Pretty good rant over the ME conflict
« on: July 14, 2006, 10:46:06 PM »
I found this a refreshing view, especially coming from an Arab.  He's got a pretty good blog here http://www.sandmonkey.org/ wich I plan to read more into.  (may be NSFW for language content)

Quote

Now, I for one awaited the Hezbollah surprise, and I have to say I found it rather dissapointing. They hit one f-n ship. That’s the surprise? That’s what the Israelis should beware? Hehehe. Dude, they blew up half of Beirut, they destroyed Nasrallah’s home and Office, and he is now hiding like a rat, declaring war on a cellphone since he no longer dares to show his face in public. He declares open war from a hideout and he doesn’t even have the means to have it televized. We are suppsoed to be impressed by this? What are your war capabilities you f-head if in one day you run hiding and can’t even show your face? What is this bullsh-t anyway?  And you know the Israelis haven’t even started fighting yet. why is ... ahh..nevermind.

And then you read something like Hal’s latest rant and you ponder the arab mentality. We are the only people in the world who talk about dignity and honor when it comes to military conflict, and who will continue fighting losing wars, unprepared and undermilitarized, because of reasons such as “our pride and dignity” and then wonder why the f- we lose. I mean, can you imagine if the americans acted the same way? They would never have left Vietnam. They would stay in Iraq forever. You don’t see a single american saying “we should stay in Iraq because our national pride and dignity are wounded by the insurgents attacks”. Only we would use some half assed justification to keep fighting wars we can’t win, where we keep getting our tulips kicked, and some how don’t see the folly in it at all.

And all of this talk about Israel targeting civillians really pisses me off. Let me clear it up for you once and for all: Hamas and Hezbollah don’t have military bases: they plan, operate and attack from homes, where their families are. The Israelis, in order to retaliate, they have to attack those homes, which always lead to those women and children, who live in those houses, to die. If Hamas and Hezbollah don;t want civillians to die, don;t f-ckin plan your attacks or launch your attacks near civillians. But you know they do this on purpose, so it would look bad on the Israeli if they attacked. Dude, they called the airport 1 hour before they hit it to have it evacuated, they warned all of southern Beirut yesterday to take cover because they don’t want to kill them. Not hezbollah. Hezbollah doesn’t give a **** who their missiles hit. And somehow, they remain blameless in the arab mind: after all, they are not jews.  Listen, you can not talk **** about how you will beat and destory Israel, and then scream “Humanatarian crisis” when they hit you back. Either suffer the consequences of your actions or SHUT THE F- UP. I am sick and tired of your f-n POSING!

I kind of enjoyed this 1.

http://www.sandmonkey.org/2006/03/29/my-aunt-the-jews-and-the-tsunami/

  "My Aunt, the Jews and the Tsunami!"

As some of you may know, I am a big fan of conspiracy theories, especially ones started by Egyptians. In Egypt I have heard some of the craziest conspiracy theories ever, and I am actually proud of that, because it shows that we, as people, have a huge imagination, an asset that I believe remains largely untapped. I swear that if you give people here the means to, they will produce some of the world’s greatest fiction. It will be majorly anti-Semitic fiction, but hey, entertaining nonetheless.

While some conspiracy theories stand above the fray, my favorite conspiracy theorist has to be my dear crazy aunt. She is a mean and jealous woman who spent her life trying to spread misery to others, especially my mother, and why my mother hasn’t disowned her yet remains a mystery to me. But that’s besides the point.

She has been unemployed and veiled by choice for the past 6 years, opting to spend her time making her husband and kids’ life miserable, which is why they are almost never home. So, in order to pass the time, she reads lots of books, mostly of the kind that you would find in downtown Cairo street booksellers. Basically books on Koranic magic ( of the “ketab el katkoot lefak el marboot” variety), the conjuring of Jinn, how Islam is right on everything and Christians and Jews are idiots, and how the Jews are to blame for everything. The woman became infamous for her talks with family members on how the Jews control the stock market using the Kabala magic, and how, if you look very quickly to your left or right side, you could see the Jinn sitting next to you, and that the only reason Bush promoted this port deal, was because the UAE company had Jewish partners that influenced him to push it. To put it bluntly, the woman has lost her damn mind. And that’s not even the worst part. The worst part is that once she starts talking, she wouldn’t shut the **** up, ever. She won’t even take bathroom breaks.

A conversation with her consists of her talking for 2 hours without you even having the chance to interrupt her, while telling you how it really works in the world and how she knows the truth on everything, and how the wicked Jews are behind it all. And you better only nod in agreement or show approval, or she would talk even more, which, trust you me, is not advisable. And don’t even think of arguing with her logically, because a) she doesn’t respond to logic, b) if you do manage to beat her in any point, she will yell at you for being an insolent young-know-nothing and remind you how you should “respect your elders”.

