by Bill Levinson Passover brings up the Ten Plagues of Egypt, which compelled the Egyptians to liberate the Hebrews from bondage. One of the questions that is not asked at the Seder, however, is why Egypt got ten plagues while Israel got Palestinians as neighbors. The answer is that Pharaoh had first choice. (1) Water turned to blood. Given the Palestinian propensity for mindless violence toward one another as well as so-called infidels, nearby bodies of water tend to fill with blood as well. Barack Obama seems to think that attending a Passover seder once a year will fool Jews into thinking he likes them. Forget that he gave massive financial support — not to mention weekly attendance — to a church whose pastor, Jeremiah Wright, delivers anti-Semitic jabs on a regular basis. Forget that his first phone call from the Oval Office after his inauguration was to Mahmoud Abbas, and that his first formal TV interview as President was with al-Arabiya. Forget that one of his top advisers is Samantha Power, an inveterate Israel-hater who recently said that the U.S. should be prepared to send in our military to subjugate the Jewish state and facilitate its takeover by the Arabs. Forget that whereas Obama bowed to the Saudi king, he treated Prime Minister Netanyahu like something the cat dragged in. Elliott Abrams, complained in Our Incoherence in the Face of Brutality that The administration that said Ben Ali must go, then said Mubarak must go, and keeps saying Qaddafi must go cannot find a basis for saying that Asad must go. and then pointed out Beyond human rights, we have significant national-security interests in the demise of the Asad regime. It remains Iran’s only Arab ally, able and willing to trans-ship arms to Hezbollah and through Hezbollah control Lebanon and give Iran a border with Israel. The demise of Asad would mean a tremendous setback for the ayatollahs, and second only to the fall of the Islamic Republic would be a great gain for the United States in the Middle East. The sense throughout the Middle East that Iran has been growing in influence in the last decade, and that the “Arab Spring” brought it more opportunities, would be erased by the fall of Iran’s allies in Damascus.
Palestinians versus the Ten Plagues
(2) Frogs just croak, but Palestinians croak Israeli athletes at Munich, school children at Ma’alot, and senior citizens on the Achille Lauro.
(3) Lice or gnats are annoying but not deadly, unlike Qassam and other rockets
(4) Flies tend to gather on the bodies of Palestinian lynching victims.
(5) Disease of livestock is preferable to Palestinians who just kill every living thing in sight.
(6) Boils are definitely preferable to the injuries caused by Palestinian nail bombs,...West: Obama slaps Israel in the face…on Passover.
