This week on Shire Network News we talk to Itamar Marcus of Palestinian Media Watch: he of the unveiling of Farfour the Genocidal Mouse.

In blog news this week we take the following post about Greenpeace building a replica of Noah's Arc from Tom's brother. May he forgive us.

Ace of Spades has a great run down of the miss-coverage of the Pew Research poll in the US and Meryl brings us some observations about a poll they did last year.

The full video report from which I took the soundbite about a Palestinian who would like Israel to rule Gaza again is linked to from Little Green Footballs.

The nonsense about the United 93 memorial can be found here at the Weekly Standard. Responses can be found from Kathy Shaidle and James Lileks.

Meryl Yourish is talking about France and Damian Penny is talking about Jerry Falwell. He mentions a post on the Jawa Report about Saddam and the reaction of the left which you can find here.
