Nicely done, HW. But I’m not sure how deep the satire in this post goes; is this part factual?

“the IDF has not demolished the homes of terrorists since the beginning of 2005, when an expert committee established by the ministry recommended that the practice be discontinued. “

[...] Haim explains that Ehud Barak is joking about demolishing the house of the deranged Jaffa Road bulldozer driver; Barak is surely too smart to be serious. [...]

[...] of the Palestinian bull-dozer-driving killer myself (which you can read about here), I refer you to South Jerusalem, for satire that gets the job done far better than I could. [...]

Thank God for humor in dark times. It doesn’t heal but it does take a little of the sting out of the suffering.

Would you really want Barak as a reader if he wanted to be? Of course, if he was interested in your views he wouldn’t be Barak now would he?

BTW, glad to see Gershom that you & I have each failed Barnea’s “lynch test.” We should put a graphic in our blog sidebars proudly hailing our failure.

No byline on this one. So who’s the one with the sense of humor? It clearly isn’t Barak. (Halavai.)

Pity that Barak has lost his sense of humor (together with his mind) some time ago.

Excellent. Its great to see a politician trying to fiand another way to break through. Humour is so underrated. Nearly as much as anger is overrated.

This blog has made a mark quickly. Great stuff.

Good one, and I can only wish it was true.

I don’t know if Hosam Taysir Dwayyat was “mentally deranged”, but at least the Ha’aretz writer gives a good impression of that state of mind. That’s probably why s/he only used the byline “Ha’aretz Service”.
