these are just some words that don’t even begin to describe these designs and slogans printed on t-shirts israeli occupation forces order to mark the end of their (barbaric) training /field duty. Here are few examples Uri Blau highlights in his article in Haaretz:
A sharpshooter’s T-shirt from the Givati Brigade’s Shaked battalion shows a pregnant Palestinian woman with a bull’s-eye superimposed on her belly, with the slogan, in English, “1 shot, 2 kills.”
A “graduation” shirt for those who have completed another snipers course depicts a Palestinian baby, who grows into a combative boy and then an armed adult, with the inscription, “No matter how it begins, we’ll put an end to it.”
A drawing of a soldier next to a young woman with bruises, and the slogan, “Bet you got raped!”
“We won’t chill ’til we confirm the kill” were banned in the past (the IDF IOF claims that the practice doesn’t exist), yet the Haruv battalion printed some last year.
“Let every Arab mother know that her son’s fate is in my hands!” had previously been banned for use on another infantry unit’s shirt. A Givati soldier said this week, however, that at the end of last year, his platoon printed up dozens of shirts, fleece jackets and pants bearing this slogan.
“It has a drawing depicting a soldier as the Angel of Death, next to a gun and an Arab town,” he explains. “The text was very powerful. The funniest part was that when our soldier came to get the shirts, the man who printed them was an Arab, and the soldier felt so bad that he told the girl at the counter to bring them to him.” honestly, so sad to have such job.
In 2006, soldiers from the “Carmon Team” course for elite-unit marksmen printed a shirt with a drawing of a knife-wielding Palestinian in the crosshairs of a gun sight, and the slogan, “You’ve got to run fast, run fast, run fast, before it’s all over.” Below is a drawing of Arab women weeping over a grave and the words: “And afterward they cry, and afterward they cry.” [The inscriptions are riffs on a popular song.]
Another sniper’s shirt also features an Arab man in the crosshairs, and the announcement, “Everything is with the best of intentions.”
“We came, we saw, we destroyed!” - alongside images of weapons, an angry soldier and a Palestinian village with a ruined mosque in the center.
A shirt printed after Operation Cast Lead in Gaza for Battalion 890 of the Paratroops depicts a King Kong-like soldier in a city under attack. The slogan is unambiguous: “If you believe it can be fixed, then believe it can be destroyed!”
is this how israel’s ‘basic law of human dignity and liberty’ truly defined? reminds me of how I loved LM’s post on israel’s Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty being filed in ‘Humour’.

you are not fat… in fact, you’re sickeningly skinny. you’re bones. no curves. nothing. you’re just sticks. and that’s gross. I haven’t hated in a while, so I’m here to hate skinny people who always, and i mean, ALWAYS are complaining about their weight. oh, I have to lose weight.! Oh I am fat! oh my butt is too big! oh, my belly is huge! oh, I should go on a diet! bla. bla. bla.
oh, I have an idea.. why don’t you make it a daily afternoon and midnight habit to order a f***ing quarter pounder with extra cheese, ok?! maybe then you’ll stop looking like a toothpick!
I don’t know about all those people out there …but I am the type who prefers the J Lo look to the Olive Oyle look, you know!
(p.s. I don’t think I’ve ever complained about my weight on this site. at least I hope not! haha! but I do have an obsession with one body part of mine!)
Baldat al-Sheikh Massacre:
January 30-31, 1947: This massacre took place following an argument which broke out between Palestinian workers and Zionists in the Haifa Petroleum Refinery, leading to the deaths of a number of Palestinians and wounding and killing approximately sixty Zionists. A large number of the Palestinian Arab workers were living in Baldat al-Sheikh and Hawasa, located in the southeast of Haifa. Consequently, the Zionists planned to take revenge on behalf of fellow Zionists who had been killed in the refinery by attacking Baldat al-Sheikh and Hawasa.
On the night of January 30-31, 1947, a mixed force composed of the First Battalion of Palmakh and the Carmelie brigade (estimated at approximately 150 to 200 Zionist terrorists) launched a raid against the two towns under the leadership of Hayim Afinu’am.] They focused their attack on the outskirts of Baldat al-Sheikh and Hawasa. Taking the outlying homes by surprise as their inhabitants slept, they pelted them with hand grenades, then went inside, firing their machine guns.
The terrorist attack led to the deaths of approximately sixty citizens inside their homes, most of them women, elderly and children. The attack lasted for an hour, after which the Zionists withdrew at 2:00 a.m., having attacked a large number of noncombatant homes. According to a report written by the leader of the terrorist operation, “the attacking units slipped into the town and began working on the houses. And due to the fact that gunfire was directed inside the rooms, it was not possible to avoid injuring women and children.” [source]

