Mahmoud Abbas and the Caricature

Mahmoud Abbas is hospitalized.

But he reads the daily press.

Here he is reading Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda of yesterday:




Let's take a closer look at the caricature on the back page of yesterday's newspaper:



A real close look:




We all know what type of ideological hatred produces such images.

When he dies, I surely hope no Jew will say kaddish for him.

Seems Abbas might have done that pose deliberately.

Kaddish in a New Novel

Seems the first words of the Kaddish figure ion the opening chapter of a new novel, Beginner's Greek by James Collins:-

"You know, Sam," he had said hoarsely, "I have to travel a lot. The worst thing about it was always leaving her. But it was almost worth it because of how wonderful it was to see her again." Arthur had been unable to speak for a moment. "Now I won't see her again." He had looked at Sam and saw the loose skin under his chin quiver and his eyes, each studded with a mole at the lower lid, begin to water. Sam held Arthur's arm. "Yeetgadal v'yeetkadash sh'mey rabbah," he had whispered. "B'olmo d'vero keerutey." Arthur had not understood the words, nor had he fully grasped the significance of an atheistic Marxist's uttering a prayer, but he appreciated the sentiment.


And that should be chirutei.
