A Funny But Highly Accurate Take on the Middle East

The Weekly Standard ^ | 4-22-02 | Larry Miller

"Because if we're only willing to absorb their own words--nevermind their demonic deeds--he and his brethren have a perfectly uncomplicated point of view and agenda, and their clarity should give us our own clarity, and wouldn't that be refreshing? You want us dead? Well, now, isn't that a funny coincidence. Guess what we want? "

By the way, I nominate your reply for Post Of The Day.

From your keyboard to Gods ear my friend.

I'm a Canaanite and wish you'd all leave. I think my family owned 10 miles of beachfront.

I always enjoyed his "Five Stages Of Drinking (six if you live in a trailer park)" routine.

An interesting article.

But check out this bit:

[The Arabs]spread and believed horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children? Disgusting.

How much less disgusting is it to allege that it was widespread practice for ordinary Germans to turn Jews into lampshades?

The claim is completely over the top. It, too, is disgusting.

[Ditter]

Good one!

[Arioch7]

ROTFLMAO!!! TOO funny!

Alas, living in Mass, the people seem brainwashed but I know that my viewpoint is colored through "Liberal-colored," glasses so I relax a little.

There are many great Freepers who live in Mass. YOu all might laugh but imagine having to live behind enemy lines like this! :D

[cake_crumb]

Thanks for the great post!! (I needed that) BUMP!!

FYI.

[genefromjersey]

Can you say : SYLLOGISMS ?? ( Can I spell it ?)

[Howlin]

then a bunch of blacks from all over Africa show up to do the menial labor, then want to take over

..."call the white people racist who are denying them their rights..." <----------------------------you left out that part, didn't you?

"[The Arabs]spread and believed horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children? Disgusting"

Perhaps I misunderstood your reaction, but the Arabs have exhumed the old favorite of the ignorant peasants, about Jews baking their bread with the blood of children, dusted it off and then recycled it back to the ignorant peasants.

The lampshade rumor wasn't about ordinary Germans. It was about the ghouls running the concentration camps. At least there was a grain of truth to that, given the atrocities that really DID occur. There is NO grain of truth to the Arab propganda of Jews baking bread with the blood of children. Or giving poisoned candy to Palestinian kids. Or selling poisoned leather belts at discount prices to innocent, unsuspecting Palestinian men, thus making them sick. Or giving candy with razor blades. Or massacring 500 innocent Palestinians in Jenin. Or a hundred other Arab propaganda stories.

You're really good, Snake. That was very fine indeed.

I see your point of view. For an informative article, check the following web site - http://www.levitt.com/

In the left column, click on "Levitt Letter", scroll down to " April 2002 Newsletter", then click on the newsletter and read the article, "We have all been had!," By Sharon Nader Sloan, WorldNetDaily.

Palestinians are really Jordanians, for the most part, and Jordan was the original Palestinian state.

True, but not relevant.

Hussein, the previous of Jordan, massacred the Palestinians on "black September". Furthermore, Hussein also repudiated sovereignty over the West Bank in order not to have to deal with the population there, who became stateless. This touched off the first "intifada".

There is no place for these folks in Jordan, unless the monarchy is replaced by Hamas. I don't want that, how about you?

I wish I could take credit for it, but it is just more Larry Miller...the opening was left out of the posting so I cut n' pasted it in. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer that it wasn't me.

My poor scribblings confine themselves to sci/fi fantasy with apocalyptic overtones. Sort of Joe Johnstone meets "Vampire$" ala Richard Matheson. If I could write humor that well, believe me, I would. :)

[thucydides]

This article points up just how crazed the whole arab world is to be obsessed with tiny Israel, and pinpoints the real cause: the hatred and envy of the inferior toward their betters. This is why no negotiation or concession will ever make any difference. It is not about land, it is not about statehood, it is not about Israeli operations in the West Bank, it is about a deep sense of arab failure and impotence. This gives rise to envy, the most discreditable of human emotions, which seeks to relieve psychological anguish by destroying the good object that is provoking it.

The other factor in the dynamic is the equally bizarre focus of Western elites on negotiations, discussions, and attempts to impose a rationally articulated solution. This is obviously crazy in such circumstances, and reflects the liberals' erroneous assumptions about human nature and man's relation to society. These assumptions are so central to the liberals sense of self identity that they will never give them up, regardless of how disastrous the results.

The solution, of course, is war that eliminates the forces that are causing the problem.

[Thane_Banquo]

Yep. As Boortz always says, if it wasn't for Israel, the Palestinians would be the most hated people in the Middle East

I believe this guy could give Mark Steyn a run for the money.
