You know, if those damn Jews would just take a clue from the peace loving Palestinians whose land they’re squatting on and start blowing themselves up in markets and pizza parlors to make their points, we’d take them a lot more seriously.
I mean, how dare they demand that their countrymen take their stupid religious ideas seriously?
Ultra-orthodox Jews clash with police.
(Oh, and those ridiculous fur hats! They should try turbans or table cloths, much more civilized.)
Remember, folks: This is taking place in Israel, where Judaism is the official state religion. It makes perfect sense to me that Jews should be able to impose their religious restrictions on public life there. Wouldn’t like to see it here, mind. But I live in a country where state religions are specifically prohibited.
One last thought:
Something’s nagging me about the photos on the original site. For some reason, most of them look static, staged, particularly the ones with protesters and cops. All very well posed, very well lit, good color, very clean.
I am not an expert, I could well be wrong. It may just be that the photographer was very, very good.
I hope I’m wrong. If these did turn out to be fake, it would hurt the Israeli cause far worse than worse fakes hurt the Muslims.
