More and more, IQ will be a selection gradient in the WoT.

superb!

LOL. Funny as hell - the place where Yassin presently resides.

LOL. But the photo caption should be in Arabic as well.

Excellent.

OT

The massacre of Western Workers in saudi arabia is still covered by the saudi censorship fog.
Now Fox says that the total number of deads is 22.

That is the best picture of Yassin I have ever seen. (Ha, ha. I made a rhyme.)

This gruesome picture is a wonderful addition to the linked websites. Nice work. I guess the IDF blew up a few more "religion of peace" "masterminds" today as they rode on a motorbike.

The news is only getting hairier everyday. But this put a nice smile on my face.

I hate those primitives. I didn't start out hating them. I don't want to hate them. I can't even see Arabic letters without getting pissed off. Yassin was a punk. Not a holy punk, just a punk.

Moderate Islam, now would be the time to pull your own weeds before we must move to the Round Up approach.

Amen!

Fitting. Nice to throw in a reality check for those who view murdered Israelis as some sort of religious porn.

Ha Ha! GREAT!

ah yes, the soccer ball photo -- as john mclaughlin would proclaim "by-byyye!!"

Now that's funny.

I can imagine the webmaster of one of those grotesque sites spewing out his coffee at he scolls down the page.

OT:

Nissan Ratzlav-Katz writes of Muslim savagery:

[Link: www.israelnationalnews.com...]

Nominal Bushies such as David Frum, Richard Perle, Cal Thomas, have all questioned the oil-patch slaves' Iraq policy. Why is the majority here afraid to do the same.

The relationship between GWB and his doormat followers is hardly unlike that between George-the-Third and the Loyalists. If you people want monarchy, then move to Saudi Arabia. Grow some fucking backbone.

Talmud: "One who is merciful to the cruel, will ultimately cause cruelty to the merciful."

Yes, the only improvement would be a caption in Arabic. Regards

The way these vile scum gloat over the misery of people who have lost innocent, unarmed loved ones to Arab/Muslim murderers is appalling and nauseating. In the meantime, the I.D.F. and Israeli government apologize publicly when they accidentally (not purposely, like these degenerates) kill civilians.

It still sickens me.

OT: Charm offensive against Muslim extremists

Tony Blair has stressed the need to keep the Muslim community on side as a leaked document revealed a project to "win the hearts and minds" of Islamic extremists and al Qaeda sympathisers...

Moderate Muslim preachers would receive state funding under the plan, while radical foreign imams would be asked to pledge allegiance to the British way of life or face a ban, the paper said, claiming to have seen over 100 pages of secret documents.

"The aim is to prevent terrorism by tackling its underlying causes...to diminish support for terrorists by influencing relevant social and economic issues," cabinet secretary Sir Andrew Turnbull was quoted as saying in a letter prior to a May 19 meeting to discuss "Contest".

The project is said to have been prompted by the March 11 attacks on Madrid commuter trains, killing 191 people, and the discovery of over half a ton of bomb-making material in a London warehouse two weeks later.

"Muslim-friendly workplaces" could be set up, along with moderate Muslim television and radio stations

I do not know the answer, but I fear that we cannot. And, I feel constrained to lay some of the blame at the feet of President Bush. His Pentagon hides away our honored dead at Dover air base, as though we should be ashamed of them. He does not call upon those of us who are too old to serve to make other sacrifices. He tries to avoid huring anybodys feelings by denying that this war is a clash of civilizations and cultures, not a border dispute. Indeed, I cannot name one thing Bush has done that seems intended to restore the martial virtues.

Sweet :)

And alwifaq.net gives a 404. That's nice too.

Just goes to prove that bandwidth theft is not just wrong but STOOOPID!

It does give hope to us all, since it is clear that the only competitive advantage that we have over unmitigated evil is intelligence.

I'm not sure what the deal is with "Islam is Peace". He/she may be a particularly blunt anti-idiotarian.

Jaffar, Spiney Norman,

He's either copying Camel Prophet's style exactly, including phraseology or it's him with a new nic.

And since CP rarely posted anything other than OT screeds in bold caps, I guess we'll have to wait for Charles to give us a confirmation.

