GILAD!!!!!!!!!!


He’s free and he’s home in the bosom of his family and his country.

Celebrate, Israel, with all the joyous gratitude that fills your hearts, as we all do along with you.

Then round up his captors, the slaughtering, death-worshiping, innocent-butchering, child-sacrificing savages who dip their hands in blood and use women—those who aren’t strapping bombs to their own devils’ spawn and sending them out to meet their seventy-two virgins by taking the lives of the school-bus-riding, heart-drawing, Transformer-doodling, homework-losing children of Others—and their offspring—those who haven’t already been pimped out by their mothers to the murder god—as shields, hiding behind their burkas and cradles like the unmanned animals they are, and throw them not into your prisons, where they can bide until they’re traded by the thousands for another child of Israel, but into the sea, to float there, food for sharks, stargazers, and whatever other oceanic carnivores God has put there for the purpose.

  1. In the interests of clarity...

    When I drop out the asides bracketed with double-dashes, I find your main paragraph reads as follows:

    Then round up his captors, the slaughtering, death-worshiping, innocent-butchering, child-sacrificing savages who dip their hands in blood and use women .. and their offspring.. as shields, hiding behind their burkas and cradles like the unmanned animals they are, and throw them ... etc.

    Are you calling for a specific small group, the captors, to be thrown to the sharks -- or the entire Palestinian population, women and children included, as many of your readers think you are?

    Since you quote Gerard Manley Hopkins in another post, I'd say you are capable of making the distinction between the two possibilities entirely clear for us.

    It seems to me that yours is a "voice heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping" -- Jeremiah 31.15, please forgive my use of the KJV -- and with that I can sympathize. But by now, surely, we are way past the idea of the indiscriminate slaughter of a people, aren't we?

    Or do you equate all Palestinians with the Amalekites, and take the injunction in I Samuel 15.3, "smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass" to apply to them, today?

  2. "Transformer-doodling, homework-losing children of Others."

    hipbone, what do you make of "Others"? My nephew was really into the Transformers, but not really homework-losing child. So the author is obviously speaking of multi-generations, i.e. leave it to Beaver to Transformers.

  5. Glad he is free. "Those who haven’t already been pimped out by their mothers to the murder god". Wow. Very poetic.Extended Auto Warranty
