Stand-Up For Israel?

My cousin Jerry Seinfeld

A certain Israeli comedy sketch quipped that “standing” with Israel sounds so tiring.

“Free Palestine” sound much nicer. Who doesn’t like free stuff?

Much-needed intelligent comic relief in a glut of MSM (main stream media) bone-headedness, such as “Israel and Hizbollah have been exchanging fire for eleven months” as if there is some kind of parity in this fight.

Maybe the AP, the BBC, the NYT and others don’t have access to Wikipedia?

Why only now when Israel decides to exercise its sovereign right of self-defense is there a call for a cease fire?

Question for your table: What does “I stand for Israel” actually mean?

It seems to me that it really means, “I stand with the Jewish People.”

It unfortunately took a pogrom of unmitigated evil and a 3-front war to bring us to this unity, but here we are.

Question for your table – Once the warring is over, what will happen to all the standing for Israel?

Shabbat Shalom / Shavua tov 
PS –  some more comedians: this onethese guys, and of course my cousin Jerry
