A Moslem Missive to a Jewish Friend
I say, Israel farts in the face of the Lord and in the face of the whole world all the time by rubbing it in raw and gloating and hectoring gracelessly thus: we want the Arabs and the Palestinians and the Moslems to know that they are a defeated people; we want them to feel defeat, disgrace, dishonour, degradation, humiliation in the marrow of their bones; we want them to eat bilious bitterness and rancid resentment for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner every day of their lousy lives!
