Extra, Extra - Nazis will ruin the party.

Now that your interest is peaked from the previous posting you’re probably asking yourself, “What was in the paper the next day?”

This was the front page layout:
A big ass picture of Elie Wiesel addressing the special session of the UN General Assembly. A major article on the blood libel's comeback in Russia, though I wouldn't call it a comeback, it's been here for years. And, somehow, a major ad sponsored by the World Zionist Organization and the Minister for Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs. In it the nation is warned that "Antisemitism Continues to Sweep the World." It then urges the potential warrior of Zion to "Combat antisemitism today! Tomorrow may be too late." Information is then offered as to where a kit to combat anti-Semitism may be procured.

Hmm, that's gloomy, but what's really going on in the world?

I mean, sandwiched in between the blood libel threat and the big fucking ad is a small piece of valuable front page real estate given to covering Israel's Nuremberg style laws restricting Palestinian freedom of movement. And fuck you, I said Nuremberg style, anyway, Nuremberg was Jewish right?

Finally, on page 2 we get a piece on the rise in sexual harassment in the IDF. Of course, we're missing all the good reports on rape, murder, Israel's apartheid wall and all the other "color" that gives the modern Jewish state its charm.

You see, us Jews get to coalesce and comfort one another that it will be alright. We have suffered and that we will continue to suffer, and that we will do so together. It's a nice fantasy. It gives you that warm fuzzy feeling - like when you come inside after spending time in the anti-Semitic cold. How about we stop playing the victim and put some real news in the paper.

And for all you Holocaust buffs out there, you can still have the page before the sports section.
