Ein Mah la’asot.

A rather pathetic lot of mohammedans have tried to hack the littlezionist. Had they managed it, they would have made an important strike at the heart of the zionist entity, a resounding victory in their holy war against the oppressors and the infidels.

These people … what can you do?

In a letter to parents, Ms Healey [headteacher] said: “It has been important to Birches Head High School that all students and staff have a pride in their school, community, city and country.

“Although our policy has been to not allow non-school badges and discourage flags unless in relation to learning, we are changing this policy due to it being seen as not supporting the World Cup rather than being in relation to behaviour and uniform.”

She added: “The World Cup is perceived in this school as a learning opportunity to support the development of citizenship education.”

I sent this to a friend and this is what he said: It is appalling: not just the grammar (which is disgraceful), but also the content. Horrible English usage, and horrible ‘educationalism’. I can’t say “to not allow” without grimacing. Although I believe that some split infinitives are absolutely fine and sometimes necessary for correct sense. Hers is disgusting and completely unnecessary.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. It is disturbing that an illiterate is responsible for the education of several hundred children. I may email this awful woman if I can find her address.

In case anyone had doubted the quality of Israeli pop … www.israelimusictv.com

The Yeshiva Boys’ Choir (under the pop section) are very cute.

“The reason behind this cycle is the continuation of the occupation and by the continued Israeli assaults against our Palestinian people”

“We say that ending this cycle and achieving stability, security and calm in this region is dependent on ending the occupation and the achievement by our people of their full rights.”

- Ismail Haniya

Could have come from any one of the righteous SWP types or foolish members of the great British public. Glad he got the solid ‘cycle of violence’ idea in too. With any luck those who still believe Hamas will become lovely moderates will start being sensible. I wonder how many will believe, or will go around repeating, the above sentiment. I will perhaps do a brief and depressing survey of my fellow undergraduates as they return in the next few days.

Here’s a link to The Observer’s interview with David Irving

David Irving is currently in an Austrian prison awaiting trial for Holocaust denial. In this interview he cuts a bizarre figure, described variously as ‘historian’, ‘boy scout’, and ‘neo-Nazi’. The interview leaves one with the image of a fantasist, an antisemite and a supreme ego. Personally, I detect a few echoes of the Galloway about him… “he sometimes throws all pretence of being a serious scholar away for a publicity stunt.” “Perhaps his last costume will be that of the court jester.” … We can only hope.
