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