The massacre of Western Workers in saudi arabia is still covered by the saudi censorship fog.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudi's themselves set this up so they could like a broken record say "look, the terrorists are after us too. After all we have done to help in the war on terror...we will continue to do more." (If this were not so tragic I would laugh)They want to pull the wool over the eyes of the world to show how they are as vulnerable as anyone to terror. Right, the Saudi's are one of the greatest incubators of terror on the planet. When I hear how much they have contributed I want to scream.

#14 islam is peace.
I sent that off to Charles earlier this morning. I hope he posts it. Everyone should read it. I have already sent it off to a couple hundred people as well as the media. That's what I call, good spam.

#14 I love it when you pretend to be tougher than we are (trying to pull a Moby?), then give the game away by choosing a name like "Islam is Peace."

Re #18:

Amid a sequence of photos of Israelis crying at funerals is a photo of Ahmed Yassin's corpse, with the following text printed on top of the picture:

"So may all of G-d's enemies perish.
Ahmed Yassin,
murderer who met his fitting end."

These are Arabic-language sites, and the text on the Yassin photo is pretty much the only English language text on the page.

#18

All six sites crash my browser. What am I missing ?

A bunch of arab sites created a pornographic slide show of Israeli families grieving at funerals. But rather than grabbing copies of the images and hosting them on their own servers, they embedded links to the originals. (This is known in the trade as "bandwidth theft" in that you are consuming the host's bandwidth without the advertising/context/etc that the person who is paying for the hosting site put up to accompany the image.) The picture that they linked to at Hatzolah Jerusalem has been replaced (by the Hatzolah Jerusalem webmasters) by a nasty close up of Ahmed Yassin's blown-up rotting face, with a caption "So may all of G-d's enemies perish. Ahmed Yassin, murderer who met his fitting end."

I agree -- the only thing that made this less than perfect was that the caption was not in arabic...

cathy :-)

To see all the American companies advertizing on the Egyptian site was infuriating. Sticking out like a sore thumb?

Yassin never looked better!

i nominate for palestinian child abuse...on egyfilm. picture of a little kid holding a habd grenade

It is amazing that these Muslims/Arabs could be so stupid as to allow Yassins image onto their web-sites.
On the other hand it is typical of their incompetence. They haven't produced anything of value in 1000 years and haven't been able to defeat a Western Army in the last 300 years.

Perhaps a good connection? sorry ; - )

Mockery of Israeli funerals, all victims at the hands of crazed sub-human terrorists.

Mockery of heart wrenching grief.

That's what I saw.

Truely genius at work! Israeli..that is. Maybe the arab idjits can have their own Getty Image in a later update. I would have left one final message: 'Allah Fubar!'

I cried when I saw those images. Will the web-site owners cry too when they see them? I don't know how anyone can gloat over images of grieving people. I can't believe it has come to this, gloating over dead Jews and people's pain. Compassion and tolerance, right...

Whoever did the hacking, good for you. And thank you.

damn, my coffee must've hit the italics tag in #28 when it spewed...

the alwifaq site is the best 'cause you get yassin at the top -- serious spew fest at hand.

I wonder how long it will take before they fix their code?

Too bad they didn't use the shot of Yassin's brains in the garbage bag!

This has happened before, so many times it's ridiculous.

Here's one:

"It happened when Sanballat and Tobiah, and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being healed, that the breaches had begun to be sealed, they grew extremely angry. So they all banded together to come and do battle in Jerusalem, and to bring ruin upon it. So we prayed to our G-d, and we set up a guard over, by day and by night." Nehemyah 4:1-3.

Hey, this was approximately 510 BCE. It's from the Tanach (Jewish bible). Guess what? With G-d's help, the Jews won. The Jews won.

Maybe these moronic webmasters learned their trade from the same source as Kerry's. Remember the free uncensored opportunity to mock the candidate on his own dime?

Yassin's brain in a bag.

"Hand me that spatula, Akhmed"

Thanks all.

#41 Nekama Johnson

I don't know if they have the technology to show an atom-sized photo...

