Interesting interview with the brother of Yigal Amir who is still in prison. Apparently they both got on with the Hamas leaders in prison quite well and had a number of conversations with them. It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall.

1. It's funny how well opposing fanatics can get along.

I suppose it's because they see the world in the same way (from different sides of course) and everybody else thinks they are nuts. I suppose that is also why it is so easy for them to "switch" sometimes.

[pelsar]

3. its not surprising.....

all they have to do is switch few letter for their particular god and we'll wont be able to tell who is who.

4. The same old product with a bit of new trim. nt

14. Well, the universe is finite, so it's got to wrap around eventually ... nt

2. He should have lunch with Samir Kuntar

Or maybe pistols at dawn?

5. You know I like big swords in a dirt arena with loincloths.

And you have to sell tickets.

7. The cleanup after is hell, though n/t

9. "RELEASE THE HYENAS!"

I favor organic, low-impact, gluten-free solutions to messy cleaning problems.

10. I was thinking something more along the lines of Tibetan sky burial

and with luck a good portion of the 'prep work' would already be done, but your way works too

[bemildred]

11. Vultures! More respectful too I suppose. But it sounds labor intensive.

Can we get interns to do it?

[eyl]

15. I propose

A rotation of endangered carnivores

Kill two birds with one stone, as it were

[bemildred]

16. Yes, after all it's good food, why waste it? nt

17. Now that's cruel...

The poor hyenas would die of food poisoning!

[eyl]

18. Hyenas have tough stomachs n/t

[LeftishBrit]

6. Uggghhhh!

And I'm not surprised they got on with their Hamas counterparts - two sides of the same coin.

8. Interesting interview

seems this guy feels Israel's "right to exist™" hinges on its being a theocracy

[shaayecanaan]

12. Its refreshing honesty, when you think about it...

either the Jews are entitled to Israel because God gave it to them, or he did not, but if not, then as far as he can see they have no better right to it than the Arabs.
