Just put a beautiful brisket in the oven, in a favorite Hawaiian marinade, for Erev (first night) Rosh Hashanah dinner, took a break at the computer, and found out to celebrate the Jewish New Year there’s a new calumny to rank up there with other lethal inanities.
Cannabis legalization advocate, Clare Short, former British minister for international development who quit Tony Blair’s cabinet because the UN wasn’t in charge of Iraq post-Saddam, consistent with her earlier stance for withdrawing from Ireland during its “troubles,” may have been on the weed when attending the anti-Israel International Conference of Civil Society in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace, held in Europe.
From the Wall Street Journal’s report:
Claiming that Israel is actually "much worse than the original apartheid state" [South Africa] and accusing it of "killing (Palestinian) political leaders," Ms. Short charged the Jewish state with the ultimate crime: Israel "undermines the international community's reaction to global warming." According to Ms. Short, the Middle East conflict distracts the world from the real problem: man-made climate change. If extreme weather will lead to the "end of the human race," as Ms. Short warned it could, add this to the list of the crimes of Israel.
I don’t know all these 500 scientists who’ve found global warming to be a natural solar event. Maybe Ms. Short will next charge they must be on Israel’s payroll or part of some such Jewish conspiracy to confuse delusion with reality.
Another commentator on Ms. Short, writing in England’s Telegraph, lists some of the other global catastrophes wrought by the Jews:
The litany of world conflicts and problems down through the ages that are supposedly due either to Israel or the Jews is astounding - the Black Death, communism, capitalism, World War I, World War II, the genocide in Darfur, 9/11, the Iraq war and the 2005 Tsunami.
My best New Year’s wishes to Ms. Short for finding sanity. Start by staying out of the maddening sun.
