You can't target me. I'm an innocent, cuddly teddy-bear. I expelled those terrorists from my house. How could that mean old Sharon threaten me? I'm harmless!


Hi, I'm Arabear. You wouldn't hurt me, would you?

BBC NEWS | Middle East | 'Arafat could be target' - Sharon

Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon says he no longer feels bound by a promise to the US not to harm veteran Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

In a TV interview, Mr Sharon said he had informed US President George W Bush about the change in his position when they met in Washington last week.

However, a US State Department spokesman said nothing had changed in US policy regarding Mr Arafat.

Israel accuses Mr Arafat of supporting Palestinian militants.

Mr Sharon told Israel's Channel Two that in his first meeting with President Bush three years ago "I accepted his request not to harm Arafat physically.

"But I am released from this commitment. I release myself from this commitment regarding Arafat," he said.

Rebuke

Israel has killed scores of militants in so-called targeted attacks. In the last month, it has killed both the spiritual and political leaders of Hamas in missile strikes...

Ah yes, the "spiritual" and "political" side of Hamas. I believe that would be the granting of permission to murder and the sending of the kids to perform the murder.

But, under pressure from the US, it had refrained from targeting Mr Arafat - for decades, the figurehead of the Palestinian struggle for statehood.

The figurehead of the struggle for statehood. Yeah, and that head is the fugly face of murder and death. Nothing like holding the responsible people responsible. If this happens, I hope the right time is chosen for it - at least as right a time as is possible. It would be nice to see some proximate cause, that's all.

In the mean-time, expect Arafat to pose as Arabear in news stories world-wide, the innocent victim of the cruel Ariel Sharon.

Israel will probably get him winthin a monthe and then there shall be teddy bear insides spread across the desert

Did you Photoshop Arafat into the teddy bear? Is that a Solomon original?--It's priceless!

(If it IS your work, and you haven't promoted it shamelessly, for heaven's sake send it to LGF or to Meryl or somebody so it can get maximum play. This post is a gem.)

I did, and thank you! But I'm a bit shy about pimping my stuff. Maybe I should learn, though, but it doesn't feel right. I know people read this place. I figure if people like what they see, the blogosphere will propagate it, if it doesn't, well, maybe it wasn't that great. I dunno...thanks though! (Doesn't stop my readers from doing it, though! ;)
