« Liberal Think Tank: East J'lem Handover Not Enough To Appease Palestinians, Will Increase Terrorism (Plus: Losing East J'lem Now Means Losing The Temple Mount Later) | Main | US Unveils $410 Million's Worth Of Assistance That Will Shortly Be Seized By Hamas »

Midday Tuesday Link Dump - Palestinians Kill Palestinians, Blame Israel; Palestinians Kill Israelis, Blame Israel; Red State Bans Ron Paul Crazies, etc.

We've begun to notice a strong correlation between "posts about the peace process" and "posts that nobody bothers to click on." We attribute this ennui to confusion-driven disgust with all things State Department and Olmert, and dutifully promise to supplement it with relatively more familiar videos of Islamic radicals brainwashing kids to go kill other kids. In other news, we're beginning to suspect that the material we work with is not the kind that creates a jovial, enthusiastic reader base.

* Gaza: Hamas blames Fatah for bombings that killed Hamas members - Yet more flirting with civil war, yet more evidence that they will never build up the energy to actually have one

* PA blasts Israel for riot in Ketziot Prison, which leaves dozens hurt - Palestinian prisoners rioted, the oh-so-moderate Palestinian PM Salam Fayad called them "heroes," and then the Palestinians blamed Israel because people got hurt in the rioting. Seriously.

* If only.

* And now you understand why Israel doesn't have 4-way stop signs. The terrorists have been going about this all wrong. Instead of trying to terrorize Israelis to stay in their homes, they should be throwing street festivals.

* We're shocked that this didn't happen sooner. Better late than never though. When the right strategized about getting their own netroots in the aftermath of 2006, they didn't mean importing actual netroots cretins and having them register as Republicans. The sooner Ron Paul and his merry band of "AIPAC controls the US, man" hippies is drummed out of the Republican Party, the sooner they can start poaching Truthers and de facto pro-jihadists from Hillary.

* Bin Laden calls on Iraqi insurgents to unite in a new audiotape - cf. Hot Air for background, analysis.

* Bush asks Congress for $106 million for North Korean aid - NK promises that only $20-$30 mil - maximum - will go toward developing Syrian nukes.
