Let's just get this out of the way: fundamentalists, no matter what team they play for, suck.
Now the short-dick contest between the various teams can continue as normal in this thread. Thanks. posted by Pollomacho at 10:35 PM on November 21, 2006
Yeah, the tag is arguing that the content in the link "is real", as opposed to "fake". You can't put spaces in tags. posted by mr_roboto at 10:37 PM on November 21, 2006
I know several journalists working in the middle-east that are more afraid to go into the settlement areas than they are to go into Gaza or the West Bank. Beat downs apparently happen pretty regularly. posted by photoslob at 10:41 PM on November 21, 2006
Strange, next they'll be attacking New Zealanders and then Old Zealanders. Why aren't they busy killing Palestinians, like usual? They need a change of pace or what?

Seriously, though. Need confirmation, this appears staged to my untrained . posted by IronLizard at 10:45 PM on November 21, 2006
Uh, yeah. A one-link press release disguised as a news bulletin. Plus there's no source for who translated the "We killed Jesus" chant. Surely "Eddie the Blogger" isn't a Hebrew-speaker.
cgs: How bout you back this up with a real news story for contrast or confirmation? (I'd go hunt for it, but it's your post.) posted by turducken at 10:46 PM on November 21, 2006
Kahanist thugs, I reckon. I'd say send 'em back to Brooklyn, but Brooklyn shouldn't have to put up with them, either. posted by flapjax at midnite at 10:53 PM on November 21, 2006

For some reason, I wouldn't expect to see it on the national news even if they had killed her. For the same reason they don't usually report most Palestinian casualties either. posted by Brian B. at 10:56 PM on November 21, 2006
Well, considering that the ISM supports the use of violence against the IDF and Israeli settlers, I don't exactly see what the problem is, assuming this story is true in any way. posted by loquax at 10:59 PM on November 21, 2006
I vote that from now on FPPs that even mention Israel get removed immediately. They just become flamewars revolving around Israel causing genocide, people screaming anti-semitism and just a whole bunch of idiocy from both sides of the argument. I'm gonna go get me some christian baby blood and wait for this all to go away. posted by KingoftheWhales at 10:59 PM on November 21, 2006
Brian: yeah, because there's a huge Jewish/Zionist conspiracy to minimize the Palestinian plight in favor of the Israeli casualties. Those damned j00z. See what happens when you let them control the media? posted by aberrant at 11:00 PM on November 21, 2006

Hey, come on, if they'd killed her, it'd make the news. I agree, though, that something like this very likely wouldn't make the mainstream news outlets. But hey, that's what blogs are for, right? posted by flapjax at midnite at 11:00 PM on November 21, 2006

Sure, Israel wouldn't, but Sweden and perhaps others most likely would. I think you're too used to US-centric 'what we don't tell them' type news. posted by IronLizard at 11:00 PM on November 21, 2006
Yeah, did you see that skirt she was wearing? She absolutely deserved to be raped.
Ahem.
I don't have any idea what really happened, and this "we killed Jesus" thing sounds, ahh, farfetched let us say, but there are some pictures of a bloody woman surounded by some soldiers, I would rather give her the benefit of the doubt. posted by blacklite at 11:05 PM on November 21, 2006
