“Happy Passover!” from your freedom fightin’ friends at Hamas.

…At least 20 dead, more than 120 injured — many so critically that the death toll is certain to rise. Hamas is calling today’s attack a “message to the Arab Summit” that it plans to continue the carnage until it gets…uh, what is it these bloodsuckers want again? The annihilation of all Jews everywhere, is it?

Something very, very big is coming. And soon.

…Meanwhile over on FOXNews, some Palestinian apologist has been dutifully trotted out to “condemn” terrorism — though naturally she’s refusing to use the word “terrorism” to describe the heroic efforts of “occupied” peoples fighting for “freedom” in Palestine (and by “freedom” she presumably means “the right to live under a brutal autocracy, one immune to the stench of nearby democracy”). Further, she’s blaming today’s attacks on Ariel Sharon! It’s elementary, declares the good “Dr”: The filthy Jews brought today’s violence on themselves because of a steadfast refusal to cave into Arab demands that they cease to exist! It’s really simple, you see!

What’s left to say? You’d be more likely to get a rise out of this FOX rent-a-hag by telling her the blouse she’s wearing is hideous than by suggesting to her the utter barbarity of blowing up innocent families sitting down to a religious meal. I mean, the gall of these uncivilized fuckholes is absolutely astounding to me.

Sorry, everybody: I’m in no mood to post anything else of substance today. Truth is, this latest savagery has really rattled me. I’ve written up some thoughts for the comments section of LGF, but that’s about all I’m up to at the moment. Stephen Green has a heart-felt post you may want to take a look at. As does John Cole. As does Jeff Jarvis. And so on.

I will note, by way of venting, that one of our local Denver stations ran a story on its evening “news” broadcast yesterday about a 50+ year-old civil engineer who’s planning a trip to “Palestine” to “Protest for Peace.” This pompous and sanctimonious hard-on glutted the local airwaves for three minutes with his breathless “plan for Mid East peace” — a “strategy” that essentially boils down to his fat ass heading over to the region to throw rocks at Israeli Security personnel while his wife snaps photographs (all so he can show his flabby, haughty, and equally sanctimonious left-liberal friends how fucking brave he is, how far he’s willing to go to bring about “peace” in the region, how committed his is to the plight of the long-suffering Palestinians, how totally rugged he looks in a khaki vest…). “I’d lay down in front of a tank if I thought it would bring peace to the region,” Peaceboy told a 7 News reporter. Uh huh. Or if he thought somebody’d reward him with a coupla’-three corndogs.

Question: D’you suppose he’d let me tear his tongue out by the roots, instead? That’d bring us a lot closer to peace than anything this bloated tool might accomplish by playing dress up in the West Bank (unless of course he actually did plop his ass down in front of an Israeli tank, and the tank driver decided to “ignore” Dumbo’s posturing protest, I mean) — but even if my solution didn’t bring us closer to piece, at least I’d have Mr. Earnest’s silly tongue pickled and in a jar in my garage …

That a local Denver news channel had the temerity to run this simpering pap in the first place, given the current climate in the Middle East, is absolutely mind-boggling. That it was one-sided, melodramatic, mock-earnest, and incredibly simplistic, alas, is no surprise at all…

Hmmm. You think in light of today’s events the station’ll do a follow-up interview this evening? Just last night, after all, this droopy prick lectured the entire Denver metropolitan area about the “oppression” of an “inherently peace loving” but “occupied” people who aren’t confrontational by design — but rather are simply at their wit’s end from having been systematically degraded by the evil Zionists for decades. Victims is all they are. See?

Shame, shame, shame on Denver’s Channel 7 for running this “story”, and shame on them especially for not contesting any of this puffy imbecile’s claims — specifically, his seminal claim that Israel is “occupying” land that belongs to an historical “Palestine”!

Local news. Christ. Just tell me what the weather’s going to be like and who won the Rockies game and then shut the fuck up.
