It is with tremendous sadness that I announce the end of an era here at KABOBfest. Long gone will be our excellent photoshopping works and sub-juvenile humor (which he abandoned in late 2007 anyways).
Sadly, Nadeem will no longer be blogging with us. Though he left us on good terms, we cannot divulge the reason. Instead, we will offer you several possible explanations for why he's leaving the fest:
a) to spend more time with his family.
b) to join the Mitt Romney campaign as an adviser on Taybeh affairs.
c) to devote more time to important theological matters.
d) we voted him out.
e) he finally had enough of Fayyad's spelling errors.
f) the "Zionut" "MoFESTers" (both KF trademarks) drove him out with their endless stream of nonsensical apologetics and mindless talking points.
g) to work as Chaim Sugarman's administrative assistant.
We will miss you Nadeem.
Nadeem designed this poster for our 2000th post. For complicated reasons pertaining to the shortcomings inherent to our "Arab mind" (and a plethora of incomplete "DRAFT" posts) we could not determine which post was our 2000th -- so we will assume this one is. Enjoy this genius poster and share it with your friends, enemies, and frenemies.

Alf Mabrouk To Jackie!
Not only did homegirl finish the much anticipated documentary on the Palestinian hip hop scene entitled "Slingshot Hip Hop," but out of the record-breaking 3,624 submissions, Jackie Salloum's film was one of the 64 selected to be shown in 2008's Sundance Film Festival in January.
Hopefully, this will hold you over until then:
As for now, instead of twiddling our thumbs while we wait for a distributor to bring the film to our respective cities, I say we organize a KABOBvan trip out to Mormon land to show our support.
How does DC to Michigan (for old-time's sake-but, this time, Will, you can be sandwiched by two hormonal Arab men) to Utah sound? If we are lucky, we might be blessed with another Ann Coulter sighting!!!

One Pali Who Can Kick Your Ass
In 2006, Palestinian-born Abukhater broke new ground as the first power lifter to represent Palestine in the World Association of Benchers and Deadlifters (WABDL) World Championship. Lifting 407 pounds, he placed fifth in the world and set a new Palestinian national record.
"When I talk to people in Gaza today, they can't fathom that I'm a PhD candidate and a competitive power lifter," says Abukhater. "In Palestine, sports are not our first priority because of the daily struggle and limited resources. But we shouldn't let this hinder our spirit to compete and ability to represent Palestine in a positive way," he adds.
Brain and Brawn! Despite his achievements, as my aunts would note, he is worth nothing if he's not married yet. Speaking of which, I bet the Palestinian mommies are going to search for him on Arab Lounge now.

Will's Favorite Game!
Otherwise known as "Everyday in the East Village"
And, interesting enough, everything on this Bingo grid I have seen Nadeem wear or use. Well, everything except the tattoo of "a" star. He doesn't just have "a" star, but two representing his deep cultural commitments-a Wiccan Blue star on his right arm and a star of David on his left...The classic Jew Goth Hipster look!

Tarboush Tip To Jordan
It is not uncommon to frustrated with Jordanian politicians, I am so almost as often as I am with Palestinian ones. But this time, and partly for the sake of making Nadeem turn out the bad guy once more. I'm writing this post to show mad respect for Jordan.

Horn-Dog Nation: Israelis Demand Their Leaders Neutered
Fed up with the rampant culture of sexual deviance and excessive level of sexual assault committed by Israeli political and military leaders, the Israeli public took to the streets today demanding their leaders be neutered, literally, Chaim Sugerman, senior KABOBfest Middle East correspondent reports.
The massive rally took place after the media published reports that Tzuriel Refael, Israel’s ambassador to El Salvador was found drunk and wearing only bondage gear near the embassy’s compound recently, and the revelation that the brother of Israeli President Katzav is accused of sexual harassment.
(Although very drunk, Ambassador Tzuriel Rafael (left) was able to Identify himself with name and title, but only after a rubber ball was removed from his mouth--KABOBfest)
Many Israelis have complained that such a culture of sexual deviance is overshadowing Israel’s apartheid image. “We thought our goal was to mount the most spectacular apartheid experience of the 21st century,” said West Bank settler Joshua Zimmerman.
Zimmerman, 39, is an ultra orthodox Jew from Brooklyn, NY, who moved to settle on stolen Palestinian land near the West Bank city of Qalqilya in 1998 to join what was promised to be the “21st century’s greatest apartheid regime,” only to be disappointed as he found himself in the middle of a state that's more about “deviance and fornication” than oppressing Palestinians, he said as he recalled recent sex scandals from the president being accused of rape to numerous sexual harassment cases in the political and military echelons.
(KABOBfest’s investigator Chaim Sugerman uncovered pornographic videos and other material hidden in Mr. Rafael’s embassy desk, when reached for a statement, Niko and Nadeem refused to comment about their appearance in the recovered film)Yisrael Beitinu, an ultra-nationalist, right wing party created by Russian immigrants is dedicated to the true cause of Zionism. It has pledged to maintain the focus of the political discourse on dispossessing Palestinians of their lands and rights, and not allow Israel’s sex scandals to hinder their efforts. The party, whose name translates to “Israel Is Our Home” pledge to introduce a bill in the Israeli parliament, requiring certain level politicians, diplomats, and military personnel be neutered.
“You may think of it as a state-imposed vow of chastity,” said Avigdor Lieberman, Yisrael Beitinu’s chairman of his proposed bill. “Priests and monks take a vow of celibacy to ensure they perform their duties flawlessly, the only new thing here is that we are ensuring this vow is never broken,” he added.
It is believed that public officials elected to municipal and legislative levels and higher, diplomats at the level of attaché,
assistant to secretary and higher, and all military officers with the rank of sergeant and higher will have to go through the procedure.Zimmerman, however, an advocate of the proposed bill to neuter leadership figures, finds comfort in a new calling. He believe it’s the duty of the ultra orthodox –who do not join the military, and rarely assume official positions- to procreate at increased rates to make up for the deficit resulting from neutered leaders.

Dr. Nadeem Does Charity Medical Work During Mardi Gras
While the zionuts who always bash Nadeem were out partying, or settlement-building, on Mardi Gras, Dr. Nadeem was on the streets providing charitable medical examinations. He's just a good guy like that.

Saudis Have Too Much Time On Their Hands
As Nadeem seems to enjoy occuping all his free time scripting flowery odes to Egypt (not to mention occupying all the prime latest entry spots on the kabobfest site), why not give another Arab country some love?
Yes, I know, bad segue way, but check out these slightly bizarre, nationally celebrated Saudi past-times:
Why does Saudi male fun always seem to involve dangerous car tricks and/or ceiling fans?
