Religion of Peace Wakes Up Grumpy

So its still very early morning in the Middle East, but it seems that the Religion of Peace has forgotten to put on its public-relations makeup this morning:

Libya, pissed off that other Muslims might find out that they are talking to the dirty Zionists, has officially shut down any contacts with the Israeli government:

An Israeli official said that Israel received a letter from Libya in which it states its decision to halt all contacts, reported the London-based daily al-Asharq al-Awsat on Friday.
The letter contained "strong language" and expressed Libya's anger with Israel over the leaking of information regarding alleged meetings between Libyan and Israeli officials in Europe, which Libya strictly denies, wrote al-Sharq al-Awsat.
A senior official in the Israeli Foreign Ministry told al-Sharq al-Awsat that Libya's letter was "a harsh blow to Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom's efforts to open a new chapter in Israel's relations with Arab countries."

Dejafoo political prediction - look for FM Silvan Shalom to get quite rightly blasted in the next couple days for bungling this. Everyone's busy blasting Libya for being duplicitous right now, but he'll get his. Seriously, can't this government keep the most basic of secrets? First it was the leak about the Iraq war, now this.

Iran has been cynically manipulating the planes that were supposed to be bringing them humanitarian aid in order to funnel weapons to Hezbollah. LGF has the scoop. Keep in mind that these are arms meant to kill the children of the Israelis who tried to send Iranians aid after the earthquake and were rejected for being too Jewish.

At this rate, who knows what the rest of the day will hold?

UPDATE: As if on cue, here's this morning's touching cartoon from the frontpage of the Arab News, (via Allah Is In The House, with more details on the incident from Jihad Watch):



Dejafoo will award a prize (although, you should know, not a very good one) to the reader who finds the most number of distinct anti-Semitic themes in this picture. The current number to beat is 4.

Are we biased? Certainly. Do we care? No. Do we like to throw the royal "we" around a bit too much even though we are only one person? Absolutely.
