The Meaning of “Ceasefire”

Apparently, Israel is preparing to proclaim a unilateral ceasefire.  Good news for the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip.  The reason that the ceasefire is unilateral is because Hamas is refusing to back down:   Hamas has said a cease-fire alone is not enough. “We are working in every direction so we can achieve our objectives [...]

Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right

Okay, I’ve dished out some criticism some of the anti-Israeli people out there.  So, just to be fair, it’s time for some pwnage of pro-Israeli Americans, and it’s not like this is really hard.  Honestly, it’s like shooting goldfish in a bowl.  Their analogies are the worst ever.  For instance, there’s George Will, saying, “All [...]

Open Letter to Israel

Dear Israel, How’s it going? Probably not so well, huh? Well, let’s hear no more moaning from you.

Too Much Bad Stuff (UPDATED)

As I’m writing, I’m watching the 24 movie, and in a commercial break just before, I saw an two interesting commercial(s).  One by the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee), basically accusing Jim Martin of enabling child prostitution and drug dealers who hang out near schools.  And then I saw a Jim Martin commercial accusing Saxby of not [...]
