Palestinian contributions to the world

Yesterday morning, I listened to Israeli Ambassador Dan Gillerman describe the terrorist attack in Jerusalem in which a Palestinian construction worker suddenly turned the bulldozer he was driving into traffic, crushing everything (and everyone) in its path.

The attack took place on one of Jerusalem's busiest streets. Ambassador Gillerman noted sarcastically that the driver "courteously" stopped to let a car pull in front of him, which he then ran over and crushed, killing a woman and her baby. In another car, a woman threw her baby out the car window before the bulldozer crushed her to death. (The baby survived, the ambassador said, but was "gravely wounded.")

According to Gillerman, the construction worker was an Israeli-Arab who worked for an Israeli Arab. "He took the bulldozer, with which he fed his own wife and family, and used it to crush other families to death, simply for being Israeli Jews."

Gillerman described the attack as typical of the Palestinian contribution to the world. Of course, the ambassador was angry (who wouldn't be?). But he went on to argue his point, reminding the audience that it was the Palestinians who invented airline hijackings. The long lines at airports are another Palestinian contribution to the world, said Gillerman.

The list of famous Jewish sports figures IS a lot longer than the list of Palistinian contributions to the world.

It is true. I can't think of anything positive Palestinians have contributed. And that is REALLY saying something. Even house flies make a positive contribution.

The main contribution of the Palestinians is the reestablishment of human sacrifice.

To be fair, the Palestinians invented ‘Muslim body amour’ - what we call ‘women and children’.

The baby survived, the ambassador said, but was "gravely wounded."

Actually the baby was completely unhurt.

1. Ample advanced rock throwing techniques

2. Various kinds of kitchen cook book explosives and rocketry

3. Green Helmet and Bomb Magnet lady apparently have an inter-diminsional inter-time line transporter tha permits them to be at all places at all times, so as to be photographed.

4. They have mastered techniques of media and liberal political manipulation that would make Joseph Goebbels green with envy. This is why bombing innocent Jewish children is the moral equivalent of bombing bombers who kill innocent Jewish children.

5. Really advanced photoshop and photo staging techniques that they have exported to other countries, like Iran.

Thank you, Alouette, it’s very good to hear that the baby was unhurt.

Excellent little satire by Hal Lindsey of WND!

Not sure if Green Helmet Guy can be “credited” as a Pali “contribution,” since we don’t know his precise nationality. (LOL!)
