Prison Bitches and Historical Irony

No, they never thought to ask

Suppose every last Jew in Israel were dead or fled, what would rise in place of the Zionist Entity?

Not on this watch. We ain't gonna let it happen. And, gladly, the Israelites remain very pissed off, and very protective of their soldiers.

It would be something like the Hamas-Hezbollah terror squats in Gaza and Lebanon writ large. Hamas won a landslide in the Palestinian elections, and Hezbollah similarly won formal control of key Lebanese Cabinet ministries. But they're not Mussolini: They have no interest in making the trains run on time.

Edmund Clingan (once at the University of North Dakota; I think he's at Queen's College now) always reminded us about Vichy and their determination to get as many trains from the ghettos to the concentration camps on time. Overwhelmed, Nazi documents show that the German High Command actually asked Vichy to hold off until they could get every Moses and Aaron that they already had "processed."

Anti-semitism is on the rise, again, in Europe, (it seems to remain at nearly the same levels in the eastern-Med) but this time in a slightly different dimension.
