Pushing Boundaries

I saw this here:

As a comic who also "pushes boundaries" part of the deal getting pushback. If you don't want pushback then don't "push boundaries".

The backstory is the reaction to a comic who slurred Chinese and gays and others.

His humor wasn't all that funny, it appears.

But I was just wondering, could I use that phrase on Israel's behalf?

Something like

If Arabs think they can push Israel's boundaries, they can expect pushback

What do you think?

“...these days, pointing out the obvious is
a risky proposition, as sundry groups allied
with Leftist, anti-religious or Progressive
causes tolerate only one viewpoint: theirs.”

“Much of that animus stems from the fact that
many Liberals have never forgiven the Israeli
people for embracing the Israeli Right-wing
coalition that Netanyahu now heads,
while the Labor Zionist movement that
Ben-Gurion once led became marginalized.”

Evelyn Gordon said:

“All other refugees worldwide are handled by
the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees,
which resettles tens of thousands of refugees
in third countries every year.

But Palestinian refugees aren’t allowed to
apply to UNHCR; they are handled by
the U.N. Relief and Works Agency,
an agency created exclusively for them.

And UNRWA hasn’t resettled a single
refugee in its 70 years of existence.

The only option it offers the refugees
and their descendants is eternal limbo:
awaiting a return to Israel that will never happen.”

“For several years, sharp criticism of the
Palestinians and their leaders has been
commonplace in the Egyptian press.

Now, writes, Khaled Abu Toameh, similar
attitudes can be found in Saudi Arabia and
other Arab countries as an increasing segment
of their populations sees Palestinians as
ungrateful for the financial and diplomatic
support they have received from their Arab brethren.”

Mr. Itai Reuveni of NGO Monitor said:

A year ago the world learned that Oxfam,
one of the largest international aid organizations,
had compiled a confidential internal report
documenting how senior Oxfam officials abused
their position to operate a prostitution network
exploiting underage earthquake survivors.

The report was kept from Oxfam’s donors —
especially donor countries—so as not to
damage the organization’s reputation.

Oxfam, by the way, was very vocal in
its demand for an international boycott of
Israel’s SodaStream over its “immoral”
operations in Judea and Samaria.

Professor A.J. Caschetta said:

“[Rashid] Khalidi [of the Center for Palestine Studies]
inadvertently admits that the Palestinian economy
consists almost exclusively of handouts from the
world, especially the United States and Israel.

Cash installments to the P.A. [Palestinian Authority]
are used to pay everyone from terrorists to counter-terrorists.

Israel collects taxes for the Palestinians and
supplies most of their electricity and water.

Many of the real job opportunities for Palestinians
who reside in Judea and Samaria, [the so-called
“West Bank,”] are provided by Israeli companies.”

The very first verse of the Biblical Book of
Kohelet [Ecclesiastes] says:

“THESE ARE THE WORDS OF KOHELET [Solomon],
SON OF DAVID, KING IN JERUSALEM.”


Obviously, this is an English translation of
words that were originally written in Hebrew,
the ancient language of the Jewish people.

Remember this when people attempt to deny
that Jews lived in Jerusalem in ancient times.

books and a Distinguished Fellow at

“In this universe of automatic virtue
bestowed upon anyone with a history

off the team, their privileges suspended,
all because of their ostensible White privilege.”

Bill Maher described the anti-Israel BDS movement as:

“a bulls**t purity test by people who
want to appear woke but actually
slept through history class.”

Bill Maher also said:

“As if the occupation came right out of
the blue, that this completely peaceful
people found themselves occupied.

Forget about the intifadas and the suicide
bombings and the rockets and how many wars.”

Abdul Hameed al Ghabin
[Saudi writer and political analyst] said:


“How can we achieve peace if the Palestinian
people remain without a place to call home?

The answer is simple:

Jordan is already 78% of historical Palestine.

Jordanians of Palestinian origin constitute
more than 80% of the population according
to U.S. intelligence cables leaked in 2010.

Jordan is essentially already
the Palestinian Arab state.

The only problem is, the King of Jordan
refuses to acknowledge this.”
