Sunday Miscellany

I've not been posting too much lately as I've been using my time to argue with people over at Democracy Arsenal. However, there are a few posts I'd like to bring to your attention today.

First up is a horrific link which I sent in to Jihad Watch. Yet another chilling example of the barbaric nature of our enemy. Women and children are not merely collateral damage for these animals- they are their deliberate targets.

Next up is the news (a day or two old now) that the UN has funded the Palestinians to produce propaganda (banners, stickers, mugs, bumper stickers) announcing "Today Gaza, Tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem." As Blogs For Bush points out however, the UN gets a quarter of its funding from the US- so US taxpayer's money is funding Palestinian propaganda.

Staying with Blogs for Bush, they note that some of Cindy Sheehan's most vociferous supporters (Code Pink) took part in a mock trial during which they concluded-

"By the principles embodied in the UN Charter and in international law, the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom."

In other words, they fully support the very people who killed Casey Sheehan. How these moonbats came to the conclusion that terrorists blowing up kids deserve the support of people who "care for justice and freedom" is beyond me. Mass murder of Iraqi civilians is "legitimate and justified"? Give me a break.

Yet again, Blogs for Bush- this time a story on John Kerry saying that "Bush and the Republicans have used the terrorism issue to divert attention from issues that favored the Democrats." In other words- Democrats are weak when it comes to terrorism, please don't talk about it. Who's trying to distract who?

Still on the topic of anti-war sentiment, LGF tells us that the Gold Star Families For Peace aren't looking for a debate with Bush-supporters. In her words, "We don't want to debate with people who don't understand our point of view."

And speaking of LGF, here's a story on an Islamic forum on the topic of Israel. The "Senior Member" says-

Resist and censor those who dare to promote that only the West Bank and Gaza are occupied and beg the kuffar to let them establish a freak entity in these areas called “Palestine”...Insist that the agents of kuffer who rule our lands and have betrayed Allah must be removed and replaced by a single Islamic leadership for the whole Ummah which will mobilize the vast armed forces to annihilate the state of Israel and take back Palestine to be part of the Ummah once again.

This is particularly interesting for me as Democracy Arsenal has a post up called "Inside the Arab Mind" by David Adesnik discussing essentially "why the Arab street hates America". Be sure to check out the comments there. As I pointed out many don't want the Israelis out of the West Bank and Jerusalem, they want to see Israel entirely destroyed.
