Hail hail hasbara!

Academic Boycott Days from Dave Lippman on Vimeo.

This is great. Lippman passed along the lyrics, sung to the tune of “School Days,” by Chuck Berry. And it reminds us, all these folks so worried about the pain that academic boycott will cause (and it will cause pain) are overlooking decades of Jim Crow, checkpoints, apartheid, no rights on a racial basis.

Up in the mornin’ and out to school
Israel’s universities are the tool
Palestinian history, they give it a pass
Too busy with jobs for the army brass
Workin’ your fingers right down to the bone
To help control the occupied zone

Ring, ring goes the bell
Village kids are in the prison cell
Discrimination at Ben Gurion
Palestinian students almost unknown
Back in the classroom they cook the books
Apartheid don’t know how mean it looks

Soon as 2005 rolls around
They’re boycottin’ to bring apartheid down
You say they violate freedom of speech
But you don’t practice what you preach
Up to the corner and round the bend
Palestinian freedom is at an end

Set the campus on stolen land
This is where the seizure of Palestine’s planned
With the grants you love, you work for the boss
All day long Palestinians waitin’ to cross
Doin’ demographics at Haifu U
Better send some natives to Timbuktu

Hail hail brand Israel
Our prettier face must prevail
Long live hasbara
To fool the world is the holy grail
Look out, they’re callin’ us to account
Academic apartheid’s beyond the pale

All Americans need to read about the difference between Judaism & Zionism:

Maybe Cory Booker should be the first one. Followed by Harper, Obama and all the US senators.

Mount Scopus isn’t occupied,
Whoever told you that lied.
Land was purchased in World War I,
Before there was any “occupation.”
Lots of Palestinians go there,
Your pants are on fire and so is your hair.

During the 1948 War,
Arabs killed Jews there by the score.
The victims were women and men,
Non-combatants all of them.
Doctors and nurses who were on call,
All from the Hadassah Hospital.

Ring, ring goes the bell,
Nine people blown to hell,
By one of the terrorist brood,
Innocent people eating food.
That’s what happened in 2002,
A suicide bombing, nothing new.

Glenn Beck will “love” that song, just like he loved:

”Israel says it stopped al-Qaeda attack on U.S. Embassy”

Michele Chabin, Special for USA TODAY 11:51 p.m. EST January 22, 2014

Three Palestinians were in on the plot, says Shin Bet.

JERUSALEM – Israel’s internal security agency said Wednesday it arrested three Palestinians for allegedly planning to blow up the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, the Jerusalem International Convention Center and other targets.

The Shin Bet intelligence agency said the three men, two from Jerusalem and one from the West Bank, were recruited by a Gaza-based operator working on behalf of al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri.

Aviv Oreg, an Israeli expert on al-Qaeda and Global Jihad, called the thwarted attack “very serious.”

“It appears that this is the first time since 2001, when the so-called Shoe Bomber came to Israel to conduct reconnaissance for a possible attack, that hard-core al-Qaeda elements are involved within Israel,” Oreg said.

The security agency said one of the arrested recruits revealed that he was in the initial stages of planning twin terror attacks at the embassy and convention center, where U.S. President Obama spoke during his March 2013 visit to Israel.

The recruit said he was planning to travel to Syria to plan the attacks with other al-Qaeda-affiliated operatives who would attempt to enter Israel with fake Russian IDs.

The plan called for two suicide bombers to blow themselves up at the embassy’s entrance. At the same time in Jerusalem, terrorists planned to detonate a large bomb at the entrance to the convention center as people were entering, and another when first responders arrived.

Oreg said Israel would be particularly disturbed by the role of the Syrian-backed jihadists in the alleged plot.

“It seems that the three recruitees were about to go to Syria, where they would have been trained to construct explosive mobile devices and would be joined, on their return, by foreigners, who are attracted to the Syrian jihadi arena,” Oreg said. “This isn’t a lone wolf. We know what al-Qaeda is capable of, so this is a big development.”

If anyone believes this tale I have some time share in Iraq they can buy. The last thing Israel would do is stop anything that would get more US panties in wad over terrorism against US targets in the ME and Israel.
