Blogmocracy In Action!
Guest Post by “Snork”
Yes, you read that right.
The following is the latest nontroversy from Haaretz -the most left-leaning of Israel’s English-language media outlets:
Egypt building iron wall on Gaza border to stop smuggling, which starts out with the opening paragraphs:
Egypt has begun the construction of a massive iron wall along its border with the Gaza Strip, in a bid to shut down smuggling tunnels into the territory. The wall will be nine to 10 kilometers long, and will go 20 to 30 meters into the ground, Egyptian sources said. It will be impossible to cut or melt.
The new plan is the latest move by Egypt to step up its counter-smuggling efforts. Although some progress had been made, the smuggling market in Gaza still flourishes.
Ahhhh the humanity, the “ethnic cleansing”, the “apartheid”, the “land grab”….THE SILENCE! On a different note, I have a couple of engineering comments: “impossible to cut or melt?”; my butt! Haven’t they ever heard of oxy-acetylene? Also, if you assume that it is made of 1/4” thick plate (it’s probably thicker), 25 meters by 10 km works out to about 50,000 cubic feet, or 12,250 tons of steel. That’s a big job. The steel alone is close to $10,000,000. I wonder who’s paying for it?
Anyway, on to the third paragraph:
Egyptian forces demolish tunnels or fill them with gas almost every week, often with people still inside them, and Palestinian casualties in the tunnels have been steadily rising.
You don’t say? I expect the human rights apparatus to snap to attention and start comparing this to the Nazi gas chambers. Anyone?…Bueller???…Hello?….Where did everybody go?
It goes without saying that if this were the Israelis doing this, there would be massive protests from the highest UN officials, to the lowest so-called “peace” or “human rights” activist. This silence, and hypocrisy is enough to make one question whether the human rights groups are really earnest.
It would be churlish to think that Amnesty International and HRW had an agenda that was anything but 100% altruistic. Maybe they just don’t know this is going on. Can somebody tell them? I’m sure they’d like to know, so they can bring this to the world’s attention. Can somebody also let the UN know? I guess they don’t read Haaretz for some reason.
I guess these nice people are too busy with all these human rights issues in Jerusalem, and don’t have time to read the papers. Surely, they have nothing but the best interests of these poor Palestinians in their hearts, or they wouldn’t be kicking up such a fuss in Jerusalem. So I’m sure they’d be astonished and appalled to learn what’s happening on the Gaza/Egypt border. Will someone please let them know?
This is why the UN needs a standing army. To move in and stomp out this kind of human rights abuse.
Imho there are two primary reasons for the bleeding hearts of the world ignoring this.
First it is not Jews gassing the palis, second that old canard of lowered expectations. Of course Arabs are cruel and murderous, its “part of their culture” and who are we to judge.
i wonder what kind of gas is being used?

Laughing gas. So they’ll have a nice day.
i guess its all muslim brotherhood and stuff for egypt until the get in the pocketbook…then its gas the palis!
Fuck that idea, the UN needs a standing army like you need a hole in your head (a very big hole I might add)…
@ snork:
heh…
but i’m gonna bet it aint laughing gas.
prolly cs
@ doriangrey:
Well, I thought it was obvious that was sarcasm. Wrath? Maybe a tag is in order?
If it’s impossible to cut, how are they getting the pieces into place?
Was the entire 10 kilometer wall produced in one piece?
@ coldwarrior:
That would be my guess, as well.
Although, in a confined space like a tunnel, CS is deadly. It displaces the oxygen.
@ coldwarrior:
co2.
@ snork:
I don’t know where I would put it where it wouldn’t look as if the entire thread is sarcasm, so how about a “(eeeh…not!)” at the end of the paragraph.
@ snork:
Gotcha, now with such apologies as required to any of our gentler members, if the Pali’s weren’t the second biggest douche bags on earth maybe the Egyptians wouldn’t be gassing them. And for gods sake someone please send the Egyptians some more gas…

i guess they have a very large continuous caster steel factory in operation at one end of the tunnel.
yeah, thats the ticket!
@ coldwarrior:
I want to know how the IDF was able to infiltrate the Egyptian Army, and force them against their will to follow orders to gas the Palestinians who were only transferring toys for orphans in Gaza, ‘the most highly populated in the entire galaxy’, for the upcoming holiday season.

Of course we will all starve to death , but it is for the greater good.
@ WrathofG-d:
You might find this amusing -- this article shows that we are building the wall for the Egyptians, but it was, “No doubt at the instigation of the Israeli government…”

The only thing that Gore had a hand in was in 1991 and the “Gore Bill”. As far as I am aware that had nothing to do with creating the internet. HTML was developed at CERN as well, the network protocols were created in the States.

Want to really gag, read some of the “enlightened” commentary.
CJ—- “The fact is that Al Gore has been really unfairly smeared by the right wing on this subject.”
Laughing at man for saying he “invented the internet” when he did not is not a “smear.” This guy is throwing up words at random, apparently hoping they’ll just fall into a coherent thought.
When it gets to the point that you feel you have to defend the idiocy of Al Gore to defend AGW, you might as well confess that you are running on empty.
@ m:
I just went over to check it out. Yes he’s serious. He posted a long comment about someone defending Gore’s “work” in setting up the internet.
@ Rodan:
Fake but accurate!

