Judy's Got Them Pin-Pointed

Judy Balint points out that today's Jerusalem Post reports that "vandals defaced the newly erected entry sign to the Kalandia terminal north of Jerusalem, daubing on it the infamous Auschwitz inscription, "Arbeit Macht Frei."

The article goes on at length to attribute the graffiti to the far-left Machsom Watch women's group.

And Judy then reveals how idiotic some of our "intelligence community" people are.

Read on:

I'm no friend of Machsom Watch, but anyone monitoring the rantings of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) will have noticed that on January 19, the day of the daubing, "Katie" from ISM proudly describes how she and an "American Jewish activist friend" did the deed with a home-made stencil. She even notes how they handed out flyers describing why they were doing it.

Here's her description

The Occupation Will Not Be Sugar-Coated
January 19th, 2006
by Katie

At the entrance to Qalandia checkpoint there is a sign with a big flower on it that says “the hope of us all.” The insanity of this cheerful phrase in front of an illegal checkpoint was not lost to an Israeli Jewish activist friend of mine. It reminded her of the Nazi slogan “Arbeit Macht Frei,” meaning “work will set you free” which was posted at the entrace to concentration camps in Poland. She thought it would be a great action if we spray painted “Arbeit Macht Frei” on the Qalandia sign; so I made a stencil of it and bought a can of spray paint as soon as I could. I met her at Qalandia today and by chance ran into another American Jewish activist friend of mine.

We were a little bit afraid we would get arrested but there were no soldiers in sight and I was feeling a little bit giddy like a kid who knows she’s about to do something bad like eating a whole tub of ice cream before breakfast. We quickly painted it and handed out flyers in Arabic and English to onlookers explaining what we were doing. Then we left without so much as a single IOF gun pointed in our faces.


Now wouldn't you think someone from the Israeli Police or the Interior Ministry would be monitoring ISM postings and go after these morons to deport them?

Judy, you and I think but the other persons you mention obviously don't.

NO, SILLY, they're too busy tracking down right-wing patriots and finding excuses - like defending themselves or the Land of Israel - and deporting them!
