№ 745.2: EXTRA! Trump Sets His Sights On Antisemitism (or does he?)

Trump’s Executive Order Against College Campuses Is Bad For The Jews

You may feel as I do that college campuses have gotten increasingly — and inexcusably — anti-Semitic in recent years. But this executive order is not “good for the Jews” as the saying goes. That’s because any anti-discrimination order by this particular president is bad for the Jews, for one simple reason: It further identifies us with an anti-democratic administration.

AND FURTHERMORE (December 11)

This policy has a serious flaw.

It prevents criticism of Israel's gun law*.

Israeli law says all guns must be licensed!

And you can only own one at a time!

When it comes to bullets,

and if you own more than fifty,

you're guilty of a serious “crime”!

There are no exceptions,

there is no appeal.

So NRA is

anti-Israel?

————————

*US conservatives like to point out that both societies are well-armed, but the similarity ends there: Israelis trust their state, and don’t fear each other

No. 282.2: EXTRA! NRA Thinks Outside The (Ammo) Box (a pressing release)

Everyone knows guns are pure fun.

They make it safer for everyone.

F'rinstance:

if more women were thought to pack heat,

there's some fellas who might be discrete,

slower to give in to their inner ape,

decreasing the frequency of so-called date rape.

Oh, sure, the body count might shoot somewhat up

and a guy'd (maybe) pause before, “Hey, baby, 'sup?”

And maybe some gals would off a few beaus,

but think of the uptick for gun sales and ammo.
