Hamas MP: Pepsi Stands For 'Pay Every Pence to Save Israel'

Tue, May 6, 2008 at 10:38:16 am PDT

Here’s one of those bizarre Arabic clips that’s like a TV show from a parallel universe, where the rules of cause and effect and logic are ... different. Who knew that Pepsi Cola was a tool of the International Zionist Conspiracy? (Courtesy of MEMRI TV.)

Or maybe not. We are talking about people who strap bombs on themselves and blow themselves up trying to kill little girls.

PEPSI was trademarked in 1903. In 1903 there were 12 pence to a shilling, and 20 shillings in a pound sterling; thus a pence was in fact 1/240th of a pound sterling.

There are 100 "new pence" in pound sterling, effective in 1971 when GB abolished the shilling.

Yet another example to show this, ahem, person haz no cleu.

Funny, but for a long time, Pepsi refused to sell concessions in Israel because it didn't want to lose Arab business. Coca Cola did business in Israel for a long time (and I've got an Israeli Coca Cola bottle on my desk as a reminder) before Pepsi decided to start operating in Israel. Carl had more.

Even if PEPSI does stand for PAY EVERY PENCE TO SAVE ISRAEL one has to ask why does Israel need saving? Oh, that's right; the Muslims have been trying to destroy her for decades. And here I thought Islam was all about peace, love, and puppies. They have the audacity to complain that Israel shouldn't just fall over and die like they want her to.

Oh, I'm sure that they'll try. They'll blame the Administration's policies towards Burma as getting in the way of humanitarian aid while ignoring that the junta's policies did more to result in carnage than anything Bush has or will do there.

Meanwhile, MSNBC is now reporting that 10 million kids die worldwide because of the lack of basic health care. Unmentioned is that millions die needlessly every year because the econuts made DDT all but unavailable to control malaria - a scourge throughout the world that causes untold misery but is controlled easily with DDT.

And elsewhere, regimes routinely fail to provide basic health care and sanitation or downplay crises.

That too will somehow be blamed on the administration.

re: #187 Dianna

Best trick I ever found for introducing the puppy to the concept of the bath was to take puppy into the bath with you and make it play time.

A 12-week pup trusts you, and if you tell them this is fun, he'll believe you.


Very true statement.... only problem is.... I can't/won't get into the bath with them in the van..... the wife... (groomer) DOES make it a game and I just play with them and get dirty looks from her when she's trying to work....

My black mutt doesn't run, but, once she's in the bath and getting soaked, she puts on the most pathetic, "I'm an orphan doggy!" look you've ever seen.

Just don't try to use the blow-dryer, though. For some reason, that reduces her to hysterics.

And every dog I've met has mastered the 'Please, Sir, may I have more?' look when begging for scraps. Like they haven't eaten for a month.

The one that we have recently inherited has mastered the art of feeding herself in the middle of the night. Two nights in a row she has very carefully removed old plates of discarded wet cat food & empty cat food cans in order to throw herself a picnic on the sofa she wouldn't consider sitting on until after we are in bed. Last night she somehow managed to get the jar of peanut butter too, got the top off and licked it as far down as her tongue would reach. Also on the couch. Neatly, but on the couch.

Men become impotent because of women's low-cut dresses and bare legs

Russian physiologist Leonid Kitaev-Smyk has stated that most male diseases are caused by women who adhere to provocative clothes and behaviour. As a result, the Western civilization gradually turns into the society of sexually unsatisfied men and eventually unsuccessful and physically unhealthy men, the scientist considers.

Men become impotents because of women's low-cut dresses and bare legs

US researchers published results of their 30-year-long work. It suggested that 80 percent of men aged over 60 who died for different reasons had prostate cancer apart from other diseases. Every third American and European male aged over 30 has problems with potency and the prostate gland. The situation is quite different in the Muslim East. Arabs have the lowest rates of prostate cancer. Scientists considered that it depends on climate and meals and studied carefully the Oriental diet and tried to find any food with preventive action. They failed, although the clue is quite obvious.

Stay with me here.

I know the moron is blaming it on short skirts, right?

But wasn't there just an article published saying men that masturbate often reduce the risk of prostate problems?

So the real answer that is right in front of their faces, is not women's short skirts, it's the fact that Western men are not sexually repressed and have sexual relations with free liberal women.

Arabs, on the other hand, are sexually repressed and probably are serial masturbators.

No?

Check that article on who in what countries surfs for the most porn.

Ours is quite sensible about it. She will scavenge for the crumbs on the floor, but I've never seen her grab anything off the counters or the trash can.

Another case of ass alt and moon battery from our buddies captured by Mehri TV [Link: www.memritv.org...]

