Love Yehuda
In the movie "Exodus," (1960) starring Paul Newman, the Jews were called
"Palestinians" and the Arabs were called "Arabs."
Dennis Miller is a comedian who has a show called Dennis Miller Live on HBO.
Although he is not Jewish, he recently had the following to say about the
Middle East situation:
Here we go:
The Palestinians want their own country. There's just one thing about that:
There are no Palestinians . It's a made up word. Israel was called Palestine
for two thousand years. Like 'Wiccan,'(the worship of witches) 'Palestinian' sounds ancient but is
really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in the 1967 war,
Gaza was Owned by Egypt , the West Bank was owned by Jordan , and there were
no Palestinians.'
As soon as the Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as
basketballs, what do you know, say hello to the 'Palestinians,' weeping for
their deep bond with their lost 'land' and 'nation.'
So for the sake of honesty, let's not use the word 'Palestinian' any more to
describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at deaths until someone
points out they're being taped. Instead, let's call them what they are:
'Other Arabs Who Can't Accomplish Anything In Life And Would Rather Wrap
Themselves In The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death. ' I
know that's a bit unwieldy to expect to see on CNN. How about this, then:
'Adjacent Jew-Haters .' Okay, so the Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own
country.
Oops, just one more thing: No, they don't . They could've had their own
country. Anytime in the last thirty years, especially several years ago at
Camp David . But If you have your own country, you have to have traffic
lights and garbage trucks. And Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you
actually have to figure out some way to make a living.
That's no fun. No, they want what all the other Jew-Haters in the region
want: Israel .. They also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course that's
where the Real fun is -- but mostly they want Israel .
Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or 'The Zionist Entity' as
their Textbooks call it -- for the last fifty years has allowed the rulers
of Arab Countries to divert the attention of their own people away from the
fact that they're the blue-ribbon most illiterate, poorest, and tribally
backward on God's Earth, and if you've ever been around God's Earth, you
know that's really saying something.
It makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about
the great history and culture of the Muslim Mid east. Unless I'm missing
something, the Arabs haven't given anything to the world since Algebra, and,
by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that one.
Chew this around and spit it out: 500 million Arabs; 5 Million Jews.
Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a pack of
matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these same folks swear that if
Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone will be pals..
Really? Wow, what neat news.
Hey, but what about the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and
the constant din of rabid blood oaths to drive very Jew into the sea? Oh,
that? We were just kidding.
My friend, Kevin Rooney, made a gorgeous point the other day: Just reverse
the Numbers. Imagine 500 million Jews and 5 million Arabs. I was stunned at
the simple brilliance of it. Can anyone picture the Jews strapping belts of
razor blades and dynamite to themselves? Of course not.
Or marshaling every fiber and force at their disposal for generations to
drive a tiny Arab State into the sea? Nonsense.
Or dancing for joy at the murder of innocents? Impossible.
Or spreading and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread
with the blood of children? Disgusting.
No, as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst Jews
would ever do to people is debate them to death.
However, in any big-picture strategy, there's always a danger of losing
moral weight. We've already lost some. After September 11th our president
told us and the world he was going to root out all terrorists and the
countries that supported them.
Beautiful. Then the Israelis, after months and months of having the
equivalent of an Oklahoma City every week (and then every day) start to do
the same thing we did, and WE tell them to show restraint.
If America were being attacked with an Oklahoma City every day, we would all
very shortly be screaming for the administration to just be done with it and
kill everything south of the Mediterranean and east of the Jordan .
