JENIN, West Bank

444 GOT BETTER...

"It's just a flesh wound, I'm really feeling much better now!"

[kezekiel]

Any chance this will make NPR or the evening news?

Geraldo, on Hannity & Colmes last night, said that the "only good news" in the West Bank yesterday was that Israel had "finally" pulled out of Hebron. Well, I guess "fair and balanced" means you have a Geraldo around among all their sensible, just-the-facts reporters and their conservative commentators.

[Catspaw]

Hasan Abdel Rahman, the PLO spokesmouth in DC (the one who was evicted from his office & can't find another one) claimed that there were at least 800 killed in Jenin a couple weeks ago--but this morning (on one of the cable channels) he said that it wasn't the number who were killed, but the way in which they were killed, so the Israelis were guilty of war crimes (translation: I got caught lying about the number, so I'll just change the nature of my accusations). I damn near kicked in the TV screen.

The Jewish "elite" are the only Jews who ever get heard in this country except on places like FR.For "elitists"they seem to lack any common sense which would tell them that their lockstep liberal mindset makes them look like jerks and ingrates to the very system which allowed them the freedom to get where they are.

And the press lets them! You aren't the only one who wants to kick in a t.v. set.

..... The team, which was to have arrived in Jenin on Saturday, remained in Geneva .....

..... where the Swiss money laundering industry's drug-trafficer, gangster-politician and FRankensteinian Bureacracy-accomodating hotels are much more splendid.

As befits the wants of those who live their lives squandering the confiscated wealth of the World's Most Creative, Innovative, Productive, Industrious -- and all-around Most Splendid Men.

The confiscated wealth of Americans, that is!

Everyone knows that the Palestinians lie. But Israel wouldn't allow a UN team in? And there has been a recent "deal" hasn't there? Anyway, I don't know the truth about this particular incident, and I don't care either. We should put sanctions on Israel until the Mossad infiltration, Marc Riches, suspected presidential wiretaps, etc. go away.

Translation: Not only am I stupid, I am proud of it! Oh yeah, I am also ignorant and proud! Oh, I forgot... I hate the Jews, always have, always will! Sure, the Palis were caught in yet another lie, I see it's useless to deny it. But I will invent NEW and BETTER lies and then use them to cloak my hatred of the JEWS!!! Could you hold on? David Duke is calling me.

Israel believes it has the right to insult the rest of world. Arabs are old-school tribalists, and they would rather kill themselves than be insulted.

In that case, "I fart in their general direction! Their mother wears army boots, and they stink like goats! Hmm... I take that back, they don't stink like goats, they stink like the French!" So, now that they have been thouroughly insulted, when can we expect the hostilities to end due to spontaneous mass suicides across the region?

Israelis and Arabs have a lot more in common than you would believe. Both sides also have a lot of influence on the United States. Which they should not. Sanctions until the US is repaid every penny of foreign aid it has ever given to Israel.

Translation: I am only trying to PROVE to you that I really am stupid and ignorant! I only wish daddy woulda taught me to read instead of taking that belt to me day after day... then I would know that the US gives EQUAL aid to both Israel and Egypt as part of the 1979 peace treaty that Sadat signed with Israel. And I would also know that the US has been giving hundreds of millions of dollars to the PA, and then I would demand that that money be given back too. Could you hold on again, please??? Louis Farrakhan is calling me... oh, I am all tingly, it is such an honor!!! Did you know next month we are all going to on a European cruise??? We get a Synagogue burning stop in France, a Jew beating stop in Germany, and then as a finale we get to throw rocks with the Palestinians and shoot mortars with the Hizbullah! Sorry, I have to go, I can't keep Mr. F waiting, he gets upset and then neuters people.

Well, here it is.

No massacre.

I wonder what the doubters will say?

[hellinahandcart]

Why, oh why, did I not bet MONEY? ;-)

[mondonico]

they [Arabs] don't stink like goats, they stink like the French

LOL

Increasingly, they ARE the French.

[El Gato]

that's practically a victory for them.

And you can believe that is exactly how they will spin it, internally, to their own troops and people. One has to ask how many Israelies were captured, verses how many terrorists are now in Israeli custody.

[Poohbah]

Part of me wishes Israel would perform a REAL massacre somewhere in Gaza, just to demonstrate the proper meaning of the term and to "calibrate" the human rights whackos' definitions.

[besieged]

I vote for the "recalibration" to begin at the UN. Specifically at the UN Human Rights Commission.

[TomB]

Has Alex conceded yet?

Can't wait to hear how Jethro wiggles out of this one.

[hellinahandcart]

Has Alex conceded yet?

Oh heck, I can wait a few more weeks until it's "official"-official. They might even find a few more bodies as they clear the building debris. I only lose if they find *42* more.

[Political Junkie Too]

The claims of "massacre" served its purpose. The media was no longer talking about the "Passover Massacre."

Yesterday's story of a Palestinian child killed by an Israeli missile was similarly intended to stop the media from talking about the Palestinians who masqueraded as Israeli soldiers and then killed Israeli children over the weekend.

He insisted that Israel had tried but failed, thanks to the heavy fighting, to destroy the entire warren of homes in the camp that had housed 11,000 people.

This could be the most incredible sentence I've ever read in a news report. Let me see if I've got this straight: the homes in Jenin were SAVED because of all the violence?

It's a good thing peace didn't break out sooner. The whole place might have gone up in flames. < / sarcasm>
