Last month, Israel bombed Syria. Pundits rushed to speculate that the target was a nuclear facility. Syrian nationalists sat their brooding, upset that Israel can have its way so easily.
Syrian finally got vengeance, in the form of a surfer.
The world famous surfer Kelly Slater is so cool that his name combines two of my favorite Saved By the Bell characters. He is the eight-time world champion of surfing -- which almost matches Nadeem's reign as universe web-surfing champ.
But, this is why he's so damn cool. Check this out.
The surfer goes to Israel-Palestine to teach Israeli and Palestinians kids how to surf (which will definitely help for future PFLP surfboard missions). It is part of the newly launched Surf For Peace program.
Then, he is chased by Israeli paparazzi as he tries to get his groove on with Israel's second hottest supermodel, Bar Rafaeli (behind the lovely Chaima Sugarman).
In true Arab form, Slater beats a cameraman's ass (OK, so he pushed him, but let's go with the Syrian version).
Then, he gets the Palestinian treatment by Israel -- detention (minus the torture and home demolitions of course).
The best part of this Israeli-punching, Hijabi-surfing, Israeli honey-stealing dude is that he's of Syrian descent.

Cool. But with all the fine-ass Jewish girls over there, why on earth is their #1 supermodel a (fake?) blonde? Sad shit...
No, the best part of all this is that if an Israeli Jew went to Saudi Arabia or Syria... oh wait, they wouldn't even be allowed in the country! G-d bless Israel, where Syrians surfers can teach stuck up JAPs and felahe PAPs the joys of taking their anger out on inanimate clusters of H2O.
@ Kabob Al-Makshouf
The proper analogue would be an *American* Jew being allowed inside Syria or Saudi Arabia. Which happens plenty, usually with less harassmnt than Arab Amricans entering Israel experience. He's an American citizen (isn't he?). If this guy was a Syrian national he wouldn't be allowed into Israel to do this.
And water isn't inanimate, precisely. It moves.
oh so that's where those features come from!
saladin, i hope you wrote that post in a hurry cuz otherwise you're a moron. Syrian nationals (gasp!) can enter Israel. Believe it or not, I know quite a few (double gasp!) And jews allowed into Saudi Arabia? Well, i guess ill just hope that u wrote this post in a hurry!
Hey guys, saw this through google... interesting convo.
Let me tell you first hand that in ALL GCC countries there are PLENTY of american passport holders that are jewish...
As a surfer, i was thrilled to hear this guy was an arab, but this is unverified, i've tried to google his heritage, and come up empty... i think it was just a case of sensationalism to get sales, webhits, whatever!
Laters...
I can back that up. American Jews are frequent travelers to the Gulf, especially for business activities. I don't know any Jews who have gone there on vacation yet, but I'm sure it's going to happen. In fact, some Jewish organizations are already discussing with the governments the establishment of Jewish synagogues, or the rebuilding of those destroyed by Arab mobs after 1948, but these would probably be restricted to "foreigner only" hotels and resorts.
The only Jews that I know of who CAN'T go to the Gulf countries are those with Israeli passports.
The people I knew with the last name Slater were Jewish not Arab, lol. Maybe he's of Jewish/Syrian/Ashkenazi decent.
I mean Jewish Syrians are still Syrians are they not? Maybe not ;-)
In a NYTimes article about a brand new research university being built in the Saudi Arabian desert and meant to compete with the best Western universities in research.
"Israelis, barred by law from visiting Saudi Arabia, will not be able to collaborate with the university."
I wonder if this refers to Israelis or only Israeli Jews... Looks like things haven't changed all that much in Saudi Arabia. I suppose the university's key research activities will include most optimal decapitation techniques, IED construction and other tools of the trade.
