The Cardiff Palestine Solidarity Campaign said its petition, "It´s Not Unusual To Boycott Apartheid", had attracted more than 1,000 signatures. It provoked a sharp retort from Israel´s consulate in New York, which used the same song as the title of a mass email campaign, "It´s Not Unusual To Love

Wait! What? The world population is more than 7 Billion and these morons get excited over a measly 1000 signatures?

Welsh nationalists, like all other Celtic nationalists, are Commie scum. Though Plaid Cymru (the primary left wing Welsh nationalist organization) actually began as a "right wing," distributist, anti-Semitic organization.

PS: October 27 is the birthday of my favorite poet, Dylan Thomas!

In a town near Albuquerque
Lived a most concerned young boy.
He said :

Lately I have noticed
Folks don’t live with peace and joy.
With frowns and worries in their faces
They’re lost and don’t know where to go.
He said I’ll get the people straightened
By putting on a puppet show.

The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear.
He thought that maybe they listen to
A puppet telling them what to do.
And now he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer.

First he carved out young Abe Lincoln
Abe will teach ‘em civil rights
Then a King named Martin Luther
So they’d recall his peaceful fight

Old Mark Twain, his wit and wisdom
Will surely show them life is fun
But he smiled with satisfaction
When the Prince of Peace was done

The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they’d listen to
A puppet telling them what to do

You know he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer

Now his puppet shows were clever
And he made the people laugh
When he got across the message
To walk along life’s open path

They built him his own puppet theatre
Decked out with spotlights yellow and red
And then they wrote him up in all the papers
And this is what the story said

It said...

The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they would listen to
A puppet telling them what to do

You know he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer

I think the real question is why ANYone would expect a lady named Delilah would have been raised well.
