Kesher Talk

Bah. Humbug. Pt II. Oh Lord. The "nasty Israeli's have stolen Christmas" stories are starting again.

"At Christmas time we used to sell 10 cribs a week to tourists," he says. But tourists are a thing of the past here - no more gleaming coaches choking the narrow stone streets - only Israeli troops on patrol. The last crib David sold was to a journalist, and that was over a month ago.

So get rid of Arafat and Hamas already, you whiners. If you're afraid you'll be killed as collaborators for refusing to go along with the totally unproductive and immoral suicide-bomber campaign, then band together in a large group with your Peace Now friends. I hear you're at least a third of the Palestinian population, so get off your ass and do something about the antediluvian preening revolutionary posers who are ruining your lives. (HINT: When the US officially starts the war, don't side with Saddam.) If you work really hard at it, maybe you can have Israeli troops out of there and tourists back in by next Christmas.
