I was going to write about something else today. I was going to talk about two-faced lying by the Palestinian Authority. I was going to describe how Palestinian diplomats openly speak on Arabic TV of how they lie to the international media and other ambassadors and diplomats.

But, that was before I stumbled upon this horrific story of Israeli Terrorism Against Innocent Palestinians.

How can a story of insane corruption compare to Israeli Terrorism Against Innocent Palestinians?

As I may have mentioned before, I’m reading “In the Garden of Beasts” by Erik Larson. Exceptionally well written. Chilling.

Anyway, I continue to be chilled, more and more by the parallels between the run-up to World War II and the situation that we experience, right now. Then, as now, we have a despotic ruler terrorizing his own citizens and threatening to exterminate the Jews. Then, as now, we have nations around the world attempting to placate aggression by throwing innocent countries to this wolf. Then, as now, we have a well-developed PR machine allied to the despotic regime attempting to neutralize any hint of the truth coming to light. Then, as now, we are in peril of our lives, and we’re not paying attention.

Another interesting article by Raymond Ibrahim:

When reading Western reports dealing with Islam, one must learn to read between the lines.  Many of these reports do state the actual facts; but without providing proper context, Western readers are often left to interpret the information according to their own understandings.

One example: the ubiquitous term “sectarian strife” to describe Muslim-Christian clashes in the Middle East is factually correct; yet “sectarian strife” connotes comparable forces fighting one another, when in reality it is often nothing less than a vastly outnumbered Christian minority being grossly oppressed by Muslim majorities, as has happened for centuries.

You meet interesting people while sweeping a floor in Jerusalem.

Last Summer, my wife and I were helping in the cleanup effort one Friday morning at church, when we ran into a couple from California. They were in Jerusalem for a few weeks, hanging out, and they had come to help get the Jerusalem Assembly meeting room ready for services on Saturday morning.

As you would expect, we talked about this and that and (and the other thing) but spent most of our time sharing our thoughts on Israel. Then, he mentioned that he knew Walid Shoebat.

It’s the Sun?

Good news.

From the birthplace of the World Wide Web we have news about global warming. And, you’ll never guess what’s causing it. No, really, it’s going to surprise you. But, I’m not sure that I can really tell you about it.

You see, it’s a little embarrassing. A bunch of physics types got it into their head to see how much a certain… star… yes, that’s it… star… had on the formation of clouds. And, they got this idea ‘cuz everyone knows that stars are the source of zippy particles – these really tiny, tiny things that rush through the air really zippy fast. And, they thought that these zippy particles might play a role in how clouds are formed. (No really. This is interesting.)
