"Our rule"? Who is we, you scrofulous little pissant? The Americans, a mostly Christian nation, are not ruled by either the Jews who are their citizens or by Israel, a situation that is just fine with all involved. Nor do Israelis aspire to "run these people", as you so revealingly put it -- have you even got so far from home as London, you ignorant, parochial clod? You are neither a Jew nor an Israeli, and if your father fought in Lebanon it was for the other side, although I doubt he ever got closer to soldiering than sitting on the next stool down 't pub. Blood will tell, as they say. I'm going to leave your posts in the sink trap, so that if one of our real Israelis pokes his head in, he can weigh in on the question. Gentlemen, I expect your responses to this stupid poseur to be suitable for the poison he has attempted to insert in Rantburg veins, Moby that he is.

#5 Any non-Israelis with an opinion on the matter should feel free to share it as well. I don't mean to discriminate on the basis of nationality in this matter.

#7 You can identify this particular Moby Dick, emphasis on the Dick, by the prominent hump on it's forehead.

#10 Note to self:
It's OK to knock Gorb off his bike,
It's OK to make fun of ARCLIGHT strikes,
But don' evah, evah, EVAH, piss off that lil'ol' Trailing Wife.
Evah.

#11 You wouldn't ever do that, dear USN, Ret. You are a gentleman.

Lotp, a definite improvement.

Barbara, you are, as ever, a darling. But the scansion isn't anywhere near good enough...I'd have to change the scrofulous for ~~scruffy~~ scrotty would do -- the same feel and the two syllables stressed on the first in the second line because of the impure...but after that it all falls to pieces, I'm afraid.
