Typical

The organizers of the Gay Pride parade in Jerusalem have, for the second year in a row, postponed their parade because they realized that Israel is in the midst of some serious emotional (and this time, physical) issues. They have graciously backed down out of sympathy for the feelings of their fellow Jews and because they know when to tread lightly on people's toes. So what's the response of people that have been demonizing them for months?

"We won!"

Yes, that's right, the Israeli and Jewish right are cheering "their" great accomplishment in getting the GOVERNMENT to cancel the parade. I can't wait for the Katrina nutcases to start the theodicy crap again. A few predictions:

A- Hezbollah are tools of the Lord, who used them to show that HE'S the one in charge!
B- Hezbollah are punishments from God for not stopping "the gays" immediately.

What happened to giving credit where credit is due? If you disagree with homosexuality or having the parade in Jerusalem, fine, but how about acknowledging that the organizers of this event are not so callous and heartless as people have been saying? How much do you bet some anti-Disengagement or haredi guys would have kept THEIR marches on schedule regardless of whatever was going on? I'll bet anything Lazer Brody wouldn't stop something HE thought was important just because a little thing like a war had started.

"Are you kidding? Who can bother to think about wars when Moshiach is just around the corner! By the way, has anyone seen my peyess? I think they may have strangled a passing cat."

Speaking of the dear Rav and his Rebbe, btw...

It's showtime!

Melitzer Rebbe: The Geula has started

The Gemorra... lists a number or preconditions that indicate the imminent end of the diaspora and the coming of Moshiach. Until recently, all but two of these conditions have been fulfilled. The next to-the-last condition, namely, that residents of the borders shall roam from place to place, was fulfilled last year with the disengagement...The final condition, the destruction of the Galilee, is something none of would have ever believed. Yet, it's happening before our startled eyes.

With Gemorra in hand, I hastened to the Melitzer Rebbe shlit'a. I asked him point blank: "Rebbe, the list is complete; has the Geula (redemption of our people) started?"

The Melitzer looked me straight in the eye and sid, "Yes!"

There you have it, folks: The Geula has started.

You know, Lazer, it's funny, I can't help but feel we've seen this movie before. Is the Melitzer's first name Pat? Jerry? Shabbetai?

Need more proof? You don't yet take me seriously?

Duh?
