Hamas Beards vs. Fatah Moustaches

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

The Jerusalem Post reports:

Hamas has resumed its policy of shaving mustaches of political opponents to humiliate them, Fatah officials said Wednesday.

Hamas resorted to this form of punishment in the past after arresting senior Fatah representatives in the Gaza Strip, the officials said.

Hamas, for its part, accused the Palestinian Authority security forces of shaving the beards of detained Hamas officials in the West Bank.

The World’s Worst Olympians

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

The Jewish state may command outsized attention in the diplomatic arena, but Israel’s performance on the field of sport has been anything but impressive.

Israel has only won 6 medals  since it  started taking part at the Olympics in 1952. That’s the reason Israel is now on the list of the world’s worst Olympians. Only Peru got less medals than Israel, with 4 medals they are ranked last.

Gaza: 2 Hamas operatives killed in raid

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Gunfire and explosions shook Gaza City on Saturday as Hamas forces battled fighters in a tribal stronghold where suspects in a deadly bombing were allegedly hiding. (Maan News)

Why do Hamas and Fatah kill each other? Why do Iraqis commit mass murder upon their fellow citizens? Why do the Lebanese shoot and blow each other up (Sunnis, Shiites, Alawaits — you name it). Why have they all repeatedly tried to exterminate Israel? Its not because of ideology. It`s because they have the weapons, that`s why.
