Wow. That sure makes me want to get trashed, listen to the megilah, then throw up in the parking lot of the synagogue. Actually, it just makes me want to throw up.
A fun comparison is between this and the Dirty Kufar post below (Islamist Bootyhouse Reggae Takes UK By Storm). Of course, you cannot equate terrorism targeting civilians with legitimate or not-so-legitimate military tactics that accidentally kill civilians. However, the message of the two is basically the same. “You should support us; our violence is acceptable because we have God on our side and their violence is so much worse.”
Aish is more classy, with a more positive spin than al-Qaeda. However, al-Qaeda’s tune is much more catchy, and would have much greater appeal among the all-important 13-28 year old demographic. The fact that al-Qaeda video is attempting to recruit people to kill me (generally, not specifically) is also a bit alarming, and may prevent its widespread popularity.
Lisa: (Gasp) He’s gonna make a tuxedo out of our puppies.
Bart(singing): Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah.
Lisa: Bart!
Bart: Sorry. You gotta admit it’s catchy.
That was a great clip, makes me proud to be jew.
fuck all you jews, wtch your backs im gonna sucide bomb all of you fucks!
ooh. what a creepy comment. that last one. but then again, how could that one person suicide bomb all the jews? kind of ironic, as a result of anti semitism, the jews have been chased all over the world, and now this guy can’t get his wish. lol.
anyway, I’m not sure how “pro war” that piece was? I think it was a little “anti saddam”, but then again, he was a little “pro shooting scuds at israel”. The time of the first gulf war i think, wasn’t it everyone in israel had to carry gas masks on them at all times because of a 30 second or so warning period of chemical weapons waiting to be launched at israel? so they seem to be a little releaved that he’s been grabbed. don’t they deserve to be?
