & Light, Yoni the Blogger, and LGF)

Update: It appears that the militants in question have either hosted, or had someone else host in their place, a glorious press conference. Also, the Sun has chimed in.

Update again: Someone at the AFP likes terrorists so much that they described this event as "a daring rescue by heavily veiled women." Yup, you read that right. The daring rescue of armed murderers from the evil Zionist army! The AFP should be ashamed for letting such a grotesque caption come across its wires! Continue reading »

It would appear that Hamas and Fatah are currently fighting over who will hold all of the reins in the Palestinian Territories. Much like competing mafia groups, neither is anything remotely "democratic," so whomever ends up in control of the PLC is most likely slated to be replaced by the next mob.

This is just more proof of the obvious—Israel has nothing to do with the "destitution" of the Palestinian people. Their situation is one entirely of their own making, and will quickly be improved, once they stop supporting the crooks who do stuff like you see in this photograph.

Don't expect this little newsflash to be picked up by the myopic press any time soon, though. For the first time ever, I'm sure they're actually stretching to come up with a reason to blame Israel for this mess.

Stay tuned - I'll be collecting all of the photographs here as the day progresses.

Wire Coverage: Associated Press, Reuters, NYT/IHT, USA Today

My absolute favorite article on this story is from marxist.com. Wait until you find out who THEY think the villain is! (More importantly, how is "marxist.com" considered a credible source to put on Yahoo! News? If they make the cut, shouldn't Snapped Shot?)

Update 13:48 EST: Disturbingly Yellow has a rather humorous take on these events.

It's that time of year again. Ramadan is upon us, which means it's time for the press to pull out all the stops in their propaganda offensive against Israel the Zionist Oppressors. In light of that, we are treated to new scenes of a "market" in Hebron which is being "patrolled" by the IDF the dastardly, child-murdering Zionist military forces.

Don't expect to see any balance here. These pictures are all about making Israel looking bad, and inflaming the passions of the Arab street. Nothing less, nothing more.

After all, there is nothing more important than fanning the flames of Arab RAGE, right...?

What, you expected a news agency to report the news? They can't be bothered with that. They're too busy inventing it! Continue reading »

Ah, it's so refreshing when one sees a series of photographs distinctly framed with the intent of inflaming anger. Take this series of photographs, for instance. Ordinarily, you can find our press far behind enemy lines, offering aid and comfort to the enemy. In this series, however, we see our able fauxtographers carefully positioned with the Israelis. Their intent? Well, how about I just let the photographs speak for themselves.

This morning, we're treated to reports of yet another "Zionist massacre," this time in Bethlehem. As is usual, it was quickly followed by a media-driven, openly wailing funeral.

The one question that nobody in the press sees fit to ask?

"Why was this boy hanging around with armed terrorists?"

No surprise, as usual. Will the press ever question its role as shameless propagandists for terrorist groups?

The latest general strike in the Palestinian territories has allowed us to see some of the most entertaining activities ever.

Burning tires: Check.

Rocks: Check.

Jumping: Check.

What more could a boy ask for?
