1. Order your new T-shirt today!! It will read: "My country invaded Area ’A’ of the Gaza Strip with tanks and troops in order to crush Palestinian terrorism and fascism and all we got out of it was this lousy T-shirt!!"

2. Meir Sheetrit on Israel TV this evening trying to spin-doctor yesterday’s fiasco: "Well, if the PLO shoots any more mortars at Israel we will THEN KNOW how to respond!!"

   But Comrade Meir, if the Israeli government does not have the foggiest idea how to respond to those mortars ALREADY fired at Israeli civilians, why should anyone believe you NOW?

3. The Moslem Waqf and assorted Moslem political groups, especially one calling itself "Al Aqsa", are going on the warpath against a sound-and-light exhibit in Jerusalem that shows a "Virtual Temple" on a large screen, showing what the Second Temple of Herod looked like 2000 years back. The Moslems insist this is an act of aggression and racism. Everyone KNOWS the Jews never had any Temple, and the creation of a computer program that simulates what it might have looked like is a human rights abuse against peaceful Moslems. So insisted their spokesfascist on Israeli TV news "Erev Hadash" this evening.

   Really!

4. Miss Israel to wear bulletproof dress to pageant

   Miss Israel will wear a bulletproof gown to next month’s Miss Universe beauty pageant.

   The top of the silk dress, embroidered with diamonds and pearls, is covered by an army-issue flak jacket adorned with diamonds for a so-called softer look.

5. From Jerusalem Post:

   (14:45) PA newspaper article: The Fable of the Holocaust

   An article published in the April 13th edition of the official Palestinian Authority daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida describes the Holocaust as a "fable."

   "Jewish controlled media" in the West perpetuate Holocaust myths, the article says, and contends that Palestinians are the true victims of the Holocaust.

   The article, written by Hiri Manzour, goes on to say that Zionists exploit the Holocaust for political and financial profit, that the number of six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust is a lie "as the vaults in the camp could not have held even one percent of that number," and alleges Jews brought European antisemitism upon themselves because Zionism needed a unifying factor against assimilation.

   Selected quotes from the text:

   "MARKETING ASHES"

   "The issue of the holocaust rises again. It defies disappearing over its half-century because the Zionist propaganda has converted it into a means to produce political and economic benefit, besides exploiting it for the advancement of occupation and settlement..."

   "A recently published book by an American researcher, discusses the holocaust. Employing scientific and chemical evidence, it proves that the figure of six million Jews cremated in the Nazi Auschwitz camps is a lie for propaganda, as the most spacious of the vaults in the camp could not have held even one percent of that number."

   "By and large, the Zionist movement cannot tolerate inactivity in any facet of the holocaust profession, especially since intelligentsia from around the globe have begun addressing the corresponding holocaust, that is the one the Hebrew State is bringing upon the Palestinians."

   "Dr. Ramses Awd, an Arab writer, published an important book, not long ago, entitled "The Holocaust - Between Denial and Upholding", in which he reviews most of the theses that deal with the acts of massacre of the Jews in the Nazi period. But this book is not the final word. At the time of its publication the entire issue was raised anew, especially in the United States, the continent that was conquered, on all levels, nearly entirely, by Zionist media."

   "It seems that there was a slump in the political sale of the Zionist product, and all the standard tools lost their ability to market it anew, while the world forgets the other side, that is the Palestinian holocaust, which still seeks museums of its own..."

   "The question now discussed in the halls of the universities and the renowned publishing houses in the world’s capitols, is: has this hen reached its expiration date, which lays golden eggs for the Jews everywhere?"

   "And has history, now in the prime of its potency, clarified that the victims of the holocaust were themselves those who created it? Of course there are those who claim that the Jews actively participated in directing European feelings against them, according to the theory of resisting assimilation, assimilation being the essential enemy of Zionism..."

   "When Zionism cannot find an enemy to separate and repel the Jews, it invents such an enemy; and so was the case with the holocausts. Its need for it [holocaust] is imperative, even organic, required to fill its message with the drama needed to get it across. What is happening now is not just an activation of the holocaust and its revival from ashes, but its reproduction and international marketing."

   "Unfortunately for the Zionist circles, the West itself has awoken from its half-century coma. And so the time has come for the European intellectual to declare himself historically mature and to liberate himself from the Jewish guardianship that entangled him in existential difficulties, and in a memory filled with guilt, on top of the collective guilty verdict applied evenly by Zionism upon the nations of Europe."

   "Had it been the Arabs who had raised this thesis on the holocaust and its industry, and the accompanying additions and distortions, the topic would not have aroused the interest it has. The awakening came from the West, from the heart of the very house in which they say there were massacres.

   "The Hebrew state is wary not only of scientific doubts being cast upon the holocaust, but also because they see this doubt as a portal to the denunciation of all the false Jewish claims..."

   "And possibly it is meaningful that the latest American book to refute and disprove the fable of the holocaust comes at the same time as the repeated declarations of Rabbi Ovadia..."

   "We are concerned that these dramatic cries regarding the holocaust, whether for or against, are intended to cover up the corresponding holocaust, that which Zionism is now producing with missile and tank, against the Arabs in Palestine."

   "The components of this new holocaust are nearly all finalized, and the world has started following it closely while re-examining the whole story that has lived more than fifty years, due to the media which carried it and was its missionary, and not due to its being ’historical’."
