Latest Israeli War Crimes

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Information's Saudi Press Agency (SPA) spokesman Jihad Goebbels, Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, condemned "Israeli war crimes against the Palestinian people". The current war crimes are Israel's attempt to stop the Palestinians' missile attacks through a raid on Hamas terrorists inside the Gaza Strip.

"Saudi Arabia calls on the international community to... work to stop the Israeli war machine"


It is important to put the Israeli war crimes, and their general criminal lawlessness, in perspective -- the Sharia perspective. As is well known, Jews are not allowed to defend themselves. If a Muslim strikes a Jew, that is a lawful act.However, it is an illegal criminal act for a Jew to strike a Muslim.



It is easy to see why the Saudi Public Enlightenment Minister wished to point out to the world that Israel was committing war crimes by attempting to stop the entirely lawful (although not quite peaceful) Palestinian missile attacks.



So, for all you in the international community, please stop referring to Israeli defensive actions. That is simply not legally possible for Jews. (Oh, and while you're at it, please stop referring to Palestinian "terrorists" -- after all, they are only lawfully attacking Jews.)



Update: Sorry, but we haven't been able to confirm that the Ministry of Information SPA spokesman is actually named "Jihad Goebbels". Apparently, it just seemed a reasonable, though unsubstantiated, assumption.

  2. And the Palestinians sound like the (little) big brother: "Mommy! He hit me back!!!".

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.

In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.

We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.