Following are excerpts from an interview with the Deputy Governor of the Salah Al-Din district in Iraq, Abdallah Hussein Jabara, which aired on Al-Arabiya TV on April 25, 2008.
Abdallah Hussein Jabara: You might surprised if I told you that after some Al-Qaeda Emirs were killed, we found out that they were not Muslims to begin with.
Interviewer: What do you mean "not Muslims"? Were they of other religions?
Jabara: Let me give you an example. I heard this directly from someone who left Al-Qaeda. He used to operate in the Al-Tharthar region, near Samara. He came to me after leaving Al-Qaeda, and he divulged a lot of information. I asked him why he had left, and he told me it was after the Emir married the daughter of one of the Iraqi fighters. Once they were married, the girl told her father that by no means could this man be a Muslim, because he was not circumcised. The guy said to me: "We examined [the Emir], confirmed this, and killed him." This is why I am confident this is true.
Interviewer: But what would make a non-Muslim... As you know, these people are motivated by Jihad. They go to Iraq to carry out operations. Otherwise, what is their goal?
Jabara: If you study the body of literature about intelligence activity, you will find that some of the agencies of the Israeli Mossad prepare people for decades to go into action one day.
Interviewer: So you claim that Al-Qaeda has been infiltrated by intelligence agencies other than the Iranian intelligence?
Jabara: Absolutely.
Interviewer: By whom?
Jabara: The Israeli Mossad plays a major role in Al-Qaeda. It uses many methods in its operating of Al-Qaeda. This is not the first time I am saying this, but...
Interviewer: We are a little confused here.
Jabara: Don't be. This is very true.
Interviewer: So the Iranians, on the one hand, and you are now saying that the Israeli Mossad, on the other hand... Is it conceivable that Al-Qaeda would collaborate with the Israeli Mossad?
Jabara: Yes, it indirectly collaborates with the Israeli Mossad, which guides it. Many of the Arab muhajireen who came to Iraq turned out to be non-Muslims. They were sent by foreign intelligence agencies that run operations in Iraq. I believe that the destruction of Iraq and everything that has happened there serve, first and foremost, the interests of Israel.

--------

Funny, you know most Jews I know about are circumcised. Maybe its a special right to join the Mossad, they graft your foreskin back on so you can slip into the infidels escaping attention... And Ah yes, that explains it. 9/11 was indeed a Mossad plot since they play a major role in Al-Qaeda. Perhaps even Ben Laden might me one...

The girl is not a puppy - about a year old I think - and about 80 big pounds, LOL. Tall.

They make "cat wipes" so that you can "bathe" them without the chain mail. Work pretty well too, as long as you don't mind a little exercise chasing them round the house and crawling under beds. Cats are as good at setting up an obstacle course as the Marines.

Ours is quite sensible about it. She will scavenge for the crumbs on the floor, but I've never seen her grab anything off the counters or the trash can. However, one day I caught her on top of the refrigerator, and the only way she could get there was by way of the counter--where she isn't allowed to go. Naughty, naughty.

We also had to get a breadbox. One of our dogs would prefer bread to meat, but it makes him sick.

This might clear it up a bit more:

To this day, Coca-Cola uses as an ingredient a non-narcotic coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey. In the United States, Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant.

Koran Kola has a better ring to it. Anyway, being named after the Koran, you have to have it on top of everything else, so its gotta be top shelf. Only problem is that it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth after you drink it. But just think of the possible ad lines "If you thirst for knowledge drink Koran Kola", "It just isn't a jihad without your Koran", "Koran the official drink of the hadj, made with the best Zam-Zam water (or sewerage from Gaza whichever is easier) available"

Don't forget about their Holocaust on a Plate program.

Or their "Daddy Kills Animals!" program (or its Mommy Kills Animals version)

This is the sort of stuff that simply makes it impossible to take PETA seriously.

They've discredited themselves to the point of parody.

My cat seems rather interested in tea, but I have not allowed her the courtesy of sharing my glass. As she has no front claws, she can do little damage but stare insolently.

A Cat's Diary

Day 183 of my captivity....
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal.
The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture.

Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. Today my attempt to kill my
captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs.

In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair; must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an
attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and commented about what a good little kitty I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed
in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my
confinement was because of my power of "allergies." Must learn what
this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches.
The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously an idiot. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of time...

A favorite example of that was when I took my two dogs home with me when my grandmother died. My brother and I got home from the service first, and this was a good thing. The trash was strewn all over the dining room. Guy dog was hiding (sensible fellow!), but the corgi of the time, Phaedra, came running up to us, dancing the "He did it! He did it!" paw scrabble, with a piece of foil stuck to her nose.

Interesting coincidence. I am reading Chantal Delsol's Unlearned Lessons of the Twentieth Century right now. A French agnostic, she argues that we must believe the truth of Genesis that man is qualitatively different and created in God's image. We must believe that even if we do not believe in God! If not, we have learned nothing from Nazism and Marxism.

"If humanity is no longer sacred, everything becomes possible, from hatred to mass assassination.....Late modernity finds itself in open contradiction with itself when it simultaneously defends human rights and rejects the transcendence of man in respect to nature.'

Hardcore Republicans Voting for Hillary in IN!

Operation Chaos.

The two precincts at Broad Ripple Family Center selected Republican Jon Elrod over Democrat Andre Carson in March's special election for U.S. Congress. But by 9 a.m., just 21 voters in one of those precincts had requested Republican ballots -- out of 168 cast.

And they will change back afterwards.

Trust me, in a climate where the Republican is a liberal, the angry Republicans aren't going to vote for a socialist.

I remember the Pepsi boycott, but what people don't usually remember is that Coke also boycotted Israel until the late '60s. Coke was introduced in Israel only in 1968 (A large ad in the Jm Post, early April '68, referred to Coke as a "recent immigrant").

The story behind the (end of the) Coke boycott can be found at Snopes.

Short version: Cairo civil servant accuses Coke of selling in Israel. Cairo Coke bottler assures Egyptians of boycott. Coke embarrassed. Americans threaten Coke boycott. Coke caves.

Pepsi holds out, ending boycott only in 1992, after Oslo.

Ironically, Pepsi respected the Arab boycott of Israel when it still in effect. Coca-Cola did not, and continued to sell in Israel.

But as long as Pepsi's "pinching every penny to support Israel" now, they're redeemed IMHO.
