Never Again?

August 31, 2006 11:15 PM

Remember last week when we posted on the mother who's son was killed in Iraq?  She was writing a letter to the editor, protesting the Mayor of Salt Lake City's decision to host an anti-Bush rally.  At that moment, the marines came to tell her the news about her son.

Well the rally she was protesting took place a few days ago, and the blogger Desultory Thoughts was there.  He has posted pictures of the protest.  Among them: 

See how lovely the protest was?  Israelis (i.e. Jews) are ugly, torturing, war criminal, land stealing, tree killing, civilian bombers.  What ever happened to never again?

Apparently, it's here.

Not convinced?  They registered their protest under the name "Death to Israel."

The good blogger asks:

D. Sirmize: So this is a “Death To Israel” rally. I’m Jewish. Do you want me dead?

BREEZE (LIKE THE WIND): No, no.

2ND PROTESTER: There’s a difference between Zionism and Jews.

D. Sirmize: Well you say “Death to Israel.” I would think that implies death to Jews.

BREEZE (LIKE THE WIND): Well you’d probably be wrong.

D. Sirmize: Probably?

BREEZE (LIKE THE WIND): Do you see “Death to Israel” on any of our signs?

D. Sirmize: I haven’t read any of your signs. But you applied for a demonstration permit under the title “Death to Israel.” It doesn’t need to be on your signs, it’s on your permit!

2ND PROTESTER (to Breeze): You signed us up as “Death To Israel?”

BREEZE (LIKE THE WIND): Look, if I said “Death to Whales,” would you take that to mean I want to kill whales?

D. Sirmize: Uh, yeah.

Um, yeah.

That last bit of writing on the sign - does it say "ugly" or "ugly women"? Because there's something else written underneath, and that's what it really looks like.

You're right. I think it does say "ugly women."
