Dunkin Donuts has decided to yank its ad featuring Rachel Ray wearing a Kefiyah
Pesonally, it’s no big deal. Who cares what she’s wearing? The ad is for coffee and donuts.
The more important issue however, is how is a Keffiyeh worn around the neck like a scarf considered fashionable? It just looks silly.
Israeli tactics silence the West Bank, but collide with peace process
The military’s faith in its efforts comes across in charts showing a steep decline in suicide bombings – from a high of 59 in 2002 to only one in 2007, and one so far this year.
While even one is too many, this trend is a sign that the IDF is doing things right.
The raid the Israeli Airforce conducted back in September, appears to have taken out a Syrian nuclear facility:
North Koreans Taped at Syrian Reactor
Will the name Al-Kibar now be synonomous with Osirak (the Iraqi reactor also destroyed by the IAF).
Carter gets denied entry into Gaza…
Guess that means that he won’t be building any houses there…
Apparently Israel is free from any deadly Killer Rabbits (Arnavei HaMavet?) and as such, Israel did the right thing in declining to give Jimmy Carter any special security detail.
Here’s one crazy idea of how the Palestinians may celebrate the day they term the naqba
PA urges Palestinians to ‘return’
The Palestinian Authority is planning to mark Israel’s 60th anniversary by calling on all Palestinians living abroad to converge on Israel by land, sea and air….
…
The plan specifically refers to Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, whose governments are asked to provide logistic support to allow the refugees to carry out their mission.
One can only imagine what the Jordanian government things of the idea of more Palestinians in their country–especailly on the border. The same goes for the Lebanese, who still remember the 1980s…
Meir Dagan, chief of the Mossad, looks to have brought some of the swagger back to Israel’s Intelegence Agency, which had been absent in recent years (second article)
Imad Mughniyeh is dead via car bomb
Cross another one of the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list
Over at Sandbox, Martin Kramer does a simple calculation and determines that some propagandists are claiming that the average Gazan needs 0.5 tons of flower/day.
That’s a whole lot of pita bread!
Is this not further proof that Liberal Arts majors really need a mathematics requirement?
Even in the desert, the laws of economics apply
Yet, with the way things go, there’s likely to be complaints of an “invisible Israeli hand” effecting the Market in Sinai.
As a result of Israel’s cessation of providing gas to Gaza, a booming market has now emerged for donkeys.
Makes sense to use a donkey…but why not a camel?
(Oh, this will bring in some fun search engine hits)
What exactly is the upcoming “Mid-East Conference” being held in Annapolis supposed to accomplish?
Looks like she’s officially fallen into the Foggy Bottom mentality
She’s asking Jimmy Carter for help on the MidEast
That’s officially a gigantic: FAIL
Compare the reception Ahmadinejad got at Columbia with the one he got at Tehran University
What’s wrong with this picture?
Asked to comment on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadenjad’s call to wipe Israel off the map, Assad said: “This is freedom of speech. Any person in the world has the right to express himself freely. This is just an expression.”
So says Syrian Dictator Bashaar Assad in an interview with CBS (via Debka) Because after all, Syria is a shining example of countries that allow free speech….
Definitely don’t expect Prime Minister “I can cook Iraninan food and desire to wipe Israel off the map” Ahmadinejad on the Food Network any time soon…if ever.
It looks like some aspects of the democratic process are slowly but surely being taught to the Iraqis.
The lesson–political criticism, and it doesn’t look like Prime Minister al-Maliki likes it very much.
At least he’s learned how to fire back at his critics.
From Yediot Achronot:
Israeli porn websites report up to 10 percent of their clicks are from Muslim countries.
Perhaps a medium has been found to bridge the gap between some parties in the two spheres?
Well…..stranger things have happened
