Tough living in Cambridge, “Hamasachusetts”
comment by Jerry Gordon
My Boston buddy, Hillel Stavis wrote this scathing indictment of Moonbats run amok in Cambridge, Massachusetts with a Peace Commission visit to the Palestinian territories. From reading his American Thinker piece, you’d think that Cambridge was located in the heart of “Hamasachusetts”, as he wrote me in an email. Actually, it’s more like ‘dhimmiville” in the Commonwealth. Apparently, the Cambridge city fathers bereft over evident American post-colonialism in the world sent the Peace Commission “slouching towards Bethlehem” last year to make common cause with their Islamist overseers.
Stavis notes:
-
The not-so-wide-ranging Peace Commission routinely hosts Arab and Muslim speakers who have extolled the “golden era” in Iraq under the communist period (1957-1963) and who attribute honor killings of Iraqi women to the U.S. occupation!
Stavis regales us with some of the “do’s and don’ts” that the delegation had to be aware of when in the ‘occupied territories’: * “Some U.S. citizens travel with an unconscious attitude of superiority”
* “Being openly gay or lesbian is outside the cultural norms of Palestinian life…”
* “It is best that you not raise the issue of being gay or lesbian with Palestinians..”
* “It’s best not to practice your Hebrew with Palestinians even if someone uses it with you.”
* “It is better not to wear a kippah or yarmulke in Palestinian communities. Again, while our hosts are glad to meet Israelis and Jews, there are many eyes and ears watching for collaborators.”
* “Israeli settlers and soldiers disguise themselves [as tourists or Palestinians] and also enter Palestinian areas boldly without disguise.”
* “If a host gives you a kuffiya [traditional Palestinian headdress for men] or other clothes to wear, it is a good idea to put them on. It will help you blend in with the community, which may be important for local security. It communicates that you belong.” [emphasis added]
Stavis notes that you’d think that the Cambridge Peace Commission ‘dhimmies’ would at least have made a side trip to Darfur in the Sudan to protest one of the latest human disasters perpetrated by Jihadis. Nope, not then, and not soon, either.
The good citizens of Cambridge should chuck this leftist peace boondoggle and return to more prosaic pursuits-balancing the city budget for starters. We understand that the benighted Cambridge Council appropriates $60,000 for this post Colonialist and terrorist supporting institution. But then Cambridge is host to the budding academic center of Sharia, Harvard University.
If you want to witness what these arch dhimmis are like watch the video at the end of this Solomonia blog post about what Stavis found at a meeting of the Pecae Commission.
Yes, Hillel, it is tough living in Cambridge, Hamasachusetts for a decent law abiding concerned citizen like you.
Secrets of the Cambridge, Massachusetts Peace Commission
by Hillel Stavis, The American Thinker, May 2, 2008
Here are some travel tips from the official City of Cambridge Peace Commission for visiting our good friends in the Palestinian territories.
* “Some U.S. citizens travel with an unconscious attitude of superiority”
* “Being openly gay or lesbian is outside the cultural norms of Palestinian life…”
* “It is best that you not raise the issue of being gay or lesbian with Palestinians..”
* “It’s best not to practice your Hebrew with Palestinians even if someone uses it with you.”
* “It is better not to wear a kippah or yarmulke in Palestinian communities. Again, while our hosts are glad to meet Israelis and Jews, there are many eyes and ears watching for collaborators.”
* “Israeli settlers and soldiers disguise themselves [as tourists or Palestinians] and also enter Palestinian areas boldly without disguise.”
* “If a host gives you a kuffiya [traditional Palestinian headdress for men] or other clothes to wear, it is a good idea to put them on. It will help you blend in with the community, which may be important for local security. It communicates that you belong.” [emphasis added]
The above “travel tips” were used in orientation sessions[1] for The City of Cambridge Peace Commission as part of their official mission to Bethlehem last winter. Working closely with the Cambridge to Bethlehem People to People Committee, The Peace Commission’s solidarity mission was given a rousing sendoff by every member of the Cambridge City Council last November.
Not every municipality in this country is fortunate enough to have a Peace Commission, but, thanks to the foresight of the ever-Progressive archons of correctness, Cambridge crafted their agency more than 25 years ago to defend its citizens from the ravages of nuclear war. And so, while the rest of us wrong-thinking retrogrades are becoming toast on Massachusetts Avenue after the Big One drops, the enlightened citizens of Cambridge will survive to bond with revolutionaries from Nicaragua to Gaza.
The not-so-wide-ranging Peace Commission routinely hosts Arab and Muslim speakers who have extolled the “golden era” in Iraq under the communist period (1957-1963) and who attribute honor killings of Iraqi women to the U.S. occupation!
The Cambridge Peace Commission has never hosted an event to benefit the victims of genocide in Darfur, whose victims of Arab aggression now number in the hundreds of thousands. The killings and rapes in that region, arguably, the greatest crime against humanity perpetrated in the last decade, it would seem, hold no interest for the high-minded Peace Commissioners. Repeated attempts to contact Ms. Hoffman by the Massachusetts Coalition to Save Darfur went unanswered. Finally, a coalition director was told that his suggestions for an event would be passed on to the new director. Don’t hold your breath.
