The Book of Netanyahu - Giraldi

 
"On the First Day Lord Netanyahu met with his faithful counselor Count Avigdor. Avigdor said, "O Lord Netanyahu, you must go even unto the land of the Obamaites to deal with their King. The Obamaites have rendered unto us their gold and precious goods in great abundance but now their King is seeking to treat with our enemies." Then Netanyahu spoke and his heart was full of anger. "Yea verily, we must smite them and also their wives and children and all that they hold dear. For even as we have smitten the children of Canaan we will strike them. They shall ken who is master and who is slave. Prepare for me my chariot of gold and I will journey even unto the land of the Obamaites with my host. Instruct our brethren in the land of the Obamaites to prepare for my coming with stealth. Organize them with weapons ready at hand and instruct them to deceive the Obamaites by declaring fealty and respect for the Kingdom of Obama so the King’s retainers will not fear them. When the King of the Obamaites declares his bad faith they shall be prepared to rise up and join us." And so it was done. Lord Netanyahu ascended into his chariot of gold to confront the King of the Obamaites and smite him sorely. And the children of Israel rejoiced."  Giraldi

Mr. Giraldi,

That was priceless. I believe you've outdone our worthy host in the matter of satire and beautifully captured the syntax and vocabulary of the King James Bible.

Would that the Obamaites could smite, both hip and thigh, the hosts of King Netanyahu.

You left out the Book of Mormon as inspiration as well as Tolkien.pl

Mr. Giraldi said: "The friends of Israel then rose up as one and with a mighty voice affirmed the wisdom of Lord Netanyahu."

During that speech to the American congress, Joe Biden began clapping when Netanyahu declared he would defy President Obama on the '67 borders.

It was shocking at first. But then I remembered Mr. Lang's anecdote about the Palestinian he introduced to Mr. Biden.

Have a feeling the VP's choice of light blue that day had nothing to do with party affiliation.

And surely from The Apocrypha too!

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap" leaps to mind.

Phil,

Bibi's actions show he thinks he's Divine in his own mind. Much to the determent of the world at large.

I don't know of Mr. Giraldi but I happened to read Deuteronomy on this point a couple of nights ago. Gosh his take was funny and "right on". The basic question, I think, is what does Israel want? If it is a return to the "land of Canaan...the greater Israel of David's time, then peace cannot get Zionists there. I could get into a biblical historical discussion about this but Col. Lang chastened another poster about wordiness so I won't. I say simply that If that is Israel's object then the question for America is do we ally with Israel in her objective? Maybe we should maybe we should not.
