My question exactly. Apparently this isn't a war, just a defensive reaction.

"Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia" was there.

Duh. I guess my brain hasn't come to life yet. Coffee! Bring me more coffee!

Notice the banner with Palestinian flag colors and a picture of a baby—and no Israel.

I might have misread you Charles, but that banner is in the shape of Israel superimposed with the Pali flag. It looks like a banner of conquest to me.

Saruman looks like a quad amputee in a burlap sack. Maybe it's just me.

Why aren't they dead yet? Things that make you go hmmm.

Those are some awfully rotund starved, oppressed Palestinians.

When I see "flags" like that, I get into "not one inch" mode.

This reminds me of a quote from P.J. O'Rourke's latest article in The Atlantic Monthly, in which he describes the decorating style of Saddam's palaces (I'm quoting from memory, may not be entirely accurate):

Senators Back Officer Accused of Abusing Iraqi Detainee

WASHINGTON — A Republican senator said Wednesday that a U.S. lieutenant colonel accused of mistreating an Iraqi detainee probably was more worthy of commendation than punishment.

Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma said Lt. Col. Allen B. West (search) was trying to protect his soldiers.

"I think the message if we were to end up punishing someone for doing what it took to protect the soldiers entrusted to his command, it would be the wrong signal," Inhofe said at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing with top Army officials.

I was watching Fox yesterday and apparently more than one person in the room was drying tears as LTC West was giving his testimony. Especially the "through hell with a gas can" part.

I personally think the b@st@rd is dead and they had his head stuffed for photo ops...

OT, but Russia ID'd As an Iran Atomic Supplier:

Hug a Jew
Hug Wendy Pearlman

By Reima Malik and Jawad Ali

Wendy Pearlman is our new candidate for the Hug-a-Jew award. Wendy is a beautiful young Jewish American woman from the Midwest who has taken time from her busy life as a PhD student at Harvard to write a very important book about the Middle East. Her book is called Occupied Voices, and it allows ordinary Palestinians under Israeli occupation to tell their own stories.

We met up with Wendy at the Modern Times Bookstore in San Francisco, where she was reading from the book and signing autographs like the rock star that she is. We at MWU! often joke that Hug-a-Jew is performing art as much as it is a magazine article. Wendy’s readings and monologues at the book tour are pure art. She makes a compelling case that hearing the stories of ordinary Palestinians is one of the key steps in understanding and solving the Middle East conflict. Then she proceeds to tell a few spellbinding stores of hope, desperation and pain. We highly recommend the book. We also urge you to look out for Wendy Pearlman speaking at a bookstore near you.

MWU!: How is the book tour coming along?

Wendy: It’s been a very interesting and rewarding experience. It is really an amazing opportunity to meet people and to talk about issues I care about. What has been most gratifying is to find people who feel like the book resonates with their own lives. For example, I usually read from one of the interviews in which a Palestinian woman recalls the good relations her family had with their Jewish neighbors before 1948. When I read that excerpt at a signing in Los Angeles, a Palestinian man in the audience raised his hand and said that he had a similar story: he was born in Jerusalem before 1948 and had been delivered by a Jewish doctor. Sitting a few feet away from him at the bookstore was another Palestinian man who said that he too had been delivered by a Jewish doctor. There are so many stories, I wish I could record them all.

---

---

MWU!: Are you reaching a new audience, one that is unfamiliar with the Middle East?

Wendy: That is definitely one of my goals. Today at Modern Times it was a bit of preaching to the choir. But that is not always the case. At each signing I speak for about a half hour and then open the floor to questions. It can get pretty heated. Once a group of pro-Israel supporters launched a protest to convince Borders to cancel my reading. They said that I was a terrorist-sympathizer and that the talk would be an “affront to the Jewish community.” Borders told them that they have a policy of not censoring writers on the basis of political content, and invited the protestors to attend the talk and express their views. They did, and we had an intense hour and a half of questions and comments – and criticisms!

MWU!: And what were their objections? Does the hostility make you nervous?

