The Wisdom of Jackie Mason
I'm not a fan of comedian Jackie Mason. Don't like him at all. But he's gotten some undeserved bad press for dropping a Palestinian-American comedian as his opening act. Big Media spin on the story: Mason, a Jew, dropped Ray Hanania, a Palestinian, in an act of petulant discrimination based on race. But wait... turns out Hanania is an activist for Palestinian causes and excuser of Palestinian terrorists who has written lovingly of the hoped-for destruction of Israel. Hanania has written that he looks forward to the "possibility of correcting the original injustice of 1948 and restoring Palestinian control over all of Palestine." 1948 was the creation of the state of Israel. It was also the year the Palestinians and their Arab supporters rejected creation of a neighboring state of Palestine and instead dedicated themselves to destroying Israel and killing as many Jews as possible.

No wonder Mason booted Ray Hanania from his show. Hanania sides with terrorists.

The weblog InstaPundit brought this to my attention. Wouldn't it be nice if Big Media brought you the whole story? But until they do, trust weblogs to ferret it out.
