Ah, those crafty Mullahs, ever on the watch-out for the 12th Man, uh, Imam, have spied out the nefarious rabbi father of Krusty the Clown and banned the very dolls created from the Simpsons.

But you know who they really fear? Maggie. The one with the gun.

It’s the Second Amendment thing, you see, what gave the common folk the right to bear arms, something only the elite had been allowed to do since the Middle Ages—and the elite, even the so-called democratic version, have been trying to take it back ever since.

Now we know their problem. They’re blinded by all the “snow”, obviously.

UPDATE:  Make that thirty-five pounds of cocaine, in hollowed-out text books, found in bags in the UN mail room.

“There hasn’t been a Christmas tree in Gaza City’s main square since Hamas pushed the Palestinian Authority out of Gaza in 2007 and Christmas is no longer a public holiday…Of the 1.5 million Palestinians now living in the Gaza Strip, fewer than 1,400 are Christian and those who can are leaving.”

This was in the ultra-lefty Guardian, which usually reserves its ink for Israel-bashing, so it’s a story you might have missed.

Via Simply Jews.

Got to be the world’s largest Chanukkah menorah–atop the Azrieli Center in Tel Aviv.

“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,” (Isaiah 62:6)

“What can Iran do with a nuclear weapon?” he asked rhetorically. “For example, will they hit Israel? How many Palestinians will die? And you think if Iran hits Israel, their cities will be safe? They will be gone the next day.”

Makes sense, as far as it goes, especially coming from someone whose country is just fifty miles across the Persian Gulf from Iran. But do the Persian Mullahs have any sense? They haven’t made much so far.

As Spengler puts it, Egypt is becoming a banana republic without the bananas. One that, indeed, cannot even feed itself.

And it would be, as he adds here, “an obscenity” for us to continue to supply arms to these religious fanatics. We’ll see whether Obamalot—which stupidly pulled the rug out from under our old ally Mubarak—has the decency to sever our military aid to this budding Somalia on the Nile.

Unlike Spengler, I wouldn’t be opposed to some food aid for the hungry—even knowing that the new Muslim Brotherhood kleptocracy would take most of it—but, please, no more M-1 tanks, M- and F-16s, spare parts, and other arms, shells and ammunition.

For our own, as well as for Israel’s sake, stop it all now.

The “carnage and desolation” has “to be seen to be believed,” says the unidentified narrator of Hitchcock’s  53 minute film. And so it is. No sensibility is spared. The film is so grisly that it was suppressed for years by the British war office. What makes it so horrible is its pitiless recording of the mass-grave burial of thousands of naked starvation victims, none of them ever identified, by their Nazi SS captors at the direction of angry Allied soldiers.

Parts of the film finally were aired in 1985 under the title “Memory of the Camps.” But Google Video is making it available in its disquieting entirety for the first time. You will share the shock (though certainly not the guilt) of the well-fed  German burgomeisters who were rounded up from local towns and made to stand and watch. If you can view the whole thing in one go, you’re braver than me. But I finally got through it, and it was worth it, especially for the contempt it generates for Holocaust deniers, Muslim and otherwise.