Wendy: It did at first, but now I’m getting used to it. I try not to focus on the hostility of the individual person, but rather on misperceptions that I might be able to address. There are some comments that I hear over and over. Often people say, “But Israel wanted peace and it was the Arabs who declared war in 1948.” I try to contest that inaccurate view of history, explaining how the partition agreement looked to Palestinians, and talking about how the fighting began much before Israel declared statehood. Or people say, “Let the Palestinians go to Jordan or some other Arab country.” And I’ll say that this is the crux of the problem: the failure to recognize that Palestinians have an attachment to their homeland that is real and legitimate. And so many people ask questions about Palestinian textbooks teaching hate. I try to say that Palestinian children today have experienced Israel bombing their towns. They sit at checkpoints, they have been prevented from going to school. They all know someone who has been killed or injured. These kids don’t need textbooks to teach them to be angry at Israel. Israeli policies themselves take care of that!

MWU!: Would you like to do a sequel on lives of ordinary people in Israel?

Wendy: Yes, I really would. There needs to be more space for both Israelis and Palestinians to see each other as human beings -- as people with whom they can relate.

MWU!: What is next for you?

Wendy: Now I go back to school and begin writing a dissertation prospectus.

MWU!: But your book has all the elements of excellent political science. Why not
develop it into a dissertation?

Wendy: No, it would never fly. This is a book of human stories. My aim was to give Americans some window into the human dimension of the Palestinian experience, to help them empathize with what Palestinians have suffered and the need for a just solution that will at last give them their freedom and right to self-determination. But this is a bit removed from what I do at school. Political science as a discipline puts more emphasis on statistics and game theory than on the experiences of ordinary people. My dissertation will have to be something that uses more theory and scientific methodology.

MWU!: Will the book be coming out in Israel?

Wendy: That would be a dream-come-true for me. We’re doing all we can to get it in bookstores there. But we don’t have an overseas distributor, so as of yet the book is only barely available outside the U.S. I would love to see the book come out in Hebrew. Few Israelis ever go into Palestinian towns and refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza. They don’t know what life is really like there. The book tries to capture something of that for people who haven’t had the chance to see it with their own lives.

MWU!: Do you plan to go back?

Wendy: Absolutely. I just hope I don’t have problems getting back in!

MWU!: How did you get started with Palestine?

Wendy: I saw you come in late to the talk. You missed the first part of the presentation didn’t you? I spent a college semester abroad in Morocco, where I started studying Arabic. I kept on with Arabic and Middle East studies, and I wanted to see more of the Middle East. In January, 2000 I took advantage of the chance to go on one of those free a trips to Israel. After I finished the 10-day tour of Israel, I went to the West Bank to study at Birzeit University. What I saw in the Occupied Territories made a huge impact on me. Since then, not a day has gone by in which I haven’t in some way thought or read or written or talked about Palestine. All the internationals I know who’ve spent time in Palestine feel the same way. Being there has changed us. So I feel an obligation, a moral obligation, to do what I can to contribute to ending the occupation. I don’t know if what I do makes any sort of difference, but I couldn’t sleep at night if I didn’t feel like I was trying.

MWU!: Is there something particular about your Jewish heritage that makes you
want to stand up to injustice?

Wendy: To be honest with you, I have to say I’m a little uncomfortable with this Hug-a-Jew business! Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to be hugged. But I see myself as a human being doing what she feels is the right thing to do...

Hey, just because a dude prefers corndogs to tacos -- if you know what I mean -- doesn't automatically make him an expert on interior design. By repeating this stereotype, you perpetuate the exclusion and invisibility of homosexual slobs like myself, and I demand that you STOP VICTIMIZING MEEE!

Ahem. While we're on the subject of Ending Hegemonic Discourse Structures, there was a funny item on Volokh Conspiracy yesterday about a memo from a Los Angeles County government office objecting to the words "Master/Slave" that appeared on the label of a computer peripheral device.

Wendy is a lying sack of crap: read her words below.

[Link: www.mediareviewnet.com...]

