Enjoy!Palestinian Nader Almassri, a resident of Beit Hanoun Gaza competed in the Olympic Games this morning.

I Didn’t Know Atlanta Was So Dangerous!
A sniper popped Georgian Television reporter Tamara Urushadze in the forearm live on television… a minute later, she continues with her broadcast. http://www.liveleak.com/e/606_1218731508 Will, you should recruit bloggers like this — cause I sure as hell wouldn’t take a bullet for KABOBfest.
Major Victory for Anti-Spell Check Activism
Yesterday, the AP reported that Ali Kordan – Iran’s new Interior Minister and Gulf Regional Coordinator of Fayyad‘s Anti-Spell Check Campaign (ASCC) – forged an honorary doctorate from Britain’s Oxford University to appear more qualified than he really is. Oxford issued a statement Wednesday denying it ever awarded Ali Kordan an honorary doctorate of law, [...]
RE-POST: Ignore KABOBfestWATCH!
I am writing this only because our comments section is being filled with publicity for a pointless blog set up by a disgraced former KABOBer, Buydatti. Now, he is blogging under the name, “Programmer Buydatti,” (the “programmer” moniker he stole from a Zionut commenter on this site — showing where his new allegiance is). He [...]
Awkwardness in Arabic Class III
Yes, the insanity continues ~ At this stage in the game, our professor adamantly believes that we should all be able to recognize every letter of the Arabic alphabet in initial, medial, and end position.

Hamas Unleashes Jew-Eating Rabbits
Fear me, for I eat rabbits and rabbits eat Jews. That must make me super anti-Semitic, right? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeii225G-HM] Actually, I don’t have a problem with the video’s overall message — given the context of the rabbit’s speech, there’s nothing inherently anti-Semitic about it. After all, we can’t hold Palestinian bunnies accountable for not delineating between [...]
Introducing Birthright Palestine
Ok, so they won’t fly you to Palestine for free, but it still sounds like a worthwhile program: Birthright Palestine. A project of the Palestine Center for National Strategic Studies, Birthright Palestine “is meant to gather first generation, western‐born Palestinians (over the age of 18‐years old) in their ancestral homeland, so that they can reunite [...]
Awkwardness in Arabic Class II
Remember when Will posted Awkwardness in Arabic Class — a KABOBfriend’s account of his first day in Arabic class? Well here’s his most recent submission, and it’s even more hilarious than the last… So I told you about my Arabic class and my crazy Egyptian teacher, right? Well get this… At our last class he [...]
Like Seriously, Thank God for America
While driving home from work today, I heard a really inspirational story on NPR’s “All Things Considered” about a U.S. marine whose dying wish was to have two dogs he found in Baghdad transported to America for his family to care for. Long story short, his grieving family fought against all odds to realize his [...]
