I mean, Jews all over the world, of course, are helpless before the new wave of New Wave anti-Semitism. Doesn't matter how long they have been established, how much they are integrated (as if Jews were ever segregated in the US) and how much influence and affluence they've acquired. One swatstika spray-painted (spray-painted, feh! Real anti-Semites use brushes. Spray-painted swatstikas always look anemic, spindly and nervous. Good brush-work is what puts the real swat in a swatstika, you know) on a Temple wall, and every Jew in town is supposed to turn in their Mercedes for a Masada! 'Come to Israel, where we can protect you, <i>bubele</i>!' the Zionists scream. But the settlers? Now they're a different breed! No problem with them as the naked, exposed point of Israeli expansionism. Sure, they could all get slaughtered if things wrong real badly, but hey, they volunteered, right? What a country!

Could have, would have, feh! I guess they wouldn't want me any more now that I'm old and out of shape. My vision isn't as sharp as it used to be either. I have let myself get to a point where I am no possible good to Israel. Well, I suppose I could give them money. Nah... maybe I better keep a-hold of it, considering the times.

Some outposts are even populated by IDF soldiers, so they can be rebuilt in a day, while throwing up a smokescreen to give Israeli enablers talking points alleging Israel is serious about uprooting the illegal settlements--I sure hope Obama sees past this smokescreen and takes advantage of his public pulpit to override our whore congress.
