Michael Steinhardt Can Not Be Happy About This

Hot off the presses. Just a couple of hours ago, I visited a friend of mine at Tel Aviv’s Independence Hall who is staffing a birthright israel trip. That’s Independence Hall, the building where Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion addressed the nation and signed the Declaration of Independence on May 14, 1948. If you visit this site today, you can hear the inspirational speech he gave that very day.
Mmm…gives me chills just hearing it. I could have almost used a scarf. Or the next best thing, like A FREAKING KEFFIYAH AS THIS TRIP PARTICIPANT CHOSE TO WEAR.

Nice fashion choice, lady. Because nothing says Zionism like Arafat’s headscarf. At least I can “boast” that she was NOT on an American delegation.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go read “Exodus” once or thrice.
For more laughs, check out What War Zone???

I have heard that some American kids come on Birthright to support Palestinian causes when they are here. They take the tour, the free plane ticket and then they sabotage the people who gave it to them.
It’s true although I doubt it’s often. Birthright “un-accepted” someone when they found out he was taking advantage of the free ticket:
