They are really Jewish lizards, dressed to look like robots. Noe Brasil has told us so.

IDF used robots to fool Hamas

The IDF has revealed some of the tactics they used to fool Hamas in the recent Operation Cast Lead. Among the tactics were moving ground troops on a moonless night and off the main roads, keeping ground troops from penetrating too deeply into Gaza, keeping the media away and using robots dressed in IDF uniforms to flush out Hamas snipers.

Tell me, John Edwards, from your one eyed perspective, are the following “..further evidence that the IDF are racists with genocidal fantasies as well..?”

Note particularly the last paragraph of the article:

or rather proof of the madness of Hamas:

Or its blatant lies (question: what else is it lying about?):

One can be forgiven for believing that Hamas wants its people to starve

Since the beginning of operation “Cast Lead” some 6500 tons of humanitarian aid were transferred at the request of the international organizations, the Palestinian Authority and various governments. Now, how precisely can this be defined as “genocidal fantasy” on Israel’s part?

Since we’re speaking of racist truncations of ethnic groups, can I just point out there’s a Thai restauarant in Cannes called Chinks?

I’m not sure that’s such a useful rule of thumb: Canucks, Aussies for example are two perfectly acceptable examples of such usage

MORGOTH

We’ll, strictly speaking, Canucks ain’t really based on a truncation, although Aussie could be said to be. However, it *is* a rule of thumb in that it broadly applies. Neither of those are individual ethnic groups. Furthermore, they could be argued to be based on offshoots of Northern European culture and not subject to the same racist prejudice from it – unlike Pakistanis, Japanese, Chinese, Arabs.

Styrofoam cups, paper cups… they’re not proper weapons, so he won’t object.

Thanks Bissli – Interesting. My brother-in-law works in Bradford and one of his colleagues told him that he’d walked past that Starbucks on saturday and seen it smashed up with lots of upset customers amongst the debris.
Maybe not, although I can’t quite imagine why the colleague would make that up. Or maybe the T&A were there before things got nasty.
Balsa wood stirers are great by the way for making architectural models -I always grab a handful!
