Go fuck a bison.

when people tell me their Jew, i respond, i’m not really Christian but i guess you can say that i am since you identified yourself as a Jew.

only me.
raZor!!

Yes TM, on rare occasions two wrongs do make a right. This was one of them.

In addition, Grandma wasn’t asking for the impossible.

What an entertaining post and comments. LOL.

As to the second paragraph, if she could just get rid of the camel, she could be a fine role model. That anti-Zionist guy deserved lots of heckling.

Funny, I guess I misunderstood your comments completely, since, to my mind, your criticism contained absolutely no psychological implications whatever regarding the relative culpability of the Camel Fucking Granny and the anti-Zionist Heckler. Instead, your failure to mention the Heckler in your comments seemed to suggest nothing beyond the fact that the post read . . . . “Go Grandma!” To me, it seems abundantly clear that your response would have had an entirely different focus if, for example, the post had read “Granny Abuses Innocent Peace Activist!”

As to Grandma herself, yes, there’s something amusingly incongruous about an old woman who lacks the tact, meekness, and inhibitions we typically associate with the elderly. The only problem with pointing it out, however, is that it encourages those who’d like to elevate her stature to that of a great role model and true national hero. What a shame she didn’t scream, “Go fuck your camel, sand-nigger;” then we’d know we’ve got a real tzaddick on our hands.

Furthermore, once someone insults you to your face, especially with a megaphone, while wearing a historically significant and highly insensitive “Palestinian Chic” Kafiyah, all “moral high ground” issues are moot, and justice, whether comedic or poetic, must be served. I call it “helping Karma along”.

It seems that some of you are more worried by what others, mainly “unbiased, impartial” viewers might think of all Jews because of the actions of one. I don’t think Grandma nor anyone else verbally or physically abused by terrorist sympathisers (whom in my opinion should be beat like dogs in the streets by clubs, or slippers; the preferred method in KSA) needs to worry for a millisecond what some third party might think of their actions. If these same Muslims with the megaphones or their supporters who would call Grandma a bigot feel that Islam and the Muslim World should not be stereotyped because of the actions of a few, then us Jews shouldn’t worry how Grandma is (mis)representing us as what is good for the goose….

Lastly, I agree with Laya and want to add that the mentality of some Jews (especially American and post-Zionist ones) to bend over backwards not to “loose the moral high ground” is very similar to Israel’s dilemma, when in reality, if every aggression is and had been met with full, unbridled vengeance, we wouldn’t have to deal with the same issues year after year, worried about being wiped off the map.

One more thing, because this Grandma issue really fires me up: My father, a proud and brave Zionist Russian American Jew in his late sixties is starting his battle with Alzheimer’s and is fueled by conflict due to his dementia. I’ve been watching lately as his disease has emboldened him with such gusto that he has absolutely no fear. If he was in Grandma’s position (and we try to keep him away from these “protests”) I believe he would have literally shoved that megaphone up that guy’s ass, and I would have cheered out loud like I did when Israel’s Ambassador to Sweden demolished that pathetic art installation a few years ago. Sure, he is playing with fire, but he knows his life is nearing the end, and I will enjoy watching him tell people who deserve it, to “go fuck your camel”. LOL!

And still, one should definitely refrain from overt camel-fucking references when speaking to Arabs or Muslims in order to be fair, to refrain from bigotry and stereotyping and also because one may lose the moral high ground even at times when the other side calls Jews names.

Suggestions that do not border on racism might include, “Go fuck your mother,” “Your sister is a whore who sleeps with unwashed, diseased men,” and the ever-pleasant and quite popular “You’re one fucking ugly intolerant bigoted motherfucker.” Notice, no camels? Hence, no bigotry.

Does it not extend into politics as well? Isn’t our low expectation of the Arab world largely to blame when human rights organizations condemn Israeli attacks but not Hezbollah’s? When overly PC Leftie organizations criticize human rights abuses Palestinians endure at check points and stay silent on human rights abuses Palestinian women endure at the hands of their men every day of their lives?

You complain about the unreasonable double standard that Israel is held to by the media and international community, but you yourself applied that same standard here.

And that, I think, might be the real danger of the media, that it has so pervaded our thought process that even an intelligent and critical thinking man such as yourself found the presumed Zionist’s actions condemnable while the instigators actions hardly noteworthy.

Yep. Why do we still have the Hizbullah threat? Because Southern Lebanon is still there. The North wouldn’t have been in danger had it been completely wiped out, wouldn’t it?
