Notes

Things of note in the world today:


Hezbollah admits it is aiding Asad massacre his citizens, in the name of anti-Semitism, err, anti-Zionism.  Says Nasrallah, "if Syria falls, Palestine will be lost."  I guess the best way to defend "Palestine" (I am using quotes on the basis of the argument, not disputing the legitimacy of a Palestinian state) is to slaughter every Syrian civilian you see, Mr. Nasrallah.  The Sunnis of Syria and Lebanon will not soon forget that Hezbollah has sided with Asad, and is actively shelling Syrian Sunnis.


As I correctly predicted, Indy bounced back in game 2 of the ECF, and there was no more emphatic moment than the ridiculous dunk in the GIF below.  Paul George BLEW BY Lebron, and threw down the Hammer of Thor on game 1 here Chris Anderson.  What a moment.  I picked Miami in 6, but already regret my cowardice; I think this is going 7 games, and at this point, the series is entirely a toss-up at best for Miami.



At the UFC 160 weigh-in yesterday, a scuffle broke out between Khabib (sounds Chechen--don't let him bring a backpack to the fight) Nurmagomedov and Abel Trujillo as Mike Tyson and Dana White looked on




Excellent article in Haaretz on the overly-powerful role that the Ultra-Orthodox, settlers, and rich people play in shaping Israel's policies.
