(REDRAW)

(jpost.com)Following the release of thousands of Israeli credit card numbers by a Saudi hacker last week, an Israeli hacker claims he struck back. An Israeli, calling himself Omer Cohen, said Tuesday that he obtained and published the personal details and credit card numbers of thousands of Saudi Arabian citizens.
Last week, Saudi hackers claimed to have published the credit card details of 400,000 Israelis. Credit card companies said only hundreds of authentic card numbers were published in reality.
The hackers published the list of cards, names and other personal details on the One sports website, which was hacked.
The hackers published a 30 megabyte file containing the details.

Jordan Allows Hamas to Take Up Residence on Its Soil

wait till Jordan does to Hamas what it did to Fatah. Black September?

(AFP / Getty Images / Karl Vick of Time. h/t Bat-Zion Susskind-Sacks) Exiled Palestinian Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal addresses a meeting with some 40 Palestinian prisoners who were freed by Israel but are to be deported overseas, in Cairo on October 18, 2011.

In what sure looks like further evidence of diminishing American influence in the Middle East, the country that summarily ejected Hamas a dozen years ago is opening its doors to senior leaders of the group Washington and Israel regard first and foremost as a terrorist organization.
Jordan kicked out Hamas way back in 1999 under pressure from the United States. The Palestinian organization had been anchored in Amman, but was forced to move its headquarters to Syria, where it officially remains. Life in Damascus has gotten mighty uncomfortable over the last year, however. Though the Islamic Resistance Movement has tried mightily to stay entirely out of the conflict between the Syrian government that is its host and the Syrian people that government has been shooting in the streets, it has not been a terribly comfortable neutrality, nor one that reflects well on a movement so proudly grassroots. Quietly, senior Hamas officials began moving their families out of Syria months ago, and despite routine denials, the organization has been looking for a new home for its headquarters, too.
Jordan will provide the former, but not the latter, Prime Minister Awn Khasawneh explains to TIME in an interview.

The idea is not to bring them back as a launching pad for jihad against Israel or whatever. But as individuals they should be allowed to come back. I thought from the very beginning that their expulsion was unconstitutional and it was the wrong move from the point of view that it stands to reason that if you have many alternatives for as long as possible, it’s the good sign of effective diplomacy.

Amman, the Jordanian capital, already provides a place for the leader of the other major Palestinian faction to rest his head. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who leads the secular Fatah party, regularly sleeps in Amman while traveling in and out of the adjoining West Bank, which has no working airport. On the range of “alternatives” to resolving the conflict with Israel, Abbas champions negotiating a solution, while Hamas armed resistance. In recent weeks, however, as the rival factions have sought to reconcile, Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal has said the organization will put aside military means in favor of unarmed “popular” resistance, saying it’s the method all factions can agree on.
Mashaal, who was nearly killed by Israeli agents in a botched 1997 assassination attempt in Amman, will be among those setting up housekeeping in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, roughly half of whose residents are Palestinians who made their way across the  Jordan either in 1948, in 1967, or in the steady flow of “soft immigration” that has gone on since.
“We will be finding modalities to bring back members of Hamas and their families to come,” Khasawneh says.  “We don’t want them to establish another organization here.”
As a new site for Hamas headquarters, Qatar is the nation most often mentioned. The petroleum-rich Gulf monarchy is both a U.S. ally and a longtime supporter of Hamas, a duality that clearly irked the Jordanian premier, given complaints from Washington over Jordan’s decision to renew hospitality. “I know that some people in the United States are against this,” Khasawneh says, “but Qatar, a much more erstwhile ally of the United States, enjoys their presence without anybody in Congress saying anything.”

Wait... Qatar is a role model now?

Midnight In Paris is the ramblings of the unreal.

'Massive buzz': Pre-publicity for 'Midnight in Paris' has focused on Carla Bruni's big screen debut. The former supermodel is said to have a 'small' but 'respectable' part in Woody Allen's new comedy

...A “demented lunatic” could be a Republican. Allen thinks this is a big laugh line. He’s right! The tiny audience that will see this movie will laugh. They know exactly what to expect from an Allen movie and they come to have their prejudices reinforced. Almost like they’re ….closed-minded reactionaries.

ALVY: Boy, those guys in the French Resistance were really brave….
ANNIE: I don't know, sometimes I ask myself how I'd stand up under torture.
ALVY: You? You kiddin'? If the Gestapo would take away your Bloomingdale's charge card, you'd tell 'em everything.”
--Woody Allen, “Annie Hall”

(Barry Rubin)Unfortunately, most of the Western elite today — including Woody Allen himself — has failed what might be called the Bloomingdale’s credit card test. They are good at fantasizing heroism but not very good at doing much in real life. Their specialty is posturing against non-existent or ludicrous threats against which everyone they know is also arrayed. I can’t prove it but I sort of think they would not only have rejected joining the French Resistance, they would have been on the other side in order to keep their jobs and prestige. (How I Learned About Courage From an Arab Marxist and About Cowardice From Western Phony “Liberals”)

While the audience is forced to suspend disbelief for a time travel movie, it is the movies alleged present which seemed completely unrealistic. Allen seems to think a cockblocking Republican father in law is the biggest threat to his existence, when most of us are trying to defend our women these days from an international elite that would gladly harem our sisters, mothers and wives.
