…is a woman named Deborah Fink at St. James’ Church in London. Check out this CNN report about how her church group is rewriting well-known Christmas carols to draw attention to Israeli apartheid:
Her spin on ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’:
“Twelve assassinations, Eleven homes demolished, Ten wells obstructed, Nine sniper towers, Eight gunships firing, Seven checkpoints blocking, Six tanks a-rolling, Five settlement rings, Four falling bombs, Three trench guns, Two trampled doves, And an uprooted olive tree!”

Holy shit. CNN reported this, eh? I guess they’re the less of the two liberal cable evils.
Anyone notice how embarassing MSNBC has become over Obama lately? They’re the Huffington Post of cable television. So embarassing.

Yalla, haywanet.
Posted by Pale Ale | December 2, 2008, 11:34 amWhat does Israel have to do with Christmas? I thought Israelis were Jews? Would you be having orgasms over Christmas carols that were re-written by political activists to emphasize Islamic terrorism in the Holy Land to?
Love the fact that the “organizer” of this event is Jewish, too! Teh way you wrote this up, it almost sounded like those were actual Christians who spontaneously decided to do this on their own. But, turns out it’s just some asshat activists, most of whom are probably atheists, who are exploiting a holiday they don’t even believe in for their own selfish purposes. I bet it’s the first time a lot of those people have ever even seen the inside of a Church, eh?
Not surprised egotistical hypocrites like that are real popular with the ‘festers

Other than the fact they’re illegally occupying the place where it started and then restricting local Christians from celebrating it?
You’re a prize fucking tool, Craig.

Oh, yeah, right. And Muslims didn’t do the same thing for 1000 years? lol. Seems to me that Palestinian Muslims are the main people restricting access to Christianity’s Holy Sites. Maybe we should declare another Crusade and clear all the Muslims out, eh? Permanently. And then if Israelis make it difficult for non-Arab Christians to visit the Holy Land, we can see about doing something about that. As to your whining about Arab Christians having restricted access… who cares? Not me. They are more loyal to Islam and Arabs than they are to their nominal religion. If they want support form other Christians, they should stop allying themselves with Christianity’s enemies. Otherwise, they should sleep in the bed they made.
You’re a prize fucking tool, Craig.
And you’re an abusive atheist who wants to exploit the followers of a religion he doesn’t even believe in for political purposes. Fuck off and die.
