#1 Finacial war reparations in the name of 'The Environment'.
The global socialists will do anything to exercise power, especially at Israels expense.

#2 What's Hebrew for "drop dead"?

Is it close to Hebrew for "f*ck you"?

#3 What's Hebrew for "drop dead"?

#4 "Lig in drerd" would be the phrase in yiddish

Notwithstanding the article, the UN is unlikely to take this position; for one reason, the precedent wouldn't sit well with Russia and China

#7 The U.S. will veto any such move in the Security Council. It was exactly for such nonsense that the SC veto was established. This has as much likelihood of ever passing as slave reparations payments

#9 "Lig in drerd" would be the phrase in yiddish

My mind instantly translated/read that as "lie in dung."
That's close enough for me.

#10 First, I think the UN will instantly agree, but second, they UN will want the money channeled through the UN, so by the time it reaches Lebanon, the purse will not only be empty, but the underage moths in the purse will have been molested.

#12 redneck is close

Lig in drerd = more literally is 'lie in ground'

more colloquially it would be

bury yourself
or
drop dead)

Drek would be yiddish for dung