As Sharon's current war on Palestinian cities and refugee camps attests,
any Palestinian can be made a martyr because Israeli
violence does not discriminate.  In the course of the latest offensive,
the Israeli army has killed children and old ladies; it has
shot medics and journalists; it has bulldozed houses with whole families
still inside.  The Palestinian Red Crescent estimates that
125 people have been killed since the start of this onslaught on March
29th.  They are all mourned as martyrs, but not one was a
suicide bomber.

In fact, the current Intifada began with all martyrs and no suicide
bombers.  The first suicide bomber of the current Intifada was
actually its 126th martyr: it was only after Israeli soldiers and settlers
killed 125 Palestinians in the first four weeks of
October 2000 that a young Palestinian strapped himself with dynamite and
rode his bicycle into an Israeli army post in the Gaza
Strip.  He blew himself up and lightly wounded an Israeli soldier.

She is studying government at school. Do they still have
open challenges to PHD theses? Might be great if a few LGFers, particularly Israelis, fisked her into the ground at her PHD presentation and defense.

So far, this is what I know is being bandied about my real scholars, e.g., Alex Grobman:

THIS IS WHAT THE RABBI SENT TO WENDY AFTER HE SAW MUSLIM WAKE UP.

I read all about you in Muslim Wake Up. I suggest that if you continue to
write and speak as you do then it is important for you to become educated
on the subject. In your interview, my dear, most of what you said on the
history of the Palestinian-Jewish problem is without historical basis and
not fact. You can be the darling of the Palestinians and the Muslims, that
is your choice; but, you can't go about citing "facts" which are contrary
to fact and truth and without historic foundation. I have a doctorate in
history and have published on this particular subject and I will match my
knowledge based upon study and your hypotheses based on wishful thinking
and Grimms tales.

And ...

I just spoke to a key figure at the Jewish Standard who acknowledged that the article on Wendy Pearlman, without providing some background about her, was a mistake. The article came in very late, was written by an ORTHODOX reporter, and the editors picked up on the error only after it went out. They did not expect something like this from an ORTHODOX woman. We know that being Orthodox does confer anyone with more insight into this conflict, but it is interesting that they assumed it did.

For the skeptics out there who will question this response, I can tell you the person I spoke to has always been straightforward and honest with me.

I was asked to write an op-ed in response, which I hope to. We agreed that if you run an article about someone like Wendy, you need to put it in perpsective.

I will keep posting as I receive news.

I understand the amazement and anger at having such a man censured.

The fact of the matter is, he should be supported by the military for what he did - but he wont be because the military must run partially according to how civillians would have it run. End of story.

Do you remember Somalia? The general incharge there didnt send in heavy support (which he could have had) in the form of air strikes, etc, until it was too late, because he was affraid that the escalation would cost him his job.

Support your men first, dont worry about your career. Just support your men. Thats what your job is as a colonel.

Er, what kind of food is Hanan Ashrawi?

That's inedible. You should know better than that.

These people mean to have NO ISRAEL. Thats the truth and I think our fellow citizens in the US are getting the message now. The trouble is that three are people in the West called Arabists that mean to have no Israel as well and are helping the Pals. These are powerful, effective people. They are acting in opposition to the American Street.

If you point out you know they are hoping for an "oopsie..ie Nuke or Chem. or Biol. aimed and sent to Israel" beforehand..it will be harder for them to accomplish.

IF they have to do it quickly with an "oopsie" ..then follow it with --"what a shame, we didn't know it was going to happen" they WILL. The other and simultaneous campaign going on is to get rid of Israel slowly but shurely..ie one plan after the other to include more and more of Israel in the Pal side and/or discredit Jews around the world so as support for Israel wanes.

This is just whats going on...It will be going on AFTER a Pal State that WE pay for is established. They will even be MORE effective then.

Hanan Ashrawi is in the second row, second from left.

We old UNIX weenies call them "angle brackets."