OT, but while the RoP is mired in premordial slime Israel is credited with developing Instant Messaging.

Thinking about how the f*ing arabs were ululating and drooling with joy over the pictures of matyred Jews, and at the anguish caused, makes me despair of any chance that these pre-barbarians will ever join the human race.

8 Beagle

Moderate Islam, now would be the time to pull your own weeds before we must move to the Round Up approach.

The weeds have won.

Time for Agent Orange and Napalm.

IIRC, ICQ was developed by four Israeli boys barely out of their teens.

...four Israeli boys who named their product as a pun in English ("I seek you").

the pictures I'm getting from all of these sites are of grieving Israelis and a blow up bus...?

#49 cba,

[Link: www.israel21c.org...]

In 2002, Israeli citizens registered 1,046 patents in the U.S., or 174 per million residents. This figure puts Israel third in the world, behind only the US and Japan, in per capita figures.

And, I'm sure there wasn't a single buzzing prayer rug in the lot.

perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I'm surfing from Israel.

#52 PDM:
Yeah, but what's Israel done for the world recently? Surely it's not worthwhile for the west to piss off the rich and powerful Arab interests just to protect a bunch of Jews who shouldn't be there in the first place...

Avi, you should also see a pig picture of a dead Ahmed Yassin with the caption "So may all God's enemies perish. Ahmed Yessin, murderer who met his fitting end."

Good strike by Hatzola. I'm still trying to get around the fact that these Arab sites posted photos of grieving Jews as a celebration.

The enemy is subhuman.

In addition to being delighted that Israelis had invented the technology, I was awestruck by how young the inventors were.

Avi W (#51)--in addition to those photos, do you see a closeup of a very dead Yassin? If not, then maybe that site has finally smartened up a bit :(

Of the many reasons I miss evariste, not being able to access his Arabic-translation abilities at a time like this is a big one. I'd especially like to know what the comments say on the last site Charles lists.

Avi, the last site definitely still has the Yassin picture. Go there quickly before it disappears.

cba: Nope, the photos of a terminated Yassin are still there.

I think i just wet myself these scum bags are going to get shock

Who invented ICQ?

The four Israeli men were: Yair Goldfinger, Arik Vardi, Sefi Vigiser, and Amnon Amir (who, it turns out, is the brother of my husband's best friend).

they've changed the world in only a few years...gotta *hug* them for that.

I think i just wet myself

Thanks for sharing.

#54 cba,

Good point I suppose. And at least the buzzing prayer rugs will come in useful in HAMTRAMCK, Mich. :-P

I can't load any of them except shorog.com and I don't see a pictures of Yassin there. Oh well.

avi,

on shorog, you have to scroll to the very end of the sick slideshow.

if you go to alwifaq, the yassin photo is right on top.

only the first 3 sites listed are still up, the others have crashed or something.

Does anybody have copies of any of the sites in their *ahem* "altered" states? I know that there is some trick to getting them from your browser cache... Perhaps Charles can grab one of them and host it at LGF along with an explanation as sort of a memorial to the stupidity of evil.

cathy :-)

I wonder why that would be? Too much traffic, you reckon? ;-)

Avi W (#64),

The pic of yassin that Hatzolah Jerusalem has substituted for one of the original photos.

This pic now appears in their perverted slide show, instead of the original.

Why is the web design on these jihadi sites uniformly shitty? These damn monstrosities actually have the temerity to resize my browser window!

Love it! Screw the dimwits.

Oh, and all of the sites are working for me, and they all have the Yassin pic.

The other images seem to be from [Link: www.all4israel.org...] If anybody knows the folks over there, it might be nice to clue them in about what the jihadis are doing.

shorog managed to get the yassin photo off their site, but the others still have it.

all the other photos are from all4israel.org -- everyone should write to them and ask them to replace the photos with the getty image or rename them so the deep links fail -- quickly.

Charles,

Please put a notice up that those links are now crashing explorer.

I can still, on AOL, get them all. Just in case, is everyone scrolling on the left-hand side, rather than the right?

BTW, yassin's 'portrait' is still on all the sites.

He still looks dead.

