Karma? You're soaking in it!
Sometimes it's strange how seemingly random things with apparent thematic connections come to our attention within a very short period of time. Your rational mind tells you that the close proximity they momentarily shared in your consciousness was nothing more than a coincidence, yet...
For instance I was watching the news last night and was sickened to learn of a young Israeli who was gunned down by terrorist and yet another mortar barrage pounding the western Negev. And that amidst all these overtures from our peace partners, our leaders had finalized a list of 441 Terrorists to be released as a 'goodwill gesture'.
And then just as I was about to turn off the TV in disgust and close my computer before going to bed, an email from a friend popped up in my inbox with a very interesting film clip (click link to view movie).
Coincidence? I think (hope) not.

Oops is right. With any luck it'll keep happening and we'll convince them that they can't win for religious reasons.

Nice clip - I guess if you call someone's name enough times they'll eventually let you in.
:-)
There were several other drive-by shootings yesterday, including one only 2 minutes from our home. In one murder attempt, the bullet went through the victim's thigh.
You know, I think today's earthquake is now being blamed on illegal settlement construction. No surprises there.
Great clip, Dave.

Geez, dontcha jest HATE it when that happens? Stuff like that can ruin your day.
-----------------
Seeing this pretty much made my day, though.
I wonder, when they find the guy's head, will they just say "oh, he's unidentifiable, he's wearing a ski-mask?"
That is after all the purpose of the ski-mask, isn't it?

Blasphemy has its consequences. Now if this was repeated 100,000 more times all will be well.

How did that get on the internet? It's not exactly flattering to the 'martyrs'. But then these are people stupid enough to blow themselves up.

I somehow knew that that was going to happen. Whichever lowlife country is shipping them their weaponry this week, [rhetorical question] wouldn't it be neat if they all got defective batches and all blew themselves up before the rockets had a chance to go anywhere? [/rhetorical question] B'ezras Hashem.

Jack... Luck has never been something we could count on with any consistency.
yonah... OK, that wins the 'best comment of the week' contest! Oh, and yes, I also heard that 'the occupation' was blamed for the tremors. :-)
Back of the Hill... It is just chilling to see what kind of dedicated efficiency with which these guys go about their 'business'.
Allan... And if pigs had wings... :-)
Alice... IT seems that these scumbags like to video themselves being 'shahids' and doing 'holy work'. Unfortunately when something goes wrong (and if the tape/camera survive the blast) we are treated to a guy going to meet his 72 virgins. I hope he knows that it doesn't say anything about the virgins being female. :-)
Erica... Unfortunately they are getting pretty good stuff. From what I can see his mistake was using standard mortar rounds in a home-made launcher.

Reminds me of this joke.
When Osama bin Laden died, he was met at the Pearly Gates by George Washington, who slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!"
Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed."
James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, "This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!"
Thomas Jefferson was next, beat Osama with a long cane and snarled, "It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence."
The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist leader.
As Osama lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared. Bin Laden wept and said, "This is not what you promised me."
The Angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What did you think I said?"

72 virgins? That would never motivate a female. They must tell them something different. : )

Erm -- Allahu Akbar? In a parallel universe somewhere, maybe Allah was trying to tell them something...
