Most times, Nazi comparisons are usually tediously moronic. But then there are the other times. Via Hot Air, Hezbollah terrorists keep the old time salute alive at Imad Mughniyeh’s funeral: Hat tip: The Jawa Report, on a tip from Burning……

Will the media kindly point out who else used to do the stiff arm??

Why it was just passed from one “miliant” organization to another, that’s all. Oh, and don’t forget, one persons Nazi is another person’s freedom fighter.

The stiff-armed salute is the legacy of the cozy relationship between the Nazis and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during WWII. If you’ve ever wondered why Arab anti-Semitic propaganda looks similar to what Goebbels and co put out–that’s precisely where they got it from.

What better way to go into deeeeep cover? Blow up the office schmuck and call him Mugniyah. Then everybody wail and moan about the poor martyred hero.

Other than that, I really have no opinion.

The assassination of Mughniyeh is likely to lead to a major restructuring of Iran’s intelligence operations abroad, and even at home.

That means a watchful intel agency (hopefully ours) can pick off operatives like fleas on a hairless dog.
You can bet Mossad won’t waste the opportunity.

You’re not the only one to make that observation.

Personally, I think he looks like a fat, Moslem version of the guy who played Alex Keaton’s father on Family Ties.

Michael Gross?

No, I heard he went flying over the back fence and they called him Homer.

To confusion to our enemies.

Whoah, better take it easy. The room’s starting to spin.

Other residents told her that the bomb detonated as Mughniyah opened the car after visiting Iranians who live on the building’s second floor.

I wonder who they are and how they’re doing.

Uhhhh, YE-AH. Buuuuut….a VERY long time elapsed and a lot of tribal movement on both sides took place from the time ol’ Abe moved from Ur (in present-day Iraq) to Canaan, and then his descendants went to Egypt for a bunch of generations, and then back to Canaan, and then to Babylon, and then back to Judea, and then finally scattered to the winds and many other countries when Rome destroyed the second temple. Invading armies from all around moved people through that area…Babylon, Assyria, Greece, Persia, Rome…you’d think with all that movement due to war and conquest and defeat and exile all tossed into the mix, that the genetic mix wouldn’t be quite so close.

This is why I think the findings are so interesting.
Whatever.

I’m just glad the dude’s finally dead. We and the Izzies both owed it to him and I’m glad he got his due. Now I wish they’s permananently shut Nasrallah up, too.

Hezbollah soldiers at Imad Mughniyeh’s funeral. Really…….

“The study, published in the May 9 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that Jewish men shared a common set of genetic signatures with non-Jews from the Middle East, including Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese, and these signatures diverged significantly from non-Jewish men outside of this region. Consequently, Jews and Arabs share a common ancestor and are more closely related to one another than to non-Jews from other areas of the world.”

This has been known for quite a while. His name was Abraham.

May there be blood in the streets.

I was thinking the same as you. The victims did not react to the liquid being squirted, simply rolled over like a sack of potatoes then no sounds that I could hear once ignited.

I think I’ve seen paintings of him wearing a beret with a baguette under his arm off to make a deal.
