Stupid is the new smart

Today the IDF tweeted a photo of Israeli soldiers tying to save the life of a Palestinian who’d gone all stabby and had to be shot. In response, someone posted a link to a Website. Maybe my new medication has robbed me of my inhibitions, but I had to write about this because I’m sick…

Never trust Wikipedia

Today several people asked me to look at a Danish video showing an aerial view of the destruction in Shijaiyah, a neighborhood of Gaza City.

On July 20-23, 2014, the Israeli Defense Forces assaulted the Gaza City neighborhood of Shijaiyah (also spelled Shejaiya, Shejaiyya, Shuja’iyya, Shijaiyeh, Shujayya, Shuja’ia, Shuja’iya, and Sajaiyeh). The reporting on this military action is one of the most exceptional examples of media malpractice I’ve ever seen. Not only was the purpose of the assault concealed, vital…
