Benjamin Netanyahu will be speaking at local temple in a few weeks... (UPDATE: He spoke last night)

[aphex]

And the tickets range from $75-$1200.... Do ya think its worth it? Its at an Orthodox temple less than a mile from my house...

 

[Adul]

umm no

I blame Netanyahu for creating the atmosphere that led to Yitzhak Rabin's assassination.

And where is the money raised going?

After reading the ad again.... it says...

"Portions of the proceeds raised with benefit Hazatolah, Israel's military responce to terrorism...."

I would say probably not, but I'm a cheapskate, so....

He has become a sombody in the world through hate. Pray for him. He's among the lost. He doesn't know that 'he is' the Palestinian.

Will gefilte (sp?) fish be served?

 

[UberNeuman]

It will be interesting to hear what he has to say and why must everything come down to money? I don't think people should have to pay to hear this.... I'm guessing it will be much of what he's said before...

[SuperTool]

Well, if they asked my grandmother, she would make gefilte fish worth paying $1200 for

Hopefully he won't spit on anyone.

$1200 - It is obvious that the money payed for such tickets should be considered as a donation to the State of Israel. The cheaper tickets are for people who want to listen.
I went to one of his election speeches once because it was 100 meters from my house. He is not hateful. Just concerned over national security. After serving in Sayeret Matcal (an elite counter-terrorist IDF unit) I don't blame him.

 

[rbhawcroft]

is th e1200 going to likud or his cigar budget? since the state isnt funding that anymore, hehe.

if you go ask whether he supports 78/22 division of the palestinian mandate, this was the deal offered by the arabs in syria about 12 weeks ago, but the israeli right actually wants to keep the occupied lands, and have the palestinians live in south africa like ghettoes fragmented by military roads.

78/22 is approx the amounts of land from before the 67 war.

[rbhawcroft]

if it says portion of proceeds going to... then the rest is for him, probably over 15k

who are hazabollah anyway some kind of settler organisation?

 

[Martin]

I wouldn't go if someone payed me to listen to that jackass.

 

[aphex]

Welp he actually showed up.... There were reporters and cops EVERYWHERE, because the temple is soo close...

The pro Israeli American media kiss this guy's butt, and hang on his every anti Palestinian word.
Let anyone, anyone, utter an equally hard line anti Israeli comment, and the press comes down with the usual anti semite labels and accusations.
