I think there was a group of German leftists who tried sporting keffiyehs with motifs that spoke to the true murderous nature of "the resistence", but I think the honour of creating a pro-Israel keffiyeh belongs to an Israeli fashion company. Every time I see young women wearing the damned things I feel ill for two reasons: the witless embrace of a movement that is extremely racist, xenophobic, sexist and that rejects a non-violent approach to resolving the conflict and the damned things look like bad knock-offs of a tallis, which I suspect is the origin of the keffiyeh in the first place. I'm no scholar, but I'd bet there isn't a single reference in the Qu'ran and haddiths that instructs Muslim men to wear garments with fringes all around and tassels tied in the corners. (Modern sources note that the wearing of the keffiyeh was common in Iraq, which, of course, once had a very substantial Jewish community.) Brian from TO

Lynne T,

Because it's vile, vile stuff and shouldn't be fed to Hamas or Hezbollah suspects as torture it's so bad. I mean I think Taken's approach to interrogations should be a starting point (could be more effective to put the nails through the testes before attaching the jumper cables), but force feeding anyone Manischewitz is just wrong.

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:48:34 +0000 http://www.hurryupharry.org/?p=22613#comment-396768 Speaking of boycotters: While this year’s selection seems to be worthwhile, I was disappointed that no Israeli author received. There are at least three such authors worthy of the award: The most mentioned is Amos Oz, though, I would prefer either A.B. Yehoshua, or David Grossman. Also worthy of the award are Aharon Appelfeld and if he is still alive, S. Yzhar. Is it possible that the Nobel committee is boycotting Israeli writers? Speaking of boycotters:
