God, guns, and...well, balls.

For those who don't know, Israel launched an attack into Syria today, supposedly against terrorist training grounds.

I'm watching CNN right now (Sunday night in Central Europe), and I can't believe my ears. The nerve...the absolute BALLS of the Israelis just never ceases to amaze me. Not too long ago, after Israeli helicopters had leveled several civilian apartments, I heard an Israeli spokesperson say "the disolution of the peace process is 100% the fault of the Palestinians." Well, just now, I heard something even more hypocritical...by quite a measure.

Syria, "concerned" that their nation was attacked today, called an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

Dan Gillerman, the Israeli ambassador to the UN, just gave an indignant press conference expressed his "horror and shock" that the Security Council is meeting on the evening before the "holiest of Jewish Holidays." Wow...that's some balls. Um...Dan. Sorry to point out the obvious, but it was YOUR country that launched an attack into Syria today. If you don't like the timing...well...yeah.

It gets better though.

He just said "for Syria to call a security council meeting is like Osama Bin Laden calling a security council meeting after 9-11". Holy shit, the way Israelis can say such things with a straight face never ceases to amaze me.

Israel, of course, has nothing to worry about from the Security Council, since they can depend on the United States of Veto to vote down anything that could be seen as remotely critical of Israeli action. An official spokesman from the white house towed the typical party line and said "Israel has a right to defend itself", and "Syria is on the wrong side of the war on terror." I guess "the wrong side" is the side on the business-end of Israeli bomb strikes.