More than 640 have been killed over eleven days of israeli attacks on Gaza. More than 2,850 have been killed.
As many as 42 were killed when israeli tank shells hit the UN-operated Al-Fakhoura school in Jabaliya Refugee Camp, where Palestinians took shelter after fleeing their homes. [source]

Ridiculously outrageous, so I think!
You know what, it’s not even worth giving a full review. I was very interested in reading the book mainly because I read that it is autobiographical account of a highly educated woman, who taught at Ivy League Universities. I believed as her area of study being Anthropology - or as so she claims, it would add a lot of substance to the book for I thought she would historically link her own experience as a callgirl to culture and relate them to modern society . Reading her ‘autobiography’ was disturbing. It was very poorly written. The writing was choppy. It lacked smooth transitions. It lacked substance. It was utterly pathetic.
After I finished reading it, I found out that Angell appeared on Oprah where she admitted that she was not a university lecturer as noted in the book. The book which dedicates quite some heavy content about her students, the subjects she is teaching, her Dean, and the staff, she even tells us about her office, tests, bla bla bla. The truth is she was a High School French teacher.
From Social Anthropology and introducing a new course on the history and sociology of prostitution at some top Ivy League school such as MIT and Harvard to a High School French teacher. Doesn’t that say a lot about the book? I believe so. As I read on Amazon, “upon further questioning by Oprah–actually, it was Oprah repeating the same statement of “You did this to make yourself look better.” Over and over–Ms. Angell finally admitted that, yes, she kept the fictionalized elements in the book to make her look better.”
Well, well. And there we have a ‘highly educated woman’ talking to us about morals and ethics in her pages and wanting us to understand where she’s coming from when in fact her account is based on a big lie. I contacted MIT - the Dean of the Anthropology Department - they confirmed that no such person taught with them and no such course or even similar course was ever or currently is taught at MIT. The Dean of the Divinity school at Yale said he never heard of Jeannette Angell. How do you trust a liar? If a lot of what she says in her “autobiography” is just a mere figment of her own imagination then most definitely this book should have been labeled and marketed as just that - Fiction!!
I called her Literary Reprsentitive and gave my strong opinion about the lies decorating her so called true story and asked him questions for which he couldn’t offer me any answers as he was stumbling on his words trying to find something to excuse the big lies… I asked for my money back :D
I contacted her Publisher. They claimed that at the time the book came out, and marketed as a true story, they were not the publishing copmany. They instead gave me the UK based publishing company to contact.
Ok, I think I just gave it more of my writing time than it deserved.
From the first few pages, I was able to deduce that her story is full of bullshit, but still wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt.
What a low attempt at insulting the intelligence of your reader, Mrs. Con-Artist!
Every single day is living proof that people are the worst disease to ever plague planet earth.
Google Earth’s new mapping programme takes you on a virtual reality tour with the UN refugee agency of some of the world’s major displacement crises and the humanitarian efforts aimed at helping the victims.
Highlighted are not only the physical area of the camp and surrounding country, but key parts of daily life such as education and health in photo, text and video format. Within seconds, Google Earth brings the daily life of a refugee camp into your home thousands of kilometres away [source].
Well, whatever it was … it’s utterly outrageous… Palestinian refugee camps (27 that exist in occupied Palestinian territories with approximately one million people) are not included and wont be experienced in the ‘virtual reality tour’ … It is a reality … the refugee problem is a bitter reality that needs to be recongized the very least…
Please sign this petition asking UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to correct this mistake and add all Palestinian refugee camps within the Occupied Palestinian Territories to their “Google Earth Refugee’s World Layer.”
