“Zionist Cockroach” Could Be Considered a Compliment
Don’t jump to conclusions. Hear the man out:
In a December 11, 2009 column titled “The Zionist Cockroach” in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Qabas, Kuwaiti columnist Fakhir Hashem Al-Sayed Rajab compared the Zionists to cockroaches capable of survival in any situation….
“There are [various] types of cockroaches: wingless, winged, German, American, Asian. Cockroaches are among the most primeval of the earth’s creatures; they can withstand harsher conditions than any other creature, and adapt rapidly to their environment. They say that there are 4,000 kinds [of cockroaches]. The cockroach can survive a week or two without its head, and a month without food. It can withstand many times more radiation than a human can, and will fight to survive.
“I compare the Zionist to the cockroach.
See, that’s not so bad. Admiring, almost.
Let’s see how he continues:
For thousands of years, the Zionist has fought [to remain] alive, by all possible means: plunder, exploitation, deceit, killing, and ‘laying [its] eggs’ across the world so that its offspring will continue to exist until Judgment Day.
“The Zionists have managed to quietly take over the world, imperturbably… and now they are the most powerful force in the world – not in physical strength and weapons stockpiles, but in their power of thought, economics, and planning in all countries, so that [these countries] obey them, and whoever opposes them must watch out. A simple declaration against them means a cruel attack by them – and antisemites beware!
We, and he, should have stopped when we were ahead.
It’s not about the settlements, people. It’s not about the settlements.
PS: Can any Zionists out there confirm or deny that you lay eggs? As descendants of apes and pigs (so I read), you are surely mammalian. But evolution is already irrelevant to this discussion.

Re the egg conundrum, I direct your attention to the platypus. Perhaps Zionists are platypuses.
I’m just trying to help.

Don’t think it hadn’t occurred to me, Carol. But the platypus is unique to Australia, isn’t it? I’m familiar with the theories of Thor Hyerdahl and others on early oceanic migrations, and Judeo-Christian tradition holds that Moses parted the Red Sea, but that still doesn’t get me very far.
I think perhaps the fellow above might be mistaken: Jews are people(!)

HATE always wins out. What’s ingrained here is HATE!

BTL, your last theory just might be crazy/wacky enough to be possible. I’ll give it further thought.
And Saul’s right too, of course. Sigh.
