Gee whiz...how pleased we are to find some arabs acknowledge the sanity that is Israel as opposed to the insanity of the arab countries; and oh my, they'd actually prefer Israeli rule as opposed to, hmmm---let's see, perhaps the rule of Assad.

Well, what about OUR PREFERENCES.

I, FOR ONE (OF MANY), am not pleased, and certainly not GRATEFUL to those (minority) sane Arabs who deign to admit the superiority of a true democracy and prefer to remain with the Israeli CIVILIZATION (carefully chosen verbiage).

NO, INDEED, I PREFER THEM TO GO BACK FROM WHENCE THEY CAME. FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBOURS. LET THEM FEED AT ANOTHER PUBLIC TROUGH. LET THEM REPENT FOR THEIR BRETHREN WHO KILL WILLY NILLY.

LET THEM EAT CAKE! AND MORE CAKE! AND YET MORE CAKE!
MAY DIABETES PLAGUE THEM AS NUMBER 11 AT THIS PASSOVER CELEBRATION OF OUR FREEDOM FROM THEIR ENSLAVEMENT.

LIKE THE BLOOD-DUST THAT BLANKETED MY HOME AT SEPTEMBER 11, LIKE THE BLOOD-DUST THAT SEEPS AND WEEPS AT THE PYRAMIDS, MAY THEY ALL WEEP, AS OPPORTUNITY FOR DECENCY SWEEPS AWAY. MAY THE ROCKS THEY THREW AT US GROW WINGS AND FLY AT THEIR HEADS, AND MAY THEIR BITTER WORDS TAUGHT TO THE CHILDREN, RISE FROM THE PAGES AND BITE THEM ...

MAY WE FINALLY KNOW A TRULY SWEET AND FREE PASSOVER.
