#1 The Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church is just meters from the Baptist Hospital, where the Israeli army committed a massacre last Tuesday, killing at least 600 Palestinians and injuring hundreds more.

I guess, after they've realized that nobody but their "friends" buys the hospital story - somebody noticed that the church wall was damaged by the rocket's shrapnel.

#2 Seems like 20% of Paleo rockets are ‘own goal’ scores, so IF the Church was hit …

#3 So "dozens" of people were killed in an Israeli strike on an Orthodox (i.e., Christian) church. Yet these people are "martyrs".
A)How are non-Muslims considered martyrs?
B) Who allowed a kaffir church in a Muslim country anyway?

#4 Friends, I'm a xirson who laughs out loud at the 3,000 Tulsa claim, then cries because xi knows that 30,000 will be next. Of course Pal claims (and them newfangled Arabic numbers generally, for all I care) are garbage. [startled Garbitsch gif] But I gotta confess I sometimes wonder whether there isn't a point, somewhere waaay out there, beyond which kneejerk cynicism loses a little of its peerless explanatory power. Anyway. With love...

Kaboom (St. Porphyrius bomb...
or whatever). The State, with aplomb,
Stands up and takes credit...
But wait, there's an edit:
Retraction of claim by, um, Grom.

#5 Foghorn of War

No war is a walk in the park
For observers, but now, through the dark,
Booms the voice of [ahem]:
"Sure we know it was them
Because... isn't it always? And snark!"

[clever Leghorn pic here, please]

#6 Hmm. There was an old man of Livorno? But seriously, Grom, mea maxima culpa.

#7 The most degraded of them all
Mediterranean we call.
His hair is crisp, and even curls,
And he is saucy with the girls.

#8 Somebody needs to tell HamAss that we are fine with their casualties on any Israeli strike being anywhere from 0 to ALL. At this point, I just don't care how many of them die, they beg for it anyway, they're just getting their most fervent wish fulfilled.
