Ahmed, the Middling Official Who Cried, “Ass”

It's not the worst thing that has happened in the long and bloody history of the Israel-Palestine conflict—several Israeli soldiers have been suspended following revelations that they had mooned some Palestinian shepherds.

The buttock-exposing incident was revealed when video shot by a peace activist became public, being posted on an Israeli news site.

The video was reportedly shot outside Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, where the Israeli soldiers were apparently trying to get some Palestinian shepherds to leave the area, where they were grazing their flocks.

The video, published on the YNet news site, shows two of the soldiers resorting to the time-honoured crowd control method of dropping their trousers and waving their bottoms around, while a third gives a victory sign with his fingers. …

“The Israeli society should be shamed by this footage, especially the families who raised such monsters,” Israeli Arab politician Ahmed Tibi said to YNet.


“Monsters?” “Really?” Unless they left out the part where the soldiers fucked the goats, killed and defiled the body of the shepherd, and pissed on his family when they came to retrieve his body, I'm going to say the slow news day has knocked Israeli Arab politician Ahmed Tibi off his A-game, forcing him to just phone his outrage in, because mooning doesn't come close to an Israeli atrocity worthy of the tag monstrosity.

That's too bad, because Ahmed Tibi use to be a player. When he use to point at monsters, you'd turn and see enormities of biblical proportions and scale. Now, you just see a couple of asses.

I hate to admit this, but if he does't start bringing at least his B-game to press conferences again, I'm going to start reading statements of public relations officials in the Sudan for my daily dose of outrage.