Just a couple of notes:
They will probably drive the sheets from the surface with a piledriver. That’s fairly routine.
As for the gasses, An oxy-acetylene system can provide its own oxygen, but it probably will make the atmosphere unbreathable for a while. A SCUBA setup would probably be necessary. Also, needless to say, there’s HUGE work accident potential taking such an apparatus into an enclosed space like that. Normal sane people wouldn’t do it. But people looking for the virgins probably will.
Now if Israel would just gas the Palestinians. Mustard gas would work. I’d even settle for a napalming…
(This is the kind of post an anti-Christian, ponytailed Global Warmist follower of the Gorecle would have deleted…)
(And do check out the hippie’s Ode to Gore currently at the top of his formerly great blog. I remember the Cox and Forkum cartoon about the Gorecle, and later one of them asking us to take down a characture of Chaz (a request we naturally complied with). I wonder what they think of the former Lizard King now?)
@ Rodan:
Well here’s the transcript where he made that historic statement, and here’s the actual quote itself:
@ vagabond trader:
I like this one:
I think we may be onto something here. Not only can we keep the Palis from smuggling explosives into Hamasistan, we get the added bonus of preventing our own “progressives” from reproducing.
@ Rodan:
O.M.G.
CJ is not only a general purpose idiot, he’s a techno-idiot. There are only two topologies for a data communication network, the existing phone system was built on one, and the internet on the other. If the DoD hadn’t have constructed it, the private sector would have BECAUSE IT’S A BETTER WAY TO DO THINGS!!!!
That’s leaving alone what role the profit Al-Gore actually did play, which is a separate argument.
@ WrathofG-d:
Darth Vader is a Palestinian? Or is he a Jew? Damn, but the world is difficult to fit into that necessary dichotomy…
{/damn, but you all know me well enough that this is unnecessary. Then again, the Hippy’s acolytes could be watching…]

I wa there when Gore did what he did for the internet. That makes me a founder too. In all seriousness, as a Senator, Gore recognized the potential for the internet, far before most of the rest of the Congresscritters did. So did friends of mine who were posting on BBSs at the time. Gore is a geek, like thousands of other geeks. That is all there is to that.

That should be the subject of inquiry.
Eric Segal the guy that wrote Love Story actually knew Gore Somewhat in college but had never met Tipper.
He denied Gores assertion , so Al just went on to lay claim
to the internet.

The statement “I was among the first politicians to promote the internet” could rightly be met with applause.
The actual statement, “I took the initiative in creating the internet,” while not as absurd as the legendary one, “I invented the internet,” should rightly be met with guffaws.
@ Iron Fist:
Crimeny. Dood’s hopeless. What does that say about his remaining minions?
@ Lincolntf:
Yeah. He can hardly beat the “Objective Scientist” drum when he is arguing correllation is causation. Scientists are supposed to be skeptical. None of the GoreBull Warmists can claim that with a straight face. They are about as skeptical as five year old little girls are about Santa Clause.
Maybe even less than the little girls, to give 5 year old little girlds their due…
Its the Tobacco companies again!

Because that goes both ways on almost every issue.
There are environmental lobbies just like energy lobbies.
There’s a lot of grant money, etc at stake for people involved in global warming studies, credits, taxes, (Gore has made a motherload of it), just like there is a lot of money at stake for the energy co’s.
Each side uses that argument against the other with the same frequency.

Gore might have voted yes (I doubt he remembers), and thus was a god. I’m real sick of Democrats who think that they are a god.
I wonder if the Palis are even aware that no one really likes them. They behave like such a hideous bunch of savages who could really care abt. them. They amount to little more than a prop or a tool. The only purpose they serve is to be used against the Jews by other people and countries. Egypt is gassing them in tunnels like rats. Israel actually treats these scum better than most Muslim countries.

“Real Scientists Are Climate Skeptics”
It is from the Earth Institute at Columbia University!
Right Chuck, a bunch of sneaky right wingers. Heck better to just believe you, you hysterical idiot.
Say this about the Egyptians -- they have no romantic notions about the Palis.
Considering that the Muslim Brotherhood (the assassins of Anwar Sadat) basically runs Egypt, and Hamas (the Palestinian jihad group) is a branch of it, I’d say this announcement is a lie. Not the wall itself necessarily, since it will be visible to the naked eye, but the claim this wall is part of a bona fide effort on the part of Egypt to stamp out the flow of weapons to jihad groups.

FYI, the link to the Ha’aretz article doesn’t work.

Thanks, Ma Sands!
Dont be silly this is only news if Jews or Kaffirs kill Mohammedans. Mohammedans killing Mohammedans does not spark the slightest bit of interest in the left wing PC MC Islamophile moonbat MSM at all. In fact Mohammedans have been killing Mohammedans since day one so its not news at all just situation normal.
The MSM is the same with Blacks Blacks cant be RACISTS even when they ARE its only Whitey who can be a racist surely you know that by now.
Apart from the fact that the Sun’s surface temperature is only 6000 degrees so to say the earth’s core is MILLIONS of degrees is insanity Al Gores stupidity is also that he keep saying that the Polar Caps are melting. He is HALF right one cap is melting while the other is GROWING so what is it al earth WARMING or Earth COOLING??? It is of course a NATURAL phenomenon and the Earth has been cooling and warming since it was created. In fact we are now in a very COOL period and the earth could do with warming some MORE to give us more plants. Ever wonder why the Vikings called Greenland GREENLAND moonbat Green NAZIS thats right it WAS a GREENLAND back then and no catastrophic floods either,