I live for the day when there will be so many pictures of the terorists looking just like that, or worse, requiring enough bandwidth to bankrupt Saudi Arabia.

Nice redirect!

#34 NY Nana

To see all the American companies advertizing on the Egyptian site was infuriating. Sticking out like a sore thumb?

If you're talking about the EgyFilm site, those banners are not advertisements for US products, they are for boycotting US products.

The banner with the US and Israeli flags says:

"Don't give them your money so they can fight/kill you with it"
The banner with the product logos (nike, coke, KFC, heinz, etc) says:

"Boycott [alternating images of US products] ... If you are unable to purchase a bullet for the resistance, at least don't pay the cost of a bullet to the Jews"

#85 Hedge

It was not my first thought, either. However, on Hebrew sites, it is also the left side. (I can't read it, but a sabra friend sends me sites that are all humor, and thus self-explanatory, and since Hebrew is written from right to left, you scroll on the left. They even copied that from the Jews...

I wonder how long it will take them to figure out how to remove that bit of Israeli humor!

Let's see...they 'invented' homicide bombers, burkas, targetting, aiming and shooting at Israeli babies and pregnant mothers who are driving a car, block parties with the requisite sweets, rifles shot into the ait, ululating, and anything else that any posters might care to add to the list...I feel like puking right now, so hand it off to the rest of oyu, and perhaps we might get a more complete list to make a final compilation.

9/11 I don't want to get started on, but in their version of a mind that takes pride of place...so far.

#87 Photoblogger

Thank you so much for clearing that up. I wonder how many of the companies they are requesting a boycott are actually in the arab marketplace, though.

#88 NYNana

I've missed that one since most of the hebrew sites I read still scroll on the right.

They even copied that from the Jews...

you're sooo right...if they can't manage to figure out how to host their own images, have no clue their sites are duped, how could they possibly have the ingenuity to create the left scroll bar on their own?

#89 NY Nana

Most of them are.

#90 Hedge

And since we all know albore invented the internet, what is left for them?

OT, but worthwhile:

The Case Against Rachel Corrie St. Pancake

Maybe, just maybe, Rachel Corrie knowingly aided and abetted cold-blooded murderers.

Many of you will probably call me naive and roll over having belly-laughs. It took me long enough, right?

When Corrie died more than a year ago, it was no great stretch to suspect that she and others who converged on Israel's territories knowingly supported terrorists. There was certainly no proof and it was just as difficult to figure out any hard connection.

At the time, my chief objection to Corrie and her pals with the International Solidarity Movement was their interference with Israeli military activities. Most are foreigners who endanger lives by the simple act of stepping foot into the middle of a war zone. They put the lives of everyone - themselves, Israeli troops and the Arabs they purport to help - at risk in an already tense and volatile situation.

There have been political means at their disposal to address their concerns for the last few years, but they have not bothered to employ them.

The raid on Rafah brings new facts to light indicating that Corrie and other ISM members had to know they were aiding and abetting terrorists, if they were not participating in terrorism themselves.

The 23-year-old Corrie, who traveled more than 8,000 miles from Olympia, Washington, was run over by a bulldozer when she tried to block the vehicle from demolishing a house in Rafah - a house where she had been staying.

The Israeli military ruled that this was an accident and ISM members accused the driver of murder even before the military could investigate the incident.

It may pass the "reasonable person" test that these ISM'ers knew very well they were helping terrorists. What would a reasonable person conclude?

Consider: The Israeli government revealed that 90 weapons-smuggling tunnels were constructed between the Egyptian border and Rafah. At least some of these tunnels were known to end underneath the homes in Rafah.

With 90 tunnels running underneath Rafah, there must have been lots of suspicious activity. Corrie and her friends would have had to be blind not to notice.

First, there are the tunnel connections underneath the homes. ISM'ers who stayed with Gazan families might have seen the tunnels themselves, or they at least spotted people going back and forth from the basement of the home.

During deliveries, people would have been hauling the goods out of the homes. Maybe Corrie herself did some heavy lifting.

The weapons then had to be transported somehow. Vehicles appear to be the natural choice. They would have had to be driven to the tunnel entrances and the weapons would need to be loaded onto the trucks.

