OK, thanks. I needed that.
Stefan Sharkansky has popped open a "scandal" about comedian Jackie Mason canceling his opening act because the guy was a palestinian. Well, as Stefan points out, he wasn't just a palestinian. He was a palestinian with an atteettude (as they say in Philly). Since the spin is already in full gear, here, quick before it disappears, is a sample of Ray Hanania's "comedy" (thanks to Shark Blog reader Yair): Now is the time to forge ahead and demand even more. Now is the time for all Arab governments to severe [sic?] all ties with Israel, to isolate Israel again as was done years ago. To return Israel to the situation where it cannot be allowed to think that it can murder innocent Palestinian civilians and find territorial gains. Israel’s Nazi-like government must be shown that its policies of murder and executions and killings will carry a heavy price in future talks, and that all of Jerusalem is now on the table and that all of Palestine is on the table, too.Now is not the time to surrender to Israel and accept compromise.
Hanania is now crying racism and whining that all he ever wanted to do was "break the headlock of hatred that has gripped Palestinians and Jews."
Like the Sharkman says, "Now is that comedy, or what?"