Your mention of UNIX, and that "Master/Slave" email that Volokh reported, brings to mind that old hoax-turned-urban-legend about Jesux, the "Christian OS" that expunged spiritually offensive terms like abort and daemon, and replaced sendmail ("written by a prominent homosexual") with a different mail utility.

You dont see Hanan on CNN too much anymore..least in the US. WHY is that? Cause one day, Hanan dropped the ACT and enouraged her fellow "Christians" to not support those people that trashed her Lord. She appealed to Christian "Solidarity"..and G-d knows how many letters they must have recieved in oppostiion to her little "slip".. I know cause I was watching that day..and sent an email in.

Thats what is really in there for HER above and beyond supporting the Islamic State of Palistine..Plain ole discusting KKKand Nazi type of..antisememtism ie plain old Jew Hate.

I can't read the comments all the way through right now because I need to go to the post office, but this seems like a good place to mention that I've been banned, sort of, from Amptoons. Check out his cartoon on the "road map to peace." (Hitting the Page Down key about six times should do it, at least at this posting.)

I left a sarcastic note of thanks in an unrelated thread (yeah, I know, bad netiquette) for his unqualified support of the "Paleo-stinians." He emailed me to let me know that if I continued using such language, I wouldn't be welcome to post on his blog. I told him in not so many words to stuff it. (He also took exception to a comment I left in response to another one that was simple-minded and poorly spelled; all I did was wonder whether the commenter had posted on a Saturday or if she had cut class that day. What horrid vituperative abuse, especially for the blogosphere!)

Incidentally, I had posted in an Amptoons thread in which dozens of people are describing their "gender." (My opinion that is humans have sexes; "genders" are for verbs.) I'm not a homophobe; I completely support the gay-marriage ruling here in Mass., with which I know many people here disagree. But I find it interesting, to say the least, that individuals so caught up in their battles for "civil rights" — some, to me, undebatable; others worthy of the scare quotes — don't consider Israelis deserving of the basic right of self-defense.

Hanan Ashrawi is in the second row, second from left.

The chihuahua in a sweater? Or the hotdog with lemon slices on it? I'm confused. (The order of the images at the above search-results page changes when you hit Refresh.)

I wonder who invented Halloween?

Yassin does look like a corpse.
Too bad he isn't.
I know. This is a scene from that hilarious Palistinian comedy
"Weekend at Shiekh Yassin's".

Some bitch named VFI I think.

We should just go ahead and label this picture "The Usual Suspects."

Throbert:

She's the taco with the hot dog inside.

(I couldn't link directly to the picture because it's no longer there, just in the Google cache.)

Selfton:

Yes, she was certainly "inventive".

The name is sefton,bub.
Ever seen Stalag 17?

It goes even further than that - the people you describe are quite willing to ignore the egregious human rights violations by Palestinians, against Palestinian gays and lesbians - torture, summary executions, etc.

Sefton -

Sorry about the dyslexia!

To what in Stalag 17 are you referring?

My favorite line is

The Germans may be dumb, but they aren't stupid.

And sorry about the bold... :(

Sefton was the hero/anti-hero

Too bad Ilook more like "Animal"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

Yup, It's definetly
" Weekend at shiekh Yassin's".
When they're done here they're all going to take him water skiing and then to 'Bubba's Bar and grill' for a few cold ones.

You crack me up.

BTW, I have an idea for a placard for the next time ANSWER and/or Co. gather here in Austin (as they frequently do), but I have no idea how to make it happen.

Could you send me a PM if interested in giving me some tips.

This month's centerfold in the newly published:

"Most Dangerous Men of Year"

Can't wait for next month's...

kinda shows their strategy to use babies as shields.

A great place for a small IAF bomb...

#122 Ms. Andi,

I'll be glad to offer you any tips I can.

#123 So?,

"Most Dangerous Men of Year"

And, they have a very dangerous idea of what "fun" is.

Incidentally, I had posted in an Amptoons thread in which dozens of people are describing their "gender." (My opinion that is humans have sexes; "genders" are for verbs.)

Er... verbs show do gender in Russian, to name one example (the verb in "John read the book" would be translated prochitál, but for "Mary read the book" it would be prochitála).

