Pundits rushed to speculate that the target was a nuclear facility. Syrian nationalists sat their brooding, upset that Israel can have its way so easily.<br /><br />Syrian finally got vengeance, in the form of a surfer.<br /><br />The world famous surfer Kelly Slater is so cool that his name combines two of my favorite <em><a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000AKY3Q.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg">Saved By the Bell</a></em> characters. He is the eight-time world champion of surfing -- which almost matches Nadeem's reign as universe web-surfing champ. <br /><br />But, this is why he's so damn cool. Check this out.<br /><br />The surfer goes to Israel-Palestine to teach Israeli and Palestinians kids how to surf (which will definitely help for future PFLP surfboard missions). It is part of the newly launched <a href="http://desertpeace.blogspot.com/2007/10/surfing-for-peace-in-gaza.html">Surf For Peace</a> program.<br /><br />Then, he is chased by Israeli paparazzi as he tries to get his groove on with Israel's second hottest supermodel, <a href="http://cosmetic-makeovers.com/files/posts/14067875_01.jpg">Bar Rafaeli </a>(behind the lovely <a href="http://www.smartbrother.org/images/20060114204710_bat%20geek640.jpg">Chaima Sugarman</a>).<br /><br />In true Arab form, Slater beats a cameraman's ass (OK, so he pushed him, but let's go with the Syrian version).<br /><br />Then, he gets the Palestinian treatment by Israel -- detention (minus the torture and home demolitions of course).<br /><br />The best part of this Israeli-punching, Hijabi-surfing, Israeli honey-stealing dude is that <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071020/ap_on_en_ot/people_slater">he's of Syrian descent</a>.Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04776960696689767044noreply@blogger.com
