    Hilarious especially the “what’s your occupation” question.

  2. I “Liked” it (upper left corner)!

    It should be noted that this is a very old video clip. Tragically, judging by the statistics mentioned (Of Palestinians shot dead by Israelis) this clip most likely dates back to the early 1990s.

    “What’s your occupation, Mr. Shamir?”

    Ethnic cleanser.

    ‘No, Mr. Shamir, the OTHER occupation.’

    Oh dat oh dat okay teess mass-murderer.

    ‘No no no no, Mr. Shamir, the OTHER occupation, you know. Can you talk about THE occupation?’

    Ohhhh I see what you say okay okay I tell you what I learned. It’s all supply and demand – we demand, they supply. See now how it verks in our izzraeel? It’s mutual and mutual eez not occupation, okay? No occupation. So to answer your important question, I have no occupation.

    Curious about the TV show Spitting Image, I did a quick search online. The first result was of a Wikipedia webpage about the show.

    I clicked and scrolled down to “Politicians” looking for Shamir’s name. Nothing. Then I noticed the International Politicians entry, Shamir wasn’t listed there either.

    Then I asked my web browser to search the entire Wiki page for the name “Shamir”. Nothing.

    Israel’s lovers are trying real hard to hide criticism of his crimes.

    Now if someone tried to add Shamir to that webpage, the so-called ‘neutral’ and ‘objective’ moderators on Wikipedia will immediately revert that change.