Would you wonder about this kind of activity if you were personally on the scene?

Wherever ISM members mingled and even lived among Gaza and West Bank Arabs, it is possible that many of these Arabs were terrorists or helped the terrorists by feeding and housing them. The ISM'ers could have been at gatherings where they were introduced to suspected terrorists, heard stories about violent activities or noticed otherwise suspicious activity.

Actually, there is not only evidence, but proof of ISM aiding and abetting terrorists. When terrorists seized a church in Bethlehem, a few ISM'ers smuggled food to them.

If you put it all together, a reasonable person must conclude that the ISM members knew they were aiding and abetting terrorists...

#88 NY Nana

...since Hebrew is written from right to left, you scroll on the left...

Somewhat OT, but to launch a religious war on a really important topic, the right-side scroller on left-to-right text (and the left-side scroller on right-to-left text) are totally stupid bad UI design.

This was a mistake that apple made in the original mac UI, and since microsoft is so stupid and unoriginal that they copy even the mistakes, it's in windoze, too. There are other windowing systems that have the scroll bar over next to the beginning of the page, and if you've ever used one you will realize that the other side is just wrong.

Probably the most widely used of the non-mac, non-windoze systems was the old NeXT system, which was written by ex-apple UI engineers. They had the opportunity to start with a clean slate and fix all of the mistakes that they had made with the mac UI, and putting the scroll on the other side was one of the first things that they did. What it does is make the scroll bar just never a problem. If something happens and the page ends up too wide for what you want, and it has a big blank space on the right, then you just shove the window over and ignore the off-screen blank stuff. Your scroller is over nestled against the text. None of this crap where you have to drag the window in one direction to get access to the resize button, and then resize, and then drag it back so that you can see the scroller and the text all at once. If a window is too wide, you can often just ignore it since there is nothing important over there. Unlike in a mac/windoze window where there is always something important over there -- the scroller.

(I can also blather on at great length as to why NeXTstep's vertical menus are so superior to the stupid motif-style that macs and windoze have. But one religious war at a time, please!)

cathy :-)

A quick comment: the photos were posted to the discussion forums at those web sites, so the site administrators may not be closely monitoring them.

On the four sites that I can access, the posts were signed with different names, but the subject line is similar:

"Photos to restore the spirit and satiate the thirst (for revenge)"

Could be one person spamming several sites.

The most favourable comments to the photos are on the qal3ah site, with posters thanking the original poster for the refreshing photos etc. (qal3ah = fortress, perhaps a play on words re qaida = base?)

#1 Twisterella, you got it.

the shorog site seems to have crashed my computer.

Any suggestions?

use Mozilla, Netscape7, or Opera. Disable Java and Javascript. Sometimes poorly-designed sites don't display properly, but you never have to worry about your browser crashing.

(I have a hard time understanding why anyone uses IE any more -- browsing the web with IE is about as safe as walking around in Gaza with an Israeli flag.)

When they gloat over grieving people, how do they continue to see themselves as victims? How can you show an enemy suffering like that, take glee at that pain, and then turn around and insist that you're the oppressed one?

No, try shutting down and restarting your box.

folks, you can help save lives. if you can spare some change, click the link below:

Hatzolah's success in saving lives is dependent on the dedication of hundreds of volunteers who respond to emergency calls around the clock under the most trying of human conditions. Our volunteers in turn rely on the quality and reliability of the medical equipment they have at their disposal. In order to perform at their optimum, each volunteer must be equipped with state of the art instruments necessary to save a victim's life in the harsh conditions that may arise during an emergency. The types of equipment needed can be divided into three broad categories: Transportation, Communications and Life-support.

The list which appears below are the minimum "tools of trade" and they need to be constantly updated and replenished to meet our growing needs. Please review this list thoughtfully and consider how you might wish to become active and real partners in the life-saving activities of Hatzolah Jerusalem. The dollar value attached to each item is the cost of purchase in Israel. Your contribution is tax deductible in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Holland, and Israel. A receipt will be sent via regular mail.

