No flying pig?

Pig's on deck

Is it a genuine change of direction, or an attempt to preempt criticism?

I'm not exactly holding my breath on that first option.

Can't see the flying pig for all the snow at the moment. Must have done a quick flyby, though.

I've also heard a rumor that Amnesty International is going to criticize the German National Socialists for murdering and torturing their opposition as well.

I think its more of a CYA move so they can get back to hitting Israel. In the future, they can point to this report showing how "fair" they are.

But there does seem to be a trend lately among these groups to notice reality.

I'm skeptical. Hard to change spots. This could be a bone tossed to realists to distract them.

Hamas' check to them must have bounced this month

Well, raise my rent.

Amnesty International has consistently been one of the most radical anti-Israel NGOs,

Over the last 30 years, the very term "NGO" has come to mean "anti-Israel organization staffed by left-wingers who are unemployable anywhere else but in a useless nonprofit."

The pig is hiding. He's smart enough to know there is a large pork bill in Congress waiting to get cashed.

re: #9 Shug

Hamas' check to them must have bounced this month

Or they are angling for more stimulus.

They still love FATAH.

Otherwise:

Valentines Day More Dangerous Than AIDS, Ebola And Cholera.

Hamas overplayed its hand. Provoking the Israeli invasion, hiding among civilians, in schools and Hospitals. Stealing humanitarian aid and torturing and killing Palestinians after the withdrawal. They've pretty much guaranteed a victory for Israeli hawks and thier continued rocket fire will almost certainly lead to another Israeli incursion.

Is it a genuine change of direction, or an attempt to preempt criticism? Amnesty International has consistently been one of the most radical anti-Israel NGOs, so it’s a little too early to call out the flying pig. But there does seem to be a trend lately among these groups to notice reality.

I believe it's a ploy. Amnesty International is a despicable organization.

They no longer have Bush to look at and blame for everything that happens, and they can't blame Obama, that wouldn't be PC. So they have to start looking around at something else and...ooh look what we found!

Keep the hangar door locked.

If AI continues to do this ... THEN let the pig out.

The bar is so low...

The reason Amnesty made this report is that the victims are still other Palestinians. It's OK to criticize anyone who kills a saintly victim group, even if the killers are other members of the same group.

It's possible that many of the "mainstream" lefty orgs may finally be realizing that spewing one-sided, anti-Israel views has actually caused more harm to their precious Pals (pun intended), because it has given the Hamas thugs a free hand to murder their opposition and destroy free speech. Maybe.

Having a left wing President may also explain it; now that all the ills of the world can't be blamed on a right-wing American president, they feel like they can actually report some facts, knowing that it won't harm their election hopes and dreams.

I'm just thinking out loud here...it may just be a flying pig moment after all!

Do they care? They still have 'world opinion' on their side. I have little faith in Kadima over the long term. The main reason for the incursion into Gaza was the looming Israeli election. By acting in response to Palestinian rocket attacks they were able to split the vote between Kadima and Likud.

This does not seem to be a major shift in policy for AI, if you ask me. They are criticizing Palestinians for killing other Palestinians.

I've been following the live-blog on israellyCool.

It's still just exit polls so far. No actual results. So hold on to your hat.

And even so, Kadima still has only a minority of actual seats, so they'll have to form a coalition or "unity" government in concert with Likud and/or other right-wing parties. So, basically, it'll probably be a muddled, centrist government, whoever is actually Prime Minister.

Hamas thugs went through the hospitals killing people they suspected of being collaborators. They figured they could get away with it because who would stop them?

The only ones who can impose justice on these thugs aren't Palestinians or other Arabs, but the Israelis.

It's news to them that HAMAS does anything bad.

re: #112 brookly red

Only 15 months? Did I read that right?

Or 5 years, depending on what he is charged with.

AP actually has a pretty good summary of the Israeli election results:

Exit polls forecast that Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's Kadima Party would eke out a surprising victory in Israel's election Tuesday, but a strong showing by hard-line rivals will make it difficult for her to form a coalition government.

The exit polls announced on Israeli TV stations gave the centrist Kadima a narrow edge over Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-line Likud Party. The results, if confirmed, marked a stunning turn of events for Netanyahu, who had held a solid lead in opinion polls until just before the parliamentary election.

Cheers erupted at Kadima's election night headquarters as the exit polls were announced. In contrast, the mood at Likud's headquarters in Tel Aviv was dour.

If the exit poll predictions hold up — and they sometimes do not in a close election — it's not clear if Livni will be able to form Israel's next government and become prime minister. The projections said hard-line parties won 66 seats in the 120-member parliament, while liberal parties captured just 54 seats.

Such a result would mean that Livni would have to reach out to the hard-liners to bring them into a government, or even result in Likud leading the next government.

Well at least ths is the one bright spot in the news today, compared to the Porkoulus bill.

And that means such groups can't rely solely on the rabid, drooling Left for funding anymore, especially now that the Left has shot it's wad getting their President elected. Coupled with a general decline in contributions thanks to the tanking economy, AI and other such groups are suddenly faced with the necessity of raising funds from a more diverse spectrum of contributors, which means keeping the spittle-spewing toned down.

If the Israelis left and found somewhere else to live, within a decade, evidence would be found that Mohammed had tied his sandal there, or had brushed his teeth there, making that site the 827th most holy site in Islam, and territory stolen by the Jooos.

Obama Debuts Annoying Catchphrase

WASHINGTON—In an unexpected turn of events that even his most ardent supporters are calling extremely ill-advised, President Obama, known for his simple yet stirring slogan "Yes we can," debuted a new, extremely annoying catchphrase Monday during an address on proposed economic policy reform, saying, "It is time for America to move forward, not backward—and in conclusion, hot diggity ding dang!"

Except for that small fact that she hates Israel and Israelis.

They embarrass her in front of her Hollywood friends.

But wiki has this to say about her "politics" (if you can call them that):

"In 2007, [Bar] Refaeli became a source of controversy when it became known that she had evaded military service, mandatory for Israeli citizens over 18-years-old, by marrying a family acquaintance and divorcing him soon after.[19] Refaeli stated in an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth, "I really wanted to serve in the IDF, but I don't regret not enlisting, because it paid off big-time," further adding, "Why is it good to die for our country? What, isn't it better to live in New York City?"[19] Refaeli has since said the interview didn't accurately reflect her statements and threatened to file a lawsuit for libel.[20] Consequently, the Israeli Forum for the Promotion of Equal Share in the Burden threatened to boycott the fashion chain Fox if they hired Refaeli, but the two sides reached a compromise in which the model agreed to visit injured IDF soldiers on visits to Israel and encourage enlistment in the army."

Basically, she sounds like your typical airhead model, who doesn't know jack-doodle about politics, and is narcissistic.

Of course, looking like that, it'd be hard not to be narcissistic.

Hey...anybody know the difference between Kobe and Wagyu beef?

Well, for one thing, "Wagyu" refers to the method by which the cow is raised, which supposedly makes the meat better. Whereas "Kobe beef" has to be raised in that manner and actually come from a certain place in Japan. Most "Kobe beef" in America is actually American, from Colorado I think, so technically it can be called "Wagyu beef" but not "Kobe beef."

Apparently "Wagyu" refers to the breed of cattle, not to the method in which it was raised. Some Wagyus are bred in Japan, according to certain standards that allow them to be called Kobe beef. Others are bred outside of Japan using Kobe-style methods, and technically they're merely "Kobe style" beef. I believe real Kobe beef is rare in America.
