The brilliant and talented Israeli author and columnist Caroline Glick may have found herself a new career–
Caroline writes:
This week at Latma – the Hebrew-language media satire website I edit, we decided to do something new. We produced a clip in English. There we feature the Turkish-Hamas “love boat” captain, crew and passengers in a musical explanation of how they con the world.
We think this is an important Israeli contribution to the discussion of recent events and we hope you distribute it far and wide.
All the best,
Caroline
This is brilliant:

the Gaza Flotilla participants explain how they can con the world
We Con the World
full text:
There comes a time
When we need to make a show
For the world, the Web and CNN
There’s no people dying,
so the best that we can do
Is create the greatest bluff of all
We must go on pretending day by day
That in Gaza, there’s crisis, hunger and plague
Coz the billion bucks in aid won’t buy their basic needs
Like some cheese and missiles for the kids
We’ll make the world
Abandon reason
We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
With guns and our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
Ooooh, we’ll stab them at heart
They are soldiers, no one cares
We are small, and we took some pictures with doves
As Allah showed us, for facts there’s no demand
So we will always gain the upper hand
We’ll make the world
Abandon reason
We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
we’re waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
If Islam and terror brighten up your mood
But you worry that it may not look so good
Well well well well don’t you realize
You just gotta call yourself
An activist for peace and human aid
We’ll make the world
Abandon reason
We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
We’re waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
We con the world
We con the people
We’ll make them all believe the IDF is Jack the Ripper
We are peaceful travelers
We’re waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
We con the world (Bruce: we con the world…)
We con the people (Bruce: we con the people…)
We’ll make them all believe the IDF is Jack the Ripper
We are peaceful travelers
We’re waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
The truth will never find its way to your TV

Catchy tune. A bit more cleaned up than the Hollywood crowd. Just a little bit.
Logic101 commented:
Caroline Glick is probably the most informative and insightful observer of all things middle east…it’s worth a trip to the Jerusalem Post just to read her column.
Sickofobama commented:
That was great!
I wonder if the libs who sang the original “We Are The World” are ticked off?
I hope so.
I stand with you Israel, as does God and millions of Americans.

That was/is fantastic!! Go Israel! You have every right to defend yourselves. The Hamas are Terrorists…period…they want to kill the citizens of Israel…period. Too bad the US insists on kissing the Palestinians/UN butt cheeks whenever they can…the lame Obama administration (and the no show Susan Rice at the UN) and their fellow crony’s in this administration are not leaders and will not stand for democracy…that tells me they sympathize with terrorists. God help us all and bless the people of Israel.

I for one found this very funny. I am sending the link to all my friends. powder is dry.
GO Israel!
Ginger commented:
Praise the Lord……
Remember what McCain started screaming at the last of his campaign? “Get loud, speak up”
Israel we love you and pray for you every day. You have to do what you have to do. Remember….Pay backs are hell! It is past time for you to be very aggresive towards your many enemies.

The Nation of Islam is busted! This is sucks!
It’s makes honest Israeli hating Muslims like Louis Farrakhan and I look like cheap con-artists.
Worse, it makes me look like a wash-up swindler who can only Barney Frank…well, Barney Frank. The good times are gone and the butt ache remains. I have lost my con-artist touch.
Sure, I got the Jewish vote but, the election is over. I say toss the Jews under the bus! So, why not drop my mask and admit I am con-artist?
My limousine is running and I have a meeting with Barney Frank and David Axelrod. I am so angry that I could fist Barney Frank! If they don’t show this worn-out old con-artists some new tricks somebody is going to get screwed.
I cannot answer anymore questions. The Jews suck. America sucks. Heck, they both suck… and so does Barney Frank and I. Good day.
Ginger commented:
Five more months and I am praying that there is enough true American citizens in this country left to slow down this corrupted white house, senate and congress to make it untill November 2012.
Kevin P commented:
Do we want peace in the Middle East? Assuming the answer is yes, which side is actually hindering the solution?
A friend of mine posed this: If Hamas layed down their weapons – would Israel let them live in Peace? If Israel layed down all their weapons – would Hamas let them live in Peace?
Puts a good perspective on it.

Fabulous! God save Israel!

Wow! Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone would put this on top for a couple of days. Only thing I have seen that actually delivered the message.
BBroers commented:
Stand strong Israel! Not all of us in the West believe our lying media. Great video!!!
American commented:
Oh the death of an American citizen is soooo funny. If one death is funny, maybe 6 million is hilarious. Why not post some holocaust jokes next?
Barbara commented:
There is nothing wrong with satire, but this video is anything but satire and I won’t even discuss the poor quality of performances and recording. Nine lives were lost, so this clip is rather tasteless. Furthermore, Caroline Glitch, by the way, is anything but brilliant. She’s a cold-hearted product of a hostile zionist movement and far from being humane.
Mary M commented:
Brilliant.
Amazing.
Funny.
True.
Marvelous.
