re: #113 Jerusalemyte

Memri does good work translating the spew coming out of the Muslim world. Treating it as humor bothers me.

Humor generally comes from insight and that is good but it can also belittle real and LARGE problems. Brainwashing Muslim children is dangerous and the biggest threat to peace in the Middle East and the World at large.

Maybe this is the price that has to be paid in order to get wider exposure.

I’m still troubled. When It’s aimed at you bigotry isn’t funny.

I hear you. I really do. Please believe seeing the crude and evil Hamas cartoons makes me ill. However, the one thing that demagogues, tyrants and fanatics of all stripes can not stand is humor. Humor allows people to say truths that are not otherwise allowed, and it gets past all other barriers.

Hamas, at the end of the day are stupid and evil clowns. They really are pathetic, classless, tasteless, cheesy and evil. They are like deranged five year olds tripping on bad acid.

Just saying that is all true. But their supporters will take offense and yell and scream when they read such words.

Showing it to be true and laughing at it though… no one can deny that. Humor defangs the crazy urgency and false air that Hamas might ever have a point.

Humor is a powerful sword and shield.
