Angry Arab reported yesterday that “According to the Lebanese Army, Israel has, since the passage of resolution 1701, violated it 939 times (735 by air, 58 by sea, and 146 by land). This is the kind of news that you will not read in Western media, even if Abed is driving the car.” The link is here. That’s okay though, right? They must have a good reason for violating the resolution, or at least 939 good reasons.

(On a sidenote, with the recent release of WikiScanner, Conflict Blogger posted an interesting piece about changes the Israeli government may have made to certain Wikipedia entries. Though, I’ll admit, everyone and their mother has been altering the facts on Wikipedia…)

Also, our president recently increased the aid we give to Israel, adding up to over $30 billion in the next decade. Good to hear it — that way, if those d*mned a-rabs decide to act up again, we can fund the next war just like we did the last one. It’s okay though, Israel tends to put the money we give them to good use. They don’t misuse it at all. See how far our money can go?

And does anyone remember this from last summer?

Apparently not, or I’d think there would be more outrage over these recent developments. Granted, Sy Hersch is a little out there, but he’s also almost always right. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
