Hezbollah's Al-Manar website recently boasted of capturing an eagle that carried an Israel-labeled transmission device on its back and claimed the bird was an Israeli spy. It said hunters in central Lebanon shot down the bird and found devices on it as well as a copper ring on its leg that reads "Israel" in English followed by letters that refer to Tel Aviv University. The fate of the eagle remains unclear.

Israeli ornithologist Yossi Leshem said Thursday he was tracking the bird for research and was "incredibly frustrated" it was harmed. Leshem, a Tel Aviv university professor, has specialized in the Bonelli's Eagle for decades and said they are in great peril with just nine pairs of mating age remaining in Israel.

Hez-Ebola has actually claimed the eagle was a Jewish spy. And I kid you not...

Can’t have them freeing any hostages, like they did to Gandalf. What would Sauron say?

The savages’ thinking shows the effects of their persistent inbreeding...in some of their villages, a first cousin is considered a distant relative...

Arabs as orcs: I’m not sure whether that’s accurate, or an insult to the orcs.

Orcs are mindless soldiers with superhuman strength and not a drop of pity in them. Arabs have minds and they are very smart, only they are practiced in deceit, treachery and terror. Orcs don’t seek out infants to murder, but if they’re hungry or they’re in the way, they’ll do it. Arabs, however, make a point of targeting infants, before they grow up and learn how to fight back.

On the other hand, there are instances in which Arabs have behaved decently and humanely, such as the Mukhtar of Hevron who in 1948 saved famous (in Israel) singer Yehuda Loichter’s grandmother from the angry mob with his spear and fiercest grimace, and then had her and her fellow survivors of the massacre in Gush Etzion delivered to safety back in what was then all that remained of the infant State of Israel (missing Gush Etzion, the Old City of Jerusalem, Chevron, and many other important parts). Orcs, conversely, have never shown magnanimity. The one Orc who stood up for Frodo’s two cousins was the commanding officer, and would have been held responsible if he had allowed them to be eaten.

I think PETA and ELF have sent representatives to Ghaza to preach their gospel of animal rights and conservation. No news about their whereabouts, although a few dismembered limbs have been found.
