Jerusalem the Golden

[Rabbi Sammy Schtupp]

Jerusalem the golden,
with milk and honey blest,
now Zionist Israel's mighty fortress
where we Jews can rest:
I know well, how I know well,
what joys await us there;
what radiancy of glory,
for all the Jews to share.

They stand, those halls of Zion,
all jubilant with song,
and the sound of klezmer playing,
come on: let's sing along!
And there's the throne of David;
done out in bright gold leaves,
the pride of us who've triumphed,
over those Palestinian thieves.

They tried to live in our lands
but we conquered in the fight,
for ever and for ever
we Jews know might is right!
Oh, sweet and blessèd country,
the home of God's elect,
Oh, sweet and blessèd Zionist Israel,
that Jewish souls respect!

Oy vay!

[Rabbi Sammy Schtupp]

More anti-semitism. Edna is a Jewish name, by the way. Are you related to the Susslieben family from Vilna?

We've got a saying about Jews in Australia.
But I'm not going to say it in public.

[David Grease]

I dont hold with laughing at jews - you people forget about the 6 million who those German bastards fried alive. Dresdden was too good for them imho.

I find some of these remarks offensive but then I think the arrogance of the poem itself invites criticism.
