"[JOKE: from the Latin jocus]:something said for the sake of exciting a laugh; a jest..." etc.
Always important to keep a sense of humor online and pick up on subtlety. BTW, the Knights of Malta do not have an actual military anymore - knowledge of this actual Catholic organization would have keyed one in on this and the nonserious jocular suggestion, phrased with tell-tale question mark. Lighten up.
Thank you for the lecture, I'll try to heed your advice.
In return, please refrain from joking at the gravesite. I understand that the Knights, of various orders, are a source of pride for you. For me, they are people who forcibly converted and killed scored of my forefathers, bragging on occasion that they had to walk knee-high in blood, poor wretched souls. And that is in Europe, way before they reached Jerusalem, where they burned alive a few hundred in just one synagogue. This all in celebration of Christianity that commanded them to love even the enemy.
The knights, your source of pride, contributed greatly to the atmosphere that ultimately led to the expulsion of Jews from France ---- of those who remained alive after forcible conversions.
So it comes to me as delightful, welcome news that, as you report, the Knights of Malta do not have an actual military anymore...
I have recently rejoiced in another piece of news: it appears that Hitler, who wiped out one third of my family --- I am quite lucky it is only one third --- does not have an army either. This allows me to lighten up, as you suggested.
P.S. Incidentally, please look up the Latin (or Hebrew) dictionary for the difference between blasphemy and a joke.
