Yes.
Can I see it?
No.
localized entirely within your enemy's hospital?!
Yeah, i realized I could have gone in that direction after I posted.
I also considered
"A concrete reinforced tunnel?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your enemies graveyard?!"
I thought this was about Israel not jews
... it is about Israel.
The punch line targets an ethnicity rather than a government.
I didn't realize that referencing the official language of the state of Israel was targeting an ethnicity.
I'm just trying to let you know why this won't go over well with some people. I personally do not care, but I do want to see advocacies for peace well communicated so to not be misconstrued as something bigoted, since that would be a step backwards for us all.
"I'm Jewish and I've never heard that."
Isn’t the Hamas hq under the hospital?
"Can I see it?"
"No."
Honest question: why are commenters here saying “Hebrew” refers to an ethnicity rather than the language?
To my ears it sounds like an archaic or incorrect way to refer to a Jewish person or people, sort of like referring to Muslims as Arabs. But if I’m mistaken, or this is a new self-descriptor, I’d like to know.
I think the majority of commenters here don't actually know that Hebrew is the official language of Israel and assume it is a reference to the Jewish people themselves. Others seem to be claiming that since OP chose to use a language instead of a location like in the original episode (Skinner claims it's a regional dialect, and when pressed on what dialect, he says, "upstate New York."), he's somehow being antisemitic because he's equating it to, "all Jews," instead of, "Isralis." That's of course nonsense; Israel is the only country to have Hebrew as an official language, and the vast majority of the world's Hebrew speakers live in Israel. In fact, Hebrew was basically a dead language until the Zionist movement revived it in the late 19th century. The vast majority of Jewish people outside of Israel would only speak Hebrew as part of prayers, much like Catholics would use Latin (at least until they ended Latin Mass in the 60s). The idea of, "Hebrew expression," being coded towards the larger Jewish population instead the one country in the world where this language is regularly spoken is just silly.
Remember that they have conquered the Al Shifa hospital two months ago and we still haven't seen one single piece of evidence of the "HAMAS COMMMAND CENTER" they were screaming about. Other than a half assed attempt at putting a camera through a hole to show what was a... hospital servicing tunnel.
That flag of Israel is missing the white stripes and it's really bothering me
I think I'm learning a lot from this thread.
