How not to do propaganda

DIA:

Apparently Masa, a programme funded by the Israeli government that tries to build Zionism among young diaspora Jews bringing them to Israel for a year, is about to release a set of new ads in America warning of the dangers of intermarriage. The ads use a missing-persons theme, depicting Jews who marry gentiles as having disappeared or been abducted. By extension, the gentiles they have married are presumably analogised to kidnappers, murderers, terrorists, or perhaps (to take a charitable interpretation) natural disasters.

Pretty damn offensive... someone should re-introduce these folk to the Book of Ruth.

Quote of the day

"Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy ... Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it."

—George Bernard Shaw