I want to help - I would like to donate

I turned the computer on and off. The problem is my screen won't stay on. I've got to turn it on and off to see the password screen. But the computer's not usable because after turning the screen on and off the screen just lights up for a second.

I tried to reboot in the safe mode by holding down f8, but it doesn't seem to work.

I am 90% certain that this was the fault of the jews.

The pics display perfectly in IE6. Too bad tho to see people who are supposed to be fighting the religion of death stooping to the same level as their opponents.

Sounds like a problem with your monitor. Check your cables first.

Then, do you know how to degauss it?

#115 daniel

You can't be serious ...

Thank you for the help. No. I don't know how to degauss it.

#118 shine

Is there a button on your monitor that looks like a lightning bolt or something like that?

No lightning bolt button. But the power cord has that cylinder on it which, I guess, is supposed to do the degaussing automatically.

Would a "degaussing problem" cause the monitor to go black after showing the screen for only about a second? I thought it would only create rainbows on the screen.

Is this caused by a build up of static electricity/ions? If so will keeping the monitor off for a while help.

Thanks.

Shine, Lots of high frequencies buzzing around in a monitor.

Works fine and then blacks out? Could it be over heated?

Do you have access to another monitor (preferably multi-sync) that you can swap it with to see where the problem lies? About the only way to know for sure.

Thank you. This is a great blog.

"Even if you blow up our Pentagon, we will operate our ICBMs with our NORAD."

Shine, Glad to help.

one small victory for lizardkind!

I wrote to all4israel and asked them to rename or redirect the funeral photos...and they responded back and have since taken down the funeral photos from their site.

woo hoo!

the only problem seems to be that the photos are somehow still on their server and showing up on these sites, which will probably be fixed on tuesday when their webperson returns.

Heh. "Heh" is normally copyrighted property of Glenn Reynolds, but I think here is a fitting place to use it.

Thanks for asking them to remove the funeral photos. Hatzola's website has enough gruesome images to click on without the dead kids' bodies bleeding through their white shrouds also being available.

How anyone can celebrate such disgusting inhumanity is incomprehensible.

I'm glad Hatzola's webmasters put up the Rantisi photo, but its presence wasn't enough to remedy the sickening feeling I got from looking at the jihadi sites.

But anyway, kol ha-kavod.

The rotters on the first link may have figured it out Charles. Yassin's happiest day pix isn't there.

It's almost 3:30 PM here on the East Coast and the images are STILL up.

These guys aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

So much for the 'armchair jihadis'.

It's about 6:20 PM in NY, and only 1 of the sires has taken it off...amjla.com. The other schmucks still have it up.

I have to wonder if alwifaq.net is a part of al-jazeera, as the logo looks identical. Perhaps Photoshop will drop by, and let us know.

Photoshop;

Thank you so much for the translation.

Thom,
Of course i'm serious. You don't win wars of ideas by stooping to the same level as your opponent. The moral high ground wins.

Always.

For the most part, you're right.

Then again, there are times you have to fight fire with fire-- especially if the opponents cannot be reasoned with in a civilized way.

Sad, but true.

Always.

I don't think we're in a "war of ideas." We may be in a war of ideologies, but looking back at previous such wars (like WWII) I think you're dead wrong. We didn't concern ourselves overmuch with whether or not we were terribly nice to the other side. And we won.

This is enough to make me vomit.

update on all4israel:

during the past few days' correspondence with their director, the problem should be solved today.

their webserver was out until yesterday, but today he will change the website so that people will not be able to right-click on the photos to get the URL. that will certainly eliminate a good part of the problem.

he also said that he may "revise" the linked photos to present a "message" to them (I sure hope its good!)

while I was on the Northeast Intelligence Network's website, it looks like they've discovered the jihadi sites linked to one of their photos as well -- and they did something very similar in response to the bandwidth theft (although not nearly as priceless as the yassin photo!)

Note to Abu Banan: Don't be a bandwidth thief!

I would characterize this as a war of "images" -- and the internet is a double-edged sword in that respect. who knew we would all be on the front lines???

Reminds me of when the US media posted pics of Uday and Qusay. Except this time, it's on the internet posted by forumers. Not a legitimate source.
