Liberman: A festival of hypocrisy
2018-04-08
h/t Gates of Vienna
[IsraelNationalNews] Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman addressed yesterday's violent riots at the Gaza border fence Saturday night.

"The Passover holiday, which ends at this hour, was one of the quietest and safest we have known in recent years. Our preparations at the Gaza border have proven themselves, and the Israeli people owe great thanks to the thousands of IDF soldiers, Shin Bet and police officers who worked very hard and thwarted any attempt to challenge us," Liberman said.

"Hamas sends terrorists under the guise of civilians to attack our sovereignty, but the world presents this terror parade as a civil protest. This is a festival of hypocrisy. Over the weekend, Assad massacred 48 civilians, including 8 children and 6 women. The UN secretary-general did not call for a commission of inquiry, the Security Council did not convene, the Arab League ignored it, and the BBC, of ​​course, did not see or hear anything," he added.

The death toll in the demonstrations in the Gaza Strip against the security fence rose to nine Saturday, with the deaths of two of the injured, including Yasser Murtha, shot in the stomach near Khan Yunis and who Arab sources claim was a journalist.

A total of 1,356 people were injured, 35 of them seriously, according to a statement issued last night. 399 of them hit by live ammunition, 16 by rubber bullets, 143 suffered injuries from gas inhalation and 25 were struck by shrapnel.

Three hunters are out on safari -- an American, a Brit and an Israeli. They are captured by cannibals who start getting the cooking pots ready. The cannibal chief tells the hunters they can have one last wish.

"What's your last request?" he asks the American.

"I'd like a steak," he replies.

So the cannibals kill a zebra and serve the American his steak.

"What do you want?" the cannibal chief asks the Brit.

"I'd like to have a smoke on my pipe," which they let him do.

Then the chief asks the Israeli: "What's your last wish?"

"I want you to kick my rear end."

"Be serious," says the top cannibal.

"C'mon, you promised," says the Israeli.

"Oh, all right," says the chief, who delivers the requested kick. Whereupon, the Israeli pulls out a gun, shoots the chief and a few other cannibals while the rest run away.

The American and Brit are furious.

"Why didn't you do that in the first place, so we wouldn't have had to go through all this?" they demand.

Replies the Israeli: "What? Are you mad? The UN would have condemned me as the aggressor.

And the BBC will not see this statement, either.
