If the "satire" had been ... the WTC would you think it just as funny?

As of now, maybe not, but at least by next year.

Unless there were additional attacks maybe? Hmmm?

And you think it should be any different for people who DAILY face the possibility that the car pulling up next to their bus or bus stop might explode? The concept of programming children (and oh yeah wouldnt it be funny if we made fun of the Israeli fear of innocents by joking about cats) TO HATE their neighbor and destroy themselves by sending nails and screws dipped in rat poison (just because an explosion wont kill enough elderly, mothers, school children and babies in strollers) into whatever target is convenient is good satire.

But then, that was almost a week ago. Surely the Jews cant still be sensitive about that, right? Why should the defenders of Israel get upset about ancient history. Besides its a fact of life (well not life, maybe) over htere and if the Jews want to live there thats just the way it is. Now why dont they stop making up all this stuff about terrorists and just leave, huh?

I'll repeat what I said earlier:

the intended ridicule is against Israels intelligence gathering and evidenciary exhibits, and its attacks aginst the harborers of terrorists, not the suicide programming of innocents.

The humor in good satire is in its recognizable truth. The humor from this British source escapes me as does most of the positions the British press has taken regarding Israel.

Thanks for explaining why I am laughing so hard. This one hits on all counts. The Israelis, Palies, and Cats.
