Dear readers: It has come to our attention that an article that we ran yesterday entitled “Hamas Courts Obama By Decapitating al-Qaida Salafists, Boils Heads in Oil” is riven with factual errors. It seems that the notorious deep fried heads and goats incident was a fabrication concocted by an unknown party (some blame Israel, others, Fatah, while some have even suggested that it was a false flag operation launched by PETA). We have, therefore, decided to pull the piece with our deepest apologies to all concerned, human and caprine.
Read the entire Qnion series here.
I am always surprised by these happenings. Do Arabs generally care about human life or only about human life taken by an Israeli or American?
There were quite a few civilians killed in the Hamas attack. Not a peep from anybody. Also, nobody talks about “proportionality”. Hundreds die in bombings in Iraq. Nobody in the Arab world seems bothered.
I am not trying to justify anything Israel does. Two wrongs do not make a right. I am just explaining why most Israelis don’t take Arab “liberals” seriously. Charity begins at home. Before you “fix” Israel, fix your own home and lead by example.
I resort to two clinches:
1.people in glass houses ….
2. how about you take a dose of yo’r won medicine.
See QN I told you scotology was much more interesting.
That’s what I call inspiration.
How did u come up with the carnivorous goats!!
QN –
Thank you for posting “Avi Urnery”‘s comments.
He’s a real “heavyweight” when it come to these matters.;)
Well, now that Hamas has shown itself to be a huge force against terrorism, I think it’s time to negotiate with them. I nominate Shai as Israel’s first ambassador.
Hamas will never and should never become the leading party for the Palestinian people.
Sydney Sider,
1. Glass houses? When was the last time Jews killed hundreds or tens of Jews?
2. I am not a “liberal”. I don’t live in an Utopian world of make belief like you.
My government treats me rather well. It treats its enemies harshly which is understandable. I may have serious disagreements with my fellow citizens, but we don’t kill each other. We let the ballot box speak.
There are many self proclaimed Palestinian “liberals”, “humanists” or whatever you want to call them. Have you seen any of them protest against the recent Hamas escapades? Ask questions about it? Debate the amount of force used relative to the threat? Nothing. Nada. The silence of the dead. The sounds of pre-creation.
How about Arab “liberals” in general? Compare that to the noise Gideon Levy and Ha’aretz make when they smell a hint of any infraction by the IDF. I am not a person living in a glass house throwing stones. But you are a person living in deep denial.

AIG –
I found an Arab liberal.
