The Current Crisis

 By Susan Rosenbluth, Editor

February 2007

This June, while Israel’s supporters throughout the world will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, enemies of the Jewish State will be protesting the 40th anniversary of "the occupation."

What’s interesting is that both groups do it by planting trees. Jews have been putting coins in the JNF’s blue boxes for over 100 years, and, this year, the anti-Israel group, "The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation," is also raising money to plant trees. Ours cost $18 per tree; theirs are $25. When you buy one, they’ll even give you a certificate. Now where have we seen that idea before?

By the way, End the Occupation is one of the organizers of a massive protest planned for June, sure to attract a conglomeration of left-wingers and Muslims who really have nothing in common except their common enemies: the US, a few other Western democracies, and, of course, Israel.

We’re sure the shindig will attract the Neturei Karta-niks, fresh from their last gig at the Teheran Holocaust-Denial Conference, as well as a bunch of Jewish atheists who think that, when the final Jihad is announced, their presence at such a protest might spare them the same fate that awaits all infidels.

What might make things interesting is if a contingent of homosexuals were to show up, demonstrating, of course, against Israel, but also in favor of, say, gay marriage in the Palestinian Authority. As we understand it, the only occupation Palestinian homosexuals want to end is the Palestinian Authority’s preoccupation with murdering them.

While Americans are watching "24" and discovering that the sweet Muslim family next door can turn out to be pack of terrorists who think nothing of detonating a nuclear bomb, Canadians will be watching "Little Mosque on the Prairie" (really). It’s a sit-com about a Muslim family in rural Saskatchewan trying to cope in a post 9/11 world. "Hilarity ensues," says the promo.

Christians and other non-Muslims are stereotyped as extremist morons, and anyone who expresses reservations about Islam is portrayed as evil, ignorant, and bigoted. Police are especially vilified.

For example: In a scene at an airport, a Muslim is overheard saying into his cell phone something about "suicide" and "This is Allah’s plan for me." The stupid bystander gets hysterical, even though all the innocent Muslim said is that he doesn’t believe he is committing professional suicide by giving up his law career to become an imam.

It’s a regular laugh-riot, folks.

So was Hillary Clinton’s Internet announcement of her candidacy for President. Showing off her lessons at the feet of Jesse Jackson and, perhaps, Muhammad Ali, the would-be first Poetess declared: "I’m in to win."

Pundit Patrick Hurley said her couplet sent chills down his spine. Instead of Camelot, we can now look forward to Dr. Seuss with attitude.

Q: Ms. Clinton, you seem poetically confident you can win the nomination and defeat terrorism.

"First, Obama; then, Osama."

Would that it were only a Purim shpiel, folks.

Happy Purim, all, SLR
