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.”

    “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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.”
