Careful Laura, they’ll be proscribing satire next.

I heard a rumour that murderers don't understand satire

Definitely not! It is part of the uniform of genocidal murderers that they have their sense of humour and appreciation of satire surgically removed at birth!

Be careful! That could be a really prophetic utterance and definitely not outside the bounds of reality!

Take heart, at least they're reading something informative. In the US, one is deemed a terrorist for "airing" disagreement via Subway sandwich.

The bast@rds have already killed satire by forcing us to live it in real life.

Would it be an offence to show support for Sally Rooney's support of PA? In other words, I would support Sally Rooney's support of Palestine Action but not PA directly? I guess Cooper would need to consult her Lobby handler on that one.

Would it be an offence if I show support for you in your support for Sally Rooney's support of PA? Yvette Cooper's going to need a Soothsayer to consult with her Lobby handler before either of them consult with her . . .

Pity Palestine Action and Palestinian Authority are both the acronym PA!

My understanding is that Palestinian Authority conspires with Israel to keep Palestinians in line, even killing them to stay “good” with 🇮🇱 !

Unfortunately Palestinians are squeezed between the genocidal viciousness of 🇮🇱 and the blatant corruption of the Palestinian Authority.

Who BTW, Hamas was democratically elected (verified by international observers at the time, including the Carter Centre) to overcome !!!

Liberating 7M Palestinians is only the FIRST step, the second being overcoming rampant corruption and collaboration with 🇮🇱 !!!

Palestinian Authority have even been providing 🇮🇱 targeting information for killing other Palestinians 😡

Netanyahu even supported/secretly funded Hamas in its early days to sow division and disrupt Fatah's move towards a peace deal. Hamas knows Netanyahu's endgame, so, of course, it has no other option other than to gamble on the West finally reaching a point where the horror brings the Zionist regime to heel. As if we've not reached that point already.

But even if there is ANY kind of Palestinian State formed (which there was before 1948 and before the British Protectorate), it will be severely subjugated/throttled by 🇮🇱. So only viable resolution is ONE state, and not an Apartheid one! Any hope?

Israel is a Frankenstein project that its assorted backers have lost control of and are unable to reign in. Toss up whether it changes from internal revolt within or from the collapse of support externally, but there is no way that current regime can survive without ultimately imploding. What happens thereafter will involve the criminal courts.

New T shirt 'P.A forever!'

When interviewed by a Sergeant from Twat Valley Police, here are some options:...

(In my case, 'It's my name Philippa Anne')

For all you less fortunate bearers of other names, I follow a blog by someone called PA; I once heard that the Palestinian Authority opposes Hamas, I hate Hamas!'. It's a tribute to Philosophical Acumen'(That'll silence em!) 'What do you mean, Palestine Action? How can they act when they're all dead or soon will be'...etc

Ah well. We play cat's cradle with silliness when nothing else is on offer. Satire and silliness Laura K does one, leaves PA with the other! S&S saves the day! Does anyone know the latest on the bunfight at the WH corral?... I heard Putin wants security guarantees!? Well, why not? They're selling 2for1 at 7/11 and the IDF are dropping them on Gaza before the next bombing raid....

Another one for Cooper and her Lobby handler - could I possibly get away with the Hebrew version, given the Hebrew term for 'Palestine' is evidently different to the Latin term: פלסטין אקשן ? (cue Met police hurriedly being given Hebrew lessons)

Do it! When she refused to allow an Israeli company to translate her book “Beautiful World, Where are You”, I went right out and bought it. Now I have to buy more. Good stuff. (It’s about young people. Made me feel young again.)

I saw a woman eating a sandwich in the park this morning, and I thought: 'That's a bit antisemitic isn't it?'

Philippa Rees's avatar

Was it unkosher ham? What? In public?! Definitely AS.

Dezza's avatar

No no no! I KNEW someone would jump to that obvious conclusion! It was just a cheese sandwich. A cheese sandwich. An antisemitic cheese sandwich.

Expand full comment
Philippa Rees's avatar

Cheese is definitely more AS than improperly slaughtered ham! Cheese has travelled through the wrong fridge, been seen cavorting on a counter with pastrami, and may even have been packed by a goyim, maybe even a female whose uncircumcised husband has never been seen at Schule. How dare you exonerate cheese!

Dezza's avatar

No no no! Hahaha you're completely missing the point here! She was eating an antisemitic cheese sandwich, that's ALL. The park bench she was sitting on was antisemitic. Her pet dog was antisemitic. The weather was antisemitic. Ok?

I think this matter of fact way of describing the Mass formation and psychosis which is evident in favour of genocide now is valuable. We live in a world of reversed meanings . No- one really believed that Orwell's dictums would become a matter of fact zeigeist - as in Big Brother but they have. People must realise that we have rapidly advanced into the totatitarian world where many of us will be disposed of. This is war and it is obvious what we must do and why so many of us will be disposed of. . The Zionists can do what we can not even say . The only return to sanity can be after the vapourisation of the disease and the dismantling of all institutions which siupported the malady. This will be brootality*and violets* Older men must appear at the front line now .Boomers did not escape a war after all.

Just a historical note: We Boomers did not escape a war. One of my good friends from high school was killed in Vietnam, a former boyfriend was in combat there and was horribly traumatized, others I knew only “escaped” by leaving the country or going to jail, and most of the other men I knew, including my brother, lived in fear of the draft. None of these went willingly. And many of those who remained, as well as us women, participated in protests, often being brutalized by police or “patriotic” bystanders.

Just like today, the mainstream media wrote most of us out of history. Like Sally Rooney and the pensioners, we were “terrorists”.

I have sent small donations to a wonderful UK organization, Protect the Wild, and will do it again when I can afford it. That means I’m a foreign donor! Are they ever in trouble now!

Sally writes great books and has everything we love and respect from the best of the Irish. She should be an inspiration to all writers- especially the big names. Palestine's tragedy is the biggest issue for play, novel, film or opera today. And pledging royalties to help Palestinians reminds us that evil cannot triumph totally.

Sally Rooney also didn't agree that her books be translated to Hebrew, if I remember correctly.

She was fine with them being translated to Hebrew, but when her publisher switched the translation contract to an Israeli company, she refused to allow it.

And there was me thinking that PALESTINE ACTION didn't actually exist as an organisation anymore, so pretty difficult to legally or illegally support it, eh?