Needless to say, she is on top of my list of relatives to avoid, and the primary reason why I regret not having an alcohol-drinking family, because at family gatherings when she is present, I- and all of the new generation in my family- desperately yearn for a drink. But especially me, because that woman has a special place in her heart for me, because she has sported delusional fantasies for 2 decades now that I would marry her daughter, and my mom- like many middle-eastern mothers- sees nothing wrong or incest-related about that. I told my mother that I would oppose this, if for no other reason at all, because that woman is my aunt because of fate, and I accepted that as god’s cruel joke, but I will be damned if I made her my mother-in-law by choice. This had little or no effect on either’s woman’s resolve I fear, and I feel that the only way to shut them up and get that idea out of their heads at this point is to marry someone else, preferably Jewish, just to piss them off. That was the plan till very recently..

….until I heard her latest conspiracy theory.

Did any of you know that the Jews were behind the 2004 Tsunami?

No? That’s because you don’t know my aunt.

You see, the jews were not happy about their current complete and total control of all arab governments (“Read the protocols of zion, it’s all there, mr. skeptic” she would tell you if you objected) and they wanted to kill muslims in non-arab Islamic countries as well. “That’s how wicked they are”, she would interject. They apparently decided to target Islamic Asian countries, and especially Indonesia, because it’s the largest one, and figured out that the best way to do it is using nuclear weapons. But afraid of the world turning against them, they decided to be all jew-like and sneaky about it, and blow the nuclear weapons deep under the ground, thus causing artificial earthquakes that kill thousands of Indonesian muslims and their neighbors. They have done that for years no apparently, and even though those earthquakes kill non-muslims as well, none of those dying are jews, which makes it fine by them. This has been going on since the early 1990’s, she would inform your ignorant ass.

The 2004 Tsunami was a turning point for them, she informed us, because it was the first time they 1) used more than 1 nuclear weapon in creating their earthquake and-I **** you not- 2) deployed their weather-control technology, to direct the waves to Islamic countries. The plan was a great success, as we all know, as is the main reason why the Bush administration jumps when the israli government says so. Apprently the USA is now terrified of Israel’s newfound technology, which will only mean “more defeat and humiliation” of arabs and muslims everywhere on the hands of America.

Yeah!

When she told us this at my Mother’s Birthday, I remember being incredibly silent for a minute, and then I asked her “Well, if the Jews rule the world, can cause earthquakes and control the weather, ehh, why do we bother worshiping god then? I mean, you make them all god-like, we might as well worship them instead, no?”

She, of course, called me an insolent young-know-nothing.

I looked at my mom, and I realized that she was silent on the whole thing and didn’t show an opinion. My mom’s aunt, another member of the “Jews-rule-the-world” book club, was quick to second what my aunt said as “the truth”. My mom’s other aunt was quick to join in by saying that she too has apparently heard it said from scientists, and since I am no scientist, that means that they are right and I am wrong. “Don’t mind him”, my aunt said, “they brainwashed him when he was in Boston. We all know and heard about that Jewish Harlot you used to date!”

“Which one?” I wanted to ask, but decided it wasn’t a smart move at this point.

It was then and there that I decided that I will never, ever, ever, get married. Well, not as long as my mother’s side relatives are alive and part of the family that is. I mean, I was born into this family, so there is nothing I can do about it really. But it would be a cruel and unusual punishment to bring someone else into this crazy circus, let alone someone jewish. They would probably plot to kill her if anything. No need.

But yeah, the Jews are behind the Tsunami, people.

Just thought you should know!

Lebanese general states that, contrary to western press releases, their forces are NOT in full retreat.  

"We are engaged in a strategic withdrawal preparatory to launching a massive counterstrike that will drive the Jews out of our country and south into the righteous arms of our Palestinian brothers in Gaza!"

Meanwhile, the Syrian government has vowed to fight to the last Lebanese.

How long before blogs like this one are as phony or subtly biased as some national broadcasts or anonymous forum replies?

I don't think this guy shows much bias or subtly for that matter.  I only stumbled on it last night and he pretty much wears his opinion on his sleeve as far as I can tell  (IE pretty transparent).  I found his views refreshing and usually you can tell who the hardcore bloggers are.  He seems to just have fun expressing his views while writing and actually making some pretty good sense while doing it.

I didn't mean this blog was misleading.
Feeding credible intox into blogs is probably easier than into proportionaly larger news media.. I meant blogs could be (if they aren't already, I'm only guessing) swamped with clever disinformation if they proved popular enough a medium.
There's just no substitute to seeing things with one's own eyes.

you've obviously never been to http://www.DailyKos.com huh? ;)

TO be fair though there are equal amount of conservative blogs that I don't like reading because most of their comentary (searching for an appropriate word) is nitpicky IMHO.
