"The Qassams regularly fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza at Israeli towns have inflicted some casualties, but are crude, blunt instruments - rusty iron pipes welded together with engines and fins in secret workshops in Gaza. " Because the palestinians are poor, harmless farmers who can only cobble their weapons out of scrap metal that they had to beat out of their plowshares. "The Qassams mostly needle the Israelis, like pinpricks in the ankles of a giant, taunting him to stamp back with his big, US-issue army boots. " DId you catch that reference? Because the united states backs israel. Which is a giant. "For many Palestinians, there is proof at last that the state which has taken 78% of what they regard as their land since the foundation of Israel in 1948 - and every day seems to take a little more - can actually be beaten." OF WHAT THEY REGARD. See, lil old reporter me just reports on factual accounts of everyman perception. _I_ sure as hell don't believe the jews stole seventy freaking eight percent of the palestinian's land. Big number, that 78. "The giant is kicking out, then landing punch after punch on long-suffering Lebanon. " It's so unfair. Won't someone make them stop? "Tunnels and fences have been erected by the occupier to keep Palestinians away from Israeli roads, Israeli settlements and Israeli soldiers. " That 'occupier' just slipped thru the editors. ""Only violence pays," has been the lesson often taught both by Israel, and by the many militant groups who oppose her in the Middle East. And pupils on both sides have graduated with honours. " I can't believe american english evolved out of the shit soup that is british writing and humor. When I started listening to NPR I thought all its analogies and witticisms were just cute shoutouts to british humor...until I realized that one five-year-old writes all their copy. One five y.o. who thinks extended analogies are clever. "In the last village before the highway, oblivious to the danger of rockets, a young man pushes a cart loaded to the sky with white eggs. In the other direction come lorries, loaded with shells, for Israeli tanks to launch into Lebanon. " Because jews would rather kill you than make sure the hezbollah IHOP has its daily egg shipments. Perhaps the jews don't realize those eggs are molded plastic explosives, painted white. Notice the sidebar, summarizing the entire mideast conflict in 7 blurbs, including this one: "1996: Israel launches "Grapes of Wrath" raids on Hezbollah; 100 civilians die under Israeli shelling of UN base at Qana" Oh shit, the jews SHELLED a united nations base? Even wikipedia has a good explanation for that one. wikipedia > BBC FTW. "By Nick Thorpe" His byline portrait looks like someone slapped a wig on the Half-Life G-Man. |
