The Insanity Of The Left

The IDF is being criticized because it doesn’t rape enough women:

The next sentence delineates the particular goals that are realized in this manner: “In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it can be seen that the lack of military rape merely strengthens the ethnic boundaries and clarifies the inter-ethnic differences – just as organized military rape would have done.”

The paper further theorizes that Arab women in Judea and Samaria are not raped by IDF soldiers because the women are de-humanized in the soldiers’ eyes.

No, it couldn’t possibly be that that the Israeli government (like Jews everywhere) abhors rape, and that Israeli soldiers are discouraged from raping women, and punished when they do.

Either way, in the minds of the anti-semites in academia, they can’t win.

[Update before bed]

I continue to be boggled by this. Refusing to rape women? Just how evil can you get?

[Thursday morning update]

Jeez… What is it about the self-hating Israeli left and its rape fantasies?

Contacted by the Jewish Week, Laundau confirmed the statements, but said his views had been delivered

And To All A Good Night

I don’t know how much I’ll be posting before Wednesday, but this will stay bumped at the top, so look below it for fresh stuff. Have a great Christmas, for those who celebrate it, and a great holiday in general, even if you don’t.

Coming Home To Baghdad

For Christmas:

…al-Qaeda has been rooted out of Doura and the hundreds of Christian families who left the area are returning.

On Christmas Day they will congregate in the battle-scarred St Mary’s Church, where part of the crucifix on its tower is still missing after being shot at.

“We closed the church two years ago because of all the trouble,” said the priest, Father Younadim Shamoon, 45, who has decorated its bullet-cratered walls with modest fairy lights.

“But many people are coming back after word got around that the local Muslim people were welcoming us again. We thank God and hope that we can live together again as brothers.”

No thanks to Harry Reid.

On Holiday

Just in case anyone wondered, I was traveling yesterday. We’re in Columbia Missouri, the Ann Arbor of…errrrr…Missouri, visiting Patricia’s relatives. Posting will not be non-existent, but perhaps light, due to ongoing work load and celebratory Christm…holiday activities. Hope you’re having a good one as well, so far.

Solution of High-Priced Milk

Milk prices hit $3.84/gallon in September which was about a buck more than gasoline. My solution: put ice in milk glasses, then add 15% ethanol to the milk to be required by law. The solution’s also known as (White) Russian.

— Update 12/21, 9:00 PM CST —

Ethanol should be mandated for 15% of the rocket fuel used in US rockets. That might get ADM to stump for more launches.

A Tale Of Two Pictures

One wonders if the photog is a one-trick pony:

…look at the differences. The crop, of course, is exceedingly important. Here the focal points are the regal hands and imperial glare instead of the giant hands and, well, crotch. Whereas Clinton comes off like a thoroughly pleased guy about to run off to a party, Putin looks like he’s deciding whether to have you killed.
