I begin with...
Israel politician uses the word "holocaust" to describe what it may do in Gaza (updated) I diaried this nearly a year ago- way before it became "trendy" to write I/P diaries. /snark
Israel warns of invasion of Gaza (BBC source on the subject)
We all know every country has the right to defend iself, so the question comes down to whether Palestine is a country or not, right?
In a way, the word "defense" conjures up pictures of boxing, with two men of approximate size squaring down eye-to-eye in a ring. Blows are traded and deflected in flurries as sweat flies over the riveting muscles of each contender's body.
So without further delay...
The promotor for tonight's fight is Don "Uncle Sam" King.
Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuuuummmmbbbbbbbbble as we knock it all down to ruuubbbblllleee !!
In the red corner:
With 191 wins, all by first round knock-out and 1 defeat in Southern Lebanon by TKO: The Champion, Mike Abraham Tyyyyssoooooon.
In the blue corner:
The Challenger, with 175 losses: Stewart "the Clawing Flying Squirrel" (who, however, hasn't actually been able to fly since his airport was closed) Ibrahim Jooohnsooon.
Referee: Can I have you come to the middle of the ring, please? So, I want this to be a good, clean fight. Stewy, I want you to listen to me this time: you only threw one regulation punch in your last fight that wasn't a low-blow and that involved you climbing up the ropes. Sure, only one of the other low-blows landed but it sure look like you were going for a real claw right at the family jewels. Yes, yes, I hear you- you always claim the same excuse- your little wee arms don't reach to your opponents midsection, let alone his head (this even though Mike Tyson is fairly short, by the way)... well good luck this time anyway.
Why does the little squirrel choose to fight the champion again and again instead of gathering nuts for the winter? Is it all just for the ratings? Maybe it's because Stewy wants his tail back- the one Mike keeps under his pillow? Or perhaps because Mike always chooses to wear boxing trunks made of real squirrel fur? (note: the claim the squirrel makes that it's his uncle seem a bit difficult to substantiate- the last journalist who who asked Mike about it got whalluped in the face and ever since Britney Spear's baby the story has died down).
In any case, some say it wasn't always like that and doesn't always have to be that way.
