Egypt has cancelled official New Year's Eve events in solidarity with the suffering of the Palestinians being "massacred" in Gaza, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily reported on Wednesday.
"In solidarity with the painful events in the Palestinian territories and the massacres which Gazans are faced with ... the ministries of culture and information have decided to cancel New Year's festivities," the paper said.
And:
Dubai's opulent, multimillion-pound New Year's Eve celebrations have been cancelled due to the Gaza violence, leaving hordes of expatriates hastily making alternative plans.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of the Gulf state, called off festivities late last night.
He said "all public New Year’s celebrations" should be stopped "in solidarity with the Palestinian people, who are currently enduring death, suffering and destruction in Gaza".
If Hamas and their followers hadn't decided to stage their own fireworks spectacular by launching hundreds of rockets into Israel Egypt and Dubai could have danced the night away. Go ahead and cancel your parties, but put the blame where it belongs.
And then there's this headline:
FRIGID NYC TONIGHT; 1-DEGREE WINDCHILL AT BALL DROPI'm pretty sure we can blame that on the presence of Hillary Clinton.
