The Arabist

The Arabist

By Issandr El Amrani and friends.

And now for some dark humor

Should blowing off little girls' faces be limited by international agreement? Aqoul gets hold of a leaked conversation by Israel and Hizbullah. My laugh-out-loud moment:
Hizbullah: Look this isn’t rocket science—
Israel: Actually, it is….
{Pause}
Mediator: Should we bring in the rocket scientists?
Hizbullah: Um, uh, . . . is there a . . . um . . . Farsi translator here?
Just read it.
