A 30 year-old Dry Bones cartoon. Wow!

Their History

Their blood-thirsty hatred of their brothers seems to rival their hatred of the rest of us.

21st Century Islamism

The roots of today's cartoon are in a song that Pete Seeger and other "folk singers" sang during those long-ago years when I was starting college and folk music was all the rage. Those long-ago years were SO far back in time that leftist folk singers in America proudly sang Israeli folk songs as part of their rousing repertoire.

One of the ditties in their song bag was a song called "Old Man Atom", written by Vern Partlow. The song was comical, timely, and fun, in spite of its subject matter (the Atomic Bomn). The song was recorded and rerecorded by many artists, including the famous mainstream country group, Sons of the Pioneers.

One line in the catchy and controversial song was:

"The people of the world must pick out a thesis
Peace in the world, or the world in pieces"

When I sat down to do today's cartoon, that old song popped into my head.
For more of the story of the song click on Old Man Atom.

So are you so old that you can remember that song?
Nu?

Two Step Plan

Right now I'm away from my studio.
I did today's cartoon before leaving for a U.S. lecture tour.

I'm in America on my "Dry Bones Campaign to turn Z Street into the Grass Roots Zionist Movement that America Needs", and to explain my YIISA (Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism) "Secret Codes" findings.

I plan to return home to Israel in time for for Shavuot (June 7).

Repackaging

The Islamist war against the Jewish State has been successfully repackaged as an Israeli war against the "Palestinians". Even Zionist organizations now refer to the conflict as the "Israeli Palestinian problem". * * * I did the cartoon after reading a quote from Israel's Makor Rishon Hebrew Newspaper:

Which Side Is the Tiny,Threatened Minority?
- Uri Elitzur (Dec 31, 2010)

"We in Israel are 6 million Jews surrounded by 250 million Arabs, and beyond them a billion Muslims.

We are the tiny, threatened minority - and the Palestinians are an integral part of the vast, threatening majority."

I came across the quote at an important source called the "Daily Alert"
