Once, while visiting some close friends in my hometown of Buffalo, NY, we got onto the discussion of raising healthy children. I was a bit intrigued since their kids seemed happy but not at all spoiled. They worked hard at school. The older ones had jobs after putting in full days at high school. They even helped with cleanup and washing the dishes – without being asked! So what was their secret?
Both parents in a rather ho-hum attitude, pointed to a large sign that hung over the entrance to the living room. It had two simple straightforward words on it: Stop Whining!
“Whenever one of our kids would get in this blaming, whiny mood,†the mother explained. “I didn’t have to say a word. We’d just point to the sign.â€
“They know all too well,†the father continued, “that whining around here doesn’t work. It doesn’t get them positive results.â€
Today in the mixed-up world of politics, especially when it comes to Israel, the loud voices of a whole host of organizations do nothing but whine.
Let’s take the BDS movement first.....
Besides being racist liars, or ignorant at best, they’ve become card carrying members of the WCP – Whiners Club of the Planet!
Next on the list is Hamas and Hezbollah, who seem to have nothing better to do with their time than complain (and whine) about Israel. Every other day is declared an official “Day of Rage†or “Day of Hate†or “Day of Intifada†or “Day of Struggle†or “Day of Something But We Forgot And Who Cares Anyways!†They could fill up an entire calendar of “Days of Blaming Every Other Person on the Planet Especially Israel for Our Self-Created Woes.†....
.....
In the meantime… stop whining!

Whining is a particularly unattractive trait in ANYBODY. It does not induce sympathy, and it will not succeed in reducing the task at hand.
May result is a sharp fetch upside the head, though.
Do it, and shut up about it. Don’t do it, and shut up about it. Just shut up.
But why whine about congenital whiners’ whining. In the case of Hamas and friends, shoot them upside the head and they’ll be quiet.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