But verbs do no such thing in the English language, where gender is practically non-existent as a grammatical category. So as long as we're in an anglophone forum and not talking about foreign-language study, why not use "gender" when describing the cultural and/or biological aspects of human sexuality? No one except for William F. Buckley is likely to get confused.

That said, I found the Amptoons thread you referred to, and I have to agree that some of the posters were quite silly -- and for all their pretensions to enlightened views on sex and gender, some of them seemed to base their "gender self-identity" on extremely traditionalist behavior norms. I mean, if I'm man who likes flowers (and I do, but only some flowers -- marigolds are nice and cheery, and the Stinking Corpse Lily obviously kicks ass, but gladiolas are for sissies), that doesn't make me in any way a feminine-identified biological male; it just makes me a man who likes flowers.

#127 Throbert McGee,

but gladiolas are for sissies

Wrong! Though the orchid is a cut above.

"Have you noticed how much they look like orchids? Lovely!"

These guys are masters of PR. Incredible! All you do is cut out a map of Israel (not Palestine, but Israel) and drape it in a 'palestinian' flag + stick a baby picture on it. Then these things magically appear on both sides of sheik-the-mummy and AP will distribute this quiet message of "our leaders are all well, the struggle to replace Israel with the 'palestinian' dictatorship continues..." free of charge. No oil needs to be sold. The baby picture may be the go-ahead signal for another attack, but it's not like AP would care...

Caption:

"Killing jews is the only way we can get hard-ons."

#104 Throbert McGee

Funny... and actually it sounds vaguely familiar. When I was working at Bell Labs, we were asked to avoid using the word "abort" in our documentation... as it might upset users or whatever. Crazy.

Dang-it Sefton, you are correct.
I thought it was taken from the show, Jihad Joe Millionaire.

#103, #108, #113

You can be sure it's not a Hebrew National, in that case...I think Hanan Ashrawi answers to the lowest, most base authority.

Charles, the picture of the baby on the flag of a fictitious country is the symbol of their instrument of death...an "infant with a wick", ready and willing to get his raisins.

Why have these miserable cowards not volunteered themselves for suicide activities lo these many years?

What's in the urn on the table? Henry Klinghoffer's ring finger?

Speaking of targeting, if you live in or near one of these cities, don't miss the opportunity to hear Nitsana Darshan-Leitner speak. She is an Israeli lawyer responsible for successfully prosecuting cases against these genocidal maniacs along with the EU and Iran. I saw her in London a few months ago and she is dynamic.

Hmmm, I was delivered by a Jewish doctor but not in Palestine. Houston, Texas, 1939. My guy left Germany in 1935. He had some relatives who stayed a little too long in the famous Thousand Year Reich. They all got to shuffle the mortal coil a little early.

Hope the Doctors who delivered those two Palis enjoyed long lives.

I heard they'd edited Saruman out of the upcoming "Return of the King" movie.

Now I know why...

Is that a laptop on the center shelf of the bookcase, or just another joint Franco-German award for Jew killing?

#131

"Killing jews is the only way we can get hard-ons."

You must be a shrink. You hit the motivation right on its ugly nose.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, AGAIN!!!

#138 dgd

Hope the Doctors who delivered those two Palis enjoyed long lives.

Those doctors might well have been slaughtered in the Hadassah convoy massacre.

Say, wasn't Yassin holding the leg of an Israeli soldier as a "bargaining chip" to exchange for hundreds of Pali murderers in Israeli prisons? Where is it? Did the other guys eat it by mistake?

What a target rich environment.

IDF, where are you?

WHERE'S THE LINK?

How can they keep calling this guy a spritual leader. Fer fuckssake already, there is nothing remotely spiritual or religous about him. WTF???

Is there any particular reason why the baby's head is disembodied?

#138 dgd:

I'm not sure I understand your reference. Can you explain?
However, I am now off to bed, as I have just returned from the after-hours cantina I go to after serving Glatt Kosher deli to the denizens of Teaneck, NJ.
