Another member of the Dutch Parliament made a movie, <i>Fitna</i>, which was disobliging to the much traduced Muslims, and the Dutch, gladly throwing over their proud heritage, sent emissaries to the Middle East saying, "We don't support him."

Ah, the Gaza light bulb jokes...I remember a light bulb joke a progressive young Israeli woman told me in the bus at the check point into Bethlehem in 1996.

Q: How many Israeli men does it take to change the light bulb above the kitchen sink?

A: NONE. Let the bitch wash the dishes in the dark.

Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Don't bother. I'll just sit here in the dark.

Told me by a Jew in college.

Very.

Q: How many commies does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: All of them, they share the work equally.
