This is the Weekend Holyland Update, flight 032110, reporting live from the incipient 3rd Intifada. Your humble narrator is too depressed (on a personal level to go along with the collective one) to be cute about it, but the jack booted thugs my tax money is paying for have gone on a murder spree in the past two weekends, claiming the lives of four Palestinians under the age of 20 in the past two days alone. Two were shot at a demonstration which, according to the Israeli Disgusting Force, was actually an attempt to storm the judo-nazi settlement of Itamar. Riiiight. Interesting how, when settler scum really do storm Palestinian villages, in the course of one of their "price tags" (that's when they go a-pogrom against Palestinian villages to punish the Israeli government for annoying them) - then no lethal force is ever necessary. In fact no force is ever necessary, as the judonazi marauders are always allowed to complete their assaults and run away unhindered.

The other two were shot at a checkpoint after the thugs on guard claimed the two 19 year olds assaulted them with a pitchfork and a broken bottle. Again: 5-6 soldiers, all in flack jackets, armed with M-16 assault rifles, had no choce but to shoot to death two guys with no protective gear and a pitchfork (the bottle I don't even buy). 

This in addition to the 14 year old boy who was shot in the head from a rooftop in his own village last week. All by thugs from the "Kfir" brigade, which is the IDF brigade that has been created especially for jackboot-detail in the occupied territories, and is commensurately manned mainly by settlers. Remember when a bunch of grunts mutinied, waving placards saying they wouldn't obey orders to evacuate settlements? Same bunch. 

Seems to me that the orange scum are trying to ignite a third Intifada, no matter how much admirable restraint the Palestinians are showing, so they can go on a little killing spree - and in the process show the government who really is in charge on the ground. 

In related news: A bunch of "fans" of racist flagship soccer team Beitar Jerusalem lynched a couple of Arab sanitation workers who were busy cleaning up the toilets at Beitar's home stadium. Police arrested seven suspects... and the court released them "under limiting conditions" to house arrest. Now, let's imagine seven arabs lynching a couple of nice Jewish boys. Who wants to bet as much as a fucking penny there would be no house arrest? Didn't think so.

And to the necrophilia part of our little tour today: Isra-hell's government voted today to relocate the fortified ER at the Barzilai hospital, in the city of Ashkelon, at a cost of $36 million and a delay of two years to the completion of the facility, which is supposed to provide residents of Israel's south-west with a rocket-proof place to receive medical attention the next time Ashkelon is targeted by Hamas rockets. Why the relocation? Because some bones were found at the original site and our moron primitive deputy/acting health minister got it in his head that these are holy Jewish bones. Didn't help that he was told by every expert possible that these were in fact pagan graves, or that this is a matter of saving lives, which trumps a matter of graves even according to Judaism, or that one would be hard pressed indeed to dig a hole anywhere in this land without uncovering an ancient grave. 11 ministers, including many who live perfectly secular lives, voted for this animistic abomination, at a cost greater than the entire ministry of health's construction budget. 

And on a personal note: I've had it with this shit-hole. The second I have the cash necessary for 4 plane tickets and a month of rent, I'm out of here. The judonazis, islamonazis and all the other idiots can have the place. I'm gonna go live someplace where life is more important than death.
