Gaza goes
As Sharon is in New York to have his back slapped and cheeks pinched by kindly Unca’ George for his bold steps towards peace, what has been going on back home?
The big news is that Hamas has siezed this defining moment as an opportunity to demonstrate that all they wanted after all was for Israel to withdraw so that they may start to build their own state. By that I mean continue their terrorist campaign until Israel capitulates at every turn. But it’s ok, as this of course will be vigourously opposed by Mahmoud Abbas…
And this social freedom also offers the chance to work towards greater religious understanding, because the struggle was purely political and in no way associated with Arab anti-Semitism.
But according to The Scotsman, these remaining synagogues, whose fate was under Supreme Court review (it was even being considered to let the Palestinian Authority preserve them), are a real sticking point and that they were desecrated can only be Israel’s fault.
From Honest Reporting:
A decision to leave synagogues in place ‘dampened any hopes for a more peaceful era’? One would think the desecrations did that, not the (hopeful) act of leaving the synagogues intact.
I recommend you (re)read this excellent piece on possible post-pullout scenarios

This is not the way to handle someone who has said something that offends you. And yes what the bloke said was pretty vile.

Musician (and sanctimonious lefty blögger) Matthew Good is releasing a greatest hits compilation, titled In A Coma 1995-2005. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves, y’know?
I had thought that having actual hits was sort of a prerequisite for that sort of thing, but to each his own. I can think of maybe two songs of his that I’ve heard, and neither one registered strongly enough that I can recall the melodies. Check out the innavigable promo page for it here.
