He calls his outfit “Islamic Jihad,” and yet he planned a suicide attack. Can we get Honest Ibe Hooper or Brave Ahmed Rehab on this case? Can they please explain to Buchari how he is misunderstanding the Religion of Peaceâ„¢? “Islamic Jihad operative arrested in Israel,” from the JTA, December 8 (thanks to James): JERUSALEM […]
Misunderstander of Islam stabs Israeli guard at checkpoint
The jihad apologists will say that this is because they have checkpoints. No, this is why they have checkpoints. (Thanks to all who sent this in, especially Josh, who gave me the headline above.)
Fitzgerald: Things looking up for Israel in Europe, if only the Israelis can hold on
Until the 1967 war, many in Western Europe saw Israel — correctly — as a tiny and besieged state, surrounded by enemies who wished to destroy it. In this respect, they were helped along by the fact that the leader of those who would after the Six-Day War be carefully renamed as the “Palestinians,” were […]
“Palestinians” to ask UN to recognize “state”
The objective here is not so much to get a state, although certainly a Palestinian state would serve as a useful base for their continuing jihad against Israel. (It would also be an international welfare state existing off jizya from the West.) The objective is to gain another resolution from the OIC-dominated UN that would […]
Ah, that explains it: OIC initiated the Goldstone Report
The egregiously pro-jihad and anti-Israel Goldstone Report turns out to have been initiated by the Organization of the Islamic Conference — which explains why it was egregiously pro-jihad and anti-Israel. The OIC, don’t forget, is the chief foe of the freedom of speech around the world today, and is making a concerted effort to criminalize […]

Muslim protester assaults Tony Blair inside Palestinian mosque
“You know, he made his protest and that’s fair enough,” said Blair. “I think it’s important for you guys as well to not always mistake the protest for the general view of the whole population.” Of course. The vast, vast majority dearly want peace, eh? “Protester assails Blair in Palestinian mosque,” from Reuters, October 20 […]
National Security Advisor commits to “Palestinian state” with “no preconditions”
Give up terrorism? Renounce Sharia? Cut out the rocket attacks? End the suicide bombings? Stop the genocidal rhetoric? Nope. They don’t have to do a single thing. No preconditions. Let’s establish that terror base state now! “National Security Advisor Reiterates US Commitment to Peace, Palestinian State at ATFP Gala,” from the American Task Force for […]

Tension remains high between Jews and Muslims at a disputed Jerusalem holy […]
Fatah official: Palestinian “extremism” is “pure fiction”
This story is useful for one reason: its demonstration of how uselessly relative descriptions of “moderate” and “extremist” Islamic groups can be. Just as few people will stand up and say “Yes, I’m a terrible driver,” few people will volunteer that “Yes, I really take my ideology beyond the pale.” One reason is that there […]
Israel set to swap 20 Palestinian prisoners for video of Gilad Shalit

Cantoni): Tel Aviv, 30 Sept. (AKI) – Israel is set to receive fresh video footage of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit proving he […]
Israel removes roadblocks for Palestinians, Palestinians shoot Israeli
“This attack is a direct result of the removal of roadblocks.” The Israelis removed 100 roadblocks a couple of weeks ago “to make life easier for Palestinians” and, apparently, to please George Mitchell and Barack Obama. “Israeli shot in West Bank,” by Efrat Weiss for Ynet, September 29 (thanks to Pamela): An Israeli citizen suffered […]
Fitzgerald: Fayad The Front Man, Or, Nobody Here But Us Accountants
Salam Fayad, with his suit and his tie and his reputation for being an apolitical “technocrat,” and with his American experience, is useful for the “Palestinian” Arabs as they downplay their never-ending ferocity. They do this purely for Western audiences of those whose goodwill they need, that is, those whom they most need to inveigle […]

Israel Incites Snake Attacks?
This post should be in the early September archives, but slithered by in transition. Lord Voldemort back from the dead? Dr. Dolittle run amok? Apparently Zionists speak Parseltongue in addition to programming squirrels, pigeons, rats, and wild boars, though the latest critter may have a “real life” mechanical counterpart. You can’t make this stuff up […]
